Character meeting is one of the most exciting things about Disney World! But if you are a little kid, this can be a bit intimidating and scary. Before your trip, show your little one YouTube videos of young children like themselves meeting Disney characters. This way they get an idea of what to expect and how big these characters can be in real life. Make an autograph book to bring on your vacation. This will be a good icebreaker for kids to approach their real-life heroes.
Souvenirs can be quite pricey at the park. But when your children want a piece of the magic, it’s hard to say no. A great tip is to purchase souvenirs beforehand and bring them with you on your trip. You can get fantastic Disney items for 75% less than what they would cost at the park. A surprise goodie bag every morning is a wonderful way for them to feel like they have something they can bring home with them to remember their pleasant trip by without breaking the bank.
