Basic Itinerary: 5 Nights/6 Days Version

OVERVIEW

This incredibly difficult itinerary (click to open; when open, click again to enlarge) and its associated To-Do List are for the basic December weeks, but three days shorter, skipping the first and second Saturdays and second Sunday.

It provides–just barely–enough time in the parks by

  • Taking out almost all of your off and down time
  • Accepting the risk that you won’t see everything–and especially all the pavilions in the World Showcase–at Epcot, which is typically the least favorite park for kids
  • Assuming that everything goes just right at the Magic Kingdom

The entries below provide daily guidance and your To-Do List.

I can’t get this itinerary to enlarge when I click on it. All the other ones work, except this one! And it’s really hard to read so small! :)

Hi Sarah! It doesn’t get bigger because unlike the rest I never re-wrote it in 15 point type…I’ll get to that, but not right away…

You can try enlarging your browser magnification, or I can email you a version of it in powerpoint that’s blown up…or you can save the image, copy it to ppt, and blow it up yourself…

Sorry, and I’ll fix it soon…

Dave
