Hi! I've been lurking for awhile here. My husband, 3yo DS and I are going to WDW the last week in October for 7 days. I am wondering if we should get park tickets for each day and which park to visit more than once?
Also any tips,
MNSSHP or F&W info, must try restaurants, etc for a first time family?
Thanks
Hi! how exciting for your first trip!
How many park tickets can depend on a lot of things. My family usually decides depending on different things.One thing I would consider is When your flight gets in and leaves. Its not worth the money to spend on extra days if you are getting in late or leaving early. Even if you do get in early you might want to relax by the pool that day then do DTD in the evening. At least thats what my family likes to do!
I would definitely do MNSSHP! It is a great experience and your DS will have so much fun watching the parade and trick or treating and the fireworks are great! That being said if you do the party thats another day I would cut out of for park passes. I would just get the party ticket then spend the morning at the pool (possibly a breakfast too) and enter MK for the party at 4pm.
The main park you will want to be with DS is MK because that is where he can ride the most rides. The second park to maybe do more then once would probably be epcot because you and your DH will really enjoy food and wine! Also make sure DS gets a paper duffy at a country and he can get a stamp from each country (the originals not F+W stands) so it gives him something to do while you guys get to enjoy the sights and food plus he won't be bored! I would do AK and DHS both once.
So that being said I would probably get a 5 day park pass (park hopper if you think you'll got to more then one park in one day) depending on what your plans are for the first and last days then you might add one or even make it a 4 day because you'll have a MNSSHP ticket too!
Tips: make sure you take breaks! They will be lifesavers with the little one.
Restaurants: I would focus on a lot of character meals!
Ohana for breakfast (Lilo, Stitch, Mickey, Pluto)
Chef Mickeys (Mickey, Donald, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto)
Tusker House for breakfast ( Donald, goofy, daisy, mickey, pluto i think!)
Hollywood and Vine if your DS watches Mickey mouse club (those characters)
Crystal Palace (Winnie the Pooh characters)
Via Napoli (italy in world showcase) one of my personal favorites (no characters)
Other comments: have fun planning! dress up for the party yes you and your DH it makes it more fun! and just have a wonderful trip whatever you decide to do
