Park Planning Tips & Strategy For Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom is the largest park and ideally we recommend that you break it up into two park days. Follow these 2 Dis Chicks tips based on the number of Magic Kingdom park days you have.
FastPass+ Tip for One Magic Kingdom Day: Select your top three FastPass+ choices. Make a list of the other must-see attractions and work your way around the park, starting in Fantasyland. Arriving at park opening will allow you to maximize your time.
FastPass+ Tip for Two or More Magic Kingdom Park Days: Magic Kingdom is broken into six sections, or lands: Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square and Main Street, USA. If you plan to go to Magic Kingdom two days, try to maximize your time by going to three lands on the first day and the other three lands on the second Magic Kingdom day. Because Fantasyland has the most popular attractions for young children, this area becomes busy shortly after park opening. We suggest starting here first while lines are shortest.
