I’m wanting to take my kids to Disney for one day. Which park

I would say it depends on the age of your kids. How old are they?

This. Also I wouldn't do magic kingdom on the weekend as that's it's busiest time generally, most people that do a weekend Disney trip hit up MK. If you aren't staying on site, I'd also recommend not going to the park with Magic hours as that will be busy that day.

18 months and 6.

Magic Kingdom
/thread

One day, I would have to say Magic Kingdom and the iconic castle picture along with all the characters you could see.

At that age they are not going to remember too much anyway.

It will be the most crowded for sure.

Epcot is a really good way to meet characters as well and I never find it as crowded but your kids would be too small for most of the good rides.

Of course Toy Story land is about to open at whatever the name that park is with Tower of Terror. I'm sure it will be really packed.

I would skip Animal Kingdom with that age group.

If you are going to do this, buy your tickets now and get fast passes.

For a 6 year old, 7 Dwarves Mine Train will be his/her best thrill.

Get fast passes for three of the following:

7 Dwarves
Peter Pan
Ariel under the sea
Winnie Poh

I wouldn't waste fast passes on the following because even if the line is long, it goes fast:
Dumbo
Small World
Buzz Lightyear

If your 6 yo wants to meet a character, use just one of his/her fast passes, you don't all need fast passes.

One thing about having a 6 month old, you can do rider swap. You get three fast passes and your wife get three different fast passes.

For example, you get a FP for space mountain, your wife stays with the kids, you come off the ride, she goes on through the fast pass line w/o a fast pass. They will give her a rider swap pass when you first enter.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can do it.

That way, your 6 year old gets three FP, lets say 7 Dwarves, Ariel, & Peter Pan. You use 2 of your FP for 7 Dwarves & Ariel, your wife uses one of hers on Peter Pan.
That leaves 3 FPs between the two of you.
Uses one for a Character Meet if you want.

You still have 2 left. Then you do like I said above, use a FP and get a rider swap for two adult rides.

If you have never been to WDW then Magic Kindgom is likely the best answer,

Good diaper changing stations everywhere.
18 month old will likely enjoy people watching more than anything anyway.

6 year old may easily enjoy one of the other parks more.

Meh. Probably not. Disney movies and characters are special in this age demographic.
At 8-12 years old... they are probably more interested in the bigger and better rides (especially if they have been before).
But MK is what most of us older folks envision what Disney really is.
