How do you spend your first night of a Disney vacation? ربح المال مجانا Do you arrive early enough to hit the ground running and head right to the parks? مواقع المراهنات العالمية Or do you save a park day on your ticket and hang out at the resort for the night? I found a thread on the DISboards discussing this and thought it was interesting to read how each family handles the first night of their trip.
The original poster, ophelia2002, asks, “I’m looking for suggestions. We will be flying in and get to our resort (AoA) around 2-3 PM so I didn’t see the purpose in getting tickets for that first night. But I would like to do something Disney related. I was thinking either Downtown Disney or Boardwalk. Any other ideas? “ Here are some of the responses:
bookgirl: A few years ago I came in late afternoon , so I did a transportation crawl. I had never ridden the monorail or ferry on my prior trips. I ate an early dinner at my resort then took a bus to MK, got on the ferry and went to TTC, grabbed a Monorail around the resorts, then took the Monorail to Epcot and back, then came back to TTC and took the Ferry again. Then a bus back to my resort. I just basically wanted to kill an hour or two. You could expand this to a whole evening and visit inside the monorail resorts, or add in a boat over to Fort Wilderness and watch the Chip and Dale sing along, or play at the playground. I like just wandering around and riding stuff.
myrtleturtle: We get in around 1. My plan is to build my “nest” in the resort while DH and the kids play in the pool. Then we will walk to the Poly (staying at SoG), walk to the TTC to activate our tickets, ride the monorail to Contemporary and have dinner at Chef Mickey’s.

keepswimming76: Plan a special dinner that night, go to DTD, or just explore the resort. Our kids love to swim and play in the arcade so that can eat up an afternoon in and of itself.
mom2cgj: Our first night plan is the Pirates and Pals cruise. Last time we did Downtown Disney.
mandis77: We have little kids so we just stay at the resort the first day/evening, swim and get to bed early. But something I’d love to do is go see a show Hoop-Dee-Doo or La Nouba.
ElenaRN: if the kids are old enough what about miniature golf?
Thing1: Plenty of non park ideas but a park is not a bad choice either. It really cost very little to add one day to a multi-day ticket. We often arrive early to mid-afternoon and upon arrival we try to find a new to us ADR in the WS in Epcot. We head over for just a few hours and dinner then get to bed early for a early start at MK the next am. It cost us way less than we would spend in DTD and we love that first day in the park. العاب لربح المال على النت
mcjaco: DTD. Earl of Sandwich. Enough said.
What do you do on your arrival day? Are any of these ideas similar to your family’s plans?
