Magic Kingdom Park

As its name suggests, Fantasy Kingdom embodies the theme of "wonder and magic." It's the largest theme park in Orlando Disney World, boasting the most attractions, and is also the oldest and most iconic. Most of the rides introduced to Hong Kong Disneyland originated here. Compared to other Orlando theme parks, Fantasy Kingdom lacks the thrilling high-flying rides. Instead, it emphasizes a sense of fantasy and childlike innocence, making it a perfect theme park for both children and adults. With the romantic Cinderella's Castle, lifelike Disney characters, immersive fairy tales, and of course the unmissable "Music and Colorful Fireworks Show," you're sure to create unforgettable memories here.

There are float parades and fireworks shows at night, which are well worth a visit.

By daniel9247 |

Disney's Magic Kingdom is said to have been open since the 1960s and 1970s. Compared with the Animal Kingdom, many of the projects here are generally only suitable for children, but the classic Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are both here. The super-large turkey legs bought in the park are said to be very salty in China, but this one is not salty at all.

By zhuihaomfw |

It's the largest and most central of the three major parks at Disney World—perhaps because of that iconic castle? Actually, I think it's because the attractions in the Magic Kingdom are so closely tied to classic Disney creations, both old and new. Of course, since it's mostly interactive rides and attractions with Disney themes, like a super-soft version of Happy Valley, there's little need or interest in taking photos most of the time. Only when Judy showed up! She blew a kiss into my camera, and I was so excited! Finally, I could scream at a familiar and beloved character. I loved that close-up of her furry face—so adorable! The atmosphere was so lively, and the host interacted with everyone, singing and dancing. It was fantastic. After the carnival ended, Little M and I were a little tired, and having enjoyed most of our activities, we didn't stay for the evening fireworks display.

By Azul |

The highlight of the Magic Kingdom is the spectacular evening fireworks display. The castle's changing colors and the fireworks are a truly spectacular sight. Be sure to arrive early to secure a good spot.

There are many activities in the park where you can meet and take photos with various fairy tale characters. Personally, I think there is no need to go if you are not taking your children and the children like it.

In addition, be sure to download the Disney World app in advance so that you can reserve three fast pass tickets. Some popular projects must be reserved a few days in advance.

Finally, here are some pictures of the fireworks show!

The parking lot of MK is divided into two areas: Heroes Lot and Villains Lot. We parked in the Simba area on both days when we went to MK. On the first day when we came back from MK on that rainy night, we didn’t pay attention and jumped directly on the shuttle bus. After parking, we found out that we had taken the wrong bus and went to the Villains area.

The parking lot is quite a distance from the park, so we'll take a short ride on Disney's open-top shuttle bus to the park. Once we get off the bus, we'll arrive at the legendary TTC (Transportation Ticket Center). There are two modes of transportation here: the Monorail and the ferryboat, both of which provide access to Magic Kingdom.

We used both modes of transportation during our two days at MK. The monorail proved to be faster, while the ferryboat had longer waiting times. It's also important to leave early to get to MK, as the journey from parking to the park can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

By Blazing |

Ticket price: $100 per person

The Magic Kingdom is the largest of the four parks. After the bus arrives at the parking lot, visitors need to take a boat to the park's main entrance. It's incredibly crowded. This is the real Disney, with castles, cartoon characters, princes and princesses, and all kinds of fun attractions...

The biggest feature of Disneyland in the United States should be the famous float parade, which is large in scale and has beautiful music.

By Little Bear from the Arctic |

Magic Kingdom: Disney's most iconic park, Magic Kingdom boasts the Disney castle. One difference between Disney and Universal is that, with children in mind, the rides are less thrilling. There are no 360-degree roller coasters like Universal's. Instead, you'll mostly be able to ride in small boats and cars to watch 2D to 4D animations.

By beyourjm |

It's pretty good, but there are too many people. . Overall, the project is a bit childish, haha

By peach honey |

Having been to Disneyland before, I wasn't impressed by this place, but I have to admire the sheer volume of visitors that can be gathered in one park. The park is very organized, clean, and the service is excellent.

By MM |

Donald Duck - Mickey Mouse - Bugs Bunny - Snow White - Tom and Jerry - Aladdin - Tarzan - The Seven Dwarfs...

Childhood, isn’t it?

Did you ever imagine meeting them in real life when you were a kid?

I envy the princess’s beautiful big skirt so much. Did you get the kiss from the handsome prince?

Don’t you really wish you could be in a dreamy castle, European-style manor, or carousel?

Disneyland is the place where we can find our childhood again!

