When to Go Itineraries for the Rest of the Year Basic December Itinerary
This page presents alternative itineraries for trips during the recommended weeks in December. See this page for alternatives for the rest of the year beyond the recommended December week.
DECEMBER WEEK ALTERNATIVES
The first four are shorter than the Basic Itinerary (the first two, one night; the third, two nights, the fourth, three nights); none of these four is recommended, as they make your vacation too much of a sprint, and present increasing risks that your family will miss some of the best of Walt Disney World.
The last alternative is is one day longer, and will be a more relaxing trip than the basic itinerary for those who can afford the money and the time.

We are flying from the west coast and arrive on Friday evening the 16th and depart on Friday the 23rd. How would you suggest we alter the basic itinerary. We’re pretty flexible 2 adults and one almost 9 year old boy. Staying outside the park at the Hilton Parc Soleil.
Hi Suzy!
Your visit works against most of the assumptions in the basic itinerary–which assumes 8 nights, Sat-Sun, and staying at a WDW resort. Because of that, it’ll take me an hour or so to come up with something for you–but unfortunately I’m facilitating a board retreat this weekend and won’t be able to get to it til next week.
