5. Stake out spots early for parade/fireworks/other entertainment
If this is your first time in the park, or your first time in a long time, then you have to see Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade, Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire and Happily Ever After, the new nighttime fireworks spectacular. These entertainment offerings tend to be very popular and people stake out spots early for them, so I suggest you do the same—especially if you’ve never seen them before.
