Moving to the Orlando Area : Park Touring

[BreeJae]

Hello everyone! So I'm moving the Disney World area with my fiance. I've even calculated that the Magic Kingdom will be only 36 minutes away from my front door (without traffic of course). I've been to Disney a bit in the past, though, not as often as I would have hoped. But now is my chance! We will be purchasing annual passes of course. I was wondering how I should slowly incorporate the parks into a routine by going maybe once a week or so. I know that I have a lot more time to immerse myself in everything, but for some of you who have moved into the Disney area, how did you adjust and add Disney to your routine?​

The year I lived down in Florida was working for the mouse, so we were pretty much in the parks(technically), or at Universal daily. We went to Magic mostly, esp at first.

I'd say to start easy, maybe book a dinner at the Boardwalk area, or Dtd, get some of that fun in there, go from drinks at Ragland Road, hang out.
-Pop into say, DHS for Fantasmic one night instead of going to a movie
-Pop into Magic Kingdom one morning to ride some rides, maybe have some lunch, watch the parade and that's it.

When we first got down there, we'd spend a late morning/afternoon in the parks, then we started rope dropping at least one of our days off, but we'd leave MK after the parade, and head to the GFlo or Trader Sams (sometimes both) for a drink and wait for the afternoon masses to die down before we MIGHT head back in for fireworks or rides or dep!
