Iconic theme park with Cinderella Castle, classic rides, and fireworks
"The classic “Fantasy In The Sky Fireworks” goes off at 11:50 p.m., a perfect pre‑midnight crescendo in a park that stays open late to keep the celebration humming." - Elissa Garay
"On a first-timer, kid-focused day, we arrived by SUV through a special side entrance and were immediately coddled with snacks and water before threading from Frontierland to Fantasyland to Tomorrowland, pausing for mid-morning Tiana’s beignets and perfectly framed photos in front of the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle. Even amid the park’s 107-acre chaos and glory, Lightning Lane access—and the occasional behind-the-scenes entrance—made waits negligible, letting us conquer 12 major attractions in about six hours and rack up nearly 15,000 steps. Trivia and history surfaced at every turn, and we capped it by watching the afternoon parade from a special elevated platform in City Hall, popcorn and all; it genuinely felt like we had the place to ourselves." - Jacqui Gifford Jacqui Gifford As the editor-in-chief of Travel + Leisure, Jacqui Gifford is always on the next plane.
