Sample Disney Itinerary

This is a sample Disney itinerary for a multi-generational family. Itineraries can be as detailed (or not) as you wish. This is a middle of the road itinerary leaving choices for eating establishments and time to spend near the pool, relaxing or participating in other activities. Bistro reviews and specific menu item recommendations are ready as well as in-park touring plans.

Party of 6:

Paris Travel Card

Notes:

This family elected to use the Disney transportation system. Disney collects your baggage (you mark it with special tags before you leave home) and delivers it to your room at your hotel. Taking a bag with necessities is prominent because you may not get into your room until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. In addition, vouchers for the bus from the airport to the hotel will be sent prior to leaving home (about 2 weeks before).

This family also placed a grocery order and the food was delivered when they arrived to their room.

Walt Disney World secret Fun Facts

Keep these microscopic tidbits in mind while you are creating your own magic at Walt Disney World.

- When you ride the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, look for a photo on the left side showing Mr. Toad giving Owl the deed to the attraction.

Paris Travel Card

- You'll ride one of five dissimilar limos on Rock 'n Roller Coaster. Each one plays a dissimilar series of songs by Aerosmith.

- The rails on Big Thunder Mountain are the slickest in the late afternoon, when the grease on the rails is the hottest.

- Aim at the arm on the big orange robot in Buzz Lighter.

- The music notes on the lobby walls and guest rooms of the All-Star Music Resort are arranged for the musical score, "When you Wish upon a Star"

- Test Track is the most complicated and longest ride at Walt Disney World. The cars each consist of 3 computers, and each has more processing power than a space shuttle. Each car is capable of 150 mph, but only go 65 mph.

- In the graveyard scene of the Haunted Mansion, a skeleton hand is stuck out of the ground holding a fastpass.
- In Muppet-Vision, there is a sign at a reception desk that says that a key is under a mat. Lift the mat, and there is a key!

- during one of the primary test runs for Rock 'n Roller Coaster, credit cards of the habitancy testing the ride were demagnetized because they didn't vent the get underway tunnel properly.

- Rumor has it that there are microphones all over the place for ability control. If too many guests complain in a single area, expect the complaints to be quietly addressed. After dining at The contemporary a guest later stated that she something about wanting a refill while still dining. "10 seconds later our waiter came for the kitchen with a coke for me."

- The suite in the Magic Kingdom's Castle was originally built for Walt's Family, He died before the park was completed, so it was used an office for Walt Disney World telephone operators.

- The primary Test Track ride's tires only lasted a week before they needed to be replaced. The tire business that sponsored the attraction created new tires meant for the terrain, the tires are now considerable for 4 months of stress.

- On mean each Test track car travels about 150 miles per day.

- The Epcot ball was the first massive sphere to be lifted of the ground.

- The Magic Kingdom is built 14 feet off the ground. Underneath the Magic Kingdom grounds, and in the 14 feet of concrete, are aid tunnels.

- 55,000 cast members work under Walt Disney World.

- Hollywood Studios (formerly Mgm Studios) was in the process of being built before Universal Studios. There was a race for the opening, in which Mgm Studios won.

- When it opened in opened in 1990, Mgm Studios only had 2 rides: Great Movie Ride and the Back Stage tour.

- The Tinkerbell flying on the cable is a man. I have friend who lives in Orlando who was offered the job as tink, she was told that Tinkerbell had to weigh under a 100 pounds. Now that's a considerable small man

The last time I was in Disney I spoke to a monorail driver about Tinkerbell's flight. He said that the girl get 0.00 a flight and in the summer sometimes she flies twice. ( Two fireworks shows)

Illuminations 25 cost approx. ,000 a night.

"Signal 8" Is Cm-ese for "lost guest"

In Space Mountain, the point at which your car waits for takeoff in the get underway tunnel, they are as a matter of fact weighing the car and determining the fastest speed the car should be able to acquire safely.

When they did the first dummy runs for Big Thunder Mountain at Disney Land Paris, all the dummies came back with no heads on.
