Planning a week-long Disney World vacation can feel overwhelming. How many park days? When do you rest? How do you keep everyone happy without burning out by Day 3? After hosting hundreds of families at 450 Burma St, we’ve learned what works. Here’s a day-by-day sample itinerary for a 7-day Disney trip that balances theme park magic with rest, pool time, and all the incredible amenities waiting for you at the house.
Day 1 (Saturday): Arrival, Settle In, and Get Excited
Morning/Afternoon: Fly into MCO airport, just 30 minutes from the house. Pick up your rental car (or charge your EV — we have a Tesla charger and 50-amp EV station in the garage) and head to 450 Burma St in the Encore at Reunion West gated community. Use the keyless smart lock to let yourself in — no waiting for keys or meeting anyone.
The Grand Tour: This is the best part of Day 1. Let the kids explore the house and discover the themed bedrooms. Watch them race from room to room choosing between Star Wars (with the LED star ceiling!), Harry Potter, Frozen, Mickey Mouse, and Magic Kingdom. The adults can claim the luxurious Master Suite. With 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, everyone gets their own space.
Grocery Run: Head to Publix, just 5 minutes away. Stock up on breakfast essentials, lunch supplies for the parks, snacks, and drinks. Walmart is also nearby if you prefer one-stop shopping. Pro tip: order Instacart delivery before you arrive so groceries are waiting at the door.
Evening: Unpack, throw on swimsuits, and hit the private heated pool and hot tub. The outdoor area is stunning — a pergola with dual premium fans, luxury outdoor sectional and dining set, patio string lights, and landscape lighting create the perfect first-night vibe. Grill burgers or order pizza, then let the kids burn off energy in the game room: Pac-Man arcade (1,300 games), air hockey, ping pong, foosball, and premium cornhole. Early bedtime tonight — tomorrow is Magic Kingdom.
Day 2 (Sunday): Magic Kingdom — The Main Event
Morning: Wake up early and brew coffee at the premium coffee station — automatic espresso machine, grinder, and Keurig so everyone gets their fix. Cook a big breakfast in the full kitchen (granite counters, premium appliances) and pack lunches and snacks for the park. Disney allows outside food, and packing lunches saves a family $100+ per day.
Rope Drop: Magic Kingdom is just 15 minutes away. Arrive before park opening to maximize your morning. Hit the big rides first: Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Use Lightning Lane for the most popular rides if it’s in your budget.
Midday Break: Here’s the secret weapon of staying close to the parks. When the Florida heat peaks and the crowds swell around 1–3 PM, head back to the house for a pool break. Fifteen minutes and you’re floating in your own private pool while the hot tub jets melt away tired feet. The kids can nap, the adults can relax, and everyone recharges for the evening.
Evening: Return to Magic Kingdom refreshed for the evening. Enjoy the parade, grab dessert on Main Street, and stay for the fireworks spectacular. Come home and tuck the kids into the Magic Kingdom bedroom — the perfect end to the perfect Magic Kingdom day.
Day 3 (Monday): Rest Day — Pool, Game Room, and Exploring
Morning: Sleep in. Everyone needs it after a full park day. Make pancakes and bacon in the kitchen, brew espresso, and take it slow. Spend the morning at the pool and hot tub. The heated pool means comfortable swimming even on cooler mornings. The pergola with dual premium fans keeps the patio shaded and breezy.
Late Morning/Afternoon: Time for a game room tournament. Set up a bracket for the air hockey table. Challenge grandpa to ping pong. Let the kids go wild on the Pac-Man arcade. Break out the PS5, Xbox Series X, or Nintendo Switch OLED for some console gaming. Play premium cornhole on the patio. This is the kind of day that becomes everyone’s favorite memory.
Optional Outing: If the family wants to venture out, Celebration Town Center is a charming nearby town with shops, restaurants, and lakeside paths. Or head to Disney Springs for free — no park ticket needed. Browse the shops, grab a meal at one of the restaurants, and enjoy the entertainment. Both are within a short drive.
