Astro Orbiter

First time riders. My first visit to Magic Kingdom was the year after the park opened. This was not one of the rides I was able to go on. It was a real look back to the mind of Walt and what his vision for tomorrow land was. It was way faster than I anticipated. As an older rider I was fortunate to have a younger couple help.me out of the capsule. Not super ada accessible. But not totally undooable. If you are willing to sacrifice a little dignity, you can ride. Do t let life slow you down. Shoot for the stars. #ada #space #astrology #Walt

Sad that it is only remaining 'rooftop spinner' in Disney parks but of course it is the best also for its amazing themeings. I am sad Disney removes so much of the Tomorrowland 1994 aesthetic but at least this one is mostly the same and especially great during fireworks. Hopefully it stays as is flying high!

Astro Orbiter is a super fun ride. Many great views of Magic Kingdom can be seen from this ride since it is elevated. I get dizzy a bit easily, but this ride did not make me dizzy even though it spins in a circle. Definitely recommend if the wait isn't too long.

We always ride this at least once per visit to the Magic Kingdom. We try to wait until the line is less than 30 minutes as it is a short ride. It has spectacular views. The rockets are small for multiple adults, it was a bit of a squeeze with out backpack.

One of my least favorite rides in Magic Kingdom. Lines are long but the ride itself is short. As other people mentioned, be mindful that there isn't much space in the rocket ships you will sit on. You can pilot the ship up an down, my daughter kept it fairly down as I was having anxiety due to height frightening but I wanted her to enjoy it. The ride felt a little rusty. The view from above is stunning, you can see all Tomorrowland and the Castle surroundings. I was looking straight to avoid looking above it and be more anxious. I want to give it another try maybe at night when everything is illuminated, should give another vibe. Would I wait 30-40 minutes in line for this? Absolutely no.

It's like Dumbo, but almost as high as Cinderella's castle! It's a little generic in that it lacks any branding, i.e. association with a specific film. Regardless, the fairly unique perspective it affords the riders makes it very rewarding. The only downsides are lack of AC, even in the elevarors, and tight cars for the tall.

I ove starting my day at Magic Kingdom with a flight on the Astro Orbiter. There's no Lightning Lane for this and it's a VERY slow loading ride so it's best to do it first or last thing during the day!

This is your standard whirly ride. You get in a rocket ship about the size of a small bath tub and spin your way through the planets. It's cute. Kids would love it! You sit two to a rocket with the smaller person in the front. Adults might have a hard time getting in and out of the rocket. It is kind of wobbly and there's not anything to really grab on to.

Very fun. Took a trip with my fam and had a great time with the characters and rides. Also the food was delicious! One complaint is the price, it's very expensive.

My family and friends visited this place for all of four hours later in the evening, as we were busy with other school functions during the day and the afternoon. As a result, we visited the entire park before it closed, and we had to leave. From what we saw and experienced, this place is just as crowded and popular as Disneyland in California. Despite the 32-degree weather the night our group visited the park, there were thousands of other bundled-up guests as well. The parking lot at the park entrance is quite a way away. You can either walk the entire distance or take a ferry across the water, which is what my group chose to do. Once inside, it was time for pictures, video, and fun. Did I mention that it was COLD!! Wow! It was actually freezing. We had enough time to see the rides, but we did not board a single one as the lines were too long. We were able to grab dinner, but had to wait a very long time to place our order. No complaints whatsoever from me about visiting huge amusement parks; long lines are to be expected. We were able to watch the fireworks show, which accompanied Disney-themed movies and played throughout the entire park. The fireworks were AMAZING!! Shortly thereafter, the park was about to close, and guests were seen walking to the front of the park to the gift shops, which were now super crowded. This being my first visit to Florida, I had to buy a few items for myself and family members back home in LA, including anything Magic Kingdom-related. Overall, our experience was positive and fun. Despite having had to visit the park for mere hours, we had a great time.

