Last minute Disney Trip, need help!

So we are going to Disney, and talk about last minute, tomorrow! We are just going for the weekend. Isabella is still little so I really just want to focus on the Magic Kingdom. She loves Mickey and the gang and the princesses. I'm not looking to cover everything in one trip. So, those who have been. What should I quickly look into???????? Thank you!

Quick reply:

Make sure you tell them when you walk in that it's her first trip.. they will give her a sticker (even if it isnt just say so and usually some special arrangement for the evening fireworks if you decide to see those.

Magic Kingdom..
See the castle of course
There's usually a traveling parade that happens often during the day and there's a day time and night time main street parade.. of course the evening one has all the cool lights.
Take the train around the park
Call ahead for meal reservations if you intend on eating in the park and you can get a cool float and take home mug at the resturant up front as you enter.. (park something)
Go to the Disney site for more info.. they help list a whole lots of things you can do with young children.

Thanks so much for your reply!

So cute they give them a sticker!

Re: Last minute Disney Trip, need help!

They give stickers to kids all over the park you don't even have to ask! We got back a few weeks ago. If you are staying on property tell them at check in that it is your DD's first trip and they will give her a 1st trip button. If you aren't staying on property go to guest relations in the MK and tell them they will give you the same button.

If she loves princesses - let her wear a princess dress for the day if you have one - the kids who wore them got SO much attention from Cast members calling them Princess ______ etc. I noticed the little girls really beamed when they were acknowledged.

Take advantage of fast pass the lines on weekends can get pretty long.

BTW if there is a princess that your DD wants to see ask a cast member if they will be making an appearance, where and when. I know there were several princess meet and greets going on while we were there - some were in Toontown.

You could try to get an ADR for Cinderella's castle - they are usually sold out but if you keep calling and don't care what meal you eat (B or L - dinner is just the Fairy Godmother) you might get a cancellation.

Re: Last minute Disney Trip, need help!

This is what we did and it worked out really well. We went straight up to the castle, and there was a great show going on (Mickey, Minnie, princesses, etc...) Then we went behind the castle, where all the good kid rides are- Dumbo, It's a Small World, Poohs Adventure, Carousel, Snow White (which DS didn't like, it was kind of scary.) Then we went down to the right for the kidde area that has a playground and splash park area. We then backtracked and went to Pirates of the Carribean and the Magic Carpet. That was pretty much a full day. We had planned to let the kids nap and then come back for fireworks, but both DS and our friends DS passed out for the night after all of that excitement.
