A sample Disney World itinerary

Imagine a six-day, five-night Disney World trip with a three-year-old and a six-year-old: three park days, one character breakfast, and an afternoon rest most days. This illustrative itinerary shows how those pieces can fit together. It isn't a client trip, a live quote, or a set of confirmed reservations.

DayMorningLaterWhy this works
ArrivalTravel, check in, and unpack the things you'll need for bedtimeDinner at your resort and a quiet eveningKeep arrival day free of prepaid park plans and hard-to-move dining reservations.
Magic KingdomChoose two Fantasyland priorities, such as Dumbo and it's a small world, subject to operation and your children's interestsEat lunch near your route, then head back for a nap or quiet time; make an evening return optionalWork backward from your child's usual rest time and allow for the trip out of the park, waiting, and transport.
Resort and character breakfastA Chef Mickey's breakfast, if a suitable reservation is availableBack to your resort for a nap, pool time, or a slow afternoonThe character meal is the main event. If it isn't available, have breakfast at your resort and keep the rest day.
EPCOTExplore The Seas with Nemo & Friends and choose one more priority, such as Living with the LandLunch, a rest break, and only the World Showcase stops the family still wantsKeep the day flexible and check attraction operation. A few favorite experiences are enough.
Animal KingdomMake Kilimanjaro Safaris or a favorite animal trail your starting pointChoose a Festival of the Lion King show if the schedule fits, eat lunch, and finish early when neededCheck the day's show and attraction hours. Leave time to stop when an animal catches your child's attention.
DepartureBreakfast, packing, and one last check for favorite toysCheckout and the airport journeyLeave the final morning open so travel doesn't become a race.