This will probably be an unpopular review, but Magic Kingdom is just ok. Obviously if you have little kids you need to bring them at least one time. It's clearly overpriced and a tourist trap at every turn. I would highly recommend buying tickets in advance to save money and save time on another line. I would definitely download the app. It has a useful map and gives a good estimate of the wait times. I would also suggest not bringing extra bags which could slow you down in the security check. They are way less organized and secure than Universal Studios. This was very apparent when they did the fireworks countdown for New Years Eve. I had no idea they would be doing a taping for tv on December 30. Some of the employees became rude as they tried to herd people in specific areas. Way unorganized because they were allowing people in the areas to have double strollers but telling other people there was no room and they had to leave. A double strollers with no child is apparently more important than a guest that paid $150 to be there. But that's none of my business. There are not as many rides for the adults that I thought there would be. Like I said earlier, it is primarily for young kids. Surprisingly, my favorite attraction was Monsters Inc laugh factory. It was interactive also which was interesting. I also enjoyed the Hall of Presidents. It was informative and fun. The new animatronics are way better than when I was there 15 years ago. There are lots of characters that are set up In areas and that roam the park. I think that's great for the little kids. They get very excited when they see their Disney favorites. For me, I have no need to come back to Magic Kingdom. I would suggest bringing young children if they have never been. I would definitely suggest planning your day here before coming to the park.

Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World is one of the most popular theme parks in the world. Originally opened on October 1, 1971, it was the only park at Disney World until the second park, EPCOT, opened exactly 11 years later on October 1, 1982. It's showing its age in certain places, but it is still as magical and charming today as it was when I first visited as a kid circa 1989-1990. Today, there are four theme parks at Disney World: 1. Magic Kingdom (1971) 2. EPCOT (1982) 3. Disney's Hollywood Studios (1989) 4. Disney's Animal Kingdom (1998) EPCOT is my personal favorite, but there's no denying Magic Kingdom's appeal. It's home to the iconic Cinderella Castle and six themed lands: 1. Main Street, U.S.A. 2. Adventureland 3. Frontierland 4. Liberty Square 5. Fantasyland 6. Tomorrowland Of these lands, Tomorrowland is probably my favorite. I love its retro-futuristic aesthetic and have great memories of it both as a child (on the Tomorrowland Speedway) and as an adult (on the PeopleMover and in the Carousel of Progress). Here are my Top 10 experiences at Magic Kingdom: 1. Haunted Mansion 2. Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover 3. Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress 4. Peter Pan's Flight 5. Pirates of the Caribbean 6. Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (great event) 7. "it's a small world" 8. Cinderella Castle (mosaics inside are a must-see) 9. Country Bear Musical Jamboree 10. The Beak and Barrel (new pirate lounge as of 2025) I went on Space Mountain as a kid and don't remember liking it, probably because I don't like roller coasters. Same goes for the old Splash Mountain, which is now Tiana's Bayou Adventure. I do want to try TRON Lightcycle / Run next time, though. Tip: Get the Lightning Lane passes and one of the PhotoPass Service's Memory Maker packages. They are worth it to save time and capture the memories.

Disney World's Magic Kingdom...where dreams come to life and adventure awaits around every turn. Meet your favorite Princess and get some photographs and an autograph. Hop on one of the many exhilarating rides or attractions. My favorite is the iconic Mad Tea Party. Spin yourself silly in an oversized teacup where you control the speed of your spin, making it a fun and dizzying experience for the whole family. Just be warned...it's easy to get carried away with the twirling!! Some helpful theme park tips...upgrade to Lightning Lane Passes, pack lightly & stay hydrated. And don't miss Happily Ever After, the astounding fireworks extravaganza featuring lights, lasers and special effects. Magic found here.

10000% I recommend MK. I had a blast. We visited the last weekend in Jan which was freezing! Temperatures were in the 30's -40's. We still made the best of it. The lines weren't terrible & the food was good. The Monster's Inc show was bad, just bad. I don't know why they changed it. I ended up leaving midway. Otherwise of course this is the most magical place on earth for a reason. The vibes were all right.

Always a great time at MK! Came with a large group this time. Park is still very clean. Cast Members are always nice and friendly!

Adding differences compared to a prior review - this time, Christmas, and they had a new parade, the Starlight Dream the Night Away parade, a lights focused evening parade with floats, some of your favorite characters (Elsa of course very popular on her float) and Mickey/Minnie bringing up the last float. Is it worth staying late for? They did this parade twice (once before, once after the fireworks show) while we were there, and while I would say it's not as exciting as their enchantment parade was with the fire-breathing dragon, it's a nice touch (assuming the kids aren't crazy grumpy by then). Prices are up a touch for entry, but the in-park pricing for food hasn't gone up too much. Still love the turkey legs (Prince Eric's Village as well as the Liberty Square stall) and the Aloha Isle. A lot of rides my little one has outgrown (along with visits with the characters) so it was more about the rides. Tron, btw - long ride wait outside, and not a lot of shade at points means bring an umbrella if you can... was a killer waiting in the sun, sapped all the energy. The last bit where you see them launch was cool. But the ride itself was a lot shorter and ended abruptly story-wise, felt like it could've used another loop or so. Not necessarily worth the wait, in my opinion, but the night view of the ride looked great. Think of it as Space Mountain leaning on Tron cycles and a little more light inside the dark areas. Much preferred waiting on the little car ride in Tomorrowland and grabbing some snacks, the train didn't stop at Frontierland (under construction) so a long walk around the park depending on where you wanted to go. One big pro - the v1 generation of magic bands (no battery) still work fine at the park - love that they keep it b/c the new bands aren't nearly as nice (or cheap!)

