I’m so glad you stopped by here at planDisney, Jennifer. I’m happy to offer some input from my own experience.
Of course, you know your children better than anyone else, but I would say that you might be better off skipping the theme park on that first day. Afternoons in the parks tend to be a bit more crowded than earlier morning visits, and if heat is a factor, your kids might benefit from some downtime exploring the great outdoors around
The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. It’s a beautiful location and there is a lot to see right in your backyard. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have your swimwear easily accessible; you could always spend some time on the
pool deck while you wait for your cabin to be ready.
Have you made plans for dinner on your first night?
Whispering Canyon Cafe is nearby and serves up both hearty fare and lots of fun. It would be a meal worthy of any arrival night celebration.
No matter what you choose to do when you get there, Jennifer, I’d recommend making sure your kiddos are well-rested for a bright and early start the next morning. Your first full Disney day is sure to be a magical experience. I'm wishing you all an unforgettable trip!
