This Walt Disney World itinerary is designed for the three weeks following Thanksgiving.
Update 5/12/2015: Hey, you need to swap Wednesday and Thursday in this itinerary and its associated To-Do List!

If you aren’t going one of those weeks, see Other Itineraries for alternatives the rest of the year, which are published about six months ahead.

As with the other itineraries on this site, there is also a detailed page for each day of your vacation, with specific instructions for that day. Find them here:
Moreover, a detailed To-Do List covers all the steps you need to undertake–including reserving dining and booking FastPass+.
ITINERARY DESIGN GOALS
The basic itinerary was designed to meet several goals: to ensure that you
- See the best that Walt Disney World has to offer
- See the parks in the order that works best for kids (essentially Epcot first, as it is potentially the most disappointing, and the Magic Kingdom last, as it is likely to be the best loved)
- Avoid unnecessary waiting, by using FastPass+ and other tactics…
- Have as much time off, and as few early mornings, as practical
- Avoid unnecessary spending–for example, the basic itinerary does not require you to buy the “Park Hopper” option, saving you more than $200
If you can’t do the Basic Itinerary, see Other Itineraries for alternatives for both the December week and the rest of the year.

Allison, it doesn’t adjust well as it is tied to days–“Monday” means “Monday, not “Day 3.”
On 11/30, avoid MK
12/1 avoid Epcot
12/2 avoid AK and MK
12/3 avoid Epcot
12/4 avoid AK

Hi Dave
I think that the December schedule has been released. We are planning on arriving on 11/30 & will leave on 12/8, With kids age 8 & (turning) 7.
I have tickets to the Xmas party on 12/1 & we would like to do the Candlelight processional.
Could you please make recommendations for arranging park days & how to adjust your itinerary based in our Monday arrival day. I’m planning on a 7 day park pass. I will add another day when we are there if needed.
Thanks.
Allison
Tammy, for most off-site hotels the shuttles start too late, end too early, and run too infrequently. Once you are on site, you can then use any Disney transportation.
