Hi, Liz! Oh my goodness - your first Disney trip? I seriously cannot think of anything more exciting, but I know there's a bit of stress involved, too.
The good news is, you've got some of the big items already covered. The next piece of the puzzle is purchasing your
Walt Disney World theme park tickets. You'll want to decide the number of days you'll spend at the theme parks, and from there, whether you'll be interested in the park hopper option. This is a big decision with small children. Kids tend to get tired, and may not be able to hang all day at the park. If you think you'll want to keep your days on the shorter side, skip the option, but if you want to leave, take a nice mid-day break, and maybe come back to a different park for evening activities, it's a must have option.
Next, browse some of the amazing dining options. Do you want to do character dining, other table service experiences, or are you going to hit the many fantastic counter service options offered? Character meals book way in advance, so you want to make sure if you hope to dine with Chef Mickey or the princesses, you can make those reservations 180 days in advance. You can do it online or call 407-939-3463.
Lastly, check into any special activities. Do you want to do
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique with your 4 year old, or are there events like
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party taking place during your visit? We'd be happy to help you figure out what events you may want to not miss.
Happy planning, Liz!