I hadn't been to Disney world since I was 5 years old. 20-something years later I was able to return with my family and we had an absolute blast! Magic Kingdom was definitely my favorite park as it held the most nostalgia for me and seeing my child who loves princesses there was so magical for me! Disney really goes above and beyond to make your experience at the park amazing. We were able to visit on a crowd calendar day 5, which was extremely manageable in regard to wait times and overall business of the park. My favorite ride was Tiana's Bayou Adventure and we had the chance to ride it twice! If you have a little girl, the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a MUST! All in for the top package, you are looking at around $240 with tax. Worth every penny! With this, your child gets a dress of their choosing, a wand/scepter, a tiara, drawstring bag, the nail polish used on them, the makeup palette used on them, a carriage necklace, a small comb, and depending on the selection for hairstyle, 1-2 accessories. And if all of that isn't enough, they get the amazing experience with their Fairy Godmother's Apprentice (shout out to Meredith from Windemere, Florida)! My only negative for our trip to magic kingdom was that the Winnie the Pooh ride was down so we were unable to ride.

Magic Kingdom is a truly beautiful and magical place! I highly recommend doing research before planning a trip here so you know what to expect and how to efficiently use the app, map out your day etc. I would never blindly come here because there are so many things you could miss out on. I visited in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy with my family and had an amazing time. Half of my family did mostly all of the rides and the other half did the less intense rides. My two favorite quick service spots were: Sleepy Hollow & Sunshine Tree Terrace. This was the only park we couldn't tackle in one day because there are so many rides and things to do so we visited twice during our trip! Highly recommend and it's good to know this one is definitely the most family/little kid friendly of all the parks in my opinion!

As a Californian who frequently visits the Disneyland resort, Magic Kingdom feels like a more spacious but less complete imitation. Most overlapping rides, like Space Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean, had a few small differences which are enough to feel like a different version of the same ride. Highlights were Tron which features an innovative, bike-style seating unlike any other coaster I've ridden, and Jungle Cruise which surprisingly had novel jokes (and funnier ones IMO). The Seven Dwarves Mine Train was underwhelming for how long we waited and the ride felt similar to Big Thunder Mountain. Still, Magic Kingdom is a great experience but I would recommend Disneyland regulars to visit the other WDW parks like EPCOT.

Coming from California, Magic Kingdom feels like a smaller, weaker version of Disneyland in Anaheim. The one standout ride is Tron, but during peak seasons the wait can easily exceed 90 minutes, and even on a normal day it averages 45-60 minutes. The food in the park is also very underwhelming. A melt sandwich we ordered was completely soggy, and the burger looked nothing like the photo. Overall, food options were average at best and not something to look forward to. Honestly, this might be the park where packing your own lunch is the way to go--whatever you bring will likely be better than what's served inside. In my opinion, if you're from California and don't care about riding Tron, you can skip Magic Kingdom entirely. Hollywood Studios or Epcot offer much better experiences--and honestly, all three Universal Parks are even stronger options.

It's Disney, what's not to love about this! There really is so many things to do and so many rides to go on. This trip, I was able to ride on the neutron ride. It was so much fun! I've been in the one in Shanghai, so glad they got one here as well. I did notice they didn't have as many holiday treats or decor as Disneyland does though. Holiday times are always so crowded so know that when you go. Longer wait times and more crowds! Gotta try during off peak hours. But you will have a blast, for all ages.

Disney World Magic Kingdom Park is probably the most popular and well like park for kids and adults. You can easily spend the whole day at this park until their infamous firework show. Lightning Pass is a must if you wanna check out their shows and rides that you want and not have to wait so long. It's definitely expensive but it is also show you why this place is so magical. I adore all the characters and we got to meet Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck. So many photo ops here, but who are we kidding. Want to explore everything and shows.