It’s all about the nostalgia! Disneyland is definitely a must-visit on our travel checklist.

When it comes to Disney, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Cartoon character parades and castle fireworks and light shows are the only two, right?

Then these two are both in Magic Kingdom~

Disneyland is a must-visit!

By Dreamy Flowers Fall |

Magic Kingdom, a magical journey.

By A-YUE |

I went there with my wife for our honeymoon. It was perfect. The sky was blue and the clouds were white. While it's a bitter winter in China, it's spring all year round in Orlando. Thanksgiving had just passed, so there weren't many people. We didn't need to queue much. It was a great experience.

By original intention |

Because I love fairy tales and animation, I've been to Disney's Magical Kingdom twice! Each time, I've experienced something new! I highly recommend watching the fireworks and riding Space Mountain!

By White grass against the wind |

Magic Park is amazing, with stunning scenery. All the buildings are beautiful. It's a delight to behold. Restaurants must be booked in advance; all the decent ones couldn't be booked on the day. I bought a package of four tickets. It cost less than $300 per person because there was a promotion going on. Be sure to download the app in advance. You'll need it for ordering meals and pastpasses. I regretted not booking FastPass and restaurants in advance. I didn't get to see the fireworks in the evening. I was so tired. We went to Orlando around January 8th, which is generally the coldest time of the year. I was already wearing my big down jacket from Harbin. From IL, AA flights require a $25 checked baggage fee, so it's best not to have a suitcase larger than 20 inches. There's so much I want to write about, but I mainly wanted to summarize it for those who are traveling to Orlando during pregnancy.

By big cat |

The projects are not exciting, but very dreamy. The parade is great. I have to install the official app to make appointments for fasspass and check the waiting time. It is very convenient. The only thing is that the food is very average.

By Monicaca |

I went to MK at the end of September. It was quite crowded. But I could basically enjoy it all day from morning to night. The fireworks show at 9 o'clock in the evening must not be missed. It was super beautiful.

By _melon_ |

It's a dreamy yet fun, fairytale yet mature, a theme park that's definitely worth visiting. I'll be back someday.

By 10 is a number |

Orlando's Magic Kingdom is probably the largest, and what's special is its light show and the tram parade at night! I haven't seen it anywhere else.

By Handsome |

This is the foundation of Disneyland. The official photographers are average, so I suggest you take more selfies.

By Yibo |

A group of 10 of us flew from Maryland to Orlando. Airfare was $190, and we stayed at the Disneyland Hotel for four nights in three rooms for over $1,900. The buffet breakfast was $18 per person plus tip, which was a bit pricey, but thankfully we brought our own instant noodles. Three days of Disneyland tickets cost $308. Since the kids only had three days of spring break, we could only focus on one park. The kids were the happiest.

By xiao Zhengzhou |

I would give it 10 out of 10. It's so fun! So beautiful!

Don't go during peak season!!! Too many people and the queues are too long!!

By Old money |

In fact, if you go to Shanghai Disneyland or Hong Kong Disneyland in the future, you don't have to go here. The projects are similar.

By The Demonic Little Gong |

If you have a ticket, Fass Past can be reserved on the mobile app in advance, so there is no need to queue in the park. The various Rides clearly feel older and stop on the road from time to time.

By Xie classmate_ |

This is really a paradise where you can recall your childhood and become the beginning of your princess dream~

It is no exaggeration to say that I went in with a smile and left with a smile.

By Panda in Guangzhou |

Other places only have Disney Land or Disney Park, but here in Orlando is Disney World. You can spend a whole day in each of the four parks (Magic Kingdom with classic fairy tale theme, Epcot with space theme, Hollywood with Hollywood movie theme, and Animal Kingdom with animal theme). There are also two Water Parks. No wonder many tourists buy a week-long ticket when they come here.

We only bought two-day tickets, and on the first day, we inevitably went to Magic Kingdom. This park is similar to Hong Kong Disneyland, albeit a larger version, with a larger castle and more attractions. The annoying thing was the long lines for every popular attraction, and the park was packed with tourists from all over the world. Before the evening fireworks, there was also a performance of "Frozen," which was absolutely fantastic!

Because we have been to Hong Kong Disneyland many times before, the Magic Kingdom park was not very new to us. Instead, the Disney Hollywood Studios we visited later attracted us more.

By Yve |

Magic Kingdom is a must-see, perfect for all ages. While the attractions aren't particularly thrilling, they're certainly entertaining. The parades, performances, and fireworks are all worth the price of admission. However, the ticket price is quite steep, at $100 per day for the entire park.

