8. Make an itinerary for your time in the parks.
Based on the things you and your family have decided you really want to experience, make a “loose” itinerary for each day that you will be in the parks. Look at your dining reservations, and create your itinerary around those reservations. For example, if you have reservations for lunch at Be Our Guest Restaurant at Magic Kingdom on the first day of your trip, it’s a good idea to plan that whole day at Magic Kingdom, unless you intend to park-hop. Then when it’s time to make your FastPass+ selections, you’ll know to make them at Magic Kingdom. Try to keep room on your itinerary for character encounters you and your family hope to have, keeping in mind that most of them do not have FastPass+ availability and that you will usually need to wait in line for them.
