Orlando itinerary: theme parks, rest days and a space day
Orlando trips fall apart when every day is a 12-hour park day. This prompt has your todo.is agent build an Orlando itinerary that picks the right parks for your kids' ages, orders them by crowd level, adds rest and pool days and plans the morning of each park day, with Kennedy Space Center or the beach if you want a break.
The prompt
- Plan an Orlando itinerary for [NUMBER OF DAYS] days, [TRAVEL DATES], for [WHO IS TRAVELLING]. Parks we want: [PARKS]. Order the park days by expected crowd level, and put a rest or pool day after every 2 park days. For each park day give a rope-drop plan: the 3 rides to do first, where to have lunch, and the evening show or fireworks. Explain Lightning Lane or Express Pass options, the park apps, and which rides have height limits for [KIDS HEIGHTS]. Add [NON-PARK DAY]. We stay [HOTEL AREA]. Note Florida heat and afternoon storms. Make a Word file I can edit and a PDF, email both. Don't book anything.
What to change
- [NUMBER OF DAYS]: E.g. "7".
- [TRAVEL DATES]: E.g. "12 to 19 April". The agent flags school holidays and park events.
- [WHO IS TRAVELLING]: E.g. "2 adults and kids aged 5 and 9", "couple of thrill-seekers".
- [PARKS]: E.g. "Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, Epic Universe".

- [NON-PARK DAY]: E.g. "Kennedy Space Center", "Cocoa Beach", "Disney Springs and the pool", or "none".
- [HOTEL AREA]: E.g. "at a Disney resort", "near Universal", "on International Drive".

- • Height check: your 5-year-old (112 cm) can ride most family rides; some Universal coasters need 122 cm or more.
- Day 1: Arrival and Disney Springs
- • Check in, pool, then dinner and shops at Disney Springs (free entry).
- Day 2: Magic Kingdom
- • Rope drop: be at the gate 30 to 45 min early. First: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Peter Pan's Flight, then the Haunted Mansion.
- • Midday: lunch in Fantasyland, then back to the hotel for a 2-hour break when it's hottest.

- Day 3: Pool and rest day
- Day 4: Hollywood Studios

- Day 5: Kennedy Space Center
- • About 1 hour's drive east. Space Shuttle Atlantis, the Rocket Garden and the bus tour to the Apollo/Saturn V Center.
- • Check the launch schedule: if a rocket launches during your trip, viewing spots fill early.
- Day 6: EPCOT
- • Morning: Frozen Ever After, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, then Test Track for your 9-year-old.
- • Afternoon: walk the World Showcase and snack across the countries.
- • Evening: the nighttime show over World Showcase Lagoon.
- Day 7: Islands of Adventure
- • Hogwarts Express needs a park-to-park ticket. Start with Hagrid's (check the height limit), then Jurassic World VelociCoaster for an adult.
- Good to know
- • Download each park's app before you go for wait times and mobile food ordering.
- • April is busy over Easter weeks. Expect afternoon heat; carry ponchos for storms.
How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt, then fill in days, dates, travellers, parks, heights and a non-park day.
- Paste it on the Today screen in todo.is or send it to your agent on WhatsApp or Telegram.
- Your agent emails a Word file and a PDF with each park day planned from the gate.
- Ask for changes ("swap EPCOT for Animal Kingdom", "fewer early mornings") and buy tickets yourself.
Tips for a better result
- Put a rest day after every two park days, especially with kids under 8. Everyone enjoys the next park more.
- Measure your kids before you plan. Height limits decide which park suits them.
- Ask your agent to check the Kennedy Space Center launch schedule for your dates.
- Ask for an editable Word file. Plans change once you see the queues and the weather.
Orlando itinerary: FAQ
- How many days do you need in Orlando? Five to seven days lets you visit four or five parks with a couple of rest days. Disney World alone has four theme parks.
- Is Lightning Lane or Universal Express worth it? It can save hours on busy days, but adds cost. Ask your agent to compare your dates' expected crowds before you decide.
- When is the least crowded time to visit Orlando parks? Often late January to early February and parts of September, outside school holidays. Crowds vary by year, so check current calendars.
- Can my agent buy park tickets for me? No. It finds the official ticket pages and compares options; you buy the tickets yourself.
