Whether they have been to another Disney park or not, Disney World has some unique challenges due to its size and changing weather conditions. The parks, are totally different. Even if they have been to Disneyland, Magic Kingdom is much larger and completely foreign. Educating your kids on what to expect at Walt Disney World is the beginning of anticipation that will make the days leading up to the trip more exciting.
