NT fam, Im headed out to Disney World on Thursday.
I live in CA so have only been to Disneyland.
Im going for 5 days so how do you guys recommend I lay out my visits to each park? I got the park hopper and am staying at Port Orleans.
What are things I must do as a first time visitor to Disney World. This is my first and likely last visit to Disney World since Disneyland is more accessible.
Any insights are appreciated
Thanks

Definitely stay late when you go to Epcot to see the fireworks show. If you want to ride Cosmic Rewind at Epcot, then the virtual queue opens up at 7am (you can join from anywhere) and it also opens up again at 1pm if you’re in the park. Or you can just pay for the lightning lane, which is what I did to avoid waiting.
Hollywood Studios is similar to California Adventure and it’s the smallest park, so I just hit it up mid-week as kind of a rest day. Other than that, Magic Kingdom = Disneyland and Disney Springs is their version of Downtown Disney. Animal Kingdom and Epcot are really the only parks unique to Florida.
If you want, you can exchange your virtual ticket for a physical card at the ticketing booth before the park entrance. It’s a generic Disney card, but my friends wanted to get it anyway.

Animal Kingdom and EPCOT were the best ones when we went a couple years back. I wish we did more than day at animal kingdom. I’m from LA and Hollywood studios seemed like a a poor man’s CA adventure

That was pretty much my itinerary when I went last year, but keep an eye on the weather because I got caught in a rainstorm and had to squeeze in Hollywood Studios on my rest day. If you find yourself in that situation and can’t change your park reservation online/by phone, go to the Welcome Center/Guest Relations at Disney Springs. Told them I need to switch park days due to the rain and they gave me a voucher.

everyone was waiting for an hour or two at din tai fung so went to paseo instead

Greetings from Disney World.
Thanks for the advice. First visit has been great.
Havent taken too many pics but did have these to share:
Taken tonite
Been eating a lot of Orange Cream Popsicles at home so this Epcot flavor of the week Shake was perfect for me
Thought these pan dulce and churro ears were cool. My coworkers asked me to cop for them.
We ate at Be Our Guest Restaurant and got a visit from the owner.
Saw a Rhino
Guardians of Galaxy Rewind has been my favorite ride so far.
Honorable mention for Aerosmith Ride at Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood/Twilight Zone Tower ride is not as fun as CA Aventure version. I think the CA drop feels more intense and ride is more fun in general.
Thanks for the advice. First visit has been great.

Cosmic rewind at Epcot is my favorite Disney ride between Florida/California parks.
If budget is not an issue I woulda recommended the crystal palace at magic kingdom for lunch, it’s a character buffet.

Going to Disneyland with my 11 y/o son and some other family Xmas day and staying until early the next week. Won't be going to the park until the 26th but wanted to check in here for recs during the holidays and if there's anything we "must" do during that time you can't do other parts of the year. My boy is a huge Star Wars fan so we'll definitely be hitting up all the themed rides/areas.

Few pics i took this evening
Was able to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure using the genie/fast track.
Went on Tron ride twice. Paid for first ride since i didnt want to leave Orlando without riding it but then was able to get on using virtual queue at night. Night ride was even better given all the lights as shown above.
Few observations
Disneyland Space Mountain is better. Disney World version feels more dated and is a rockier ride.
DW and DL pirates of the caribbean felt like the same ride…had heard DL version was better.
It’s a Small World in DL is better. It has a greater presence in DL. DW version is inside a building without all the bells and whistles on the facade.
