What do you wish you had known before your 1st Florida holiday?

Mine would be that we would go again and not to cram everything in as it was exhausting although fun.

Plan especially if there is some rides your children really want to do or characters they want to meet.

Pin exchange my kids really really enjoyed this as did my husband we only found out on our second trip.

You can get your water bottles filled free in the parks and we find the water fine to drink.

The first few days you will be up really early make the most of it.

The kitchen sink at beaches and cream is amazing only ever manged to get booked in on one holiday but try everytime

Most of all remember to relax and enjoy it some of the little things are easily missed I found as were rushing round trying to do everything the first time.

That we would still be going 35yrs later!

That we would return three years on the trot. Enjoy every minute.

To take things a lot easier, it isn't bootcamp.

How addictive it would be!

Bring more shoes than you think you need. Between walking for miles, hot / wet weather and general fatigue, my best advice is to bring several pairs of comfortable & supportive shoes and change shoes in the middle of the day. Even if it means getting a Main Street locker rather than returning to your hotel, it's completely worth it. Blisters and painful feet can ruin everything else.

Also don't over plan. It takes close to an hour to get from place to place (park to park or park to hotel, etc.). Our first trip we thought that "park hopping" would be no problem, but everything took much more time than we thought it would. Things may not be that far apart, but with all the transportation options and all the people, patience is needed!

That I would be back many times and I didn't have to fit in every park

Watch the parades/fireworks, not your phone screen. There will be significantly better videos on YouTube than what you shoot, the majority of which'll be the back of the person in fronts head!
