Walt Disney World 4-Day Touring Plan

Day Five & Beyond: Park Hopping

By following the above tips, you will have seen every park fairly thoroughly by Day Five. This is your time to relax, enjoy shopping and table service meals, and catch additional shows and smaller attractions. Re-visit the parks with an eye toward appreciating the details, see the parades, perhaps just stroll aimlessly through the parks. There is so much to see and do at all of the parks that you will certainly be glad for additional time, but since you will have already seen the highlights, some of the pressure will be off. Feel free to park-hop, visiting multiple parks on the same day.

Disney World is so large that it would take a month to truly feel that you have seen it all. A longer vacation of four or more days will allow you to slow down, relax, and enjoy the experience.
