Going to disney world is really fun, but I would rather take her when shes a little older and taller since there are some limitations. On her age you will not be able to get her to all the rides, for Maginc Kindgom for instance there are some rides for her age to enjoy but what about the rest of the park? I think you will kind of wasting the money if you don't enjoy the whole park. Maybe for now Sea World is a good vacation choice and I never went but i'm told is a great experience. good luck, have fun!

How exciting, you and your family will have a blast! It's been a while since I was at Disneyworld, I can't make any suggestions on the hotels and such but maybe a few for the park. The park is huge, with a 5 year old you will need to pace yourselves. I suggest you "harness" her so she can walk when she can and you won't lose her in a crowd. If you bring a stroller I would bring something like the umbrella stroller, it folds up easy and isn't hard to put on a ride etc.and Wear a backpack to carry stuff. Bring water bottles and some snacks you don't want to waste a lot of money "snacking" save it for a good sit down meal. Whenever we got too hot and tired we would go to its a "Small World", its air conditioned and you sit and ride in a boat, while thousands of dolls sing to you. And mister toads ride is fun for kids too. You might want to start your planning the night before, one thing we did to go to the park for 4 hours back to the hotel for 2 back to the park for 2 and back to hotel, we would break it down so we could see most everything in a couple of days. I have heard that seaworld is awesome, but I have never been. I am so happy for you, above all enjoy, be safe, and have fun - make sure you bring pictures back to share on your profile :)
