First time for Dad - what to do?

[LKLush]

Myself and my roommate are visiting WDW next year and bringing along my dad and his then-wife for their first trip ever. We're staying at BCV and they'll be down for four days. We're going to park hop, ride all the big rides, see some of the bigger shows, and visit a few nice restaurants, but my question is: (if you can remember) what do you wish you would have done on your first trip? OR What do they HAVE to see? I want it to be as perfect as possible and make him want to go back again and again. Oh, and BTW, it'll be near their first wedding anniversary, so if that helps spark some ideas - great!! Thanks for your help!

I wish we had watched more parades and took more breaks.

Take the time to enjoy each moment and don't turn the trip into a Commando Disney death march! Plan so you can get fast passes for the most popular attractions that interest you and limit line time. Then remember to take breaks, enjoy the fabulous pool at the BCV and the Boardwalk at night, and just relax as much as possible.
