Magic Kingdom
· If you go to Magic Kingdom upon park opening, try to go straight to Peter Pan and get a fast pass. After you get the fast pass, check out Mickey’s Philharmagic 3D show. After the 3D show, try to ride Winnie the Pooh. After that, it should be time to return to Peter Pan.
· When you make your way over to Future World, fast pass Space Mountain, and go check out Time Keeper and Carousel of Progress. Before you return to Space Mountain, check the fast pass for the time of the next available fast pass. Fast Pass Buzz Lightyear (if there is a long line) and Transit Authority while you wait for Buzz.
· Fast Pass the Haunted Mansion. In the mean time, try to catch Pirates of the Caribbean.
· If you can, eat a late (2:00) or early (10:45-11:00) lunch in order to catch some rides while everyone else eats.
· If there is a long line at both Thunder Mountain, and Splash Mountain, Fast Pass Thunder Mountain while you wait in line at Splash Mountain. The Splash Mountain line moves a lot faster than Thunder Mountain.
· Try to catch the daytime parade. If not, get on some rides, the lines are less packed, but try not to miss the nighttime parade (Spectromagic).
· Try not to miss the fireworks show in front of the castle, but don’t get too close to the castle, you won’t be able to see. Try to get a table outside of Casey’s Corner about 45minutes before the fireworks.
EPCOT
· Fast pass Test Track, wait for Mission Space. The Test Track line moves pretty slowly.
· Try not to get in line for Spaceship Earth (the ball) if the sign indicates a wait in excess of 10 minutes.
· In Wonders of Life, try not to miss Cranium Command. It’s pretty cool.
· If you are going to ride Listen to the Land, Fast Pass it if the line is over 20 minutes. If you do get a Fast Pass for it, make your way over to the Living Seas. By the time you are done with Living Seas, it should be time for The Land. If you still have time to kill, check out Journey into Imagination.
· Honey I Shrunk the Audience plays by continuous show times all day. No choice but to wait for it.
· All of the countries in Epcot are movies except for: Mexico, Norway, and USA. At Norway, it is a boat ride with a movie afterwards, but you can exit the theater at will.
· There is a pretty cool fountain show behind the ball.
MGM STUDIOS
· Fast pass Tower of Terror, go ride Aerosmith. Or Vice Versa
· Fast Pass Star Tours and check out the Muppets 3D show.
· If you plan on seeing Indiana Jones, check out the show times. If you plan on riding the Great Movie Ride, try not to wait more than 15-20 minutes.
· Try not to miss One Man’s Dream, an exhibit and short film on Walt Disney.
· If you plan on seeing Fantasmic, which I highly recommend (one of the absolute best), get there about 45minutes to 1 hour before show time to ensure seating. But there is an alternative. Disney offers a Dinner and a Show package. Basically, you have dinner at one of three restaurants in the park, and you get priority seating for Fantasmic. If you choose to do the Dinner and a Show, I recommend eating at Hollywood and Vine. It is a buffet. The other two restaurants on the list can be pricey. If that is something that interests you, you need to make reservations upon entering the park. You can do that at a building (I can’t remember the name) directly to your left as you enter the park.
ANIMAL KINGDOM
· First thing in the morning, go ride the Safari. Try to sit on the left of the vehicle. If you enjoy the attraction, fast pass it right after you exit the ride.
· When you go to ride Dinosaur, Fast Pass it if the wait is over 15 min.
· I cannot offer too much info on the water raft ride because it is too cold for us to ride it when we go, but if the line is long, fast pass it, and walk through the Asian animal exhibit. They have some pretty cool stuff in there.
· If the times work out, you may want to Fast Pass Bug’s life, and possibly check out the Festival of the Lion King while you wait. I am not the biggest fan of live stage shows, but that one is pretty awesome.
MISCELLANEOUS
· When you go to Downtown Disney, check out Rainforest Café. You can get some pretty good stuff on sale.
