What sample touring plans would you like to see?

[goofy4tink]

How about a plan for those of us who have been multiple times and want to take it easy, with sit down meals and drinks. anyway....let's see, 10 or so attractions for MK..
Main St. (but I would tend to leave that for when I leave around lunchtime on my early day MK visit)
Space Mt.
Splash Mt.
BTMRR

Pirates
Peter Pan
Dumbo
Winnie the Pooh

ToonTown
Buzz
Haunted Mansion


Now, for me...I would eliminate Jungle Cruise, and Buzz. I'm not a huge fan of TommowLand other than Space Mt and People Mover. Mayb Stitch will be okay.

Tom Sawyer's Island...not a biggie
TreeHouse....heard this one is going away, not a biggie
Tiki Birds..think we're one of the few families that has to do it!!
Aladdin...okay, but similar to Dumbo. Good for little ones.
Small World is a classic

Think I better stop. Thanks for the hard work as usual Len.

Another UG fan here!!
We are touring with my parents and our children (11, 13 & 16): how about a plan that allows seniors to take one route, then meet up with the rest of the family for stuff we'll all enjoy?
Love that UG!

The late start touring plan for all parks - As my husband keeps reminding me its his vacation too and he likes to sleep in a little!

Would also love to see a touring plan for the "off" season - where it takes into account the fact that the parks are closed early.

I AGREE!!! My dh wants to start by leaving hotel closer to time parks open - not to arrive 30 minutes before they open. We also like to go when park hours are shortened since we are looking for less crowded conditions.

we need to come up with some attractions to see. Let's start with around a dozen and see where that gets us. Be sure to cover the highlights of the park, and include kid-friendly attractions.

I'm assuming you're asking for 12 attractions we'd like to see covered on the plan so here's my list:
Jungle Cruise
Pirates of the Carribbean
Small World
Philharmonic
Buzz
Splash
Thunder mountain
Tiki birds
Haunted Mansion
Carousel
Space Mountain


Those are my family's must see attractions.

I second the off season touring plans as well. Also would like to see a touring plan for mnnshp.

I absolutely love the UG...my dh affectionately calls it my bible.

Hi folks,

Sorrt for the delay in responding. We've got a lot of attention from the Fox News piece that's been airing. Thanks for your patience with this.

Below is a first draft of a "highlights of the Magic Kingdom" tour that starts at 1 pm and covers the eleven attractions most-often mentioned in this thread. I've included a suggestion for both counter-service and sit-down restaurants.

The plan is appropriate for a summer afternoon of touring. It doesn't completely eliminate waits (Splash's wait is likely to be long), but makes the best use of FASTPASS possible while not sending your family all over the park. Please let me know what you think. And if anyone actually attempts this tour, please let me know how it works.

Sincerely,

Len Testa
