Hi Melissa!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Mom Panel. Your Walt Disney World vacation will be here before you know it!
The plan you have outlined for the Magic Kingdom is practically perfect. My family followed a very similar plan on a recent trip. We arrived at the Magic Kingdom in time to watch the Rope Drop ceremonies then jumped on the Walt Disney World Railroad and headed back to New Fantasyland. Since we had been able to catch the very first train leaving the Main Street, U.S.A train station we beat almost everyone who had chosen to walk. We were able get on all our favorite attractions with virtually no wait. After a visit with Ariel in her brand new Grotto, we headed over to Tomorrowland. While the crowds were growing by that time, we were still able to ride every ride we wanted with minimal wait times.
On your second day at the Magic Kingdom, your should be able to follow the same method to visit Adventureland, Frontierland and Liberty Square.
If you are looking for attractions ideas, visit the
Attraction page on the Walt Disney World website which allows you to filter attractions by location, interest and thrill level.
Please come back and visit us if you have any more questions as you continue to plan your magical Disney vacation.
Have a pixie-dusted day!
