Beyond the Basic - First Time Visitor Ideas

[Paul Rodgers]

Hi Everyone!
We're bringing my youngest cousin with us down on our trip. So it'll be the four of us (22,19,17,13), with the other two being my cousins/his older siblings (but they don't live with him). It's his first time at Disney, and he's had an incredibly rough year. We're driving down and back. Any ideas on how to make it a bit more special for his first time, besides just the pin?

Watching thread...my 27 year old cousin will be joining us in August, and same. I really want to make it special for her for first time!!

I have done are few things for family...We have ordered from Disney florist and our family has loved the gifts. I am a planner so this time I am making gifts bags for my kids to be from Mickey. I have also made necklaces and keychains for family members. I would suggest looking into a dessert party (we are doing that this time.), a fireworks cruise, or a special dinner. They can be pricey but I think the memories associated with it are well worth the price. My husband's first trip was when he was 28 and I did a few things but the general magic of Disney was something he said was special.

I'll second the fireworks cruise. A bit pricey, but then again if you can find four other people to split it with you, it's not too bad. I've done one in Epcot and one at The Magic Kingdom. Both were neat and you kinda feel like a VIP.