There is absolutely something magical about walking into the Magic Kingdom...that first sight of Cinderella Castle is truly breathtaking and there's a great sense of wonderful joy that hits you out of nowhere! (admittedly, I did not think this was going to be the case lol) The park itself has a ton to offer--rides, dining with Cinderella in the Castle, meeting other iconic Disney characters, and of course Walt's Famous Hot Dog. They do also allow you to bring in non-alcoholic beverages and food, which is very helpful to avoid the long lines and exorbitant prices. We also attended the Dessert Party before the Fireworks Show. The desserts are decent but it includes a prime location for watching the fireworks (what an incredible show). We had the awesome ability to time the trip so we were there when it changed over to Christmas...talk about magical! Yes, it's a long day...but seeing your child's face light up over and over again in addition to the immediate magic that touches you the moment you walk in is priceless!

**Planning Tips for Maximum Coverage:** The key to experiencing everything is strategic timing and using the app effectively. The app shows real-time wait times and show schedules, which is absolutely essential for planning your day. Arrive at the parking lot by 7 AM--it takes about 30 minutes to take the monorail or ferry from parking to the park and clear security, so you'll reach by 7:30 AM for rope drop. Stay until after 8 PM as well--wait times drop significantly during these early morning and late evening hours for popular rides. We used the Multi-Lane Pass for attractions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Tiana's Bayou Adventure during these quieter periods. During peak hours (roughly 11 AM to 7 PM), we tackled classic rides like "it's a small world" and Mickey's PhilharMagic, where Multi-Lane Pass spots were readily available even when the park was busy. Keep track of show times through the app and plan your meals around them. Food was plentiful and easy to find--even vegetarian options! Whenever we got hungry, we simply checked the app for nearby restaurants. With a little planning, you can cover almost everything. **The Magical Experience:** It's easy to call something "magic," but truly creating magic is nearly impossible! Yet this is probably the only place in the world that successfully delivers a genuinely magical experience. The rides were beautifully themed--most were boats, trains, or ropeways gliding through stunning Disney production sets that absolutely blew my mind! We visited during Christmas time, and the parades were truly enchanting: Mickey's Christmas Parade, the Starlight Parade, and Minnie's fireworks show were once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Even getting to the park was impressive--a monorail or ferry whisks you from the parking area to the theme park, which itself is a mind-blowing touch! Overall, this was one of the best experiences of my life!

My boyfriend and I had such a fun, magical day at Magic Kingdom! Even though I am an Orlando local, I do not have an annual pass and rarely ever go to Disney. He treated me with a day ticket to Magic Kingdom so I could experience all the fall, pumpkins, and Starlight parade. We spent a FULL day here and really felt like I was able to do everything. We had lightning lane for a few rides which really helped in the wait times. I highly recommend. Things that stuck out to me was visiting all the beautiful shops along Main Street. The store with the crystals was beautiful! I bought a poison apple sweater to commemorate my fall time spent here. I liked seeing the man playing the piano near the corn dog spot. Of course, had to have the Mickey ice cream. Yummy! The Starlight parade was wonderful. I grabbed a spot on the curb near the very front of the park which was a good spot because it is right where the parade starts. The floats were gorgeously lit. Favorite ride would probably be Haunted Mansion. I loved riding it after watching the movies! The only thing that would have ended the night better was just better transportation back to parking because we waited forever for the boat.

I did learn something on my latest visit: "Happiest Place on Earth" (Disneyland in California) and "Most Magical Place on Earth" (Walt Disney World in Florida) are distinct, official slogans for the original vs. the larger Florida resort. Okay, now that that's settled, back to reviewing the only place I knew growing up even though I was there only once in the days of the old A-E ticket books. I have been here several times since then. Somethings have gone away. Some things have evolved. It is amazing how the Pirates of the Caribbean spawned a series of films, and then those series of films added a new character to the original ride. Overall, the only thing "wrong" with the Magic Kingdom are the Disney Prices, the long lines, and a fast pass system that seems to be more trouble to deal with than it is worth. Yes, I would probably be okay with it if I really figured it out, and, yes, I am still giving the review five stars. There is nothing like the original, for me. The Magic Kingdom is still the place to go.

The attention to details all around any Disney property is just always amazing to me. What a great park, amazing visuals, restaurants, characters, rides and never ending hordes of people and overstimulated children. These parks are a bit much, especially for toddlers and babies. I am an adult and found the park horribly confusing on my first visit. How do I even get in, where should I go first, what ride is worth standing in line for and so forth. Luckily for me, my adult daughter is very much into Disney. She has an app telling here the wait times for each of the rides, what shows to watch and when, she knows the layout and where to eat and reserve seats if needed. When to line up for the parade, where to find characters, the wait times for those, where the photographers are located and how to even get a photo pass. So it is a breeze. We zoom all across the park taking advantage of the shortest waits. Without her guidance I would have been lost and probably not gotten my money's worth. Plan ahead, know what you really want to do and what is not that important to you. And enjoy all that you can.

