I am in Orlando and have five hours to kill tomorrow. I would love to go to Disney, since I haven't visited since I was a kid (over 30 years ago). I KNOW I can't do it all in that amount of time, so I'd like to hit a few highlights. Ideas? Thanks!

You should be able to do at least one park in that time. What's your favorite park and what day are you going to be there? If it's during the week, you shouldn't have any problems.

No idea which park is my fave. Leaving Orlando Friday, so I'm going to try to go tomorrow. I suppose I just need to figure out which park I'd like to see.

Oh, and thank you for the quick response.

If you want to relive childhood memories, just stick to the Magic Kingdom. No other park gives you that 'Disney' feeling quite like the MK. Just walking down main street if you haven't been there in a long time is quite an experience. Unfortunately, Space Mountain is down for refurbishment right now. Make sure you hit Pirates, Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Philharmagic, Peter Pan, Jungle Cruise, Thunder Mountain. Animal Kingdom is also quite doable in 5 hours if you stick to the main attractions. I could go on and on, but you are leaving tomorrow so go with that.

I would go with traditional Magic kingdom.

If it were me, I would spend the whole time in the lazy river at Typhoon Lagoon. Nothing is more relaxing than just floating endlessly in my favorite water park. But that's just me.

My daughter is 11 and much prefers Epcot...lol...It's my favorite park also, but you have to dig deeper to enjoy it.

Five hours, yes MK!
