Pace yourself and spread out the long days in the parks. A week at Disney is going to give you days of walking well over that 10,000 step count we are supposed to get. Most days will give you well over 15,000 or even 20,000.
In fact, the average length of stay at Walt Disney World Resort is six days. According to various experts, a six- to seven-day visit will give you ample time to visit at least three Disney theme parks, as well as Universal Orlando and/or SeaWorld Orlando if you so choose.
We really like to peruse the World Showcase and wander at a slow pace. A full day, or eight hours, will allow you to take in most of the most popular attractions and experiences here. If your itinerary allows, I would recommend splitting this up into a few different visits.

I'd recommend training to hit at least 10,000 steps per day two weeks prior to stepping foot in the parks, but would push for 12,000-15,000 during a couple of days during those weeks.
More than 52 million guests visit each year; there is no “dead” time at Disney. However, there are still times of the year that are better than others as far as crowd size. We tend to find that the slowest times at Disney World are in the early fall, like September and the late winter, like February.
Off-peak times fall around January, February, September, and early November. Discounts on vacation packages booked directly through Disney (which combine park tickets and hotel stays) can be found year-round, though they're most common at these less-crowded times.

It's at least very challenging. There's too much in the park to easily do in a single day. It's probably more of a one-and-a-half or two-day park. That said, this is a one day itinerary post, and there are a few approaches you can take to have one very good nearly perfect day at Magic Kingdom.
