1st thing you do when you get to WDW

Well, the last time we went to Disney, we pulled into the resort after our 6 1/2 hour drive from the ATL, my sister and I took a quick restroom break and then we waited for the bus to DHS. Our parents did all of the boring check-in and luggage stuff. Yeah, we don't waste any time

I always stop, take a look around, and then take a deep breath and realize I am in the most fantastic place in the world!

It depends on when we get there. If you get there around 10am then we stop by the hotel and the go straight to a park. If you get there alittle late then we go we go to the hotel then go to Downtown Disney.

We usually go to Magic Kingdom first after checking into our Disney hotel. My son's very first ride was Small World so now he wants to make that a tradition.

The first full day we always go to Magic Kingdom and head straight for Splash mountain

A very long flight means we don't arrive until it is too late to go to a park. So we just check in, eat then sleep. First day is a long MK day

Check in; check out the pool (we never buy tickets for the first day, don't get your monies worth); order pizza; get a good nights sleep for an early start at one of the parks (usually MK the first full day)

Well, my last response was SSE at Epcot until our 2007 trip when it was closed and we went to MK the first day.

That will apparently be our new tradition as we're going back in Feb. 2009 and plan to take our dd2 to Fantasyland first so she'll hopefully not be afraid of rides. I bet tht will become our new tradition.

We usually go to MK the first day and immediately get on the WDW Railroad. The first year we went, our then 3-year-old son got on the phone with Goofy at the train station. He's wanted to start the trip there ever since.

After the train ride, we look for the barbershop quartet, the Dapper Dans, on Main Street. After listening to them, I sing a song with them.

First thing I did on this trip was go to my favorite park...EPCOT

We usually check into the hotel, grab a bite to eat, hit the pool, and then go to bed at a decent time, because we all get up early the next morning to hit the Magic Kingdom. We do the MK first every trip....and try to get up early and stay up late every day to max out our stay at each park. Mind you, we always seem to arrive at the hotel around 3pm from the airport.

Hit the Magic Kingdom first, ride the Railroad and then go over to Adventureland. Thats the best themed land at the park, and its best first thing in the morning before it gets busy.
