After checking in and trying to settle in for a few minutes at the resort, it's time to head to MK and hit Pirates of the Caribbean. And then maybe a Dole Whip!

since we usually have a redeye flight out if massachusetts by the time we get checked in it's around luchtime, we usually get a bite at our resort and the head to epcot (in my opinion it's the best park to hit for half a day) and end our first day watching illuminations.

We usually arrive about noon at the airport. We head for the resort, check in, then go to the MK. I just can't wait to get on main street and see that castle in the background!
Only 350 days to go! I like to get the grandkids hopped plenty early, even though their parents give a heavy sigh.

The first thing I like to do is walk down Main Street. I realize you can't get anywhere else in MK without doing it, but for me that's what really signals the beginning of a Disney vacation!

The first thing I do, is walk out onto the balcony or walkway of which ever resort we are staying at and take a long breath and remember that I am on vacation and I don't have to worry about anything except for having fun for however long we are there. Then I grab my daughter and we head to MK for haunted mansion and peter pans flight.

We always went to Epcot first. We usually do that one in two days, the other three parks we can manage in one day.

Get settled in to our room, then head to the Screen Door General Store for provisions :D . We usually arrive later in the day so we take it slow and enjoy the resort!

The first thing we do is head to Magic Kingdom..going to any other park before MK just seems wrong, haha.....run straight for splash mountain or space mountain. Once we have satisfied the mountain urges then we can relax and have fun. If it's a hot day definitely head to splash mountain first.

after checking in, settling into the room, immediately head out into Magic Kingdom and go to either "Its a small world" or "Philhar Magic", every time, every time

It's exactly what we do and then we catch Illuminations, of course!
