Disney's Magic Kingdom Park

Let the memories begin!



In our opinion this is where your Disney adventure should begin! Ideally, you will have at least two days to explore this park, one of the days arriving for 'Rope Drop',  as the magical gates open for the day, and the second day arriving slightly later and staying till the sparkly spectacular finale with Wishes Fireworks.

A little extra magic

Parade: Don’t miss the Festival of Fantasy Parade at 3pm daily.
And at night, be sure to watch the Main Street Electrical Parade, check times beforehand.

Best parade viewing areas: Our personal favourite spot is by Liberty Square, it’s less crowded than Main Street and there is plenty of shade for little ones.

Spellbinding Nightly Shows: Wishes Firework Spectacular is completely unmissable, remember to check times before you go!
Celebrate the Magic is a stunning imagery projection show that lights up Cinderella’s Castle nightly, usually right before Wishes.

Best firework viewing areas: Wherever you view Wishes, it’s a truly spectacular show. Directly in front of Cinderella’s Castle if you want to be in the midst of it all, and don’t mind fighting through crowds. For a more relaxed and unique experience, take the monorail to the Polynesian Resort and watch the fireworks on the beach with a cocktail in hand and the Wishes music serenading you through speakers. For the Celebrate the Magic show, the best vantage point is anywhere on Main Street, the Castle forecourt or any of the surrounding bridges.

Seasonal entertainment: Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is held on selected nights from September 15th-November 1st 2015. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is held on selected nights from November 8th-December 18th 2015.
