Here are some of the things I can think of off the top of my head....
- Get there early and plan to stay all day. You will want to squeeze in every minute you can....its one of those places you hate to leave.
- If you want to be able to enjoy the unlimited alcohol, be sure you have a designated driver or arrange transportation (taxi, town car service, etc.).
- If you are doing the dolphin swim, budget for one of the photo packages. Trust me when I say you are going to want those pictures.
- If you are getting one of the photo packages that include the photo CD, be sure to watch for the photographers in the other areas of the park and take advantage of every opportunity to add as many extra photos as you can. Those photographers can be found in the aviary, in the Freshwater Oasis, and in the lazy river (in a few different places).
- Forget the diet the day you're there and enjoy the food.
- For an earlier dolphin swim, check in early. Generally the later you arrive, the later your swim will be. This is particularly good advice to heed in the summer months when thunderstorms tend to hit in the afternoon, and morning swims are generally preferable.
- Plan for a quiet evening. If doing a Disney stay with the Dining Plan, I would forget about an ADR for this night. This would be a great time to order in and relax.....trust me when I tell you that you will be dead tired after a day in the water. Yes, its a "relaxing" day but the sun and the swimming makes a person utterly exhausted. We find we just want to go back to our villa and chillax......its the night of our vacation that we plan to just order pizza (much, much later in the evening!) and have it delivered. If you do have dinner plans, make them as late in the evening as possible as you will be FULL from all the food at DC.
I am sure other posters will also be offer some great advice of their own, too!
That's great. Thanks for the tips!
