Walt Disney World Vacation – How To Have A Blast From The First Moment

Planning a Walt Disney World vacation can take a ton of time and effort. So, when the day comes for you to arrive in the Happiest Place on Earth, follow these suggestions to set the tone of your cherished Walt Disney World vacation. Having fun on your arrival day can set the mood for the rest of the trip.

If you’ve got a longer trip planned, lucky you! Why not spend your first day outside of the parks? Often, guests are so tempted to get in every last ride in at the parks that the special qualities of the resorts are often overlooked.

Ease in to the experience by taking a swim, explore the resort grounds and participate in some of the activities going on there. You will be glad when you awake the next day rested and ready to take on the World!

If you are planning to stay just a few days, getting right into a park is probably on your agenda. But there’s no need to rush through the whole park in one day! Try a more laid-back approach: pick one headliner attraction you really want to experience and grab a FASTPASS for it as soon as you arrive.

Instead of waiting in the line, you can now slow down and just take in the atmosphere of the theme park you chose. Maybe it’s the smell of cotton candy on Main Street, USA in the Magic Kingdom or watching a crazy performance by the “Streetmosphere” characters at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that makes your day. You can always watch the amazing fountains at Epcot or go down the nature trails at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Whatever your interest, be sure to soak it all in.

However you spend your first day, be sure to end with a bang! Try making it to one of Disney’s nighttime spectaculars or maybe have a character dinner. Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort is a perfect way to celebrate being in Disney World.

However you spend your first day, be sure to pace yourself, and know that the magic has just begun.
