Hello from TN

Welcome! I just had my first ever trip and I loved it! And yes, I kept hearing from everyone too how they didn't understand how I had never been.

Hello and to our forums, You will not be there long enough to even come close to see everything there is to see in one of the parks never mind all four. Just check out the many posts in this site and pick probably 5 or 6 of the most popular in a park, (and I would suggest Magic Kingdom) and go for it. there are wheelchairs and ECVs (scooters) for rent and that may be an option to see more of what the park offers.

to this awesome forum!

I was actually going to suggest EPCOT. It's larger, so more walking, but if you're not riding anything, you can avoid some of the "criss cross" walking pattern in the front section of the park. Also, if you aren't concerned about seeing absolutely every country in the World Showcase, you could use the boats across the World Showcase Lagoon to minimize walking. If anyone is using an ECV, this is the easiest park to navigate because it has very wide walkways and most places and it handles crowds remarkably well. At the end of April, you may run into some Easter break crowds depending on what day exactly you spend at Disney.

Also, consider whether or not they may want to do some rides. Most of the rides in EPCOT are really mild and are geared more toward making education fun and interesting than they are toward being super exciting rides. Ellen's Energy Adventure, the Seas with Nemo & Friends, and Journey into Imagination are no more intense than riding in a car and the cars glide along a level surface the entire time. They are all basically like riding through a show, so ride motion shouldn't be an issue. The Living with the Land boat ride is also very mild--same concept, just on a boat. Spaceship Earth is a very mild ride through, but it does go up very high (you're inside, so you don't actually realize it) and it moves backwards downhill (very slowly and under complete control) to return to the main level. If they have no fear of heights and can handle very mild rocking motion, Soarin' might even be a possibility. Skip Mission Space FOR SURE and probably Test Track. (Test Track is slower than the speed you would typically drive in your own car on many major highways--it tops out at 64.9mph, but the track is banked and and the test car is a convertible, so it feels more intense than it actually is. Plus, some of the motions are jerky and abrupt inside the ride. At almost 70, I would think that's a type of motion that might be unwelcome!)

Magic Kingdom is by far my favorite park, personally and it would be hard for me to take someone who had never been to Disney to a different park to the exclusion of Magic Kingdom because I would have felt like they missed SO much, but it sounds like you are planning to park hop on your one day, so you'll get the best of both worlds!

Good luck with your planning and feel free to ask any questions at all! We love to help

Hello and

I'm sure you will love this forum as much as I do! Let us know if you have any planning questions. One of my biggest tips is to make ADRs (Advanced Dining Reservations) well before you go. There are a lot of GREAT restaurants in the World

Where in TN are you? I moved to the Nashville area (Brentwood) 2 years ago and LOVE it!!

Welcome MrsABC to WDWFG! You say 60 & 69 like thats old or something? I do hope you have parkhopper tickets or else you won't be able to see both EPCOT and the Magic Kingdom.

Welcome MrsABC to our friendly forum. Sounds like you have a great trip planned.

WELCOME!

Well Ill tell you what , get them a scooter each, and they will be running circles around you and you'll be the one wore out at the end of the day. Heck I lost 5 pounds on our last trip keeping up with the DW on her scooter, she doesn't like having to use it, but she shots around like a mouse on a mission!

Welcome! your trip sounds fab

Hi and ! I think you will be just fine if you guys are planning on more of sightseeing then rides...its those line rides that take up so much time. It also helps you've focused around just two parks. Don't get me wrong, you'll still miss a lot trying to squeeze it all in to one day, but it sounds like you're aware/prepared for that, and one day will be just enough time to get bitten by the Disney bug so you can start planning a longer future trip to come back and see what you missed!

Welcome and I hope you enjoy your trip!!
