15 Things Every Walt Disney World Rookie Should Know

12. Don't Try to Wing It

Take time BEFORE your trip to make some plans. Download the My Disney Experience app and figure out your must-see attractions, characters, and restaurants, then prioritize those with your Fast Pass+ and dining reservations. Study park maps so you know where you’re going once you arrive. Some rookies worry that too much planning will make their vacation seem programmed and lacking in spontaneity, but planning ahead allows you to get the most out of your time at Walt Disney World. They'll still be room to be spontaneous!
