We will be at Orlando from June 4-June 9. We will probably go to Universal on Monday the 5th and we were thinking if we do go to Disney it will be that Tuesday the 6th or Wednesday the 7th.

I think your best bet if you aren’t using Genie+ or Individual Lightning Lanes is to start at Magic Kingdom.

You’d have to join the Tron virtual queue with a return time before lunch if you’re lucky. Leave Magic Kingdom for EPCOT on the monorail and tap in at 1:55pm, which is the earliest you can get in when park hopping. Grab a Guardians 1pm virtual queue boarding group with a quick return time, if you’re lucky.

Head to Animal Kingdom next and wait in standby for Flight of Passage. The wait here could easily be 90+ minutes.

Finish at Hollywood Studios in the Rose of the Resistance queue and hope the ride doesn’t break down for the day.

All this to ask what does your son want out of this trip? Is he a thrill seeker? Then pay for the express pass at Universal. Does he want to experience Disney? Then you need more than just one day to truly experience what WDW has to offer.

Well we don't know park hours just yet but I think it's safe to say that they won't be any less than why is currently being offered in May so I'll start with there but the start and end times may need to be adjusted once those hours are officially released. And lets also assume that they don't change any Lightning Lane tiers between not and then and everything that is currently e Lightning Lane option now will be then.

The key here is two fold....starting at Magic Kingdom (and have a park reservation there), then heading to Animal Kingdom and definitely buying two Individual Lightning Lanes.

Because you are not staying at a Disney resort your only chance for Tron will be to snag a spot in the virtual queue at 7am. Anyone with a Magic Kingdom park reservation can enter the virtual queue through the my disney experience app starting at 7am regardless of where you actually are at that moment and what time the park opens (more to come on best practices to snag those virtual queue spots).

Depending on your spot in the virtual queue, you may be able to get on Tron as early as 10 or 11 am or as late as 5 of 6 pm so fast fingers for the win here.

Now, you can't enter your next park until 2pm but you're next park will be Animal Kingdom. Flight of Passage will be one of the attractions you will buy an Individual Lightning Lane for and you will want to buy it and lock in something around 2-3pm, closer to 2pm the better.

You'll want to leave Magic Kingdom in plenty time to make sure you are off the bus and through security by 2pm not getting ON the bus or ordering an Uber at 2pm but actually at Animal Kingdom, bags already checked and waiting to tap in by 1:45 or so. Uber will definitely be faster from Magic Kingdom so if you go that route you will want to walk to The Contemporary from Magic Kingdom anc order the uber there. If not, you'll have to go all the way back to the transportation and ticket center to catch the uber there.

Okay, back to the schedule.

IF your fingers were fast enough to get you in the virtual queue for Tron before you had to leave Magic Kingdom no need to worry about having to hop back letter but just remember you may have to leave Animal Kingdom and go back to Magic Kingdom to do Tron and I think you have like 2.5 hours once your spot is called so you have plenty of time. Even if you miss your lightning lane start time for Flight of Passage it doesn't matter...you can get in line for it ANY time once your time window opens.

if you need to Uber back to Magic Kingdom, remember, order it to the contemporary and get dropped off there then walk over.

The other Individual Lightning lane you will buy will be Guardians of the Galaxy in Epcot and I would shoot for something in that 4-6 range. Epcot and Hollywood Studios will both be open till probably 9 or so that light (maybe later) so your plan will want to get in line for Rise of the Resistance as close to park close at Hollywood Studios close as possible.

They will let you in line up to the moment the park closes so if it is a 9pm close, your goal is to get in line at 8:58. To get from Hollywood Studios to Epcot you will want to walk, it's about 20 minutes and a little more than a mile.

So:
-Make your park reservation at Magic Kingdom
-At 7am (actually you'll start this process about 6:58am) get in the Tron virtual queue

-Immediately after getting your Tron VQ spot, buy your ILL for Flight of Passage as close to 2pm as possible (but it MUST be after 2pm) and then Guardians for something in the early evening 4-6ish (but keep in mind your Tron virtual queue time right.?.?).

Because you will have your virtual queue for Tron that will dictate when you buy your ILL (Individual Lightning Lanes) for Flight of Passage and Guardians.
