Hi new and first time trip Disney

[Auroraborealis18]

Hi! I'm going to post other threads but wanted to say a hearty hello and how do you do. I'm a huge Disney fan and live on the East Coast with my family. We're pretty much nuts and actually visiting during spring break for the first time. I hope some of you are coming too and can offer some tips before we get there.

Around spring break we're going to Disney World for the first time. Trying to stay on budget but have a fun time. That means sit down meals for dinner and a few character meets. For souvenirs it's Walmart all the way. If time permits, the kids want to see Universal and Legoland. Likely staying off-site at Disney Springs resorts. What's your plans?

The WalMart on Vineland Rd. is the busiest WalMart I have ever seen, but they did have a nice assortment of Disney souvenirs!

What about pricing? We don't have one in the city proper. It's a county over. I haven't been to Walmart in years.

Cheaper than Disney prices but not by a whole lot. I think they have a lot of Disney stuff that is out of season!

Hmm I wonder if the clearance sales from the Disney store is better than Walmart.

There is also the Disney Character Warehouse in the Premium Outlets off of I-4 but I haven't been there yet to compare prices!

They are well liked by a lot of people. I don't know about their prices but they are mentioned all the time.

That sounds great! His sister and husband are Disney members so we have the opportunity to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge! We’re staying 5 nights. Definitely taking advantage of the Disney Dining Plan!

That is so exciting!! I thought about getting a rental from a dvc member to stay at AKL. However rentals sell out fast, especially the cheaper lodges. Which dining plan are you interested in?

That’s cool I didn’t know you could rent! I can see how they’d book fast. We’re planning on doing the basic one with one QS, one TS, and two snacks! Are you guys doing meal plans?
