Step 4: Figure Out Your Must-Do Experiences & Must-See Entertainment in

What’s the goal each day of your trip?

Sit down and decide what are your priorities rides

What dinning and shows do you HAVE to experience

Essentially, a typical park day should be designed with this focus:

• Park opening until early afternoon – attractions

• Break at your hotel (or see shows in the parks to relax)

• Early evening until close – entertainment, characters, more attractions

After enjoying attractions during the first part of the day when lines are lower, focus on the following for the rest of your day:

• Entertainment

• Shopping

​This simple focus will make for minimal time in lines, a leisurely afternoon/evening while the rest of the park guests are waiting forever to rides likes Gringotts, Hagrid's for example.

I can’t stress enough about how important your morning plan is. Be sure to check my Park Guides for how to make each park day the most enjoyable. 

I test my park guide strategies weekly to ensure they are up to date throughout the year.
