For a lot of kids and kids at heart, the Happiest Place on Earth remains one of the best destinations to be. If you’re planning to take your kids to Disneyland for the first time, though, here are a few tips to help you survive the experience.
Be ready to walk and run. A lot.
Expect to run around a lot. Wear comfortable shoes. Bring along a water bottle to help you stay hydrated as you and your kids bop over from one ride and attraction to another.
Buy tickets in advance
The last thing you want is to wait in line when you get there. Buy those tickets in advance. You can scout around for Orlando Family vacation packages that offer tickets to theme parks like Disneyland, Universal Studios, and even SeaWorld.
Research
Know the details. Find out what time the park opens and get there twenty minutes early. If you can, pick a date when the park opens an hour or two earlier. That way, you can walk into many of the popular rides without the crazy, long lines, PopSugar says.
Come early
Beat the long lines by getting there early then enjoy a more leisurely pace in the afternoon. If you get to the park by noon, plan on staying until the fireworks. Many of the popular rides have shorter lines at night. However, that only works if you don’t pick Holidays or peak dates.
Do your homework
Plot your way around the park. Decide which attractions to go to. The theme park is huge. You won’t get to see all the attractions but make sure your kids get to see the characters they love. That’s going to make for a memorable vacation.
Choose a package
If you want a more convenient way to plan the trip, look for Orlando Family vacation packages. Pick one that offers hotel accommodations, tours, flights, and more. That should make it easier for you to make arrangements for the trip beforehand.
Be prepared
Your kids aren’t going to magically transform because you’re in a magical place. Keep them from having temper tantrums by bringing along their snacks or favorite toys. That’s one way to stave off a melt-down.
Be flexible
A lot of things won’t go along with your plans. Have fun. Savor the moment, especially if this is your children’s first visit to the theme park. There’s nothing quite like it.
