Spending a day at the Magic Kingdom can be a truly magical

experience or a very stressful one. What makes the difference

is being prepared for the park and arriving with a plan.

Families that travel to the Magic Kingdom without researching

the park layout, park attractions and features of the park will

find their day spent tackling long lines, hot weather and

confusing park details.

The best way to approach a trip to the Magic Kingdom is to

review all the available information on the park while planning

your trip to Orlando. First time visitors will be overwhelmed by

the number of attractions, shows and sheer size of the Magic

Kingdom. If you plan to spend only one day at the park you will

have to plan on making some tough choices on what you really

want to see. When traveling with children, it is always best to

plan on spending two full days at the Magic Kingdom. This will

enable you to see all the attractions and get the full Disney

experience.

By reviewing the park layout in advance you can prepare a “plan

of attack’ for the park. Even in the off season, the Magic

Kingdom is always the most crowded of all four Disney Parks.

Many of the most popular attractions, such as Dumbo the Flying

Elephant and Winnie the Pooh’s Adventures always seem to be

packed with people waiting on line. You will maximize your time

at the Magic Kingdom if you understand the best ways and times

to visit each attractions.

Also, Disney is always adding new attractions, refurbishing

current ones and introducing new park policies (security

checks, FastPass tickets for attractions). Learning about these

procedures in advance will only maximize your day, touring the

park. Advance planning will definite save you time and money as

you visit the Magic Kingdom.

While reviewing the park layout and policies you will also be

able to see which attractions are geared for the members of

your family. Height and size restrictions do apply on some

attractions, and some even include warnings for small children

(attractions that contain complete darkness, loud noises, etc).

This advance information will prove important so your children

are not disappointed once they arrive at the park.

Advance planning can not be stressed enough when planning a

trip to the Magic Kingdom. Do your homework before traveling

and when you arrive at the park you will have a truly Magical

Day.
