    • Here, you’ll find a list of popular attractions at Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park.

    1. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

    Travel side by side with your friends and family down the Bayou in an all new story featuring Tiana and her friends from Princess and the Frog.
    2. Space Mountain

    Inside Space Mountain you fly through the stars in the darkness of the galaxy. All throughout the line are Training Exercises to prepare you for your journey through space. A couple different games take you through different missions as you wait to board your space craft. Each training can accommodate up to 86 players at a time and lasts about 90 seconds. Once you pass your training course, you are ready to take off on your intergalactic adventure. Zoom through the darkness of space aboard your rocket ship on this indoor roller coaster that is a truly out of this world experience!
    3. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

    Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a train ride like you have never experienced before. Out in the Wild West, you fly through a 200 foot mountain and abandoned mine shaft on your journey back to the railroad station. This coaster puts you in a 5-car locomotive full of twists, turns and drops. For an even bigger thrill, try and get a spot in the back of the train.
    4. Happily Ever After

    Be sure to experience your own happily ever after with the Happily Ever After fireworks at Magic Kingdom. This astounding fireworks extravaganza featuring lights, lasers and special effects––including all-new projections down Main Street, U.S.A.

    Adventureland at Magic Kingdom

    Adventureland is a place of excitement and exploration. Here you'll find some of the most classic attractions that you'll also find in Adventureland at Disneyland... with a few twists of course.

    Here is what you can expect to find on your journey through Adventureland at Magic Kingdom:

    1. Jungle Cruise - Any height ride, Lightning Lane Multi Pass
    2. The Magic Carpets of Aladdin - Any height ride, Lightning Lane Multi Pass
    3. Pirates of the Caribbean - Any height ride, Lightning Lane Multi Pass
    4. A Pirate’s Adventure ~ Treasures of the Seven Seas - Scavenger hunt-type attraction, complete on your own
    5. Swiss Family Treehouse - Any height, climb and explore this home in the sky
    6. Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room - Any height
    7. Meet Characters from Aladdin - Any height

    If you've visited Disneyland, you'll find the east coast versions of both Pirates of the Caribbean and Jungle Cruise are quite different.

    If you're a fan of the Jungle Cruise, you'll want to make a Lightning Lane reservation early, because it tends to be one of the most popular attractions and return times can run out. Additionally, fans of the Jungle Cruise attraction will want to dine at Skipper's Canteen, which is a restaurant that feels like an extension of the ride. It's the same atmosphere and silly jokes, but with delicious food! It completely immerses you in the story of Jungle Cruise.

    Visitors to Adventureland will also want to visit Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room for a glimpse into Walt's favorite Disneyland® attraction. You can get a taste of the islands (in a few flavors) with a Dole Whip from Aloha Isle, and learn how to become a pirate at The Pirates League.

    Find a whole new world on The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, climb the Swiss Family Treehouse and search for treasures you can take home at one of the bazaars.

    There is so much fun to have in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom. You're sure to make memories of your many adventures here.

    No visit to Walt Disney World is complete without a visit to Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom. You'll be completely immersed in fairy tales from the moment you step foot into Fantasyland.

    Be sure to plan enough time to visit all of the attractions, as Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom has over a dozen to experience.

    Peter Pan's Flight is one of the most popular Lightning Lane reservations. Return times tend to run out early, so if riding without a wait is important to you, it should be your first selection. However, Peter Pan's Flight has one of the most whimsical and interactive queues. The only way to experience this is via the standby line, so if you're a fan, you may want to go through the regular queue. Just keep an eye on wait times in the My Disney Experience App.

    Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is another top priority for many guests visiting Magic Kingdom. You can ride this attraction via the standby line or by purchasing a Lightning Lane Single Pass.

    If you're staying on-property, be sure to take advantage of the Early Entry, which gives you access to each of the four theme parks every day of your stay (with theme park admission of course).

    Early Theme Park Entry allows resort hotel guests to ride the attractions while the park is closed to the general public. We recommend arriving an hour prior to park opening to take full advantage of Early Hours.

    Guests staying at a Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Walt Disney World Resort Hotel also get the added benefit of Extended Evening Hours. Extended Evening Hours give guests two hours of access to most Magic Kingdom attractions AFTER the park closes on select nights.

    When visiting Magic Kingdom you'll also want to be sure to make a reservation for at least one of two of the hottest restaurants in all of Walt Disney World; Cinderella's Royal Table and Be Our Guest Restaurant.

    Cinderella's Royal Table is a character dining meal located inside Cinderella's Castle that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. You'll make your selections from a three course prix-fixe menu while meeting some of your favorite princesses, including Cinderella herself. It is every young princesses' dream come true.

    The Be Our Guest Restaurant is located inside the Beast's Enchanted Castle. While not considered character dining, the Beast makes an appearance and will parade through the restaurant during your meal.

    This Beauty and the Beast themed restaurant will make you feel like you've stepped into the animated film with three distinct dining rooms; The Grand Ballroom, The Rose Gallery and The West Wing. Be Our Guest is open for lunch and dinner, and serves a three course prix-fixe menu for adults and children. Dinner also includes non-alcoholic beverages. Some specialty beverages are available for purchase as well. All guests will have the option of the gray stuff for dessert included. Try it; it's delicious!