When is Magic Kingdom not 5 stars? If there were 10 stars it would be 10 stars. Best attractions (for I'd say 12 years old+): #1 by a mile - TRON #2 - Space Mountain #3 - Big Thunder Mountain #4 - WDW Railroad Outside of those rides, you're killing time and chillin. The rides above will take you a solid 5 hours to get through them all, unless you get the Lightning Pass which will then only take you about 3 hours. It also depends what time of year/month/holiday you go on. This was based off Thanksgiving weekend. For food, souvenirs, parade and fireworks I'll leave it to someone else to rate but the parades and fireworks are spectacular. Save your time/sanity and skip Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion and Tomorrowland's Speedway.

Went to magic kingdom for the first time during the spooky season and I have to say, I loved the decorations! It's the start of the holiday season and the temperature drops a little. The transportation to get to MK or to another park is not very magical. The huge crowds to see the fireworks can be very overwhelming to get in and out of so I would recommend watching from the sides so you can go to your next stop after. Leaving after the fireworks is intense nor matter if you take the tram or ferry boat. You also can't get an adult beverage unless you have a reservation for the one restaurant that sells. We did not attempt to walk up to the bar for a quick service so i can't speak for that. We got on several rides with dumbo being the longest at 45 minutes. Overall, it's Disney! It's magical and a fun place to walk around and see the characters, get on rides and indulge in yummy snacks!

Beautiful and magical. Early entry is definitely worthwhile. Youre able to take your pictures without many people and enjoy the ambience. The only reason why i took down a star is because the cast members were not in their usual awesome magical happy selves. You could tell its early and they are waking up. Otherwise, everything is chritmassy already on Thanksgiving day. The app is a must for show times as they no longer print schedules. Food has exponentially improved! Get ready for magic!

Not much to add other than what has been already said The new parade "starlight" electric parade was beautiful. Other than being wildly expensive I would say the biggest knock is the lack of shade in most of the parks.

I had not been to this park in 15 years so I honestly did not have any memories anymore so I am very happy. I made a bunch again. The biggest memory I made is that there's just way too many people and it makes it a nuisance and takes away a lot of the fun the way times can be brutal. Luckily, I like Hollywood Studios. There is a lot more going on in this park outside of eating and shopping. The shows and rides were enjoyable. I do suggest to check on Pirates of the Caribbean because it smells really bad in there maybe that's why it was the only ride without any wait

We spent Christmas 2025 in the most magical place! They had parades throughout the day, with Cinderella's Castle as the backdrop. I highly recommend downloading the Disney app, so you can track how long the lines are for each ride, make dining reservations, and get exact directions to rides from your location. I also recommend buying the photo pass. As the only adult traveling with a child, it was a great way to ensure we got great pictures that weren't just selfies. You have 48 hours to download the photos. Don't forget to take note of which lot you're parked in.

I admit magic kingdom is my favorite park. The nostalgia of raising my girls on Disney movies hits hard at the park. However- almost every ride we rode experienced an issue. Tron- as an example- one of their newer rides- was down for hours. When it finally came back up (before the electric parade) we rushed over to ride it - thankfully we got on because immediately after it shut down again. For multiple rides to be having issues makes me wonder what's going on.

The park is really overcrowded but a once in a lifetime experience for both young and old at heart. The day parade and night parade were stunning to watch I was smiling from ear to ear so I can imagine how a child could feel. I can see why a 2 or more day visit could be required because the park is a big park and the lines to get on the rides could take over an hour easily. The scenery at the park is beautiful but at night the park comes alive with all of the beautiful lights. For me as an adult it was not the most magical place on earth but I can say that I am glad that I was able to see it for myself and not just on pictures or TV.

My visits to the Magic Kingdom are always magical. The park is always clean and well kept, the cast members are always helpful and cheery, and every detail is thought out. I always compare DisneyWorld to other theme parks and they honestly don't compare. Always a grand trip and I can't wait until next visit!

