Hello, Sheatye and welcome to planDisney! Nothing makes us happier than helping a first-time guest add a bit more Magic to their vacation.
Shaetye, you're off to a great start in first selecting your parks. My best recommendation is to take a look at each of the parks' lists of attractions and decide which three best fit your traveling party's interests.
For example, if you have little Mouseketeers, you might find that
Magic Kingdom Park is a must-do as it has tons of family friends attractions that don't have a height requirement. If you have travel buffs that love culture,
EPCOT is the place for you! Does your family love
Star Wars? If so,
Disney's Hollywood Studios should be your first stop. Finally, if you have a travel group that loves animals and adventure, check out
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
Since this is your first visit, my personal belief is that there is nothing quite like walking down Main Street, U.S.A. and getting a photo in front of the iconic Cinderella Castle, so I would cement
Magic Kingdom Park into one of your three park spots, leaving two to claim through personal interests.
Once you pick your parks, you'll want to make
Disney Park Pass reservations (a complimentary reservation in addition to your theme park ticket that is currently required for all guests). You can do this through your
My Disney Experience Account after you have linked purchased tickets.
Next, I would encourage you to consider making
Advanced Dining Reservations if you're hoping to have any sit-down, table-service meals while you are at the park. If your group would rather grab a quick lunch or dinner, check out
THIS LINK about Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering! It's a great way to save time and eat when it fits in your park day. I recommend ordering an hour (or more) before you want to dine as you can select your pick-up window.
Sheatye, I hope this helps as you're planning for your upcoming vacation. Please come on back to planDisney with any other questions. My fellow panelists and I love offering up tips, tricks, and of course recommendations for favorite attractions, restaurants and character meet & greets!
Wishing you an unforgettable trip,
Lauren
