For me, the logic in Episode 395 for the sequence of parks doesn't hold up for me any more. Toy Story is now such a big thing that I would rather make sure that this VIP catches Toy Story and maybe miss Everest than the other way round.

If doing HS first I would get the picnic for Finding Nemo.

My classic MK attraction is the Tiki Birds, though I would try and also see Philharmagic, time permitting.

Was excited about this topic until the first 2 min... 4 parks in one day??! Remember most people don't live in Orlando so we're on vacation! If someone had "guided" me through 4 parks in 1 day, I would be tired, frustrated and less than enthused.

Hkfisher is right, that all four parks in a day is a little much for most people. You'd spend so much time running around that the new visitor wouldn't really appreciate the details that set Disney parks apart from others.

For dinner, I agree with those who suggested Biergarten as a good place to start. There is good food, a well-presented theme, a show, and a good chance to interact with other guests (so your single traveler realizes you're not the only Disney nut in the world).

You also missed the obvious choice for taking the couple to dinner. Based on your previous podcasts, Narcoossee's would likely best cater to their needs.

What I would love to hear is a show about how to handle a vacationing first timer when you are a Type-A planner.

Worried that in November I'm going to drive away my in-laws...