Visited Magic Kingdom for the first time! As a regular at Disneyland from a very young age this was a pretty big deal for me. To see a park quite similar but at the same time quite different are experiences shared from those that have been there. We made Magic Kingdom the last park to visit on Saturday because it was opened the latest. Well that was a big mistake I'll share more about that a later. Overall my impression was that Magic Kingdom is quite nice. We got on a few rides including Haunted Mansion, Small World, Peter Pan, and Mad Tea Party all at Disneyland as well but interested to see the differences and I must say the ones at Disneyland are better. What the rides at Magic Kingdom have are a lot of nice and whimsical decor throughout the line but the rides themselves I think are better at Disneyland. We ate at Pinocchio Village Haus during a peak time nothing special except the ranch is free. Hubby wanted to go on Tron but we made the mistake to wait in line at Peter Pan instead and did not make it to Tron. Tea Cups are actually pretty fast and not a lot of strength needed to spin the wheel. What was surprising to us is that there are no food/ice cream carts around the park like at Disneyland there was only one cart at the end of Main Street that had churros, popcorn, pretzels, sodas all at one stop and it was not that busy. The crowd at Magic Kingdom was nice. They don't close down some of the park for fireworks. Fireworks seem to go off from all kinds of directions. Parade was scheduled to start at 10pm so there were people sitting on main street waiting for it. Felt like there were still a lot of people in the park til late. So now onto the ugly part. Everyone that comes to Magic Kingdom must arrive on monorail or ferry so there was a swarm of people leaving at the same time it was just madness trying to make your exit.

Magic Kingdom was absolutely amazing! The mix of classic rides, fun new attractions, and great food made for a perfect day. We grabbed lunch at Cosmic Ray's, which has that classic diner vibe with sandwiches and burgers--I had a burger, and it was excellent. We caught a show at the castle, then hopped on the PeopleMover, which was such a nice way to relax and enjoy a scenic ride around Tomorrowland. Some of the ride highlights included Pirates of the Caribbean, always a must-do, and TRON, which was incredible--like riding a light cycle through the air! Definitely one of my new favorite rides. The nighttime entertainment was just as magical. The new night parade at 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. felt like a throwback to the old light-up parade, with glowing floats, favorite characters, and so much energy. The fireworks at the castle at 10 p.m. were as spectacular as ever, and we ended the night perfectly with some ice cream. Such a fun and memorable day!

Magic Kingdom is so iconic for Disney. It is a must see. The castle is so impressive as well as the parades and firework displays. There are many attractions, stores for merch, and places to eat or grab a snack. I went for the Mickey's Not-so-Scary Halloween party and the ticketed event was also really impressive. The park is available to day passes until 7PM and the ticketed event starts at 4PM, so there is an overlap where wait times may be a bit longer. After 7PM, some smaller rides close for the night so be sure to check which rides are open for the event. They have a special parade and fireworks display that they do for the event and, since the event is sponsored by Mars Wrigley, there are Trick-or-Treat stations throughout the park. They give you a reusable Halloween bag and cast members literally shovel candy into your bag all night after 7PM. Unfortunately, the day we went it was downpouring at around 9PM, so we ended up leaving early, but the super nice cast member at the entrance told us that Main Street would be open until 1AM for the event. So they sort of phase the park out into closing so you can plan what you want to do. Had we had the full night, we would have prioritized rides, then candy, then food, and then shopping on Main Street. It is definitely important to go to the parks with a plan! Though, you can always still have fun at Disney if you wing it!

Going back to Disney's Magic Kingdom after 27 years was a delight! The rides are classic and nostalgic. Not many big rollercoasters so good for littles. TRON is probably the biggest roller coaster and is fun! My favorite ride was the Seven Dwarves Mine Ride. We didn't hit Tiana's Bayou (formerly Splash Mountain) but that is another bigger ride up get wet on. This place is a feast for the eyes and nostalgia for the heart if you're an adult! Of course the kiddos love it too. Sad there aren't characters that walk around anymore and you have to wait in long lines to see them. We didn't wait to meet anyone since we went with 4 adults. The Columbia restaurant was cute and cozy and affordable for Disney ($8-15 I think average). Bottled water was $4 but there are plenty of water fountains if you don't want to buy them. I love that you can bring your own food and drinks. Be sure to leave maybe an hour to actually get into the park once you arrive. I didn't think about that... between parking, walking or taking a shuttle to having to take a boat ride or monorail ride and going through security and tickets, it takes a while. We went in late September, when it's supposed to be the slowest month. It was quite busy to me! But one of the people we went with who has an annual pass said it wasn't crowded that day. Glad we went when we did then because more crowds would've been too much!! We waited maybe 60-70 minutes for the mine, Peter Pan, and TRON rides. 45 minutes for Haunted Mansion. 30 minutes for Space Mountain. And a variety of other rides, around 20-30 minutes. Those are "slow season" times, for reference. Overall, a wonderful day that I'm grateful we were able to do! I was on the fence, with tickets being $164/1 day (Florida resident or non-Florida resident) currently. It was a hefty price, but I'm so glad we went for the day. now it'll probably be another 25 years!