Even adrenaline junkies will have a blast here, as you'll see so many familiar characters and scenes. The castle's light show and fireworks display at night are a must-see; it's truly dreamy and romantic! Be sure to grab a good seat in advance!

By Charlene |

The rides are both great! I recommend Splash Mountain and Space Mountain. One is exciting, the other is mysterious.

By Alex P. |

Magic Kingdom, like Epcot, is a must-see among the several theme parks at Disney World. During peak season, when crowds are high, it's impossible to enjoy all the attractions. I strongly recommend buying a Fastpass.

By Alex P. |

There are so many fun things to do in this park, and there are so many tourists during the peak tourist season that one day is not enough to play. I personally recommend buying a fast-entry card such as "Fast Pass" to ensure that you can play all the rides in it.

For more details, please refer to my travelogue: "7 Days in Disney World, Orlando - Little Panpan's Growing Travelogue"

By Smug Beans |

Don't miss the ice cream shop right after the entrance. Delicious!

Disney Lights and Fireworks Show Time: 9 p.m.

The lights hit the castle and the fireworks bloomed behind it, it was very beautiful.

I took this photo with my phone, and it wasn't the best moment. Seeing it live is even more breathtaking.

By Sharon_shao |

If you're going to Disneyland, it's best to stay at a Disney-affiliated hotel. Each hotel has a free shuttle bus to the entrance, so transportation is free. The Magic Band wristband is incredibly useful; it can be used as both a door card and a Fast Pass. Downloading and registering a mobile app lets you change your FP in real time and also acts as a map guide. Having visited various Disney parks in Hong Kong and Japan, the American ones are still the best and most technologically advanced. There's no need to wait in line for 1 or 2 hours for games. It's the ultimate in user-friendly experiences.

By Gio. |

There's only one place to go in Orlando, and that's Disney.

By The wind blows |

We went to Disneyland, which is more suitable for children. Tickets are just over a hundred yuan. Older people like us only visit once, and it's full of princess atmosphere! The float parade and the dynamic fireworks that follow at around 9 pm are particularly worth mentioning. They are absolutely beautiful! For specific times, please refer to the information provided when you enter the park.

By thvexrqo |

I personally think Disneyland is the most boring. After waiting in line until my legs are tired, I always feel that I should not have waited at all. Moreover, we only remembered to set up a fast pass halfway through the park, and the attractions we wanted to go to were already sold out. So I suggest that you decide which attractions you want to use the fast pass for and choose a time before entering the park, and set up the fast pass after entering the park.

By Geya |

I got up at 8 o'clock this morning and arrived at Disney's Magic Kingdom around 9 o'clock.

The Magic Kingdom is Disney's largest theme park, with many exciting street performances. The most anticipated one is the Wishes firework show at night.

The fireworks display usually takes place around 10 pm, so if you don't make it, you'll have missed out on the best of the Magic Kingdom show.

The other games are average, because they are for children, so they are not very exciting.

There are many good street performances in the park. When we went there during the New Year period, there were many Christmas-themed parades and street light shows.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the place was already packed with people, and you could hear different languages from all over the world.

Despite the crowds, everyone was still able to leisurely immerse themselves in this fairytale world. Here are three of the theme park's most popular attractions.

You must get a fast-pass, otherwise you will have to queue for more than an hour for each project.

I got a Toy Story fast pass as soon as I entered the door at 8:30 in the morning, but at that time the fast pass queue was already until 9:40 in the evening.

Next, you can enjoy attractions without waiting in line, such as roller coasters, 3D movies, and musicals. You can then pick up fast passes every two hours at the next attraction. The show Fantasmic! is the one I remember most vividly. There are two shows every evening.



If the must-see at the Fantasy Kingdom is the Wish Firework at night,

Then the must-see at Hollywood Studios is Fantasmic!

By Xiaobo |

I think the most attractive thing about Magic Kingdom is the various parades and performances.

1. Mickey's Parade. Three times daily, staff members dress up in various cartoon character costumes and parade through the park, singing and dancing. You can refer to the parade route on the map and watch it from your nearest location.

2. Dream along with Mickey. This show also runs five or six times daily at set times. It's located in front of the castle, so arrive early and sit in the front row for a better view. The plot is cleverly designed, teaching everyone that dreams are important, and is perfect for the whole family.

3. From 7pm to 9pm, there's a non-stop show on the stage, including animatronics of various Disney characters projected onto the castle. The wait for the 9pm fireworks goes by incredibly quickly, much better than at Epcot. Of course, there are a lot of people, so it's recommended not to sit too close to the front, as this can affect your view of the fireworks. If you're too close, you might miss the fireworks from some angles.