Evening: Cook dinner together, eat at the outdoor dining set under the string lights, and enjoy an evening swim. Movie night with popcorn — the AT&T Fiber 1 Gbps internet and Wi-Fi 7 make streaming flawless on any device.
Day 4 (Tuesday): EPCOT — World Showcase and Thrills
Morning: Cook breakfast, pack lunches (you know the drill — it saves serious money), and head to EPCOT. Start with the thrill rides: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, and Frozen Ever After. If EPCOT is hosting a festival (Food & Wine, Flower & Garden, Festival of the Arts), you’re in for a treat.
Afternoon: Explore World Showcase. Walk through 11 countries, sample cuisine, watch cultural performances, and shop for unique souvenirs. This is where EPCOT shines for multi-generational groups — grandparents love the cultural immersion, parents enjoy the food and drinks, and kids are fascinated by the global experiences.
Dinner: Treat the family to a sit-down dinner at one of the World Showcase restaurants. Le Cellier (Canada), Teppan Edo (Japan), and Via Napoli (Italy) are perennial favorites. This is your one splurge meal of the trip — you’ve earned it by cooking every other meal.
Evening: Stay for the EPCOT nighttime spectacular, then head home. Tuck the little ones into the Frozen bedroom after their Frozen Ever After ride experience — the magic continues at bedtime.
Day 5 (Wednesday): Universal — Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Morning: Head to Universal Studios, 25 minutes from the house. If you’re a Harry Potter family, this is the day you’ve been waiting for. Explore Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley at Universal Studios. Ride Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, and Escape from Gringotts. Take the Hogwarts Express between the two parks.
Afternoon: Don’t miss the rest of Universal — VelociCoaster, Jurassic World, and the new attractions are world-class. Grab Butterbeer (frozen is the way to go) and a wand at Ollivanders.
Evening: Come home and send the kids straight to the Harry Potter bedroom. Start a Harry Potter movie marathon in the living room. Make themed snacks in the kitchen using the air fryer — pretzel wands, anyone? The kids who just experienced the Wizarding World in person now get to sleep in a Harry Potter room. That’s a core memory being formed in real time.
Day 6 (Thursday): Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom + Pool Evening
Morning/Afternoon: Choose your adventure. Option A: Full day at Hollywood Studios for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Tower of Terror, Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster, and Toy Story Land. Option B: Half day at Animal Kingdom for Pandora (Flight of Passage is a must), Kilimanjaro Safaris, and Expedition Everest, then half day at Hollywood Studios. Option C: Pick one park and take it at a relaxed pace — no rushing.
Late Afternoon: Head home earlier today. You’ve earned a relaxing evening after five busy days. Change into swimsuits and head to the pool.
Evening: This is the evening that everyone talks about afterward. The patio string lights come on, the landscape lighting creates ambiance, and the heated pool and hot tub glow under the stars. Cook a big family dinner and eat at the outdoor dining set under the pergola. Kids play in the pool while adults relax on the luxury outdoor sectional. Fire up the foosball table or cornhole. Someone inevitably says, “This is better than the parks.”
For Star Wars fans, tuck the kids into the Star Wars bedroom with the LED star ceiling on. After a day at Galaxy’s Edge, falling asleep under the stars is pure magic.
Day 7 (Friday): Departure Day — One Last Swim
Morning: Wake up and squeeze in one last pool session. The kids will beg for it, and honestly, so will the adults. The heated pool feels especially good in the morning light. Make a final breakfast at the coffee station — one last espresso or Keurig cup for the road.
Late Morning: Pack up, do a sweep of all six bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms (things always hide in the themed bedrooms), and load the car. Check out is simple — just lock the smart lock behind you.
Optional Stop: If your flight is later in the day, hit the Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets or Orlando International Premium Outlets on the way to MCO. They’re right on the route and offer great deals on everything from Nike to Disney merchandise.
Departure: MCO airport is 30 minutes from the house. Allow extra time during peak travel days. Return the rental car, check your bags, and start planning your return trip on the plane ride home — because after a week at 450 Burma, everyone will want to come back.
