Hey there Betsy! Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your question. Planning a first-time visit is always so special and I feel honored to help your you and your amazing adults create memories to last a lifetime.
First-time visits are such a special and fun time in anyone's life from 2 to 92. I can help from start to finish. The first place to start is the
Vacation Planning Page, this is where you will find information on the places to stay, and what parks to visit. My recommendation is always to stay inside the magic at one of the many
Disney Resorts Collection Hotels. The best part about these accommodations is they can all be linked to your park tickets and have it all in one place. The
My Disney Experience App will house your hotel accommodations, park tickets, and any dining reservations you may have making it easy to organize your visit.
When it comes to special things the
Magic Kingdom Park is near and dear to my heart and full of things I think your two very special guests will enjoy. There are obvious attractions like
Peter Pan's Flight or
it's a small world, but I would love to offer the hidden gems you may be able to look up and know how they can help your visit. A perfect place to let them explore is
Tom Sawyer Island. You can reach this secret hideaway via a log raft across the Rivers of America to wander the dusty roads and my personal favorite the creaky suspension bridge. Another terrific option is a trip on the
Walt Disney World Railroad - Main Street, U.S.A., these steam engines will take you on a 20-minute scenic 1.5-mile tour. Perfect for sore feet and any train enthusiast.
If your visit also brings you to
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park there is one place I would say is a must-do the
Affection Section located in Rafiki's Planet Watch. Here guests can meet a variety of domesticated animals and animal care experts. There is also a nice calming ride on a train to get there as well.
I hope this information helps make sure your visit this fall is a successful one. If you have any other planning needs or questions please do not hesitate to visit us again at

Have a magical day,
Jeremy A.
