Magic Kingdom Must Do’s
Disney is always 12/10, but here are some recommendations 🫶🏼🏰
1) There is SO MUCH food, it’s so easy to miss the good stuff if you don’t do your research ahead of time. Highly recommend the Sleepy Hollow food location, as well as Gaston’s.
2) You can get great photos with less crowd from BEHIND the castle.
3) Monsters Inc Laugh Floor - great show to cool off and take a break.
4) It’s A Small World is a Disney World staple. Don’t skip! Also an indoor ride, so a great time to get out of the Florida humidity.
5) Take the character photos. No matter how old you are, it’s the cutest and most joyful thing. Enjoy the memory.
6) Ride the dang rides. Try them. You may hate them, but if you don’t try you’ll never know.
Tron is, IMO, the best new ride. Ride it in the dark or as close to sunset as possible. Really captivates the full experience with lighting, racing feeling.
*Highly recommend looking into Lightning Lane to shorten some wait times and help you plan in advance*
7) Not pictured, but bring in water bottles and flavor packets. Freeze the night before, so that they’ll last all day. Florida water is not great … 2/10.
When visiting Magic Kingdom, preparation is key to maximize enjoyment. Start by exploring the various dining options; popular spots like Sleepy Hollow and Gaston's Tavern offer delicious meals that can fuel your adventure through the park. Don't miss out on capturing memorable photos—head behind the castle for stunning shots without the crowd. Be sure to take a breather at the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, providing family-friendly entertainment while you cool down. Another classic experience is 'It’s a Small World', which not only serves as an iconic Disney ride but also offers a welcome escape from the Florida heat. Character interaction is a must, regardless of age; taking photos with beloved Disney characters creates lasting memories. For thrill-seekers, trying out rides like Tron is essential, especially when experienced in either a dimly lit setting or at sunset, enhancing the ride's immersive effects. To save time and reduce wait periods, consider utilizing the Lightning Lane service—planning ahead can significantly enhance your day. Don’t forget to stay hydrated! Bringing frozen water bottles and flavor packets can make a big difference on hot days, especially since Florida’s tap water isn’t particularly refreshing. Prepare these little items, and you’ll be all set for a magical day at the Kingdom!
