Welcome to planDisney, Kathlyn! It seems like you're planning quite the adventure for your upcoming visit. My answer will have you covered if you're looking to traverse the major lands of Magic Kingdom with breaks in between. If you're seeking advice for a different sort of plan, please visit us again and ask another question: we're more than happy to help our fellow guests!
Come along with me for the perfect one day itinerary at
Magic Kingdom! It starts with our arrival for Early Entry. As Disney Resort hotel guests, we get some extra time in the morning to grab a pastry and coffee from the Main Street Bakery while taking in the sights and sounds of Main Street, U.S.A. With our hunger quelled, the first stop is Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. After riding, let's head to Tomorrowland for the start of regular park hours and join the queue for TRON Lightcycle / Run. We spend the rest of the early morning blasting bad guys on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin and hurtling through the cosmos on Space Mountain. For our first break, let's hop on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover and rest our feet for a moment.
The next land on our agenda is Fantasyland. No trip to Disney World is complete without a quick ride on Dumbo, then we hop on a horse at Prince Charming Regal Carrousel. We take turns trying to pull the sword from the stone before taking a ride on the happiest cruise that ever sailed: "it's a small world." We take a break in the air conditioning at Mickey's Philharmagic, then head to
Columbia Harbor House in Liberty Square for lunch.
It's time to visit the happy haunts at Haunted Mansion, then do some pin trading and window shopping at Memento Mori and Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe. Next, we mosey on into Frontierland for our turn on the wildest ride in the wilderness at
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad before spending some time with Tiana and friends on Tiana's Bayou Adventure. As Frontierland transitions to Adventureland, we pop into the Beak & Barrel for a quick snack and beverage break before our day comes to a close.
Emerging into the sunlight from the pirates' tavern, we swashbuckle and sing along to Pirates of the Caribbean before settling in for an amazing experience with the crooning birds of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. We take a quick cruise across the exotic rivers of the world on Jungle Cruise, and I can't resist the urge to grab a Dole Whip at Aloha Isle. Even though you insist that having dessert now will spoil my appetite for our dinner reservation at The Plaza Restaurant, I have to have a little treat!
With dinner complete, we check out the merchandise, pins, and apparel at the Emporium before scoping out our spot on the hub for
Happily Ever After. We pose for a picture near the Partners statue, and the
PhotoPass photographer says it looks like we've had an amazing day. We nod in agreement before oohing and ahhing at the fireworks display above our heads!
This should paint a picture of what a one day trip through Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Frontierland, and Adventureland can look like, Kathlyn! If you're looking for help with another park or are taking on the challenge of visiting all four theme parks in one day, just come on back to planDisney and let us know! We can't wait to help make your visit the best it can possibly be.
Stay magical,
Scott
