3 Days, 4 Parks!
This itinerary is for people who aren't using Fast Pass +; if you are going to, then look at all of the rides I said get a fast pass for and reserve them on your Fast Pass + account! Remember you can book it up to 60 days in advance!
Day 1
Magic Kingdom:
Be there before the doors open! They will hand "pixie dust" around and you get to see a special character train ride.
-The older ones (above 40 inches) hop on the next train and then get off at the first stop -Frontierland! Ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad several times! They younger ones can walk over to Fantasyland with an adult, or you can do the rider switch pass at Big Thunder Mt RR. To use this, you go up to a cast member and tell them all adults want to ride so you need a pass for the ones staying behind with the children. Then they give you what looks like a Fast Pass!
-Hop back on the train to Fantasyland. Ride Journey of the Little Mermaid.
Ride Dumbo the Flying Elephant.
Ride Peter Pan's Flight if the ride wait is below 30 min.
Ride Winnie the Pooh.
Adults Ride Mad Tea Party (spinning tea cups) and Children with an adult go drive at the Indy Speedway!
Look at the wait time for Space Mountain and the Fast Pass distribution. Decide if you want to ride now or grab Fast Passes.
Look at the wait time for Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin and decide if you want to ride it.
It should be around lunch time, so you can swing by Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café.
If you didn't ride Buzz, you can probably walk back and get a Fast Pass for it now. If you didn't ride Peter Pan earlier, then I would walk back there and get a Fast Pass instead of Buzz. You can ride Buzz later.
Walk through the castle over to Adventureland. Get in line to ride Jungle Cruise.
Ride Pirates of the Caribbean.
Walk to Frontierland and look at the wait time for Splash Mountain. If it is cold outside, you might not ride this because of the chance you will get wet. If the wait is more than 35 minutes, then look and see when you can get another Fast Pass and come back.
Walk back through Adventureland and watch the Enchanted Tiki Room.
Walk over to Haunted Mansion and ride it. The wait always looks long outside but it never really is. Once inside you are basically on the ride.
Ride It's a Small World.
Watch Mickey's Philharmagic.
Go eat and grab a seat in front of the Castle for the Electric Light Parade and Wishes firework show!
Day 2
Animal Kingdom & EPCOT:
Arrive before the park opens! As soon as you can enter, take off jogging to the left to ride Kilimanjaros's Safari ride! Everyone knows animals are most active in the morning so everyone is heading that way!
After this, head over to Expedition Everest. Get a Fast Pass! Even if the wait time is less than 30 min, you will probably want to ride it again. So ride it now and get a fast pass!
Walk back to the Tree of Life and get your picture made in front of it! Then go watch It's Tough to Be a Bug!
Look at your time sheet and go watch the next Finding Nemo the Musical!
Walk over to Dinoland and have the older kids ride Dinosaur. Someone accompany the younger ones to see their favorite characters for pictures and autographs!
Next, find something to eat! I suggest Flametree BBQ.
Your Fast Pass for Expedition Everest should be ready now! Go ride it!
Currently the Festival of the Lion King is being moved to a new theater in Africa. If it is open when you visit, make sure you look at your Time sheet for times to see it before you go!
Hop on a bus or drive to EPCOT!
Walk over to Soarin' and get a Fast Pass!
Go ride Living with the Land (it is beside Soarin')
Go ride The Seas with Nemo and Friends! Afterward, Walk around the aquarium until it is almost time to grab another Fast Pass!
Go ride Test Track if the wait isn't more than 40 minutes. If it is, grab a Fast Pass!
Go ride Ellen's Energy Adventure.
Go ride Spaceship Earth (it is the giant EPCOT golf ball).
Go ride Journey into the Imagination with Figment!
Now it should be time to ride Test Track and Soarin', so go ride those before you enter the World Showcase!
When you enter EPCOT's World Showcase, Mexico will be on your left. Go there and enter the big Temple (up the stairs). There is a ride at the back, the 3 Caballeros staring Donald Duck!
If you are hungry, there is a counter service restaurant right across the street from the temple.
--Check out my where to eat post if you want to know other places to eat!--
Walk over to Norway and get a Fast Pass to the boat ride, Maelstrom.
If you have kids, you can do the Agent P's World Showcase adventure where you go explore each country looking for clues!
Each country has a video about it. France has the best one! Find a place to eat if you didn't eat Mexican, and enjoy the bakeries :)
Go ride Maelstrom when you Fast Pass is due!
When you are done, go back to Mexico and pick a spot to sit facing the lake to watch the firework show Illuminations Reflections of Earth!
Day 3
Hollywood Studios:
Be there before the park opens!
Run to Toy Story Mania and grab a Fast Pass!
Look at the time sheet for Disney Junior Live, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Lights Motors Action Extreme Stunt Show, and Indiana Jones! You won't want to miss these shows! - If you don't have a child, then you can miss the Disney Jr show.
If you are all adults, then walk over to Tower or Terror and Rockin' Roller Coaster and Ride them! You can also do the Rider Switch with these if you have children!
Beauty and the Beast play is right there so if it is time for a show, go see it!
Walk to the back of the park toward the Sorcerer's Hat.
Time to go watch Voyage of the Little Mermaid!
Should be close to your Fast Pass time for Toy Story Midway Mania! Go ride it!
If it is lunch time, go eat at the Pizza Planet arcade! Don't waste time playing the games!
Go watch the 3D show the Muppets
Go ride the Backlot Tour! Warning: the ones who sit on the LEFT will get wet!!
If it is time, go watch the Lights! Motors! Action! Extreme Stunt Show!
If you don't get sick on rides, then go ride Star Tours!
Go watch Indiana Jones if it is time!
Go ride the Great Movie Ride! You'll be in the movies!
Go get some last minute autographs from characters as you head down Main Street toward the Tower of Terror - take a right after the Beauty and the Beast show toward the night time show Fantasmic! Get in line and pick a seat toward the middle to watch this awesome show! There is Fast Pass + available.
