First Trip? Read This!
It’s hard to comprehend the BIGNESS of what you’re about to experience. When I went to Disney World for the first time, the days leading to the first day were filled of “this place can’t be THAT cool, right?” Obviously I was so wrong because it was THAT trip that made me want to be a travel agent.
It only took one!
Now, if you only take one bit of advice from this page, make it this one:
**You absolutely MUST be wearing shoes that you can walk 10 miles a day in**
I’m not even kidding.
Granted, our first trip was with very seasoned pros that raced us through parks to get on the most rides possible (which we barely scratched the surface!) but it goes to show how much there really is to do.
I’ll tell you this part now: you’re not going to see everything in one trip.
It’s just not possible.