4. The fireworks show at 9 o'clock was a great show, very different from the fireworks show at Epcot. Because of the castle, the fireworks show was more colorful and the children were very excited.

By Fat Penguin |

Many friends have introduced it to me before, such as the 3 big MOUNTAIN. Frankly speaking, I personally think that only SPACE is good. The other two are really SOSO. There is also SEVEN dwarfs which is very good. Oh, there is a TOMORROWLAND SPEEDWAY. Hearing the name, I think it should be an exciting racing car. But the fact is that for safety reasons, your car can only be driven on one track, and this car is probably old. The speed is equal to that of domestic electric cars. The steering wheel must not have power assistance. Friends who like excitement don't need to play it. Oh, by the way, I used FP to reserve the 3 big mountains, so most of the time the queue is at most 5 minutes, which is very suitable. The other projects can be done in the evening.

By Hug Rabbit |

It must be the most crowded! Guests should be prepared to fight for 18 hours a day! Magic Kingdom is actually on a small island, and the train takes you to the lake mouth.

There are two options, one is to take a large ship, which is more time-consuming, and the other is to take the light rail

I asked the staff, and it seems that the queue is almost the same, but taking the light rail is faster.

There is a waiting time at the entrance of each amusement project. It is said to be 25 minutes, but I think it takes at most 20 minutes.

By Zhang Xiaoxixi |

Disney's projects are similar and more suitable for children. Beauty and the Beast has real princesses, which children will like very much.

Personally, I think Disney is more suitable for families with children or couples. Basically, we can finish one park in half a day at a normal pace, and if we play fast, we can finish all five parks in two days.

At nine o'clock in the evening it is time for the fireworks. The fireworks at the main castle are a very worthwhile attraction to watch at Disney.

By Happy Little Joy |

Since I'm studying here, I simply bought an annual pass. Many amusement parks in the US offer annual passes. Regular annual passes don't cover holidays, excluding weekends, which would be a rip-off. They also don't cover theme parks like Halloween and Easter, requiring separate tickets. My classmates and I almost all have annual passes, but we rarely visit more than five times a year. It's nice to feel like we can go in whenever we want, even though we never really go. The main reason is that annual passes aren't much more expensive than three-day passes.



Orlando's Disneyland is the original Disneyland, known as Disney World. The main park is Magic Kindom. Other Disneyland locations, like those in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Paris, are called Disneyland, but they only have Magic Kindom. Generally speaking, for those in their 20s who enjoy amusement parks, Disneyland is pretty boring. Not only are there too many shopping areas, but the rides are also unexciting, and there are often long lines. However, the Fast Pass is free here, so if you plan ahead and get one, it's relatively convenient. I also recommend the 4D theater. I've always been a fan of American 4D theaters; they're always fun and exciting, allowing for a lot of creative possibilities.



There are fireworks every night, and the theme recently was Frozen... Just imagine a large group of people, young and old, singing the Frozen theme song in front of the Disney castle. It's a little exciting, I guess. Hehe. Be sure to get there early to get a good spot, as the countdown will be just as strict as it was during the New Year's Eve celebrations.



Sorry, there is no picture, I will post a picture of the trophy Pluto.

By 99feima |

Since the tickets are booked online, you only need to go to the gate to exchange the card and enter the park.

We basically tried them all. The longest line was for the mine train, which lasted nearly two hours. We also waited an hour to get a photo with a mermaid. My daughter wasn't at all afraid of those crazy roller coasters; she was thrilled. I was a little apprehensive about the haunted mansion, but she kept reassuring me, saying it was fake and not to be afraid.

Overall, it's a great place for kids. I was particularly impressed by the 4D movie featuring Donald Duck. A bowl of fruit appeared, and the aroma of fruit wafted into the air. Then, it plunged into the sea, and mist dispersed. It was incredibly realistic. It was a direct imitation of Hong Kong Disneyland. I felt that Disneyland fully embodied America's technological prowess and advanced management.

Magic Kingdom is an amusement park for people of all ages, and there are no exciting rides.

By Mo Xiaoqu asks the Squirrel God for protection |

A must-see in Orlando. Its hallmark isn't thrilling, but exciting. The meticulous attention to detail reflects Disney's high standards. It'll instantly transport you back to your childhood, leaving you feeling both delightful and deeply moved.

