Perfect day at WDW

[Cash_UK]

OK people, not sure if this is the most suitable sub category but how would u spend the most perfect day? I'll post mine shortly, thanks.

I would be staying at PO Riverside, get the bus to MK in time to see the opening performance, browse the Emporium before doing a few favourites (People Mover, Buzz Light year, Space Mountain, Peter Pan, Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain , and Hall Of Presidents). My lunch would be at Cosmic Rays at some point. Afternoon/evening at Epcot World Showcase, Cinnamon Pretzel before heading back to Riverside for Dinner. Late night swim before heading in for the night.

It's gotta be a day at MK, low crowds, mild temps. Arrive for Welcome Show, then work my way clockwise starting in Adventureland. I'd have Skipper Alex on the JC, not get wet on POTC, sit on the left side of Splash so my seatmate can block the spray from the waterfall we will be stopped in front of, but we'll dry off on BTTMR. After that I get to ride HM as much as I want without getting off (unrealistic). I'd have lunch at Columbia Harbor House or Pecos Bill's. FP's for Peter Pan & Mine Train. Stop off for an afternoon Lafou's Brew, then Tomorrowland & FP Space Mountain. Then back over to Frontierland for FoF. Then I just ride whatever until dinner at BOG (West Wing). Setup to watch MSEP (front of the castle near Liberty Square bridge), CTM, Wishes (further back on the Hub near Casey's). Then there would be late hours and EMH for the duration, where I will wear out Space Mountain, BTTMR, and close with the Haunted Mansion. I'll head out when I see that Good Night Kiss!

Perfect day? 80 degree temp, scattered cloud for an occasional break from the sun. Hit a non-EMH park right at RD, do a few major rides as walk-ons then on to the FP+ rides. Hop to WS around 1 PM, visit the 'attraction' shown below then tour the countries. Pool break around 4, snack on the balcony in our BW room, drinks on the deck at the Belle Vue Lounge, maybe a stop in the ESPN Club, back to WS, we're there during Food&Wine so some more 'Grazing Around the World', catch the acts on BW then Illuminations. Next day wash, rinse, repeat.

PSUGuy pretty much has it. It starts at an Epcot resort. (The BWI is our favorite too.) Up early for rope drop at your favorite park. Back to the resort for an afternoon nap. A slow walk over to the World Showcase for a leisurely evening meal at the restaurant that attracts you in the moment. End the evening watching Illuminations from the bridge between England and France. Then a leisurely walk back to the Boardwalk.

I'll add a couple things that we often schedule for our high school groups, plus a bit of imagination, combined for the best day ever...

Arrive at DHS at 7:30, buffet breakfast set up for just my party at Backlot Express. Fresh fruit, eggs, sausage, danish, muffins. After breakfast, we are escorted to Toy Story Midway Mania, where we have a chance to ride before the crowd, then hurry around to get in line again as the masses arrive.

After that I'd pick my favorites at DHS, including my sheepish addiction to the Frozen Singalong. I have to be sure to catch the Citizens of Hollywood as they entertain the crowd. And since we are dreaming, I can imagine they brought back Mulch, Sweat, and Shears for an early afternoon performance!

Then I'd walk to the Boardwalk Bakery for a lunch of either the chicken apple salad or a lobster roll, enjoyed at a waterside table.

After lunch, I'd continue to Epcot, and I'll imagine that the Soarin' refurb is complete, with shorter lines and an amazing new movie capturing sights and smells from around the world!

Relaxed exploring for the afternoon, including lots of chats with WS CMs. Again, since we are imagining here, I will listen to Off Kilter and Mo Rockin', plus the Fife and Drum Corps and Voices of Liberty.

Dinner is a lovely buffet set on the waterside patio below the bridge between France and the UK, and we shall remain there for a relaxed viewing of Illuminations, seated at our tables as it seems to surround us with music and light.

Can't wait to go back with my groups this spring! (Now if Disney will just bring back the live music...I won't hold my breath...)

Rope drop at MK on a morning EMH day. Mosey on over to BTMRR, where we ride three times in a row without getting off. Then down to the unrefurbished POTC, to continue our stay-dry morning.

WD's Enchanted Tiki Room, two spins on Aladdin, and a Dole Whip for two. Jungle Cruise, Swiss Family Tree House, and a quick waffle to share at Sleepy Hollow before heading up to Haunted Mansion.

IASW, and our first FP of the day: Peter Pan. Second FP is next, 7DMT. A quick visit to Ariel's Grotto before a yummy lunch at BOG.

The afternoon is for strolling over to Tomorrowland, with a stop near Merida's M&G for a picture with the castle in the background (snapped just as some Dream Along with Mickey fireworks go off, for a little extra dazzle, even in the sunshine).

Stitch (yes, Stitch has a place in our favorite day), Laugh Floor to see who's gonna be That Guy, and People Mover. COP, before our destination, the only way to ever end a day at MK: Space Mountain (FP #3, if you're keeping track).

A little shopping back on Main St, with a Minute Maid frozen strawberry lemonade or Mickey ice cream bar in hand. Maybe get a balloon to to keep us company on our way "home" to ... hmmm, AoA? Yes, a Cars suite at AoA. An easy dip in the Cozy Cone Pool before a Make Your Own Pasta/Salad/or Burger. A Mickey Ganache, and I'm set to play Uno back poolside (with Disney Uno cards from the Ink and Paint Shop, of course)!

The only thing I would magically creat is a way to have two early mornings on the same day, where we preserve this RD at MK but also somehow have the first reservation for breakfast at Ohana with ... Stitch! Yes, we have a Stitch-crazy DD, which just makes it all the more special.

This perfect day would really be just a composite of so many past memories, made new again!

I would stay at Wilderness Lodge. I would wake up and have a breakfast flatbread out by the pool before taking a boat to Magic Kingdom in time to see the RD show. I would head to Frontierland first and hit both mountains there, Adventureland for Pirates and Jungle Cruise, and then Haunted Mansion and Small World. I'd have lunch at Columbia Harbor House at a table upstairs by a window. I'd have a FP+ for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Peter Pan's Flight, and Space Mountain for early afternoon and do those right after lunch with Philharmagic, Peoplemover, Carousel of Progress, and Barnstormer fit in between them.

From there, I'd take a monorail to the TTC and switch to the Epcot monorail. Odd, I know, because I wouldn't stay at Epcot. I love that monorail, though, and I'd go into Epcot just to go to IG so I could take a boat to DHS. Once at DHS, I'd enjoy Tower of Terror, RNRC, GMR, and Star Tours, have dinner at Sci Fi, go through One Man's Dream, and see Fantasmic. Once back at Wilderness Lodge, I'd head to my room where I would have a lovely view of the Electrical Water Pageant from my balcony which I would watch with my husband while enjoying a glass of wine.

Perfect day.
Low crowds, but enough to make it feel festive and fun.
High sixties, sun with some clouds.

Start the day with Tonga Toast...never had it....DYING to try it.
I'd see the Trolley Show on the way in.
I'd stroll down Main Street, maybe catch a castle show
I'd ride the three mountains. Plus maybe Buzz, the People Mover, Carousel of Progress.
I'd have a Dole Whip.
I'd see the Dapper Dans on the way out.

I'd leave MK and head to HS where I would ride Tower of Terror, RnR, and Great Movie Ride. Have lunch there at Prime Time.

End the day by returning to MK to ride Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Mine Train after dark, dinner at BOG and then watch a parade (to digest the meal) followed by riding Big Thunder during the fireworks.
Stay for the Kiss Goodnight.

Sleep peacefully at my monorail resort (doesn't matter which one).
