Day 1
From choosing a Disney classic from our in-flight entertainment to creating the perfect playlist for your airport transfer, it’s easy to level up your journey to the Most Magical Place on Earth. If you’re staying in a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, once you’ve landed in Florida, you can use the Online Check-In service on the My Disney Experience app to save time at reception when you arrive. It’ll mean you can drop off your bags and head out to the Disney Parks straight away – win! Don’t worry if your flight comes in a little later – most hotels keep their pools open until 11pm. Quick dip before lights out, anyone? Speaking of, remember to unpack your comfy shoes and matching tees ready for your first day.
Day 2
Start your adventure at Magic Kingdom Park. If you’ve got tots in tow and you’re wondering where to go first, Dumbo the Flying Elephant is perfect for little ones. Thrill seekers in your party should head to TRON Lightcycle / Run – it’s one of the fastest attractions across any Disney Park on the planet! Beyond the coasters, we’d recommend catching the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade along Main Street, USA, in the afternoon, before posting your first Insta story of the trip – you know the one with the iconic Cinderella Castle as a backdrop. If tiredness – AKA jetlag – starts to kick in, unwind in the evening with a Movies Under the Stars screening at your Disney Resorts Collection hotel.
Day 3
On your third day, ramp things up at EPCOT with an intergalactic chase on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Afterwards, younger ones in your clan can scurry through Gusteau’s kitchen on Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, dive into World Showcase – it’s home to 11 pavilions dishing up epic eats from around the world. Our foodie pick? The cheese-filled empanadas, topped with sour cream, salsa and queso fresco – that’s more cheese – served at La Cantina de San Angel in the Mexican pavilion. Hang around until 9pm and you’ll see the nighttime spectacular – Luminous The Symphony of Us – light up the sky to a mix of top Disney hits.
Day 4
It’s time for a mid-week break to cool off at one of Disney’s Water Parks*. Craving thrills? Head to Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park for high-speed slides like Summit Plummet and Slush Gusher. If you fancy something more laidback, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park is packed with family faves, like the winding Castaway Creek lazy river and the giant Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool – get ready for the signature WHOOSH when the wave hits! After splashing around, make tracks for Magic Kingdom Park in the evening to catch the nighttime parade Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, before watching iconic Disney stories come to life in the firework extravaganza Happily Ever After. Trust us, you won’t want to miss them.
Day 5
Get ready for a star-studded day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. If you’re staying in a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you’ll bag Early Theme Park Entry – that's a 30-minute head start to tick off rides and attractions before the park opens its doors to everybody else. Head straight for Slinky Dog Dash in Toy Story Land before stepping into another galaxy on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Afterwards, hear Cruella de Vil and other villains share their side of the story in the live show Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After – the Magic Mirror’s counting on you to choose which one’s been treated the most unfairly of them all. Later, pull up at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater restaurant and tuck in to tasty dishes served in a retro car, under a dreamy, star-filled sky. This ‘50s-style spot can be booked as part of the Fantasmic! dining package – meaning you’ll get VIP seats to see Mickey Mouse and some famous faces from the movies go head-to-head in an ultimate battle of good and evil. Now, that’s a blockbuster day.
Day 6
The best way to start your day at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park? Breakfast at Tusker House. Here, you’ll feast on an African-inspired buffet while Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and friends make the rounds in their safari gear. Once you’ve fuelled up, head straight for Pandora – The World of Avatar to soar through the air on the back of a mountain banshee on Avatar Flight of Passage. Then, join Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde and the whole gang as they take you on a family-friendly adventure on Zootopia: Better Zoogether! Afterwards, catch one – or two – of the park's iconic shows, the Festival Of The Lion King and Finding Nemo: The Big Blue...and Beyond. You’ve got plenty of options once the sun sets. Return to Pandora to stroll along bioluminescent walkways or make your way to Disney Springs – it’s the best place to secure those holiday buys with lots more tasty restaurants, too.
Day 7
Whether it’s your final day or the half-way mark, a chilled-out morning by the pool is calling your name. If you've got time before your flight, dash back to your favourite park for one last ride – maybe a wild spin on Space Mountain in Magic Kingdom Park or a zany cartoon adventure on Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? If you’ve got an extra week, swap the park maps for resort life for the day – claim a poolside lounger, soak up the sun and reset for another fun-filled week ahead.
Week two
This week’s all about the headliners you haven’t ticked off – so, where to start? Saddle up in the Wild West on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom Park, return to EPCOT to fly over global icons on Soarin’ Around the World. Then, head back to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to test your nerve inside the elevator shaft of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ – brace yourself for the drops. Afterwards, check out The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure – this 20-minute live show includes iconic hits from the animated classic, like ‘Part of Your World’ and ‘Under the Sea’. For standout sips and sweet treats, Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge® serves up out-of-this-world cocktails, while Hollywood Scoops dishes out a Mickey brownie sundae worth writing home about – it's homemade gooey brownies, old-school vanilla ice-cream, topped with hot fudge, whipped cream and adorable Mickey-shaped sprinkles. Consider it the cherry on top.