Magic Kingdom is divided into several areas: Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Main Street at the main entrance. You can pick up a map at the entrance and take the park's train to travel between the areas, saving energy. Children's attractions are mostly concentrated in Fantasyland, so adults can spend less time there. Here are a few must-try attractions. Magic Kingdom's best ride is Space Mountain, a dark indoor roller coaster. Since you can't see the track, you have no idea what's going to happen next. It's more thrilling than the previous two roller coasters. There's no inversions, but it's faster and has a steep tilt, so hold on to the handrails. It's a must-try.

This area also has a Speedway, a racing experience project, which involves driving on a designated track. It's okay, but you don't have to play it if there are too many people.

Also, don't miss the movie in Fantasyland: Mickey's PhilharMagic. We almost missed it, but we went in and were thrilled. You'd regret not seeing it. It's a 4D movie starring Disney characters. With your 3D glasses, you follow Donald Duck on an adventure. I could feel the water splashing on my face, and I felt like I could touch the rubies floating before my eyes. The feeling of little fish swimming up to you and giving you a kiss was so adorable that I and others reached out more than once to try to touch the beauty before our eyes. And the experience of flying on Aladdin's carpet is absolutely unforgettable. It's so real, the ups and downs, the wind blowing against your cheeks, the unfettered freedom. As soon as I took off my glasses, I burst into tears. It couldn't have been so perfect, and I just sat in a chair and watched a movie.

I also want to say that there is a haunted house in this park, called Haunted Mansion. There were so many people lining up, so we went there, and it was so boring = = Apart from the slightly interesting beginning, it was just riding in a car and watching some dark forests floating around, which was not interesting at all.

Last time I took the hotel shuttle, I had to take the light rail to get to Magic Kingdom (the core park with the castle). This time I drove, and it was even farther than the shuttle. I had to take an electric scooter to the light rail station... From the scooter on, I was surrounded by a sea of strollers. You wouldn't realize there are so many of them in the US until you visit Disneyland...

I strongly recommend packing light when entering Disneyland. There are lockers at the entrance, so I put my tripod in one (it has four sections, so it barely fits). Otherwise, carrying it all day would have been exhausting. However, it was a long walk to get the tripod, and I ran into the electronics parade.

There were so many people, people everywhere, and strollers everywhere. It's one of the few places in the United States that is always crowded.

Upon entering, you'll first have your bag checked, then swipe your card and have your fingerprint scanned. The fingerprint scanner is shaped like a Mickey Mouse head, and a fluorescent green ring around it will indicate a successful scan! (A reminder: no matter which park you enter, be sure to pick up a map at the entrance. Each park is so large, so it's best to do your homework beforehand and choose your preferred location.)

The first thing that caught my eye was the large castle on Main Street, where the floats and fireworks were set off. Since we hadn't planned ahead, we had a casual stroll on our first day, enjoying a few bites and a few drinks. The parade and fireworks at Magic Kingdom are a must-see. The show features fairytale scenes, princes and princesses, castles, and even Mickey and Minnie. The spectacular fireworks transport you back to a fairytale world. However, due to time constraints, I didn't get to see the evening fireworks this time, so I'll save it for later and bring the kids to see it next time!

Actually, there are no particularly exciting rides in Disneyland that are suitable for adults. We were new there that day and it was a very windy day with scorching sun and heavy rain, so we didn't play many of them.

It was hot the whole time. Even when it rained, it was always sunny. It was really scorching hot! You have to wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen, otherwise your skin will suffer.

Magic Kingdom: Disney's main and largest park, of course, has the most people and the most shows. You can take photos with many characters. I personally still have a childlike heart and like to play with people in the park.

Taking photos together at the attractions, ha, the kids love it the most, even if they queue up for 20 minutes, it's really fun to take photos while still being childish.

To be honest, this time we not only took a lot of photos, but also played a lot of projects in the park.

You can see different performances and other characters almost everywhere you go.

There are also beautiful scenery and buildings in front of the castle. There will be shows when it is time for performances. Sometimes there are 2-3 shows a day.

The only show we watched was the 6pm show, which included the princess, prince, Mickey and Minnie. We loved it.

Magic Kingdom is Disney's main and largest park, so of course it has the most people and the richest programs.

This is a photo we took while riding the train in the Magic Kingdom at Disneyland in Orlando, USA. This park is definitely worth a visit if you have kids with you.

Since we came during the Gardening Festival, there were patterns made of plants everywhere, which were very realistic and cute...

It was fun. I played with my 8-year-old daughter.

If you go to Disney with your kids, this park is a must.

The Magic Kingdom: All of Disney's classic animated characters are here, it is definitely a paradise for children.

I personally think Magic Kingdom is the least fun of the parks, and the projects are relatively uninteresting.

