hello, I am considering a trip with my family to Walt Disney World and after hearing a few horror stories I'm looking to get all the advice I can before I make any reservations.
Let me tell you a little about my family, there are four of us (the youngest is twelve but can sometimes have a hard time due to moisture and cold in the air causing inflammation in the legs) all of us are Disney buffs, who yearly take three days in spring to visit both Disneyland and California Adventure. When we are in the parks we usually take them at a pretty fast pace as to get the most attractions in a day possible. We also tend to eat mostly snacks (the corn dog for breakfast, bangle bar b que for lunch, and usually a the main street café for dinner, along with the occasional Popcorn or ice cream bar) also because several of us have a hard time moving around we typically rent ECVs to help us not have to deal with pain. I haven't got a bdget worked out yet, but I was thinking a late December visit as We would want to spend Christmas as well as a birthday that occurs in the same week at the resort.
My questions are as follows:
How much would say, a week at a Disney resort typically cost me as far as things like food, and maybe a stay at a moderate resort?
Which resort has the best (by which I mean most curious, timely, and effective) staff?
what is the travel between the parks, and hotels like? Which hotel has the best transport to and from?
I've heard of families taking mid-day breaks, should I make that a plan for the time of year I'm looking into?
Is the Disney dining plan worth the money?
what rides are must do? What rides are better in the Florida parks compared to the California parks?
what are the best tips you can give to a first timer?
Thanks for your help.
