Let’s get to the plan!īefore the day in the park even begins, pull out that Walt Disney World app and try to secure a spot in the Tron coaster virtual queue.

If you’re looking for vacation packages or tickets then follow those links for our recommended sites. Just get to the park before opening one way or another. If you are extremely Magic Kingdom focused and the budget allows, staying at the Contemporary, Polynesian, Grand Floridian or Wilderness Lodge would be ideal. To do this, I would recommend staying on-site at Disney World as the transportation is simpler. Getting to the park about half an hour before opening would be a wise choice if you only have one day there.

What I do assume in this itinerary is that you are spending the full day inside of the park, getting there before the gates open and leaving after the park closes. I don’t know how busy the park will be when you visit, whether you splurged for genie+ or Lightning Lanes (this plan assumes you didn’t), where you are staying, etc. There are many different factors that go into a theme park day, so we do have to keep this plan somewhat general. If you get to a step that’s not open when you’re visiting, just skip it and head to the next one! Undoubtedly, something on this itinerary will not be running or closed for refurbishment when you visit. In short, our ideal day at Magic Kingdom is packed. There are over 30 attractions (the Disney World website says 42 but also claims that horses are an attraction…) at the park and some spectacular shows, as well. Magic Kingdom doesn’t have a bad land and also has the gift of space, unlike Disneyland. While I like the other castle parks (Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland) we’ve been to more than Magic Kingdom, we still see this as one of the best theme parks in the world. Magic Kingdom, like all castle parks, has an abundance of attractions to ride and shows to see. Check out itineraries for other parks here. We also have entertainment, table-service and counter-service rankings to help out your trip planning. If you mostly want to focus on rides, check out our Magic Kingdom attraction rankings. Yes, we’ll get to the majority of the attractions but some are left behind in favor of, what we consider, better options. Instead of constantly running from attraction to attraction, this plan will also have you enjoying some of the little things that make Magic Kingdom special. While other touring plans are more focused on fitting in every attraction in one day, we’ll be more focused on how to have the best day possible. This itinerary is our efficient way to experience all of the, what we consider, Magic Kingdom essentials. Our Magic Kingdom Itinerary is a touring plan for what attractions, shows, and dining we’d do in our ideal day at the park.
