Hi cookie monster-- why are you wasting your money to go to Disneyworld if you've been to Disneyland so many times? Same company, maybe a few different rides-and there's Universal- which is better than Disneyworld..if I were you, I would find somewhere else to go that you've never been before---you will be disappointed --they're like twin sisters!!!

Air flight is a piece of cake- in fact, I enjoy the flight as much as the vacation itself-- make sure you get a window seat and if possible, the seats near the exit doors-- there's more leg room.....the views are spectacular and take off and landing is a ride better than anything you will ever experience at Disneyworld, Disneyland or Universal studios!!

Disney world is a completely different experience. The Disney property is enormous and SAFE. There is so much more to do than what you would have at Disneyland. I hope you get to stay at one o fthe disney hotels becuase tht is an experience in itself. You are going to have the best time. If you feel more comfortable with information make sure you pick up a map of the kissimmee area which is the actual location of Disney.
Flying is safe don't stress yourself out about that. Check to see if the airline will be showing a movie or if it has the monitors on the seta backs, these amenities take your mind off the flying, it will be like riding in a big Bus. :) Bring some things you like with you a travel game, magazine, puzzle book, ipod, etc. Honey you are going to be fine.
As far as it being far from where you live are you going alone, if so just keep to the Disney property for your first trip. Once you get more comfortable with the surroundings explore the area.
I wish you all the best. Have Fun & Be Safe.

WDW is so much bigger then Disneyland. It's like a whole other world in itself...just as the name suggests. You'll love it. I was hooked the first time I went and have been there 11 times since I was 4. I hope to start taking my son soon when he gets a little older. It really is a magical place!

Go for it! You're gonna have a blast. Here's what I can tell you....

Tips: Best Times To Go
• Second week of January through mid-February: The holiday crowds have cleared out, and park attendance is usually at the lowest levels of the year. Hotels run some great deals during this period.
• May: The weather is great, and the summer traffic hasn’t picked up yet.
• Late August through September: Even during Labor Day weekend, the crowds are low and prices on hotels are very reasonable.
Tips: Worst Times To Go
• Mid-February through Easter: As Spring Breaks occur throughout the country, attendance at the park is at some of the highest rates all year. Hotels usually have high rates this time of year.
• June through early August: In summary, it’s HOT, crowded, and pricey! If you must travel during this time, note that the parks are the most crowded from 1:00-4:00 in the afternoon.
• Thanksgiving Week: Many families travel to WDW over the holiday weekend to experience the holiday decorations.
• December 26 – January 1: This is the most crowded (not to mention expensive!) time of year to be at WDW. Most parks set new attendance records each New Year’s Eve.
Tips: Events That Greatly Affect Park Traffic
• Presidents’ Day Week: Schools in New Jersey have the whole week off, and a large percentage of these families flock to WDW.
• Mardi Gras week: Most New Orleans schools have part or all of Mardi Gras week off of school, and most use the time to go to—you guessed it—Disney!
• Grad Nites: These private parties for graduating seniors are usually held during the last few weekends in April. The Magic Kingdom closes early—usually 6:00-7:00—and the area surrounding the park is usually gridlocked traffic when scores of buses attempt to drop off thousands of students (there is only one road into the Magic Kingdom, after all!). Traffic at other parks dramatically increases after the Magic Kingdom closes in the evening.
• Unofficial Gay Days: During the first week of June, there are several organized events around WDW. If traffic is increased, it is usually only at one park per day. For example, usually the Magic Kingdom is crowded on the first Saturday in June. It is important to note that Gay Days are NOT a Disney-sponsored event.
• Jersey Week: New Jersey teachers have a convention during the first or second week of November, and schools are usually off for the whole week.
• Special events may only affect one theme park. For instance, the annual Food & Wine Festival (held from the end of September through mid-November), dramatically ramps up traffic at Epcot, but the attendance at the other theme parks is relatively normal most days. The Walt Disney World Christmas parade is usually filmed closely after the Thanksgiving holiday, creating a horrible traffic jam at the Magic Kingdom for a few days.

