My husband and I are planning an upcoming trip, taking two first timers, my sister and best friend. In the planning stages we were thinking what would be the perfect day if it was up to us? I’d love everyone’s thoughts, mainly just for fun!!! But instead of a detailed play by play, hour by hour, Genie + by Genie +, I thought it would be a fun question and answer. So if you want to play, answer the questions below:
What Parks would you visit?
What two ILLs would you buy?
What are your top 5 Genie+ priorities and in what order?
Where is lunch?
What bar/lounge would you include?
Where is dinner?
What non-ride attractions or experiences would be included?
This can be pie in the sky, wish list stuff if you want. In my next post, I will give my answers and try to stick with what would be possible in a Rope Drop to Closing type day. But no rules, just enjoy if you want! Even add some questions!
What Parks would you visit? All four but at least AK and EP.
What two ILLs would you buy? RotR, FoP; VQ for GotG and Tron (one for afternoon)
What are your top 5 Genie+ priorities and in what order? ToT, RnRC, MMRR, FEA, Remy
Where is lunch? Satuli Canteen
What bar/lounge would you include? Nomad
Where is dinner? Teppan Edo
What non-ride attractions or experiences would be included? Fantasmic or Harmonious
We are KIND of doing this in March. We have one day. So I will borrow from that plan.
Epcot, for sure…although maybe also take the Skyliner over to HS for some of the day.
GotG, and…hmm…I guess RotR, if we went over to HS.
Soarin’, ToT, SDD, Frozen, Remy
If we are at HS, then Backlot Express. If at Epcot, then…maybe Yorkshire Fish place in the UK?
Not really a bar/lounge kind of person. If I had to pick…Space 220 Lounge? But then I would make that lunch.
Yikes. So many options. We are doing Via Napoli in March, so I will go with that. But we could also go with something more upscale, such as the restaurant in Canada?
I would love to do a tour at AK or AKL- the ones with the animals. Some of my must-do non-rides include CoP, Philharmagic, and Hall of Pres. If we add AK back into the mix, walking Discovery Island.
Well somehow all my answers didn’t show. Will try to update.

Obviously I immediately broke my own non-binding rules and changed the questions in my response so I could add People Mover to my list of rides. HAHAHAHAH. Sorry for the confusion!
I’ve always enjoyed it. The drinks are a little pricey, but the atmosphere is great. I’ve never had poor service but beware of as server called “Mark” with whom several Liners are familiar and about whom they have nothing good to say.
2 probably none. Haven’t bought any yet. But Cosmic Rewind could be a contender
3 I’m not that ride centric any more, so it’s a short list. Tea Cups, Turtle Talk with Crush, Star Tours, Animation Experience
4 Flame Tree or if it’s a pleasant day, Big River Grille and Brewing Works
5 Geyser Point
6 Marrakesh - except it’s not open. Maybe Tusker House about an hour before it closes
7 Mickey ice cream bar, Barbershop Quartet, Flag Retreat at MK, bird flight at the AK tree, any shady bench in a warm day, a sunny spot on a chilly day, simply chatting up guests and CMs
I’m a long time MK fan. However, I was lucky enough to go there a couple time this year. I haven’t been able to much time at DHS and none at EP since 2013. I made mine a “realistic” plan of what I would do on my next visit if I only had one day.
What Parks would you visit? DHS / EPCOT (Start at DHS / EP Late Afternoon / Evening)
What two ILLs would you buy? RotR / GotG
What are your top 5 Genie+ priorities and in what order? SDD, ToT, MMRR, Remy, FEA
Where is lunch? Ronto’s Roasters
What bar/lounge would you include? Oga’s
Where is dinner? Biergarten or Le Cellier(Depending on who is with me)
What non-ride attractions or experiences would be included? Indy, World Showcase, Fireworks
EDIT — This is my favorite answer!! I’m including it too!!
