Hi Chloe. Your question makes me so happy. For my daughter's 1st trip to Walt Disney World Resort, we invited my parents and my in-laws. We planned EVERYTHING! Prior to the trip, we had a meeting with handouts, a projector, etc. I was fanatical about making sure everything was perfect! (Clearly, I was a new mom.) Even though we covered a lot of information in the notebook (yes...notebook) we provided, both sets of parents were a bit lost and completely overwhelmed. Our vacation was nothing less than magical but thinking back, it was the spontaneous moments that brought us the most joy.
I love that you want more information! Learning more about your vacation will be a gift to your daughter and will help you navigate through your vacation with more knowledge.
The Power of Magic page is a great resource! It provides in-depth planning information on topics including Special Offers, the 4 Theme Parks, 2 Water Parks and Disney Springs and Planning Tools, including information on My Disney Experience. On top of the great information, there is also a link to a vacation planning video that highlights some of the must do attractions and gives great tips. You fill out a quick form and the video will play immediately on your computer and will then give you options to view more videos as well.
I would also suggest that you get familiar with your My Disney Experience account and mobile app. On it, you can see plans, make dining reservations and FastPass+ selections, see wait times and so much more. Understanding My Disney Experience will help you as you enjoy each day's journey.
There are so many topics to cover and I would love to help you understand each one! Please take a look at the videos and planning pages and let me know if I can help answer any other questions. I'm so excited for you and I know you are going to have a magical vacation!
