Main Street USA

Main Street USA

Nobody's actual hometown ever looked this good. Walt knew that, so he built the one everyone wished they'd grown up in. It's manufactured nostalgia for a place that never existed, and it works on you every single time, no matter how many times you've walked it.

Scott says...

If you buy a fancy candy apple at the Main Street Confectionery, you can ask them to slice it for you making it actually edible. How you like them apples?

Big Thunder Mountain

Wildest Ride in the Wilderness

Big Thunder Mountain

Fresh off a year-long refurb with a new track and new effects. The backstory: Big Thunder's gold is cursed. Everyone who tried to take it paid for it: floods, cave-ins, equipment that just wouldn't stop moving. That last part is where you come in. The ride earns its mythology: red-rock buttes modeled on Monument Valley, a track that rattles through collapsed mine shafts and the ruins of a flooded town, a collapsing mine for a finale. By the numbers, it's a mild coaster. By every other measure, it's one of the best-told stories in the park.

Tron Lightcycle Run

Tron Lightcycle Run

Tron Lightcycle Run delivers on its hype. It's a motorcycle-style launch coaster that's fast enough to be thrilling but smooth enough to not make your back regret it. Consider using Lightning Lane or rope dropping it!

Streets of Harambe Village

Streets of Harambe Village

The streets and shops within the Africa section of Animal Kingdom are incredibly detailed and truly take you to another place. On a hot day, grab a Yeti Sundae at the Anadapur Ice Cream Truck in Asia and then wander the streets of Africa to take in the scenery.

Scott says...

If you find some Mickey Mouse "graffiti" in Africa, you can learn the Swahili word for "hidden"

EPCOT at Night

EPCOT is absolutely magical at night. If the kids can do it, stay until it's dark and the mood lighting is on! Vendors sell all sorts of light-up gadgets, giving it a family rave vibe.

Pandora

The World of Avatar

Pandora

Pandora: The World of Avatar at Animal Kingdom is genuinely one of Disney's most immersive lands, even if you're not an Avatar fan! Flight of Passage is an absolute must-ride.

Day 3: Epic Universe

July 7, 2026

Tue, Jul 7

The New Park

Universal's Epic Universe

Five worlds, one day, and a strong opinion about which one you start in. The real Day 3 itinerary has the entry strategy, the Ministry of Magic timing window, a lunch plan that doesn't wreck your afternoon, and the world you'll want to circle back to before park close. But this is just a sample itinerary.

Disney's Hollywood Studios

Star Wars, Toy Story, the Tower of Terror — packed into Disney's smallest park, with no filler. Day 4 has a rope-drop priority: Rise of the Resistance. I'll also share the Galaxy's Edge meal worth showing up for, and a list of what to skip without guilt in the full itinerary.
