Magic Kingdom Lands

The original and most popular theme park at the Walt Disney World resort can be overwhelming and become quite crowded, even during the low season (see our Crowd Calendar for more info). We'll tell you how to get the most out of your time and money, and give you our picks for the best attractions and dining in the Magic Kingdom. Read our full Magic Kingdom overview.

Magic Kingdom Touring Plans

Our step-by-step touring plans are field-tested for seeing as much as possible with a minimum of time wasted in lines. They're designed to help you avoid crowds and bottlenecks on days of moderate-to-heavy attendance.

Most of our Magic Kingdom touring plans have average waits of 4 to 12 minutes per attraction (!).

Magic Kingdom Attractions

We have full touring tips, descriptions, author and reader ratings, ride restrictions for every attraction in the Magic Kingdom. We also include many comments from Unofficial Guide readers and attraction backstory via the Disney Dish with Jim Hill.

Magic Kingdom Dining

Get a detailed overview of every full service and counter service restaurant, including ratings of quality, value, cost, as well as reader-survey responses. For full service restaurants, we list the setting and atmosphere, house specialities, our dish recommendations, where to find the menus online, and participation in the Disney Dining Plan.

Magic Kingdom Traffic Patterns

We'll teach you how the crowds behave in the Magic Kingdom, answering questions like "which sections of the park and what attractions do guests visit first?" and "when there are two or more lines, is the shortest wait always in the left line?".

Magic Kingdom Cheat Sheets

We've created a series of color coded, one-page charts to show you the best times to visit every attraction in the Magic Kingdom. These cheat sheets are a great help if you'd like to adapt one of our touring plans to your specific needs. Think of these cheat sheets as pocket-sized insurance against encountering long waits in line.
