A TouringPlans Alternative for Disney World and Universal Orlando
A touring plan is a step list for a park day, so you ride more and wait less. ParkCharter takes a different approach: you tell it your dates, parks and party, and it builds the plan for every park day of your trip.
ParkCharter is not affiliated with TouringPlans, Disney or Universal.

Two ways to plan a park day
TouringPlans
TouringPlans offers pre-built and customizable touring plans for individual parks, along with tools that can optimize and update a plan during the day.
ParkCharter
ParkCharter starts with your whole trip: dates, Disney and Universal parks, party heights and meals. Then it builds the park days together as one itinerary.
If a library of ready-made plans suits you, see TouringPlans. If you would rather have the plan built for you, read on.
What ParkCharter plans for you
Disney and Universal in one trip
Mix Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando days, Epic Universe included, and get one plan that covers every park day.
Ride order from wait history
Rides are ordered using each ride’s real wait-time history hour by hour for your date, so the big lines land at the times they are usually shortest.
Heights and Kid Charter
Each ride’s height minimum is checked against your kids. When a little one is too short, Kid Charter plans something nearby for them while the rest of the group rides.
Meals placed in the day
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are placed at sensible times in the day, using the meal choices you pick.
Change it by asking
Ask Arrow, the in-app assistant, to swap a ride, move a meal or rebuild a day, and review the change before you apply it.

The first part of a plan for Magic Kingdom on Sunday, Oct 18 (park hours 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM), built for two adults and a kid tall enough for most rides. A full trip plans every park day this way.
