The vacation countdown has ended, your boarding passes have been printed and you\u2019ve checked in online at your resort. The much-anticipated day has arrived: You\u2019re going to Walt Disney World<\/a>! You\u2019ve got plans to spend a full day at each of the four main Disney theme parks in Orlando (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney\u2019s Hollywood Studios and Disney\u2019s Animal Kingdom) and have set aside time to shop at Downtown Disney and swim at Disney\u2019s fun water parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon) during your stay. But how will you spend your day of arrival at the most magical place on earth? You may not want to burn a day of admission on your theme park tickets since you won\u2019t have a full day to spend in the parks. So what should you do? Here\u2019s a plan for a magical first day at Disney.<\/p>\n
