First time going to Disneyworld! Any Advice?

[shadowdreamer]

I am going to save alot of my money just for Disney world Japan. I don't live where any nintendo world stores are...So I guess I will have to get me a pokedoll from there. I am so excited.

Also, Today is my birthday, so my grandpa called me at midnight and told me the exact dates we were going to disney....He and my grandma surprised me by saying we are leaving on a sunday, going the whole week, and coming home the following sunday. I am so happy! They did that so we don't feel as rushed. So we can go 1,2,3,4 days, one in each park, then take a day off or a half day off if we needed it, then have about an extra day or a day and a half to go and do what we did not get to do during the first day. I am very excited for all this.

Happy Birthday!!
 I say Magic Kingdom and Epcot are my top two parks, followed by MGM/Hollywood Studios, Downtown Disney, Animal Kingdom....then there's the Water Parks Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon...ahh...there's so much fun to have there. Me and my mom are also going to be stopping at Universal Islands of Adventure this year to go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter again. I love it there!

You're going to have so much fun!


Also, there's only one Nintendo World store, and it's in NYC.
However there are also Pokemon Center stores in Japan, 7 of them!
Osaka Pokecen, Tokyo Pokecen, Tohoku Pokecen, Sapporo Pokecen, Yokohama Pokecen, Nagoya Pokecen,Fukuoka Pokecen!

Awww I made my highschool senior trip to disney too :'3


If you're gonna go see the characters:

get one of those flyers that tell you where and when to meet the characters, it's loads and loads of fun! They get especially excited when they see older kids and young adults taking pics with them

though the line for meeting the princesses at Magic Kingdom is a bit long


As others have already mentioned take food and water, sandwiches are quick to make, light and yummy

Go to the parks as soon as they open and leave as late as possible! Take a day or two to rest if you have time

The night shows are amazing, see them

If you're gonna buy souvenirs I suggest you to check the shops first and buy last, take your time, a lot of the shops sell similar products

Oh I am gonna see the characters. I will probably get auto graphs and pictures. Thank you for the advice Silver, we actually planned one free day so we can rest.


Thanks Mel,  I don't like water, so no  water parks for me. I would go to universal, but I only like the Harry Potter.  Yeah I live in Mississippi, I am not getting to NYC anytime soon. I might check that link out.

My advice to you is...

TO HAVE AN AWESOMELY AMAZING TIME!!

Disney World is my home away from home and I just LOVE everything about it!! HAVE FUN!!

1.  My favorite experience is the Tiki Tiki Room!!  Assuming it is restored to its original song and story and is not "Under New Management".  I heard that it was restored, but I haven't been back in years so I don't know.  The original Tiki Tiki Room is my favorite thing at Disney.

2.  Epcot is amazing.  It is my favorite of the parks. 

3.  Buy sunblock before you get there (It is crazy expensive at the parks).  Sunblock 15 minutes before you get to the park so it soaks in and is not sweated off right away.  Reapply several times during the day.  Wear a stronger rating of sunblock, you are going to be in the sun all day long!  Even if you think you don't burn, you do need it. 

4.  Wear your hair up, in a ponytail, or in a braid/s.  Wear a hat or visor.  Wear sneakers or other comfy shoes.  Fanny packs are the best purse at a park to keep your hands free (but wear it in the front so it is not easy to pick-pocket).  You may not be a beauty queen in this getup, but you'll be more mobile and comfortable.  Oh and put a small hankie or cloth in your bag, you will sweat a lot and you'll be the only one smart enough to have something handy to dab at your face. 

5.  If you are prone to headaches keep a few aspirins or something on you for them.  It is expensive otherwise.

6.  Keep hydrated.  Drink water or something!  Don't forget! 

7.  Take a break and just sit and watch everyone go by.  You'll have fun seeing everyone else have fun.  Watch the kids too.  It is terribly fun to see a kid meet Cinderella for the first time. 

8.  If you think this is the only time you will ever go, do everything you want to do and can fit in.     Carpe Diem!  Splurge if you love it and can afford it.  I still regret not buying a toy I saw when I went.
