This itinerary is a variant of the standard eight night Autumn-Winter-Spring itinerary, but two days shorter, and with a Sunday arrival. See this for a seven night variant, with a Saturday arrival, and this for a seven night Sunday arrival.

It’s 2 days shorter from eliminating much of your time off, and the last day visit to the Gospel Brunch in Downtown Disney. (See How Long to Stay for more on why eight nights is better than six…)
It can be used as is for any week that the standard Autumn-Winter-Spring itinerary works EXCEPT for the Autumn-Winter-Spring weeks in May 2010. For those May weeks, flip Wednesday and Thursday.
See this page for weeks that itinerary can be used. If the week is labeled Autumn-Winter-Spring, you can use this 6 night itinerary.
OTHER ARRIVAL DAYS
This itinerary can be adapted to any arrival date except for Saturday, or late afternoon/evening arrivals on Friday, as you need to be at Epcot Friday night, and late Friday arrival gets in the way of that…and a Saturday arrival means a Friday departure.
If your days include only Saturday evening, and not Sunday evening, then use the Sunday evening part of this itinerary for Saturday night–that way you will see the evening parade and fireworks at the Magic Kingdom. If your trip includes both, then go to the Magic Kingdom Sunday night for the parade and fireworks.
If your arrival date is Tuesday through Friday, then this itinerary is certain to work only if this site shows that both the week of your arrival and the week of your departure work for the Autumn-Winter-Spring itinerary.

Hi David, why do you encourage arrival on Saturdays? Not just on this itinerary but throughout the site?
Hey Justin–some of the shorter itineraries do have arrival dates other than Saturday–e.g. this one: https://yourfirstvisit.net/2009/11/06/seven-night-walt-disney-world-autumn-winter-spring-itinerary-v2/
In general, though, you are dead on, and the Saturday arrival comes from the site being an “instruction manual” for first time visitors who may never return. For them, I “instruct” 8 nights on site–see this: https://yourfirstvisit.net/planning-your-first-family-trip/how-long-to-stay/ –and 8 nights fits best for most families as a Saturday-Sunday trip…

Hi! Another thing about arriving on a Saturday is that it tends to be very busy, so if you are missing some part of the park day, why not on the busiest of days? It leaves you with the rest of the week to take advantage of the early park hours!
Great point, Patti!
