Magic Kingdom is definitely a classic must-do if you plan on making a trip to Disney World, especially if you plan on bringing kids! There may be no parade or firework show currently to end the night due to COVID precautions, but plenty is left to do within the park! Within the park itself there are five "lands" to walk through, Main Street U.S.A, Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.
Fantasyland: - It's a Small World: One of the most iconic rides within the park, and this one is perfect for all ages. You take a boat ride hearing children from all over the world singing, showcasing all different places and cultures. You might want to save this later in the day though, if only because you will have the 'It's a Small World" stuck in your head on repeat. - Dumbo the Flying Elephant: This is great for kids, as they have the chance to take a flight on Dumbo. This ride has been so popular they actually added a second one right next to the first to be able to take more people on. - Mad Tea Party: Pretty much another version of the classic tilt-a-whirl. Might not be for those who get more motion sick, but Erin gets motion sick and tolerates this ride pretty well. - Mickey's PhilharMagic: This could be a great pit stop on a hot day at the park, great to everyone 10-15 minutes of AC. This shows adventure of Donald Duck, with features of other classic disney characters as well. - Peter's Pan Flight: Take a flight through the story of Peter Pan. This line can be ridiculously long, and while it's a great ride it's only about 5-10 minutes long. Tomorrowland: - Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin: Similar to the Toy Story Mania ride in Hollywood Studios, this ride is more like a game to play against an opponent of your choice. You play to earn points and defeat the Evil Emperor Zurg, and if you reach the high score of 999,999 you become Galactic Hero! (Which earns you a ticket if you stop by the cashier on your way out of the souvenir shop outside the ride) There are many tutorials to look up online before you go to know which spots are high scoring, it took Erin about six tries to FINALLY get the high score. - Tomorrowland Speedway: This is super fun, as you get to cruise around a roadway in your own car! Not to worry, the cars are on a track, so it's impossible for young kids to steer parents off. - Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress: This is also a great place to go for a break in the heat. Here you follow a family through four generations and can see how technology changes their lifestyles over the years, What's cool about this ride is that is was originally built and opened at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair under the name "Progressland". Adventureland: - Jungle Cruise: This is a must for us every time we go. You get to take a scenic boat tour through the exotic rivers lead by a cast member whose job is to fill the ride with cheesy lines and jokes. Every ride is always different depending on what cast member you get, so its fun to see each one's take. Liberty Square: - Haunted Mansion: This is Erin's absolute favorite ride, and if you let her she will ride it about twenty times in a row. You get to take a Doom Buggy through the mansion and get to see spooky ghosts along the way. Unlike the name suggests, this really isn't a scary ride, there is no part that pops out or anything like that to scare you, so kids would like it too. Disney PhotoPass: There are photographers in each park (not just Magic Kingdom) standing all over the park ready to take your picture at some of the most iconic spots! They are linked to your account through the magic band, so you can purchase whichever ones you like best, or add the Memory Maker option to get them all. The great thing about this is that you can get everyone in all the photos, and they usually prompt fun poses, or edit in cool effects. We find that when we have it, we are more prompted to stop and take our photo, which we appreciate since those are the memories we keep for years to come. While we definitely didn't mention all there is to do in Magic Kingdom, we hope we gave you guys a great start! Comment what your favorite rides or attractions in Magic Kingdom are, we can't wait to hear!
