Magic Kingdom is by far the most well-known park at Walt Disney World. It’s got Cinderella’s Castle and all the parades, but what should you do when you visit? With the most rides of any Disney park, there’s so much to do! How ever will you choose? Whether you’re cramming this park into one day or a week, here are the things to do, see and eat at Magic Kingdom. Read through.
What is the Best Day to Visit Magic Kingdom?
We recommend Magic Kingdom days be either Tuesday or Thursday for your lower crowd levels. Saturdays and Mondays are completely off-limits. Unless you are an avid Disney goer or used to the crowd levels you see at Christmastime, don’t even bother to try on Saturdays. As you may guess you’ll be battling for the rides, reservations, and sidewalk space with Floridians who go every weekend. Check out our complete guide on the best days to visit Walt Disney World.

Magic Kingdom Transportation
From the TTC: If driving and parking there is a ginormous lot at Magic Kingdom that is separated into Hero’s and Villains sections. Keep track of where you park your car folks. Take a picture of the nearest lamp post/sign…anything that will help you find the car at midnight. From here you can catch the tram to the TTC (Ticket Transportation Center) where you will catch the monorail. Magic Kingdom is one of the stops on the monorail line. Of course, you can also catch the boat from the TTC if you’re looking for an easy lazy boat ride instead of the super-fast monorail.
From the Monorail: Hop on at any stop on the monorail. Make sure you go on the Magic Kingdom Monorail and not the Epcot Monorail. Magic Kingdom is accessible right from the monorail so please stand clear of the doors. Por favor, mantangase alejado de los puertas.
From the Boat: There is a boat that goes to and from Magic Kingdom that is accessible from Wilderness Lodge. You can also catch the large ferry from the TTC.
By Bus: The Disney bus can pick you up from your Disney Resort or Disney Springs and bring you to the Magic Kingdom Bus Depot.

Early Entry Hours and Breaks
Early Entry Hours in the morning or evening are always a treat but be sure to make the most of it.
- Don’t book your early breakfast reservations (which do get you early access to the park) on Early Theme Park Entry days.
- Save the busiest rides for morning or evening magic hours. Don’t waste a Genie+ Lightning Lane at these times, fewer people in the parks mean a much shorter wait at rides.
- Plan for the long day. Break up the park day by stopping over at a Monorail Resort to relax.
