    What are all the “My first” experiences that Disney World offers? (In all parks/resorts)

    Hi ya, Madilyn! I hEAR some first-timers are visiting Mickey and his pals soon!  My family has many Walt Disney World traditions, but as I dig into my memory bank, I can think of a few things that are must-dos for your first trip. Hopefully, some of them become traditions for your family, too!

    *Head to any Guest Relations location or City Hall in Magic Kingdom Park and pick up your "1st Visit Buttons." I encourage everyone to wear these, from the littlest Mousketeers to the "young at heart."
    *Make sure to have a Disney PhotoPass photographer take that iconic Cinderella Castle photo (I also suggest purchasing Memory Maker before your trip, because pictures make for the best souven-EARS). 
    *Eat something Mickey-shaped! There are lots of choices: waffles, pretzels, ice cream bars, sugar cookies, and Rice Krispy treats. 
    *Get a Dole Whip from Aloha Isle and afterward visit Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room.
    *Ride the monorail. Get off and walk around each of the resorts on the loop: Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney's Contemporary Resort, and Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.
    *Book a character meal. This is a great way to meet your favorite Disney pals without the stress of waiting in line. My family's go-to is Chef Mickey's, where you can meet the Fab 5 in their chef garb. If you have Princesses in your midst, look no farther than Cinderella's Royal Table. Make a note in your calendar to reserve these meals 180 days ahead of time, as they are wildly popular!
    *Conquer all the mountains: Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Expedition Everest.
    *End your day with a bang by watching a nighttime show. Happily Ever After is my favorite, and I love watching it from Main Street, U.S.A. Get there early to stake out a perfect spot.
    *Lastly, make sure to stop and smell the roses (you can literally do this in the Canada Pavilion's Victoria Garden, which a beautiful spot in Epcot). Take time to enjoy the moment, and don't try to do everything. Save a few things for your next visit!

    I hope your trip is filled with pixie dust and magical memories, Madilyn!
