What should we do on our first day

[Pluto]

Hi

We will be arriving in Orlando on a Friday at 1530 hours.
What should we do on our first day (Saturday). Is it best to have a quiet day or should we just get straight into it We are a group of 6, 30 somethings to 60 somethings!

I think you may be best getting in the supplies, from Walmart or Publix. Then you can always dine out somewhere or even eat in by your pool. I usually like to relax after the long flight over, with a few beers by the pool. Then you can plan your first full day. Remember it can be a very hectic holiday, so chill out when you can.

Have a nice holiday [msnsmile]

The first day we always spend getting our supplies - Wal Mart by the gate, then we relax by the pool, too tired to do anything else.

I always find that although you have spent ages travelling to get to Florida you're always up bright and early the next day. If you have somewhere on your iteniary that you have to get up early for I would advise visiting this place. Make sure though that it is not somewhere where you need a lot of hours as you will probably tire by mid afternnon.

First, be sure that you have sorted out your supplies on the day of arrival (Friday). I would suggest ordering the evening meal into the villa to save time and energy while you are settling in.

For the following day, the westward jet lag hits you by evening and so keep a 'start early - finish early' park for Saturday. Animal Kingdom is a good bet since Saturdays are non-EMH days there and should not be too crowded.

Get straight into it.
I love going to Seaworld on my first full day. I wouldn't waste a day just getting supplies in.
Never feel tired, can't wait to get going. Rest when the holiday is over.
After arriving at our home we go straight to the local publix or 24 hour walmart.

Have to confess, we get straight into our hols Really depends on what activities you have planned? As we mainly Theme Park and shop, we tend to go for Theme park, then lunch & swim time, then either more parks or a shop, dinner and generally more park!! We certainly do not sit round the pool ALL day on our first day, though we do tend to have an eary night[8D]

We would get supplies in on the day we arrive and then have an early night. On our first full day we always go to the Magic Kingdom in time for the opening ceremony. I can't imagine starting the holiday any other way.

A whole day to get supplies in and laze by the pool is a wasted day in my eyes!!!!! Maybe thats why we are so knackered when we get back!

The first day is the ONLY day we are up early so tend to hit a theme park that day.[msnsmile2]
