My youngest daughter (who lord help me is now 19) is currently planning a Disney Vacation with her boyfriend who has never been. She asked me last night what I thought about taking first time visitors to Disney during special events, and I thought that it would be a great question to pose here as well.
Would you take a first time Disney guest to a major special event?
Is it fair to the first time guest to experience the crowds and craziness of Food & Wine, when really you just wanted them to go Epcot as a park on it's own? Would adding on an after hours party, or a tour, change the basic Park experience for them? Do you think it would be better, or worse? Are special events better for "advanced" Disney travelers that have been a time or two already? I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.
