Arrival day at Disney
Do you immediately go to the parks or do you take that 1st day to relax at the hotel, go to Downtown Disney, or something else along those lines?

Re: Arrival day at Disney
We initially didn't plan on it.....BUT when you get there, how do you not! We droped the bags off & were in the park by around lunchtime.

Which park did you do first? It wouldnt be a full day we dont land till 1120 i figure we'll be at the hotel around 1-130? The kids will have to eat too so now im not sure what to do.

Re: Arrival day at Disney
Go to MK that day. No way I am wasting a day, the first exciting day! I always go to the Magic Kingdom.

Re: Arrival day at Disney
MK! We drove down & planned a stop in St Augustine. Had we had known we'd make such great timing, we would have gone straight to Disney & been their for the morning. So we got there late morning, so by the time we checked-in. They actually were going to text us, when the room was ready & we were going to head to MK. But they texted just as we were going to head to the monorail.
So we dropped the bags off & went. No schedule, no agenda...just purly enjoyed the rides/parades, etc.

Re: Arrival day at Disney
We get there early so we hit the park at lunchtime. We got to have lunch at BOG this time and then ride a few favorites that had shorter lines to get in the mood. If we arrived later I probably wouldn't bother but we get to the park around 12 or 1. Next trip I might take a bit later flight and hang out at the pool and have a relaxing day. So I guess it really depends on what time you arrive. If you can get to the parks around 11-1 you could stay until 5 or 6 and get a decent amount of time then a good night sleep for an early start the next day. See if you get in later then you feel the need to stay in the parks later and you probably want to get up the next day for rope drop.

Re: Arrival day at Disney
Def hit the parks, but dont try to do too much. We had a 6:00 flight in the morning, went to MK all day, went back to the hotel for a short while, then went over to epcot..by the time we got to epcot, all 4 of the boys were sleeping (and we only had 1 double stroller), so 2 had to be held, and we literally felt like crying! Funny now, but not so much then!

Re: Arrival day at Disney
We usually go to Downtown Disney for food, shopping, just wetting our toes into the Disney experience.
Then we get to a park early the next morning.

This is what we did as well (but, we were offsite and in a timeshare so we stocked up and such that day).

This is what we did. Between early travel and needing a shower, food and a good night sleep I wanted to be wide awake and feeling fresh. Just did downtown Disney when we got ther.
