    Hello Robbie! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!

    Before you know it, you will be enjoying a day in Magic Kingdom Park. How exciting! No matter how many times I visit, I still get goosebumps every time I walk down Main Street, U.S.A. and get a glimpse of Cinderella Castle. It is just so magical!

    You are correct that Let the Magic Begin takes place most days at 8:55 a.m. Even though Magic Kingdom Park opens at 9:00 a.m., Guests are typically allowed into the theme park a little earlier. In my experience last month, we were allowed in 30 minutes prior to theme park opening. You can make your way down Main Street, U.S.A., visit the shops and get some pictures in front of Cinderella Castle during that time. Then the rest of the theme park will open at 9:00 a.m. Getting there early is a great way to maximize your time in Magic Kingdom Park! The crowds are lower during this time and you can experience attractions with less wait time before the theme park starts to fill up. I highly recommend it!

    Enjoy your visit to Magic Kingdom Park, Robbie! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
