Planning your Disney park days for success starts with figuring out how many days you’ll need and whether standard tickets or park hopper tickets are the right choice. This blog helps you plan your visit to Walt Disney World with tips for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and more. Learn how to schedule rides, shows, and dining to create a stress-free itinerary that maximizes your time at the parks!

So let me explain why you're so tired at Walt Disney World and why I call this a trip or an adventure, not a vacation. First, you are overstimulated. Disney hits all your senses at once all day long. Sight, sound, and touch all day long! Not to mention the brain power you use when strategically planning and executing your day. Then after a long day, the second shift starts, even on vacation.

There are four separate theme parks and two water parks at Walt Disney World, an outdoor shopping area, and a sports complex. Your theme parks are Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach are your two water parks. Disney Springs is your themed dining, retail, and entertainment center and ESPN Wide World of Sports is the sports complex.
