Hi All!
First time poster, so be kind, it's gonna be a long one ;-). Also not sure where this should have gone... so here it is now. My dream holiday is finally coming true in October, a 20 day trip to America! I'm from Australia and this is also my first overseas trip, so I've got a lot of planning ahead of me!
I'm going with my best friends family, who have all but adopted me, and that's only really because you can't adopt a 24 year old. ;-)
Anyways, enough boringness about me. We're booked into the Art of Animation(Lion King Room!) from the 9th-29th, Keeping in mind that the 9th is basically consumed with Travel. We arrive in LA at 7am-ish, and then we're travelling to Orlando, and then using the Magic Our Way pass to get to the hotel in WDW.
So, my question is… does anyone have any tips for international travellers when doing Disney?
We're already planning on getting Disney to ship a large chunk of our purchases back home for us. We're starting with WDW, doing something (possibly NY), and then LA for 2-3 days at Disneyland, so don't want to be flying too many extra bags around the US with us.
We're planning on doing Be Out Guest, which is apparently fairly high prices for America, but compared to Australian prices are completely reasonable. BoG prices are about normal for any low-mid range restaurant/take-away here.
In a sort of a related tangent, one of the people I'm going with is picky about her food(understatement), she needs to eat fresh vegetables daily, is there anywhere on-premises she can get them and then cook them back at the hotel? I've noted there appears to be a few stalls around the parks (eg. Price Eric's) however I can't seem to find a general stock list. When it comes to eating out at restaurants, she basically only eats french-fries(Chips in Aussie land, so If I say chips, this is what I mean). It doesn't appear that many of the restaurants offer this, would Disney be able to accommodate her at places like BoG?
Anyways, enough rambling for now…

. On the Disney parks website you can research the maps of each park, to help you better navigate the parks. (This is also enjoyable while anticipating your trip!) There are also menus of each and every kiosk, cart, quick and table service restaurants that you can take a look at
. May I also recommend, just taking your time through the parks, it makes for a more enjoyable trip! I hope you enjoy your time in Orlando! Enjoy the anticipation and have a magical day!!
