Category — i. Itineraries for Walt Disney World

(Note: this is from the Disney World Bluey-Aware Multi Pass Itinerary.)

OFF DAY: FRIDAY AGENDA

You are off today, except for dinner.

You should have dining booked for the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue Dinner show in Fort Wilderness at 6.15p. For this, you want to be at the Magic Kingdom dock for the Fort Wilderness boat by 5p.

After relaxing the morning and early afternoon, use Disney transportation to get to Magic Kingdom, but instead of entering the park, find the Fort Wilderness boat dock.

The boats from Magic Kingdom to Fort Wilderenss take about 20 minutes; you may have to wait for them; and Disney wants you to check in 30 minutes before the show.  So be at the boat docks by 5p.

Take the boat to Fort Wilderness, NOT the Wilderness Lodge, which is a different resort.  Some boats go to both–check with the cast member on the boat to make sure you are on the right boat, and where to get off.

Once you arrive at the Fort Wilderness dock, ask a cast member where to go to get to Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue–it’s in Pioneer Hall, a short walk away. Most leaving the boat will head in that general direction.

Reverse your journey to get back to your hotel.

PREVIEW OF TOMORROW

You will complete your visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with an early start.

DISNEY’S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS DAY 2: SECOND SATURDAY AGENDA

Today you will complete your visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

You will take advantage of Early Entry, and also need to have prebooked some Lighting Lane Multi Pass:

• Lightning Lane Multi Pass Tier 1 for Slinky Dog Dash at 9a, and Tier 2 LLMP for Toy Story Mania at 10a and for the nearest to noon show of the Indian Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular

You have no scheduled dining today. Before the new Walt Disney Studios area opens in summer 2026 (or if it’s open and you skip it), you likely will complete the park in the mid-afternoon, allowing naps and pool time back at the hotel.

AT THE PARK

Arrive at the tapstiles at Disney’s Hollywood Studios no later than 45 minutes before Early Entry begins (for example, if the general public opening is 9a, this will mean a 7.45a arrival for an 8.30a Early Entry).

When you are let in for Early Entry, immediately head to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and ride it.

Then leave Galaxy’s Edge and ride Star Tours.

Then backtrack to Toy Story Land and use your 9a Lighting Lane Multi Pass on Slinky Dog Dash.

See the other attractions in Toy Story Land—Alien Swirling Saucers, then Toy Story Mania, using your 10a Lighting Lane Multi Pass.

Move to Mickey Avenue and see Walt Disney Presents.

See the ~noon presentation of the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular Show.

Have lunch. Given where you are, either Backlot Express or Docking Bay 7 would be good choices.

Make your way to Sunset Boulevard and see the 2p show of Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage.

See the show at Mickey Shorts Theater.

The rest of your day is free–unless the new Walt Disney Studios area is open, and you wish to explore it. Expected to open in “summer 2026,” it will include

• The Animation Academy, where you can draw a Disney character under the guidance of a recorded Disney animation expert
• A theater showing Once Upon a Studio, the landmark 2023 nine minute animation-focused film celebrating the Walt Disney Company’s centennial
• Off the Page–an innovative approach to character meet and greets in the context of learning the basics of the art of animation
• A new playground called Drawn to Wonderland, and nearby,
• A new version of the Disney Jr. show, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live

While most of this is designed to enthrall younger folk, I expect almost everything except for the Disney Jr. show to have substantive all-ages appeal. I’ll have more to say on this after they’ve opened and I’ve seen them, but for now, I’ve listed them above in the order of what I expect to be most all-ages appeal to most pre-school focused.

PREVIEW OF TOMORROW

You will have an early start as you complete your visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
