I have been to Disney plenty of times, but I am going with my DH and his two kids for the first time this summer. DS8 DD6. Since these kids have never done rides before, we have no idea what their thrill level will be. We don't even know what height rides they will match up for. So we are starting with the smallest rides. Anticipating a medium thrill. So probably no space, rockin, tot, ETC.
He gets them for the summer so we will know it will be hot.
4 days no park hopping.
MK, EPCTO, HS, MK
Staying at All Stars. Will be doing early entry, afternoon break either at our hotel/pool or just an afternoon lunch at a nearby hotel to get out of the heat (contemporary).
Day 1 will be riding transportation and telling them about the trip showing them the parks. They've never been to even a carnival so disney is their first ever theme park/ride experience
Day 2. MK. This might be controversial, but we are thinking of early entrying Barnstormer, then dumbo, then tea party because they're more mild than 7dmt. Then queuing up for mansion, unless they're not a big fan of a haunted house, then either getting in line for peter pan or shooting across for pirates. Magic Kingdom isn't a big rush day since we will be coming back. Filling in with some rides maybe meet and greets and enchanted tales. Leave for break. Come back a few rides, fireworks, end day.
Day 3. EPCOT. DD6 is a Frozen fanatic. We were thinking of early entry frozen then going to remy. But I know frozen is such a popular ride if it might not be worth it? We will be doing it 100% unless technical issues. Plus meet and greet with the duo. Would it be better to do test track, soarin, nemo and just face that frozen and remy will be out two lines of the day?
Day 4 Rest/pool
Day 5 Hollywood Studios. Early entry thinking of heading to MMRR first. I know we wont beat the rush to ROTR or Slinky. So thinking MMRR, star tours, MFSR? Then ROTR? Anticipating ROTR and Slinky to be the long lines of the day? Can split them on either side of the noon break. return for fantasmic
Day 6. Magic Kingdom. Early entry. Depending on how the rest of the week went and their coaster thrill level, will probably either do 7DMT or peter pan if they didn't end up liking coasters. Go from there.
What do you guys think for a first trip for kids? We're kinda shooting in the dark but are trying to get a baseline.