A magical place full of childlike innocence and fun, full of fantasy and colors, a place where you can let your mind fly and reminisce happy memories! The park is very large and there are many people, mostly parents with children of several years old. If you don't want to wait too long in line, it is recommended to plan your time and go to some places where you can get a fast pass, then come to the project at the scheduled time of the fast pass, so that you can use the fast channel and there will be fewer people.

Disneyland is so huge! The park is filled with a joyful atmosphere. Even under the scorching sun, all the dancers and staff wore beaming smiles day after day. Their dedication is truly remarkable!

There is no gender or age restriction here, just enjoy yourself, play all over the park during the day, and watch the fireworks parade at night! It is suitable for family trips, friends trips, or couples trips

Orlando Disney is located in the United States and is also the largest Disney in the world. It is suitable for all ages and you must go if you have the chance.

A must-see. The castle is bigger than those in Hong Kong and Los Angeles and is spectacular. The fireworks display at night is also one of the best.

By the way, let me mention the food. This is a turkey leg from Magic Kingdom. It's very delicious and I was full after eating one. Also, the popcorn sold in the Disney carts is always salty, so if you can't stand it, don't buy it.

There are many drink and ice cream stalls.

The prices of restaurants vary greatly. Don't forget to pick up a guide when you enter the park. It not only has a map but also tells you the cost level.

The most classic Magic Kingdom, quite similar to LA, the parade is very good. If you want to go to multiple parks, it is best to put this one first.

Everyone can choose their favorite place to stand and interact with the cute characters!

According to Cheer's suggestion, I suggest facing the castle, and the right side facing the castle is the best.

Because the parade entered from Central Avenue and then went around the roundabout counterclockwise,

So standing on the right side, you can see all the floats at least once.

After that, the background behind the photo was the castle again.

So this is the best point!

The Magic Kingdom is Disney's most classic park, and it can be found in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Tokyo, or even in Florida. The Cinderella Castle at the end of the typical American street is the most typical impression of Disney at first.

The little girl will never forget Cinderella and her lovely animal friends.

But this is also common in the Magic Kingdom, whether it is in LA, Tokyo, Florida, Hong Kong, etc.

There will definitely be classic games in the Magic Kingdom. In other words...it is actually the most old-fashioned theme park.

I heard that the Hong Kong ones are the most similar to the original LA boards, so it looks like they will definitely have the classic ones too!

I was actually a bit disappointed with Space Mountain at Tomorrow Land. My boyfriend had ridden the one in California and thought it was much better because it was more airtight and felt like you were wandering through the stars. But this one was just pitch black, messy, and spinning around. It wasn't thrilling or fun. It was still pretty scary, though. It was a single-seater. Usually, you hold onto someone's hand tightly on roller coasters, but this one was incredibly scary and not fun at all. The line was incredibly long. You can buy photos of all the track rides in the park after you get out, but it's not really necessary, so I just used my digital camera to capture them.

Back to Magic Kingdom. Having missed the afternoon parade, we couldn't miss the 11pm Electronic Parade. On our way back, we caught the fireworks from Cinderella Castle. It's a classic Disney movie opening scene: a shooting star streaking across the castle, and then the fireworks. It was quite spectacular in person.

There are two ways to get to Magic Kingdom from here: the Monorail or the ferry. I ultimately decided to take the ferry when I first arrived, as it's more time-consuming. For a quicker return, I opted for the Monorail. The weather was still quite gloomy, but it was much better than when I was waiting for the ferry. I figured a boat ride to Magic Kingdom would be even more magical. Indeed, the feeling of approaching the castle from the water was amazing.

Next up is Liberty Square. Perhaps the most striking feature here is the haunted house, which looks a bit scary. But for Asians, cultural differences mean these Western horror elements don't seem to resonate with us. Perhaps it's also because most of our visitors are children. So, this haunted house isn't exactly terrifying. Instead, I found the interior design unique, and the mysterious, European atmosphere was the only thing that captivated me. Consider it a chance to experience the American horror vibe.

After exiting the haunted house, we switched gears and began exploring. We arrived at Frontierland, the fourth area of the Magic Kingdom. Two thrilling rides captivated us: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Splash Mountain. While it sounds thrilling, Thunder Mountain is actually better suited for those less adventurous and children. The seatbelts give you an idea of the ride's difficulty; there are no rolls, just extreme speeds and screams. Most of our group was filled with children, and they screamed the entire way, instantly feeling like they were back in a children's playground.

