4 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 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
Arrive before the park opens! As soon as you can enter, take off jogging to the left to ride Kilimanjaro'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!
This park closes before the others, so if you didn't get to ride all of the rides in Magic Kingdom, drive over there and have fun! Since you already saw Wishes and the parade, you can be riding your favorite rides again! Ride Aladdin's Flying carpets and Space Mountain! The lines will be shorter because majority of people are seated in front of the castle watching the show!
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.
Day 4
EPCOT:
Walk over to Soarin' and get a Fast Pass! If the line is short, ride it too!
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).
Walk over to Mission Space and ride it or get a Fast Pass. Orange side is rough; Green is easy!
If it is lunch time, go eat at the Electric Umbrella or Sunshine Seasons!
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!
--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! They have the best Bakery, too!
Go ride Maelstrom when you Fast Pass is due!
Pick out a country you want to eat supper and go eat!
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!
I hope you have a magical time! Feel free to print this out for your trip!

Animal Kingdom - Rides, Shows, and more!
Animal Kingdom:
This theme park is based on awareness for animals! Festival of the Lion King show, Safari through the African savannah, It's Tough to be a Bug 3D show, and much, much, more!!
Attractions:
Kilimanjaro's Safari - go here FIRST THING in the morning. Animals are most active in the morning! Take a ride in an open bus and see elephants, lions, cheetahs, alligators, and many more animals! Make sure you have your camera ready!
Dinosaur - jerky and loud ride back in time to a specific dino. Make sure you have all your belongings packed in your bag and secure! My mom had her sunglasses on the top of her head on time and they flew right off! Luckily, the workers found them at the end of the day and they were okay!
Expedition Everest - Super fast roller coaster that will take you up and down Mount Everest to find the Yeti! Watch out for his claws! This ride is my favorite roller coaster Disney World has because of how long it is! -- And you go BACKWARDS and spiral down (sort of feels like you are upside down)! You will need a Fast Pass or hop in the singles line!
Kali River Rapids - Warning! You will get soaked! Take a river raft ride through some incredible rapids! You can wear a poncho, and I suggest that you do! I did ride it one time and I only got a drop of water on me, so my family forced me to ride it again so I got as soaked as they were. Oh and the dry seat is usually the one that gets even wetter the next time! You can't predict which seat is the driest one. It depends on the weight of everyone on the raft!
Affection Section - Ride the train to a petting zoo. DO NOT do this! Don't waste your time at a petting zoo! You can do that back at home (or in a city close to home). There is nothing special about it.
Primeval Whirl - In Dinoland, this ride spins as it travels up and down! Don't look down or you will get sick!
Shows:
It's Tough to be a Bug! - One of the best 3D shows! You put on your special bug-eyes glasses and become an honorary bug! Beware of bugs crawling between you and your seat ;) Oh! It does get a tad wet one of the bugs try to spray you!
Finding Nemo the Musical - Watch this live show based on the movie! It is an incredible performance and everyone enjoys it! Sit on the end of an isle so you can have some fish swim by you ;)
Festival of the Lion King - This is my ALL TIME favorite live show in Disney World! It is currently being moved to a new theater in Africa. It was in Camp Minnie-Mickey that is now being turned into Avatar-land! This show invites the animals from the movie to join in the celebration! There is romance, sing-along-songs, and acrobats! Every age enjoys this show! Children get to join in the fun and dance around with the performers!!
What's in the Future??
Avatarland is replacing Camp Minnie-Mickey! This is based on the movie where the military guy replaces his brother and becomes a blue person and enters the wild jungle. There will be a boat ride through that jungle, a walk way of it, and another ride to let you experience riding a Banshee (that flying animal)!
Festival of the Lion King is being moved to a new African theater.
They are going to start keeping the park open til after dark! They will have a night Kilimajaro's Safari ride and a night time firework show and parade! Kilimanjaro already has a night time safari but it is a special tour that you pay money to see. Now, it will be open with park admittance!
I predict there is more coming in 2014 & 2015 than they are letting on :)
