Saturday: Seven Night Walt Disney World Summer Itinerary

By Dave Shute

Itineraries for the Rest of the Year Basic December Itinerary

Summary To-Do List Sun Mon Tues Weds Thurs Fri Sat Sun

SATURDAY AGENDA

Today is the second of your visits to the Magic Kingdom! You will be there in the morning, off in the afternoon, and back in the evening.

You need to be at your bus stop (Pop) by 7:20, or at the Resort Monorail Stop (Polynesian) by 7:40.

Your goal this morning is to see the rides in Tomorrowland, and finish the morning off with play on Tom Sawyer’s Island. You then have the afternoon off to nap and swim. When you return tonight, you will be able to revisit some favorite rides, see the evening parade and fireworks, and, if you are still awake, finish your evening on Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain. If you can’t stay up, you’ll see these first thing tomorrow!

FIRST THINGS

Get up early and have breakfast in your room
Pop Century Guests: Be at your hotels’ bus stop by 7:20 am, and catch the bus to the Magic Kingdom
Polynesian Guests: be at the Resort Monorail Stop (reached from the second floor of the Great Ceremonial House) by 7:40

AT THE PARK: MORNING

Be at the park by 8:00
At the 9a open, make your way to Space Mountain, and ride. Fastpass for a second ride if you wish
Find Buzz Lightyear and ride it
At this point, you can either finish up Tomorrowland right now, or quickly go to Fantasyland to re-ride a favorite from yesterday before the lines get too long. If you do, come back immediately after and finish Tomorrowland
Have lunch at Pecos Bills (counter credit), between Adventureland and Splash Mountain (take the train from Fantasyland to Frontierland if you did not get to ride it yet)
Take the raft to Tom Sawyer Island and tour it
You are about to leave, so consider fastpassing any ride you might want to do this evening that has fastpass return times at 5p or later
Return to your hotel and nap, swim, and begin to pack up. Polynesian guests take the “Express” or TTC monorail and walk back to Poly from the TTC. Pop guests take a lap on the resort monorail first–asking the guards if you can ride in front–and then return to your hotel from the Magic Kingdom bus station

AT THE PARK: EVENING

Be back at the Magic Kingdom by 6p
The evening has a number of scheduled items, and otherwise is make up and re-ride time. See anything you weren’t able to do in the instructions so far, or re-ride favorites, while keeping your scheduled events (7:30 dinner, 9p parade, 10p Fireworks) in mind
At some point grab a Dole whip at Aloha Isle in Adventureland
Make your 7:30p character meal at the Crystal Palace (table credit)
See the 9p evening parade
See the 10p fireworks from as close to the front of the Castle as you can get
If you have the energy, return to Frontierland and see Big Thunder Mountain and then Splash Mountain. These two rides are at their best at night! Otherwise you will see them first thing tomorrow morning
Head back to your hotel

Note: Bring The Comprehensive Guide to Rides and Rides that Might be Skipped in case your day gets to be too intense!
