Disney World Virtual Tour: The Ultimate AT HOME Itinerary
Need a bit of Disney magic right now? You and me both!
Why don’t we take a Disney World Virtual Tour?
Sure, it’s not the same as physically going to the parks. But this is the best we can do right now and I’ll take it.
As I mentioned in my last Virtual Travel post, feel free to use this itinerary as a guide or a starting point for your own creativity. I’m definitely not encouraging you to run out to the store to gather the supplies I mention below. See what you already have that you can work with or use this to plan ahead for your next grocery order.
Oh, just a head’s up- we might hop around to a few other Disney- related sites. We will mostly “visit” Disney World, but the best thing about virtual travel is you can cover way more ground than normal.
Alright, put on your Mickey ears & get ready to use your imagination!
Disney World Virtual Tour: The Ultimate AT HOME Itinerary
Morning
I always love starting my Disney days at the Magic Kingdom, so we are going to do just that! Put on this Youtube video and pretend that you are riding down Main Street USA in an Omnibus.
After you travel down Main Street, it’s time for our first ride- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! You have to get this one in early before the line gets too long, right?
Let’s take advantage of the low, early morning crowds and hit another ride. Maybe Big Thunder Mountain Railway?
Breakfast & a Show
Alright, now that you’ve gotten in a few rides, head back to Main Street to grab breakfast. My perfect Magic Kingdom breakfast is a Starbucks + a waffle from Sleepy Hollow that I enjoy while listening to the Dapper Dans or watching the Trolley Show.
Heres how you can recreate that:
- Sleepy Hollow Waffle Recipes
- Coffee- either get Starbucks to go or just make some coffee at home
- #VoicesFromHome: Dapper Dans
- Magic Kingdom Trolley Show
Late Morning
After breakfast, we are going to do one of my all-time favorite Disney activities. No it’s not a ride or a parade.
It’s a drawing class!
These used to be a staple of my Hollywood Studios days. Now they exist in Animal Kingdom and California Adventure. I kind of feel like soaking up some California vibes, so let’s magically hop over there!
Disney has released a few videos HERE and HERE where you can learn to draw Rapunzel, Olaf, Ariel, Mater and more!
After a drawing class or two, let’s ride another attraction before lunch. Settle in for a ride through Disneyland’s it’s a Small World or if you are feeling brave, strap in for the Incredicoaster.
Yes, I know we are “in” California now instead of Florida, but hey- that’s the plus side of virtual travel! You can go anywhere you want at any time.
Lunch & a Parade
Alright, for lunch here are some fun recipes to try. But really, there are SO many lunch options in Disney World so get creative with what you have.
- Woody’s Lunchbox Grilled Cheese Sandwich
- Walt’s Chili
- Chicken Strawberry Salad from the Plaza Restaurant– I don’t have a recipe for this one but it is made with greens, grilled chicken, gorgonzola, strawberries, and a sweet white zinfandel vinaigrette. You might not all have the ingredients (I definitely don’t) but if you want something lighter use this as a salad inspiration.
Want a show with lunch? Who doesn’t?
Why not watch the new Magic Happens Parade or listen to the JAMMitors rock it out from home (or both)!
Afternoon
Ready to ride a few more rides, enjoy a snack, then head to happy hour? Sounds like a great afternoon to me!
Enjoy a trip on one (or all) of these great attractions. It’s such a perk that we don’t have to wait in line!
Ready for a snack? Is it really a Disney day if you don’t have one of these iconic treats?
While you are making and eating your afternoon snack, you could always put on another parade because why not?! How about the Festival of Fantasy Parade.
Happy Hour
Alright, once you’re ready it’s time for happy hour! My favorite place for a drink on Disney property is Trader Sams at the Polynesian Resort.
To get there, let’s take a monorail ride. (Yes this is a video of the monorail from the Magic Kingdom to the Polynesian. So thankful for these creative people right about now!)
Once you get there- put on this Trader Sams music loop for some ambiance.
For your drinks, you have some options:
- You could just make a non-alcoholic Dole Whip. It’s not exactly a drink but its a SUPER classic treat!
- Here’s a recipe for the Boozy Dole Whip I always order a Trader Sams
- Inside the Magic shared recipes for the “Shipwreck on the Rocks” and “Krakatoa Punch” drinks on their site
Get creative with what you have. Any sort of tiki drink will work!
Oh, and if you have Disney+ maybe put on the Lava short. The ukulele player at Trader Sams always seems to perform that song when I’m there.
Dinner + Dessert
There are so many places to go for dinner in Disney. Where will you choose? Here are some fun copycat recipes to try, but you can always just cut your food into a Mickey shape if you want. That absolutely works too!
- Jiko’s Macaroni and Cheese
- California Grill’s Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli
- Be Our Guest Restaurant Salmon with Leek Fondue
- Blue Bayou’s Monte Cristo Sandwich
- Chef Art Smith’s Chicken and Dumplings
If you want another dessert, how about a Magic Cookie Bar or the Grey Stuff?
For some background music during all of this, check out Magic Kingdom: Entrance Audio Loop on Youtube.
Fireworks + A Parade + a Movie
End your evening with some of Disney’s best nighttime entertainment!
- Watch the Happily Ever After Fireworks
- Enjoy Paint the Night (my all-time favorite Disney parade!)
- Be immersed in Fantasmic!
If you’re not quite ready to end your Disney World Virtual Tour, why not put on a classic Disney movie. There are so many options on Disney+ so pick one out and enjoy a bit more of the magic!
I hope you enjoyed this Disney World Virtual Tour! I had a ton of fun “visiting” the parks. Have you been taking any other virtual travels? Or is there somewhere you’d like to see a virtual itinerary for? Let me know below!
