Having taken my (at the time) 16 month old last year, my best advice is let them set the pace and guide.
I went with expectations and stressed out - until I just let him kind of lead.
His biggest thrills were characters - tentative. - Also a character handler gave me great advice if your little one is apprehensive of the characters. Hold them on the side away from the character and sort of diagonally turn toward them little by little while engaging with the character. And suggest they touch their noses. (Most of our character photos are nose touching!!)
Strollers are obviously a must. I also had a backpack leash (yes, I know. . but it was added security for Mama).
If you're waiting for a parade - have extra entertainment for the slow and waiting parts (we had a bubble machine thing).