the drizzle is a chick!

well, i cannot compare because i have never been to disneyland nor even california, but what i can tell you is that disney world is amazing. and i have heard that it is much much bigger.. first of all there are 4 parks, Magic kingdom, Disney Mgm studios, Epcot, Animal kingdom. you have to decide which park u want to go to because they are all seperate admissions... unless you get a park hopper( which is the best deal)..
i acutally used to work in Magic kingdom,, you have to go to that park because it is the spirit of disney. i would definatly reccomend all the parades, and get the fast passes for the rides. Also, there is a Downtown disney.. it's almost like a inclosed strip mall with all disney themed stores. the food in there is great! and it's free to roam around in.
airplanes are nothing to worry about.. they are easier than driving! just make sure that IF you do carry anything on, that it's up to regulation (1qt bag for liquids)
have a blast!!!!

if you like to ride the rides like rollercoasters and other rides you'll love to fly i've only flown once as an adult but lots of time as a baby and i loved it i went on big planes and little planes and i enjoyed it but i don't get motion sickness as for disney it's wonderful alot of rides i've never been to disneyland so i can't compare but i have family who's been to both and they say you can't beat disney world well i hope you have a good time

DisneyWorld is not like Disney Land. DW is a huge resort area containing several parks, and resorts, golf courses, etc.
You should be very excited......
My advice is to concentrate on what you really want to do because otherwise it becomes a situation of: "I want to do everything or I dont want to miss anything"- You will miss out on a lot!
ENJOY the things that you plan to do. Otherwise you will be overwhelmed with Disney Magic!!!

Flying is fun - no worries again just plan ample time so you are not frusterated and rushed.
I have found that when you plan extra time for everything - the whole plan falls together nicely.

1. The park is really big, but if I remember correctly, they have maps and signs everywhere to point the way. All the attractions are fairly easy to find. The place that you're staying at should also have a bunch of information on Disney.

2 and 3. I personally love flying. Make sure you follow the carry-on procedures. Bring books, music, magazines, ect to entertain yourself on the plane. If you think that you're going to get sick, bring some motion sickness medicine and gum. Gum is also good for when your ears pop as you take off and land. If you're nervous about the size of the plane, you can look up the layout of the plane on http://www.seatguru.com/.

Disney World is way bigger than Disneyland! Get a guidebook and visit http://www.allearsnet.com to plan ahead a little. Then you will feel more comfortable with it. It's really great!

Disney is awesome!!! I have never been to Disneyland but I have heard of people from CA coming here just to hit WDW.

Go to the Disney website and order maps and stuff in advance. That will give you time to plan. It is a free service.

I've flown several times and I get nervous before flights. Some people just do. Try to remember that more people get into car accidents then airline accidents. The only tip I have to give you is to chew gum or eat a snack as you take off and land. This helps to 'pop' your ears so the pressure doesn't make you uncomfortable. But if you forget just make yourself yawn.

Life is short - venture out and enjoy it! Don't be nervous just because something is far away. It isn't like you are going to another country!

I've never been to Disneyland but I would guess it's a lot the same. I think Disneyworld has more things to see, not so rides oriented.

Be sure to do the character buffet in the Crystal Palace that was the best meal I had at the World.

My first airplane ride was also to go there, good luck!!

Disney World is just like DisneyLand, but five times better! There are three more parks: Animal Kingdom, Epcot, MGM Studios, and Magical Kingdom (Disney Land w/o Calif Adventure and Matterhorn). It also has a ton of great hotels, run by Disney, so you never really stop having the Disney experience. There are also some cool water parks. Typhoon Lagoon is the best of the two.

As for being on a plane, it's really not that bad, except when it takes off and it's a bit rumbley. If you still get scared, get a movie to distract you and an inside seat, or put the shade down.

If you're scared because it's a ways away from where you live, you really need to get out. I live i Seattle, and I went there with no worries at all (except for having to watch jump-roping all day, long story).

I think anybody will enjoy it, they have stuff for everybody, not just kids stuff.
