Magic Kingdom Tips to make sure you have a Magical Day \\ Floidians Guide to Orlando



Magic Kingdom Summer Vacation Tips!

 

It's your favorite Orlando local expert JessyJen here to give you some tips to make sure your day at Magic Kingdom as magical as it can be. This is what I do and would advise anyone to do to make the most out of your day.

  1. Purchase your tickets in advance or at your hotel at least a day or two before you plan to visit the park..
  2. Download the My Disney Experience app and set up your fast passes. Each ticket has 3 fast passes for the day so choose the bigger rides such as Space Mountain or the Mine Train.
  3. Get familiar with the app and research all the dinning options available in the park to see what works with your budget.
  4. RESERVATIONS! Make a dinning reservation in advance before you come to eat at any of the full service restaurants in the park. You do not need a ticket to make a reservation but you do need to use a credit card to hold your reservation.
  5. Get to the park early. Magic Kingdom actually takes a really long time to get into to park, so give yourself about 30 minutes from parking to entering the park. They do have a morning show before the park opens in front of the castle and they start letting guest in the gate 30 minutes before rope drop! (Remember to take a photo of where you parked so you don't spend time at the end of the night looking for your car)
  6. Make sure you grab the entertainment guide and the park map to know what is going on that day in the park and to have the updated show times for that day.
  7. The busiest rides are Seven Dwarf's Mine Train, Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, and Peter Pan. I recommend trying to do those rides first in the morning before they get up to their 100+ minute wait times. (You could ride up to 6 rides in the first 3-4 hours of being there at park open)
  8. Make sure you plan before hand the characters you want to meet and where they are in the park because their wait times can get just as long as the attraction times.
  9. FIREWORKS and PARADES you should get there about 45 minutes-an hour before it starts to guarantee a spot where you can see them. Standing up top at the train station is a great spot for the parade and fireworks.
  10. Leaving the park can be a pain and can take you almost an hour or longer to get to your car or to your hotel shuttle. The busiest time of leaving the park is right after the fireworks and of course right at park close. Try leaving 30 minutes before the park closing to avoid those crowds or before the fireworks start. PRO TIP: walk to the contemporary and get on the hotel monorail because it also stops at the ticket and transportation center which is where the parking lot is found..
This is my best advise I can give to you to make your Disney day magical. I hope this helps anyone planning their day at Magic Kingdom this summer. Remember that Magic Kingdom is the busiest of the four Walt Disney World Resort parks.

Shanghai Disney

One of the really unique things they have at Shanghai Disney is the Alice in Wonderland maze. The big attraction is the big queen of hearts head in her part of the garden. It's a really simple and fun attraction to do in the park. It is located behind the castle in their Fantasy Land. Obviously, the big talk of Shanghai Disney is their Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Let me tell you I could just ride it all day long. It is honestly mind blowing and I have never experienced a ride like it before. I was lucky enough to ride it twice in the same day as well as the Tron Lightcycle Coaster. However I do prefer the pirates ride over the tron. ride.  The castle is so huge and beautiful and I had to put a picture of me in front of it. Now below is the video of my day there minus the Royal Banquet Hall which I will do a separate post on. I just would like to warn some travelers about some of the things I noticed there. Shanghai Disney people do not really under stand line...
