My oldest is almost 5. Here is my advice:
1) If she likes princesses, have her wear a princess dress. My daughter wore hers every morning of our 5 day trip this past December. A huge magical moment was when we were entering town square on our first day. We heard somebody calling "little sleeping beauty, little sleeping beauty" several times. We finally realized it was prince Phillip and Sleeping Beauty calling to our daughter. They both came to her got down on there knees in front of her. We were right next to the Christmas tree. Very magical. Kids just get a little extra attention when they are dressed up.

2) You might want to watch video on this site of rides you think your daughter might be scared of. My daughter wanted to ride matterhorn first off in Dec. The dark bit right at the start freaked her out. She kept trying to turn around and climb off. Not a fun experience for me. I really had to struggle with her to keep her safe. After that she would not ride POTC (even though she had been on it several times before when she was younger). This summer we did a 1-day trip with friends her age. Somehow peer pressure made her want to go on Tower of Terror. I WAS NOT READY TO RIDE IT. She was so close to the height requirement that three people checked to make sure she was 40 inches. I figured she would chicken out. No we rode it. She loved it. She did Soaring too. However later in the day she would not ride Buzz because of "the anger inside."

3) Get there early and take breaks.

Have a great time,
