I’ve been to Orlando many, many times, so I’m a bit of a Disney World aficionado. I do remember the first time I visited though, jeez there was so much to do and see. Worst of all I only had a couple of day’s to cram it all in.
So what did I do? Well, I did try and visit too many parks. You see, Disney World itself has four main theme parks, Universal has a couple, Seaworld has one or two and theres a few other minor attractions dotted around. You have to really play up front which of those parks to go to. I mean, I reckon Magic Kingdom takes at least two days to get the full experience.
I also over-purchased on my Disney Tickets. I sort of expected that I could visit loads of parks in a day. You can (in theory) but you’ll need another vacation if you try. My advice is to decide what you want to do in Orlando and stick to that plan. By all means be flexible, but do have some sort of itinerary.
