OVERVIEW

This Walt Disney World itinerary, revised in September 2009 (click here for a PDF of the obsolete itinerary), is designed for a specific December week–although it works just fine the weeks immediately before and after that week.

You can review the basic itinerary by clicking on the thumbnail; to enlarge it, when it’s open, click it again a couple of times.

This chart (click thumbnail to open; when open, click one or two times again to enlarge) groups all rides at Walt Disney World based on two points of view:

• Vertically from the eyes of pre-school kids: best loved, to be avoided, or neither;
• Horizontally from the eyes of kids in the third grade or older, and their parents: skippable, favorites, or neither.

Groupings are based on ratings by age from a number of sources, on height restrictions, and on “scariness.”
