Today I have my ideal Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom days to help you figure out how to plan your days (and to even combine the 2 parks into 1 day).

I also have a quick tip of the day and recent Disney World news.

These are notes from this episode. There's much more info included in the audio so be sure to listen to the episode for a better explanation.

Call in your non-Disney World questions

If you have a non-Disney World question about websites, podcasts, business, personal stuff, etc., please leave me a SpeakPipe message and I'll put them together for a show at the end of the year. You can do that by downloading the SpeakPipe app or using your computer at https://www.speakpipe.com/WDWPrepToGo.

Ideal Hollywood Studios day

* Arrive 30-40 minutes before the park opens

* Go to Toy Story Mania, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, Star Tours, and Great Movie Ride first. During busier times of the year FP+ reservations for Tower of Terror, Star Tours and Great Movie Ride may be needed.

* Spend the rest of the day seeing shows. Use wdwent.com for show times and consider taking food into outdoor shows to maximize your time (those shows include Beauty and the Beast, Lights Motors Action, Indiana Jones, and Fantasmic).

Ideal Animal Kingdom day

For the shortest wait times at attractions, follow this plan:

* Arrive 30-40 minutes before park opening

* Go to Dinosaur, Primeval Whirl, ride Expedition Everest with FP+ (re-ride in the single rider line if desired), Kali River Rapids, Kilimanjaro Safaris with FP+, Festival of the Lion King with FP+, lunch, and remaining attractions

For maximum animal activity, follow this plan:

* Arrive 30-40 minutes before park opening

* Go to Kilimanjaro Safaris, other animal trails and attractions, Kali River Rapids, Expedition Everest with FP+ (re-ride in single rider line if desired), Dinosaur with FP+, Primeval Whirl with FP+, lunch, then remaining attractions

Combining HS and AK

My touring plans have a suggestion for combining the 2 parks into 1 day.
