First time going to Disney

#bucketlist

I had never been to Disney until I had my baby girl.

Seeing her smile and seeing the characters she loves made her so happy, which put a smile on my face.

But the question is … Would I go back?

I definitely will go back when my daughter is a bit older than 3 years old. The struggle of standing for so long even though we had the buzz lighting / thunder pass (express lane) was quite some time-consuming. We couldn’t finish the whole park.

We visited

Animal kingdom

& Magic Kingdom

... Read moreAs a first-time visitor to Disney, the magic of the parks is truly unforgettable, especially when sharing the experience with your child. Planning your visit can significantly enhance your experience, so consider visiting during off-peak times to avoid long lines. The Genie+ system, which replaces the older FastPass system, allows you to reserve access to popular attractions, potentially saving you time in the queues. For families with young children, focusing on a few key experiences may be more enjoyable than trying to see everything. Attractions like 'It's a Small World' or character meet-and-greets can create lasting memories. Also, remember to hydrate and take breaks; a day at Disney can be overwhelming for little ones. Lastly, capturing those magical moments with plenty of photos and videos will ensure the memories last a lifetime.
