Spending five days at Walt Disney World with kids is a marathon, not a sprint. A Disney vacation that hits all four Orlando parks--Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios--inevitably meets our four Es: exciting, exhausting, entertaining, and Excedrin (or whatever your preferred pain medicine brand). Creating a five day itinerary for Walt Disney World is crucial for getting the biggest bang for your buck and planning is key. Hopefully you're reading this article before your scheduled Disney World trip so you can book in-demand activity and restaurant reservations, but if not, go with the flow—Disney is always a magical place for kids and adults.

This five-day Disney itinerary was created with the idea of visiting all four of the Walt Disney World parks; however, if you or your kids love one or two specific parks, spend multiple days there. Buying and using MagicBands+ (like a Disney smartwatch) make life easier when it comes to attraction entrances, meal payments, etc, plus they light up with different choreographed colors at various parts in the park and during fireworks and evening shows. And if you visit during the warmer months, don't forget about the Disney water parks!