Further down the road is another area—Adventureland, as the name suggests—for adventure. It's a great place for quick service: a burger, a cold drink, and a dessert—and afterward, you'll be full and motivated to keep going. We opted for the Jungle Cruise, which comes with a fastpass. (Tip: We already had our fastpass, so we went on our food hunt.) This is essentially a science tour of the artificial jungle, with the surroundings designed to be almost realistic. Guests cruise through the jungle on a simulated boat, while the guide, in her distinctive voice, vividly explains its mysteries. For those curious about the jungle but haven't had the opportunity to explore it yet, this is a great place to get a basic understanding.

Tip: Because we were staying at a Disney resort, we were entitled to Magic Hour, which grants special privileges on select days, giving us an extra hour (in the morning) or three hours (in the evening) of play time compared to regular guests. It sounds great, but after touring the entire park in a day, our legs were already tired, so we barely made use of the three hours of Magic Hour at night. However, the one-hour morning and evening stays are quite cost-effective; the parks are indeed less crowded, eliminating long lines and the need for FastPasses. The parks typically open at 9 a.m. and close at 10 p.m., but on Magic Hour days, Disney guests can enter at 8 a.m. or enjoy three extra hours of play time until late at night. It's said that the Magic Kingdom opens with a ceremony, with fairytale characters appearing to greet guests. But that day, we took advantage of the Magic Hour and entered the park at 8 a.m. to begin our adventure.

Magic Kingdom consists of six sections, with the thrills primarily concentrated in the modern Tomorrowland. This includes the indoor high-speed roller coaster, Space Mountain (which, compared to Happy Valley in China, is a relative rarity. Guys might find it unsatisfying, but girls who aren't particularly keen on thrills will definitely scream). The high-speed trains hurtle through darkness, leaving you unpredictable. Thrill-seekers will find this ride exhilarating after a few screams. (Getting a FastPass is recommended; watching the lines standing still while FastPasses zip along is quite satisfying :-D) Another attraction here is Tomorrowland Speedway. It's similar to KartRider in China and perfect for families with children. The speed limit for each car is 20 mph, so you can imagine how thrilling it is.

A highly recommended attraction in this area is Mickey's PhilharMagic, a 3D movie themed around Donald Duck's adventures. It weaves together classic Disney characters and takes you on a journey through a childhood wonderland. The short 3D film, just a few minutes long, left me wanting more.

Magic Kingdom is divided into many areas, but the most important one is the castle and the afternoon and evening parades. The afternoon parades usually start around 3 o'clock, and the evening parades seem to start at 9 o'clock. Today we also had a special dish here, which is sold in all theme parks: turkey legs as big as faces! ! ! !

When I was looking up information, I saw that it said that it is definitely enough for two people. Maybe it is a bit unrealistic for boys with normal appetites. But my little fat boy and I are the kind of people who get hungry easily but don’t eat much, so we only buy one to share each time. Even so, we still end up full every time!

At 3pm, there's the largest parade in all of Disneyland. All the Disney characters will appear, and it's quite impressive. The road will be closed at this time, so pick a good spot in advance, buy some food, and watch from the roadside.

Next, we visited a museum dedicated to American history. Wax figures of every US president from Washington to Obama told the story of the United States. Flash photography was strictly prohibited. Before entering the venue, there was a cordoned-off carpet. I couldn't quite figure out what it was for, but it was related to American independence. There are only three such carpets in the US, the other two being in Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, home to the Liberty Bell. I couldn't understand why they were there. One is the capital, and the other was the first stop on independence. Why would Disney put one there?

There's a castle light show after 9 p.m., and fireworks at 10 p.m. There are two large-scale fireworks shows at Disney World, one at EPCOT's Tomorrowland. Magic Kingdom is more dreamy, while EPCOT's is more majestic. Both are fantastic, but I personally prefer Magic Kingdom's because it's photogenic. EPCOT's photos don't look as good.

Magic Kingdom is Disney's signature theme park, and Hong Kong Disneyland is the Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom is located on a peninsula, and cars can only drive to the transportation center. You can choose two modes of transportation to Magic Kingdom - ferry and shuttle subway. Both are free.

The subway shuttle would have been faster, but I took a boat. As the boat slowly sailed past the castle on the lake, it felt like I had truly entered a fairytale world.

After getting off the boat, there is a very beautiful station in front, where you can take the park's train. Because Magic Kingdom is really big, sometimes it is tiring to walk around, and taking the train will make it much easier. However, the train runs along the edge of the theme park, so to get to the castle in the center of the park, you still have to walk.

The first thing we went to this morning was the haunted mansion. I'd been hesitant about this for two nights. I've always had a strong aversion to haunted houses. Once inside, I realized it wasn't scary at all. Two people sat on a teacup swivel chair, and the whole process of walking through the haunted house was silent. Many of the ghosts were imaged with lasers, which was quite interesting.

