Disney World Theme Park Specifics
So, have you decided what you're going to do when you hit the Magic Kingdom or Epcot? It may not hurt to have some sort of plan in place regarding what you most want to see in any of the given theme parks. Even if you're more of a go-with-the-flow type, knowing what rides and shows there are and where they're located in relation to each other can be helpful in staving off potential theme park frustration.
Enter the touring plan. Often served up by people who've been there, done that, touring plans can give you an idea of how to hit the highlights of a park and how to do that within a certain time frame. A touring plan might also give clues about when to visit certain attractions so as to cut down on time spent in those long and winding queues.
We've got a few ideas of our own when it comes to touring plans. Please, learn from our experience; perhaps it will make yours that much smoother and better.

Bob Sehlinger and Len Testa's *Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World* has long been the buy-it-or-don't-buy-anything guidebook to WDW. Their scientific approach to planning the perfect WDW vacation takes the trial-and-error out of your trip. Their website is most useful for its crowd blog and calendar (find out their predictions for how crowded the parks will be when you're there--and why!) and free sample touring plans. Check out the Ticket Options Calculator to navigate Disney's ticketing system. Note: To take advantage of crowd calendars past the current month, touring plans other than the samples, and other perks, the site has a $7.95/yr membership fee.
