    If given a choice of arrival day to Disney, would it be better to arrive on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday? Even if the plane arrives to MCO late morning or early afternoon, what's the best way to get our feet wet and get acclimated on that first day/night?

    Hi Lisa,

    Welcome to the Moms Panel, what a great question you have!  Personally, my favorite day to arrive is Sunday.  The weekends are always the busiest days in the park, and Saturday tends to be the most popular travel day (hence longer lines at the airport and resort check-in).  So we like to travel on Sunday, spend some time exploring our resort and using the swimming pool.  We will typically then either head to the Boardwalk or Downtown Disney to get an initial dose of "Disney" without having to pay theme park admission.

    Since travel day can often start early, and be a little hectic, we turn early and get up refreshed and ready to tackle the theme parks on Monday. 

    Hope this helps!