Magic Kingdom has three very famous mountains: Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The first one is a rapids ride, and the second two are roller coasters. However, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is closed for maintenance. All three can use fast passes. So you need to get a fast pass and then queue for one of the other two.

The rapids ride and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad are relatively close together.

The reverse direction theory is absolutely applicable in this garden. Don't follow the crowd. When you reach the castle, turn right.

Adults head straight to Space Mountain #33 to get the free game, while kids queue up at Buzz. Buzz Spain is at #37. There's also a Buzz Lightyear shooter, but it's designed differently from the Holywood 4D shooter. In between, head to Monster #39 for some fun. There's no queue, but you have to wait in line to enter. After Monster, the other rides, like #36, 38, and 35, are all air-conditioned. If it's too hot, consider going in to cool off and watch a movie or show. If you have time, be sure to queue up at #32. There's no free game; it's just a racetrack where you get in a car buckled onto a track and start racing.

Head straight to Space Mountain at #33. This indoor roller coaster is average. Compared to Epcot, while it requires a decent height, it's still a bit less thrilling. It's dark inside, so two or three people per ride, just screaming to your heart's content. (#39 to #32 is actually Tomorrowland, the most modern section of Magic. Three hours is enough, so manage your time well.)

After exiting, we headed straight into Fantasyland, our childhood wonderland. As usual, adults went to Peter Pan #23 for the Flying Pig, while the kids lined up at Winnie Pooh #30. The 30-45 minute line was essentially just waiting for a ride on a car to explore Pooh's world—quite boring. After Pooh, it was time for the Flying Pig. If it wasn't time yet, we'd try everything in the area, like Dumbo #29 and the 3D movie #24. At least the movies had air conditioning, didn't we? It's also worth mentioning that while Small World #22 (the boat ride) and Snow White's Scary Adventure #27 are similar to Winnie Pooh, both involve traveling through artificial fairytales in various cars, it's important to maintain enthusiasm and reminisce with the children about the plots and locations of those stories, keeping their yearning for fairytales alive. The next three hours flew by quickly. So, use your Flying Pig to fly with Peter Pan (another journey, haha).

Sleepy Hollow: Funnel Cake (same as above) Main Street Bakery: Cinnamon Roll (fresh from the oven, big and hot)

Store name Storybook Treats: Hot Fudge and Caramel Cookie Sundae

ALOHA ISLE: Dole pineapple iced drinks and desserts like Pineapple Float (perfect for hot weather!)

Of the four theme parks, Magic Kingdom is the most kid-friendly and girl-friendly...it also has the most Disney atmosphere. All the characters, especially the classic main characters, are present. Just a short walk away, you'll see princesses taking photos with children. There are also performances by princesses and princes (and the actors are all very beautiful!).

By kesike |

Magic Kingdom, the Disney theme park with the castle, has two or three parades every day, which you can definitely see from Main Street. There's also a show in front of the castle, featuring princesses, princes, Mickey Mouse, and Minnie Mouse. I loved it! The nightly fireworks display is also set against the castle backdrop. It's very romantic, but not as impressive as Epcot.

Following online guides, I headed to Frontier Land as soon as it opened. Two of MK's three major mountains are located there: Surf Mountain (No. 12) and Thunder Mountain (No. 13). There's a train that goes directly to the entrance. But I walked there on my own and grabbed a fruit waffle on the way.

Then, head to Fantasyland, a place that's definitely for kids. The earlier you get there, the better. Then, head to the circular street in front of the castle to watch the "Move it, Shake it, Celebrate it!" and "Dream along with Mickey" performances. You can grab a meal and then start enjoying the remaining attractions. Arrive early in the evening to reserve a spot in front of the castle for the nighttime parade and fireworks.

There are many adorable characters and princesses here, each appearing at a specific location at different times. There's usually a sign next to each character telling you when they'll be there for photos. There's also an information leaflet at the entrance, telling you where and when each princess or character will appear. You can get a small autograph book and have the characters sign it. Their signatures are so adorable and unique, they're definitely collectible! There's usually a line to get a photo with a character, and the more people interested, the longer the wait... There's no fast track to getting a photo with a character...

In the afternoon, I headed to Magic Kingdom. I was actually quite hesitant about this park. Overall, there weren't any attractions that appealed to adults; it was completely a children's paradise. I only came here for the castle and the evening fireworks display.

Each park has its own style. Magic Kingdom is a fairy tale world.
