General Itinerary Tips
-
Visit Magic Kingdom during the Weekdays (Monday-Thursday)
-
Visit Epcot during the Weekday (Monday-Thursday)
-
Take advantage of evening Extra Magic Hours
-
Skip the Morning Extra Magic Hours (unless you have preschoolers)
-
Always arrive to the Disney Theme Parks at least 15 minutes before the gates open to hit most of the park before the crowds hit at 11:00 AM
-
Once the gates open head right to the more popular rides - do not get stuck getting Character pictures. You will have time to do this later. Hit the more popular rides and attractions and then enjoy the Character Meet & Greets later.
-
Take full advantage of FastPass to maximize your time at the Disney Theme Parks
-
Around lunch time, take a break and head back to your Disney Resort for a nap or swim, and then head back to the Disney Theme Parks in the evening.
-
Hit more popular rides and attractions during parades or firework shows
-
If it rains, don't leave the park. Hang out until the rain stops and you will have an empty Theme Park to play!
-
Take advantage of Tip Boards, Disney Mobile, or Twitter for ride line times as you are wandering the park
