Park planning help needed!!

[Squishy15]

Hi there!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the in from everyone!! I'm looking for a little guidance for the best way to do each park. It's myself, my two boys who are 9 and 7, and my parents. My stepfather is almost 80. We want to ride all hot rides but I don't want to zig zag thru any park bc he's not very mobile. How do you suggest we select fast passes for each park and then rides that coincide so we can try to do a "big circle" as opposed to back and forth each day. We are doing MK with mickeys Halloween one day and again another night to catch parade and fireworks, Epcot and HS. Thanks so much!!

I will just copy the advise that I put on your identical thread on the community forum:

1. If you have an 80 year old in your party, explore the possibility of renting an ECV. It is not unusual to walk many miles each day in the parks. Not to mention all that time spent just standing in lines.

2. Look at the "cheat sheets" on easywdw.com. These provide an efficient touring plan for each park, along with suggestions for FP use.

3. While you are on easywdw, look at the crowd calendars to select the best park for each day.

Traveling with an 80 year old and 2 kids, I would try to FP+ any of the really long wait rides or the must dos for your kiddos then just pick a way to go and go around. I would just do what you can do in a relaxed manner. If you don't see everything it's something you can do next time. Would definitely get an ECV for stepdad unless he is very spry. Maybe your parents could use one and take turns. They will be able to take it through the line in a lot of rides.

At magic kingdom I find that most people head to thunder mountain or splash mountain IF not going to new fantasyland. So heading to tomorrow land might work... Anna and Elsa and mine train have changed so much I don't know if it's true. I like to eyeball these kind of decisions. Just see where masses are and go other way. Lol.

1. Yes, definitely. I wore a pedometer every day of our trip last month. On our slowest day, we walked 12 miles.

2. Yes.

3. And yes.
