Magic Kingdom is the original Walt Disney World park and the one most people picture when they think of Disney — Cinderella Castle, classic rides and the widest range of things to do for young kids.

What to Expect

Magic Kingdom is divided into six themed lands — Main Street U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland — each with its own rides, shows and atmosphere.

Must-Do Attractions

Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train are among the park’s most popular rides, typically drawing the longest lines.

Is Magic Kingdom Good for Young Kids?

Magic Kingdom is genuinely the most kid-friendly of the four Disney World parks, with Fantasyland built specifically around younger children and characters throughout the park.

How Long Should You Spend?

A full day is typically enough to hit the major attractions, though families with young kids or a strong interest in every ride may want to split it across two visits.
