We went the first week of Jan this year and it was really great. I’d only pack one or two pair of shorts (ho early I didn’t wear any shorts out entire trip, there was only one day during mid day that it was hot enough for them). You should also pack a few long sleeved shirts and some sort of jacket/hoodie. There was one day that it was pretty cold and I wished I brought my coat.
You can use snack credits for a create your own treat at good ya candy co in Disney springs. That is really cool because it’s kind of like an expirience for the kids. The get to choose either a rice crispy treat, cookie or I think 3 marshmallows, then a chocolate dip (dark, milk or white) and a drizzle as well as one topping such as sprinkles, crushed Oreos things like that. Then the kids get to watch them make their special treats in front of them. I also love to use a couple of credits on white chocolate covered strawberries even though they aren’t a great use of credits (I feel they are based on taste alone and the strawberries are large). Wolfgang puck express is a quick serve credit and you legit feel like it’s a table serve meal. You order and then sit down and someone brings tour meal to you and they come around periodically to ask if you need anything, you could even order a creme brûlée with them and that’s a snack credit. I also love to swing by earl of sandwhich at least once, that’s also a quick serve credit which includes an entree, drink, side and I think some kind of dessert.
We swing by the gallery in Disney springs at some point and order or buy original Disney sketches done by a Disney artist. They cost $50 for one character and go up depending on characters included but they make great Christmas presents and people are in awe that they have a Disney sketch. And the disney ornaments with personalization is also a great souvenir/present.
hollywood studios will be a great Park forall your kids, especially toy story land. If you rope drop you can get back there and then ride toy story mania a few times while the lines build for slinky dog and the character meets. (Try to grab a slinky dog fast pass or an alians fast pass) the green army men do “shows”I think every half hour and it’s great watching them stomp through the area. The lines for the character meets get really long really fast but they are in the open soif you don’t want to wait in linesyour kids can still see them (just not meet them).
my kids loved getting dressed as a prince and princess at the boppity boppity boutique in Disney springs. But its pricy.For a special expirience you can make a reservation at the barbershop in Magic Kingdom. I got my daughters first haircut there for $25 and it was betond worth the price.they called a photopass photographer, she got stickers and “wishes” in her hair and they did her hair in pig tales. They also have her a first curl with wishes in a pouch, a certificate and little first haircut ears. But the absolute best was Mary Poppins came andtalked to my daughter only it was so amazing I was on the verge of tears.
for princess meets in magic kingdom you can prioritize a fastpass for one of them or you can swing by princess hall during the 3:00 parade. The wait is 5-10 mins but after the parade is done the wait gets long pretty quick. Have your little girls and guys wear princess and prince outfits and they get so excited.
we lucked out and got to meet Elsa and Anna in Epcot alone, it was like a private meet with them. The wait was something like posted 10 mins and we walked right in, no one else was waiting to meet themso that was memorable and awesome.
but someone else may have better I do than me.
visit!
