My main tips for a first time trip would be to pace yourself, drink loads of water, wear the comfiest trainers or sandals you own. Take breaks. One of my favourite things to do is get up early go for park open schedule 3 fast passes that morning. You can then book another fast pass for later in the evening. Then head back to your hotel at like 1:30/2. Have a break from the heat, relax by the pool, freshen up and head out to a park or Disney springs from like 6pm. Catch the fireworks.
You can get free ice water from any quick service restaurant sometimes they have it out on the side or you can just ask a cast member.
Try and ride 7 dwarfs mine train whilst happily ever after is on it’s a totally different perspective watching from fantasy land.
plan your days but leave a few days blank so you can be spontaneous.
try and avoid the parks at weekend. Schedule your shopping days or head to the beach, or go to the parks early. And get out of there before it gets busy. Or hit a water park.
Book some sit meals Disney springs has some amazing options. In fact Disney springs at night is fantastic.
maybe got to Kissamee old town when they have the car show. It’s a completely different vibe to Disney.
Make sure you go to guest relations and get a first visit pin all the cast members will make an effort to make you feel special if they see the badge.
you won’t get everything done. So don’t pressure yourself. Make a list of your must dos and just soak it in. Some of my best times in The parks have been wandering round, people watching and taking pictures.
make use of the photopass photographers!
