Orlando, Florida. Four theme parks, two water parks, 25+ resort hotels, Disney Springs, and enough dining and entertainment to fill a week without repeating yourself. This is the trip I plan most, and the one my own family takes.
Each park is a full day on its own. The park guides below go deeper: lands, can't-miss rides, shows, and family tips for each one.
Cinderella Castle, Main Street, U.S.A., and the classic attractions most families put first.

Park guide →Value, Moderate, and Deluxe resorts, plus monorail, Skyliner, and boat access that changes how your whole trip feels. Staying on property includes early park entry for resort guests.
Meals where Mickey, the princesses, and friends come to your table. Some of the most popular reservations at Disney World, and worth planning around.
Shopping, restaurants, and live entertainment at Disney Springs, plus Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach for a non-park day.
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, and EPCOT's festivals through the year, I check what's on for your dates.
I plan Walt Disney World days around the one or two things your family would be sad to miss. Not a minute by minute schedule. If those one or two things happen, the day worked, and everything else is a bonus.
With little kids, that usually means Magic Kingdom gets two days and one park gets skipped entirely. Trying to hit all four parks on a short trip turns the vacation into a checklist, and nobody comes home talking about a checklist.
I also build the midday break in from the start. Back to the resort, pool, nap, reset. The evening goes better when nobody hit empty at 2 PM.
Tell me your dates, your kids' ages, and your budget range, I'll build the resort, ticket, and park-day plan around your family, at the same price as booking direct.
