Have Fun On The First Day Of Your Walt Disney World Vacation

By Courtney Agnello

Planning a Walt Disney World vacation can take a ton of time and effort. So, when the day comes for you to arrive in the Happiest Place on Earth, follow these suggestions to set the tone of your cherished Walt Disney World vacation. Having fun on your arrival day can set the mood for the rest of the trip.

After a long day (or days) of traveling, you might consider spending your first day in Walt Disney World at your resort instead of going to a theme park. I know, I know, you may be itching to get to some rides, but many options at the resorts can be very relaxing and set a great tone for the rest of the trip.

Ease in to the experience by taking a swim, explore the resort grounds and participate in some of the activities going on there. You will be glad when you awake the next day rested and ready to take on the World!

Sometimes, taking a rest is just not an option. Maybe you are short on time, or you just have to spend every waking moment in a Disney theme park while in Disney World. No worries, head straight for the theme parks on your first day. Be sure, though, to grab a FASTPASS for your favorite attraction so that you don't have to spend time waiting in line.

Then stop and smell the roses while you wait for the return time - watch the zany Streetmosphere performers in Disney's Hollywood Studios or get a dazzling hairstyle with colored gel and "Mickey Dust" at the Harmony Barbershop in the Magic Kingdom Park. Eat a Mickey Bar and watch the spectacular fountains in Epcot or wander around the trunk of the Tree of Life in Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Be open to just letting the magic happen!

Top off your first Disney day with something that provides true Disney magic. Maybe take in a nighttime spectacular, or have dinner with Mickey Mouse at Chef Mickey's. It's an eating experience put on by the Big Cheese, himself, and it's sure to please. For a slower pace at the end of your day, try a relaxing ride on the monorail or maybe try some of the shops in Downtown Disney.

Whatever you choose to do on your first day in Walt Disney World, be sure to know that you have plenty of magic in store for the rest of your trip, and be sure to relax so that you can truly enjoy the magic of Disney. - 29955
