Hi Gianna. Welcome to planDisney.
I am ticked
polka-dotted pink to help you with your first-time visit! I am seriously so excited for you! I happened to be on your side of our "small world"
in June, visiting Disneyland, and had the best time. Okay, as much as I'd love to chit-chat, we have SO MUCH to talk about, so let's jump right to your question.
There really isn't a better day of the week to visit a certain park; however, I wouldn't recommend visiting Magic Kingdom on a night when they close early for
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party unless you have a party ticket. At Magic Kingdom, TRON Lightcycle / Run and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train are very popular. Looking at dining, The Crystal Palace is a character meal buffet, and at breakfast, you can dine on the deliciously famous Mickey Churro Waffles! Unique dining experiences, such as Be Our Guest Restaurant and Jungle Navigation Co., LTD. Skipper Canteen, are also fun options. In Walt Disney World, we love our DOLE Whips, so be sure to stop by Aloha Isle. Above all, Gianna, make sure to stay for the fireworks show,
Happily Ever After. Find a spot in front of Cinderella Castle to watch my favorite nighttime show in any Disney park.
At EPCOT, you'll discover a World Showcase featuring an actual world of authentic restaurants. Pick your favorite cuisine, and you'll most likely find it in EPCOT. My suggestion, however, is to enjoy the
Food & Wine Festival that you'll happen to be in town for. Take your time to sample the foods as you stroll through each country's pavilion. It's an amazing experience. If you're looking for an out-of-this-world dining experience, be sure to visit
Space 220! EPCOT also boasts attractions like Test Track and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. However, THE must-do attraction in ALL of Walt Disney World is
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. It offers a unique ride experience you won't find anywhere else!
At Hollywood Studios, you'll find many rides similar to those in both California parks. However, what makes this park unique are attractions like the Tower of Terror, Slinky Dog Dash, and Rock' n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith. Don't miss the fun new show, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After. When it comes to unique dining experiences, this park is the place to be. Roundup Rodeo BBQ and the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant are entertaining options. My personal favorite is the
50's Prime Time Café, where you'll be treated like family—but don't forget to keep your elbows off the table!
Finally, at Animal Kingdom, be sure to experience Kilimanjaro Safaris, Expedition Everest, and Avatar Flight of Passage. For a quick and easy meal, I love mobile ordering at Satu'li Canteen, and the Nomad Lounge is a great place to relax and unwind. And if you are looking for some adventure, check out
Wild Africa Trek! Gianna, if only I had room to go on! I hope this helps get you started on creating your must-do list! As you look over all the magical offerings, please don't hesitate for a moment to stop back by and ask us about anything. We'll be here.
Gianna, it's been my pleasure to help.
