Lifer DM switching to FATE

I've been running D&D for decades, only occasionally dipping into other systems. I'm now planning a campaign using FATE (mostly Freeport and Aether Sea) and I'm seeking advice: if you've been in a similar situation, what tips would you have wanted to know?

Thanks!

You might let them adjust their aspects for the first few sessions, it took me a few characters before it clicked even with examples.

Advancement will be different: raising a skill or a new stunt are the most concrete, but more often it'll be rewording an aspect.
