Walt Disney World is an amazing vacation but it can be overwhelming. \u00a0Magic Kingdom is the most popular of the four Disney parks making it hard to navigate at times. Here are a few tips on how to get the most out of your Magic Kingdom visit.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get There Early<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As you can imagine, Magic Kingdom is the most popular and the most busy of all the Walt Disney World four main parks. \u00a0In order to get the most out of Magic Kingdom, get there before rope drop (official opening). \u00a0This allows you to get through security and bag check, take a quick bathroom break, and line up at the gates ahead of the majority of the crowd. \u00a0A welcome show that includes a variety of characters, the Walt Disney World Railroad and people from Main Street greet guests prior to rope drop and is a fun and unique experience. \u00a0The biggest advantage to getting there early though happens once those gates open up, those that have arrived early are the first inside the park where they are able to avoid long wait times, take advantage of the little crowds and have a magical experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u00a0Be Different<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Once the gates have opened at Magic Kingdom, the majority of guests head to Tomorrowland or Fantasyland. \u00a0In Fantasyland, many race to ride the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Peter Pan, and see the Enchanted Tales with Belle or the princesses at Fairytale Hall. \u00a0Space Mountain is the main focus of guests in Tomorrowland. \u00a0Be different. \u00a0Instead of heading to these areas, go towards Adventureland and Frontierland. \u00a0You will be greeted with an almost empty park. \u00a0You are able to enjoy a variety of rides such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Caribbean without much of a wait. \u00a0\u00a0Step out of the norm and head to these less popular lands!<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \u00a0Use Your FastPasses<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        So if you aren\u2019t heading to Fantasyland or Frontierland, how are you going to ride those ever popular rides? \u00a0The answer is use your FastPasses for those high-demand rides. \u00a0The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is one of the most popular rides in Magic Kingdom right now and guests can wait up to two hours in stand-by. \u00a0Skip that line by making sure you sign up for your FastPasses at your first chance (60 days for resort guests, 30 days for non resort guests). \u00a0Other rides that can have long waits are Peter Pan\u2019s Flight, Space Mountain, and Enchanted Tales with Belle. Take advantage of this system and get those FastPasses to limit your wait time to popular rides. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
