I dunno if this counts as a tip really. On our visit last year we had noticed all these people walking round with "first visit" badges, with no advertisements or suggestions on where they may have got them so literally all we did was ask a lady in a shop and she asked us was it our first visit - not technically a lie, it was our first trip to WDW however this was like our 3rd or 4th day there so technically we had been there 3/4 times already? So we just said yes, and she handed us 4 first visit badges.