What I love about the park is the spaced out feel Like it's not all crowded in terms of walkways and yes the castle is huge and awesome compared to Disneyland But their small world is a bummer from the outside and their haunted mansion doesn't give off the haunted on the outside lol We arrived via boat from our hotel which was a cabin so that was cool and fun to experience but you can arrive via the tram too Otherwise the park itself feels like Disneyland and it's always a fun good time minus the wait lines lol

Overally, our visit was just okay. Disney will always be disney, so while the park itself is beautiful and amazing, the food, staff and service were not. Many of the staff had very poor attitudes, especially staff from the Disney College Program. The only place where staff were pleasant and helpful was the Baby Care Center.

Had a great visit with a friend two days after Halloween. It was way slower than we thought it'd be, we walked on most rides and only had a 15 minute wait for space mountain. Ordering food through mobile order took an extra half hour, but we were during the lunch rush. We loved the Christmas decorations, too! Looking forward to our next visit.

It's Disney! Hard not to recommend it. But you do want to pay attention to when you are going and how busy it may be. Early mornings, or late evenings are definitely the best times.

Was disappointed in Magic Kingdom. Have not been here for about 15 years. Was a bit dated and very crowded. Tron was running a 85-120 minute wait and we finally gave up. Every ride had too long a wait for the quality of the ride. Merch is expensive, food choices not great and let's face it, if you are going to sell alcoholic drinks across the other three parks, why not Magic Kingdom? Parade and fireworks were spectacular but people are camping out for 2 hours for fireworks, why? Nobody knows...

From Super Bowl winning quarterbacks, to kids of all ages, this is the place everyone wants to go at least once. And if by chance you marry into a Disney family, more than likely, you're going more than once. Magic Kingdom, the quintessential Disney park is by far the one you need to visit if you have some time in Central Florida. Between the constantly evolving decor, different character meet & greets, and the food specials, one thing remains constant here and I'm not talking about the humidity. (Although, I highly encourage people to go when it's hot so it's less busy for me in the cooler months) The constant here is the feeling of being a kid again when you get into the park. It might actually be something magical in the water because this is a fun place to be and see. Bringing my 2.5 year old son here and watching him meet characters, ride the rides, and hopefully make some core memories was the coolest part to our trip here. Be warned though, it takes a lot of endurance for a Disney day, even more so if the temps are hot and humid. Be sure to drink plenty of free cups water they offer at the food stands and get some shade when you can. Whether you're a parent, childless millennial, or a just a Disney adult, this place has something for everyone and it really is a good time. If you want to feel like a kid all over again, go on some pretty cool rides, and eat some delicious food, then Magic Kingdom is the place to be.

If you like fast rides, I would recommend going on tron if you get hungry, I would go to the liberty Square market don't miss the parade and the fireworks. The fireworks are located right at the castle. If you like space I would go on space Mountain.

If you have never been to a scary Halloween, you definitely need to put it on your bucket list. It's a separately ticketed event that starts at 7 PM, however, the park allows you to get early entry at four. This give you time to go on some rides or grab something to eat before the party starts. There are two times to see the parade and the Hocus Pocus show, but there was only one time to see the firework spectacular and it's something you don't want to miss. We did check out some of the party exclusive food items the pumpkin churros, and the chicken fingers with garlic sauce were out out of this world. We took home some party exclusive baked goods as well. And don't forget to pick up some party, exclusive souvenirs, including the Jack skeleton, popcorn holder, which lights up and the kids love.

Honestly, Disney World truly is the most magical place on earth. That is most evident in Magic Kingdom of course. Wear comfortable shoes, plenty of snacks, and a good water bottle. Frontierland has the best options for lunch, if you are looking to go somewhere without reservations that won't break the bank. Magic Kingdom will take you AT LEAST two days, if you want to do all the rides and see the shows/parades. Anyone who tells you differently is lying to you. The best place to watch the fireworks is from the train station in Main Street.

