We're arriving Oct.5th and leaving Oct.10th. First time for us. My kids are 6 and 3. (leaving baby home with Grandma). We're planning on seeing, MK, AK, Epcot, and MGM. 1 park for each day. We bought only the base Magic Your Way tickets with no upgrades, because being our first time, I can't imagine we'll get thru a park in half a day My questions are:
In what order do we visit them in? Do we save MK for last? I'm afraid that if we visit Mk first, my kids may not want to see the other parks, or the other parks may not be as exciting for them.
Should we only plan on seeing 3 parks, and visit MK 2 times?
What's the travel time by bus from Pop Century to the parks. I understand they have their own bus service.
TIA, Shelly

Welcome!
Travel time from Pop to the parks is to allow 1 hour. Usually quicker, but things can happen.
We usually visit MK the first day, but usually the last day, too. If you're only doing MK once, I'd probably hold off until last.
It'd be hard to decide with a 3 & 6 year old which park to skip (especially if this is a first trip) if you did want to do MK twice without park hopping because every park has something for your kids. (It's easy for us to say we'll skip MGM, but that's only after Aly has visited MGM at least 5 times, maybe 6. I did ask her to "let" me see Little Mermaid one more time if it's still there whenever we make it back because I've heard rumors that they are planning to shut it down in the future, but not sure when.)
But I definitely wouldn't advise you to skip Epcot...MOST people with young kids find it to be a great park, and AK offers a good bit, too.
Not that I'm trying to sell you on upgrading to park hoppers, but if you do decide y'all don't like a park, you can just hop to another one, or if a park is busy, you could hop to another that might not be so busy.

My advice is to either do 2 days at MK and skip AK or just pick a day where you want to rest, spend time at the pool
