How exciting!! Nothing quite like your first trip to Disney!

I think your questions have been answered expertly already, lots of good tips given! I have 2 young children (they were 18 months & 8yrs last time & will be 3 & 10yrs next time!!) and it is lovely if you can treat the children.

As I think someone mentioned, I would certainly recommend getting your mickey ears & t-shirts before you go - these can be bought at places like ebay or even Primark. It'll be nice for the children to wear something with characters on - it's a talking point when they meet their favourite princess or character! I was given a princess dress for my daughter prior to our holiday & was so pleased as they were very pricey.

Snacks were also a must for us - we took a back pack with crisps, cereal bars etc. We also took concentrated cordial (those tiny squirty cartons you can now pick up)  & topped up our water for free in the park. We tended to eat at the hotel for breakfast & take croissants etc into the park for a snack lunch on the go. We had something substantial for our evening meal. 

If you have young children that are anything like mine you may want the odd sit down meal to savour the best of Disney, but quick & easy takeaway styles are great. There are tonnes of these types of places around the park, and although they are pricey they aren't dissimilar to Alton Towers or like.

If I was to choose one place to sit & eat with the kids it'd be café Mickey - the food was relatively good last time & we saw around 5 characters that visit your table, saving queuing up in the parks for hours with little ones.

Prices for all food outlets & restaurants are available on the DLP Guide website, so you'll be add to estimate costs before you go.

Make sure you pick up a park guide as you enter the parks - planning is a must especially with little ones. Look at planning meals around the parades etc (your kids will LOVE these).

Have a magical time!!!

Download the photo pass app match it up with the details when you buy it then as long as u have Internet you can view your photos usually within a few hours.  We added ours onto the holiday at the price of £38.  We went last year & had nearly 40 photos taken so definitely worth it for us. We found all the photographers fantastic at meet & greets they would take loads of the kids & characters then always invited us in on them to
