Creator's Key Takeaways

I would not recommend doing all table service restaurants because that's a trap my family fell in on that first trip

Always mobile order. It saves you so much time and you can it's easier to customize things

Disney Cruise Line not as stressful. They make it kind of easy for you once you're on that ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Utilize mobile ordering at Walt Disney World to save time
✓Build in breaks for first-timers at Disney parks
✓Stay at Pop Century Resort for a first-time Walt Disney World trip
✓Add Lightning Lane and Park Hopper to Disneyland tickets
✓Take first-timers to see parades and character interactions at Disneyland
✓Start with a 3- or 4-night Bahamian Disney Cruise for first-timers

Overwhelming dining options at Walt Disney World — Don't do all table service restaurants; spread them out and do a sampling of different experiences
Not knowing about advanced dining reservations (ADRs) — Make ADRs in advance, especially with a dining plan
Feeling rushed at Disneyland compared to Walt Disney World — Slow down, enjoy the moment, and take advantage of benches and snacks
