It would be a great thing to do if you are a season pass holder or if you will be coming to Magic Kingdom multiple times, but if this is your only day at the park, forget the parade and take advantage of the shorter lines. Yeah, this sounds un-American, but unless you are someone who is really into parades and you are ok with sitting around saving your spot for at least an hour, it’s better off being skipped. If you go on a day with shorter hours you will definitely want to be here for this to get the most out of your day. It also meant we didn’t have to be there for the “rope drop” – this happens when you get their early and are waiting for the rope to drop and the park to open. Also, the crowd started to clear out after dinner, so it wasn’t quite as busy at night. Yes, it was busier than other days, but we did not feel rushed at all since we knew we could be there ALL day and into the night. The day we went it was open until 1am! It was because their holiday hours were starting. The day before we went the park was open until 7pm. I just knew with our kids I needed the food on hand for when they were hungry.

They also have lockers you can rent and leave them in. We rented a stroller at Magic Kingdom since we no longer have one and were able to hang our cooler on our stroller. There are tables at outside restaurants that are right to the side of the castle and we were able to hear and see parts of the show that they had going on at the castle. For waiting in line we also brought a couple of ring pops which worked out great! We brought granola bars, pretzels, cheese, crackers, peanut butter and jelly, ham, bread, juice boxes, guacamole, hummus, and carrots. When you stay on property you may get Extra Magic Hours so it could be worth the money.

Large 4 bedroom home, located just 7 miles from the Magic Kingdom or a contemporary 9 bedroom house located just 9 miles away.

Yes, it takes a little while to park your car, take the tram to the Monorail, then the Monorail to the park, but it’s all part of the fun! 🙂 There were really no issues with parking or getting to Magic Kingdom. We stayed about 25 minutes away at an RV park (Thousand Trails Orlando) and it worked out great. Click here to buy your tickets (their prices include tax). We have found the most discounted tickets online at Undercover Tourist. Trust me, when you leave you won’t feel like you missed out on anything, you will feel like you couldn’t imagine having to get up and do it all over again the next day! It is a great way to get an introduction to Disney World.ĭuring your visit, you’ll most likely be there for over 12 hours, so you will have an opportunity to do plenty of things. Yes, the other parks are really cool too, but if you are looking to save money and you haven’t experienced Magic Kingdom yet, then we recommend taking your family there for a full day.
