MAGIC KINGDOM DAY 1: TUESDAY AGENDA

Today you start your visit to the Magic Kingdom, seeing a bit of Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and then touring some lower-wait attractions in Adventureland and Frontierland. You divide your Magic Kingdom visit with brunch at Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary Resort near the Magic Kingdom, and end your day at Fort Wilderness’s Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue.

You should have FastPass+ for Space Mountain, the Tomorrowland Speedway, and the Jungle Cruise. The other fixed points in your schedule are Chef Mickey’s and Hoop-Dee-Doo.

(Note: this is from the Disney World Extra Extra Magic Hours Itinerary. As noted at the link, it works only during certain 2019 dates and only for folk who are Extra Magic Hours eligible.)

AT THE PARK

• Be at the park by 6.30a
• At open, head to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and ride it
• Then go to Tomorrowland and see Buzz Lightyear
• Ride Astro-Orbiter
• See Space Mountain (FP+)
• Ride the Tomorrowland PeopleMover
• Ride the Tomorrowland Speedway (FP+)
• Go to Adventureland and if you can fit the Swiss Family Treehouse and the Enchanted Tiki Room around your FastPass+ for the Jungle Cruise. If time is pressing, see one or both of these after Chef Mickey’s
• Exit the park about 10.30 and either walk or take the resort monorail to the Contemporary Resort. Eat at Chef Mickey’s
• Return to the park, head into Tomorrowland, and see the Carousel of Progress and Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor. Then see anything in Adventureland you missed this morning
• Head back to your hotel, and inquire as to the best way to get to Fort Wilderness in the evening for Hoop Dee Doo–this will likely be heading to Magic Kingdom and from there taking a boat to Fort Wilderness

HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS DAY 2: WEDNESDAY AGENDA

Today you return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to complete the visit you began Monday.  The following starts in the early afternoon. However, you have the option of getting up really early again and heading back to Extra Magic Hours for more Galaxy’s Edge (or re-rides, or rides you missed on Day 1).

Pre-book FastPass+ for Slinky Dog Dash (2-3p if you do not plan to pre-book Savi’s Workshop, Oga’s Cantina, and/or the Droid Factory; 12-1p if you do have plan to see them) and for the shows Beauty and the Beast and Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. Ideally, you will pick both the times and the order of the two shows so that you tap in for the second show as early in the afternoon as possible, so check both shows before booking either.

You should have FastPass+ for Slinky Dog Dash, Beauty and the Beast, and Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular.  You may also have bre-booked (or be able to pre-book first thing in the morning) building a lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop, seeing Oga’s Cantina, and building a droid at the Droid Factory.

AT THE PARK

Because of uncertainties about final show schedules, the schedule today is a little less structured. Use you Times Guide to set your final sequence.

In addition to Slinky Dog Dash, Beauty and the Beast and Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular that you’ve already scheduled as FastPass+, you want to see today:

• Toy Story Mania (if you did not see it yesterday) See it via a fourth FastPass+, or late in the evening.
• Walt Disney Presents
• Star Wars Launch Bay
• March of the First Order
• Disney Junior Dance Party (if you have fans in your group)
• Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy
• Fantasmic (check for FastPass+; if not available, get in line at least 60 minutes before the show starts—most nights it starts at 8 or 8.30p)
• Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular (be in front of the Chinese Theater at least 45 minutes before the show starts—most nights it starts at 10p)
• (Optional) Building a lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop
• (Optional) Oga’s Cantina
