Magic Kingdom is a theme park built at Disneyland image for Walt Disney World Resort, located in Orlando, Florida. It is a magical realm for the young at heart of any age. The castle emblem of the park is that of Cinderella. The park is split into countries such as Main Street, USA; Frontierland; Adventureland and Mickey’s Toontown Fair, among others. Main Street, USA has the restaurants and shops but it is the only country without a permanent attraction. You will find the statue of Walt Disney holding Mickey’s hand and the other of his brother Roy O. Disney sitting on a bench with Minnie.

Tips

If you want to enjoy the park in a quieter period, go between late September and mid-November and from mid-January to March. Try using the Disney’s fastpass especially for the attractions which you stand to make. It’s free. You can have it in the machines at the entrance where you have to insert your ticket. A good way to visit the park, especially if you have just a day to go, it would be to buy your tickets on line and even print you a map to mark the attractions you will not want to miss. This will allow you to direct you more easily and do not lose much time. It’s impossible to see everything in a day. Bring bandages especially if you have children as it is very difficult to find a place where to buy it. If you stay at a Disney park, you will have a few extra hours to enjoy the park when it is closed to the public. They generally offer other benefits if you buy the whole stay with them.
