I made my first visit to Walt Disney World last May at the age of 26. First of all, I thought I was too old to enjoy a visit to Disney World and that I’d just have to wait until I had kids someday to enjoy the parks. I quickly learned that Disney is for all ages and I can’t wait to return again in 2017 with my family.
I made the trip with my boyfriend who has visited the parks countless times, so I didn’t put much research into the already last-minute vacation. I had an amazing time, but looking back there are a few things I wish I would have done differently. I”ll share them below so hopefully you won’t repeat my mistakes!
Mistake #1: Not Using Package Pickup
Mistake #2: Not Purchasing Gifts When I Saw Them
Mistake #3: Not Taking More Breaks
Mistake #4: Not Arriving For a Rope Drop (At Least Once)
Mistake #5: Not Easing Into Riding Rollercoasters
Mistake #6: Not Booking Disney FastPass+ in Advance
Now that I’ve made my first visit to Walt Disney World I can’t wait to return. I’m already planning a trip for 2017. Let me know of any “mistakes” you made during your visit or any other Disney advice you’d like to share.

These are some great tips for visiting Disney. It is also to buy things and have to carry them around all day. You have to have a perfect plan so you can get in as much as possible. Thank you for sharing these mistakes
You are never to old for Disney. There are so many fun rides there and many fun things to see. I am glad you got to go. Thank you for sharing
You are so right, Linda! I am glad I went and I can’t wait to return either, haha.
I plan on taking my grandchildren to Disney this summer. Your mistakes will help me out when I go. Thank you for sharing these.
Thanks for the awesome tips! I have done the same things, especially thinking to myself “I’ll come back and get that souvenir later….” eeek..
Taking breaks is so important to a fun trip! Oh well, you’ll just have to go again 🙂
I’m kind of afraid to go to a park as big as Disney World. I’m not a fan of being crammed in one place with so many people.
Hey Stephanie, it was surprisingly not that crowded during my visit which was around the end of April. And everyone was in such a good mood because we were all having fun that it was really an enjoyable visit.
