Update October 2015: For travel in 2016, I’ve published a revised itinerary for the lower crowd weeks in January through May that works better than this itinerary. The new itinerary is here.
Below is my FastPass+ based Disney World itinerary for lower crowd weeks.
It does not work all dates, and some dates that it mostly works it needs some little adjustments. Check your week here.

The recommended FastPass+ that make it work are in the To-Do List, so you can book them at the 60 day window for FastPass+ sign-ups. Daily agendas are in the links:
Thanks are especially due to Josh from easyWDW. With his permission, I picked the targeted park days based on both my own practices and his daily park recommendations.

Hi Dave, great site, I have been digesting all of it over the past several weeks! We have a 4 yr old (girl) and will be arriving on Sunday Sept 20 and leaving Friday Sept 25. We have four days of park passes and thought of visiting them M-T-W-Th. We figured on days at MK, 1 day at AK, and one day at either Epcott (leaning toward this) or HS. I was looking for the magic hours calendar but couldn’t find it. Can you recommend which days we should hit each park? Thank you!
Josh, can’t advise on which parks which days until Disney releases its calendar for October, which will be a couple of weeks–ping me back then.
I don’t have on this site any itineraries that short for kids that young. With kids that age, 2-3 days at MK, and a half day at the other three parks, will be more than enough.
You can find plans for each park in Chapter 6 of my book The easy Guide to Your First Walt Disney World Visit 2015
Dave, we are planning a trip to WDW October 10 arrival at night and leaving the 16th at night. We have four kids ages 5,5,4,3 and two grandparents. We will be staying offsite at a Whyndam resort. I have so many questions I don’t know where to begin! How would you suggest handling which parks to visit which days? What kind of iteneray would you suggest? Keeping in mind I’m working on a teacher’s salary????
Rick, EMH days are usually much more crowded than non-EMH days (except during the EMH period itself) so while you have longer operating hours you also face longer waits.
Those dates,
3/1 Avoid HS and MK
3/2 Avoid AK and MK
3/3 Avoid Epcot
3/4 Avoid AK
3/5 Avoid MK
3/6 Avoid Epcot
3/7 Avoid HS and MK
Universal typically is less busy Sat-Mon and busiest Weds-Fri, so you might want to move it to earlier in your visit.