Magic Kingdom is the heart and soul of Disney World--the place where the magic really comes to life. Walking down Main Street U.S.A. toward Cinderella Castle never gets old. It's iconic, nostalgic, and just has that special something you can't quite put into words. There's so much to do here, from classic rides like Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and It's a Small World, to big thrills like Space Mountain and the newer TRON Lightcycle Run. The fireworks show at night is breathtaking and emotional--definitely stay for that if you can. The cast members are always friendly, and the whole park is clean, organized, and beautifully maintained. There's a great mix of rides for all ages, plus plenty of snacks and dining options (I'm always hunting down a Dole Whip or Mickey pretzel!). Why 4 stars instead of 5? Mainly because the crowds can be intense, and wait times for popular attractions can get really long without a Lightning Lane. It can also feel overwhelming if you're trying to do everything in one day--it's a lot to take in! Still, Magic Kingdom is a must-visit. It's the most "Disney" experience you can get and full of those unforgettable, picture-perfect moments. Just come prepared with patience and a little bit of a game plan.

The nostalgia factor is strong with this park. So many rides and attractions in this park including ones of pure quality. I find that the best time to go is in October during the Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween event! It's very much worth it, not NEARLY as many people, so you can get in way more rides way easier, and so much more exclusive stuff going on. You won't regret going to the Halloween event. My fiance (now wife) cried during the Hocus Pocus performance....pure nostalgia. Love it! There's definitely better Disney Parks in terms of food but l love the Hot Dogs at Casey's Corner and the food at Columbia Harbour House. I assure you if you have kids they WILL be disappointed in the food being served at Beast's castle. It looks stunning, but the menu is atrocious and not at all appealing to kids or adults who aren't bougie. I unfortunately wasn't able to ride Tron but putting that aside, The Haunted Mansion and Thunder Mountain might be my favorites (I may be biased because I proposed in front of the Haunted Mansion). But a must-do attraction is Peoplemover!! So cool yet so relaxing, it is the perfect attraction to let loose and kick your feet up, I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.

On a recent trip to Orlando, I stopped in at Magic Kingdom for the pineapple Dole whip alone. Did I go on some rides and eat some other stuff? Sure. But I was there for the Dole whip.

When you think of Disney World, you almost immediately imagine Magic Kingdom and the iconic castle. Walking down Main Street USA enjoying the sounds, smells, and views are incredible. Grab a treat. have something to eat, and find a line to join for your favorite ride. Magic Kingdom has the classic Disney rides as well as some new adventures. You might also catch a glimpse of your favorite characters and be sure to stick around for the fireworks. The park is open later so you can take home all the souvenirs you want.

It is a magical spot. We stayed on property so got in early, which made all the difference for us. However, when entering the park in the morning you must go to the right to go left, if your ride is in that direction. We didn't realize that and lost some time because of that. Using their app is a real game changer for seeing wait times, ordering food ahead of time, linking photos and using the interactive map. We discovered a neat popcorn spot near the entrance. You can make your own with all sorts of candy, which my son really enjoyed. The buses back to the resort could use a bit more direction, but the ride is so convenient and worth staying on one of the Disney properties.

Went in for Date Night just for fireworks. (We have season passes) was absolutely gorgeous!!

It has been over ten years since the last time I was here. My husband and I went early October and Magic Kingdom was decorated in fall and halloween vibes. We went on a Tuesday and it was also a Not So Scary night so they closed early. Some of our favorite rides were Tron and Space Mountain. We didn't really stay the entire time because we had park hopper but definitely was fun. Every time I'm here I feel the childhood magic.

Magic Kingdom-- the heart and soul of DisneyWorld. Fun for: first timers, families of all ages, those wanting to ride the more classic rides & meet the traditional characters and princesses of all your favorite Disney movies. Since this is the park that gets the most visitors, expect long stand-by lines and heavy traffic!! MUST: Character Dining: Depending on when you're going and if you can make reservations, I'd suggest: Cinderella's Royal Table (meet princesses, better food, more intimate dining setting) / Be Our Guest (only meet Beast, detailed interior, large dining room) / Crystal Palace (meet Winnie the Pooh & friends, buffet) MUST SEE: Festival of Fantasy Parade at 3:00 PM - runs through Adventureland/Frontierland; Parade of princesses and other FantasyLand characters. PRO TIP: Find a spot in Frontierland, better views, less crowded Magic Kingdom is divided into multiple themed parks: Main Street USA, Frontierland, Adventureland, Tomorrowland, Fantasy Land, and Liberty Square. NOTE: Don't miss the fireworks show at 9:20 PM in front of the castle.
