Hey Anita!
You are definitely
not out of luck. The key to experiencing as much of the Magic Kingdom as possible is to
arrive early.
If you arrive at 'rope drop', you will get to experience quite a few of the popular attractions before a majority of the crowds arrive without the need for making
FastPass+ selections. If you have some attractions you must experience go there first as some, such as the lines for
meeting Anna & Elsa at Princess Fairytale Hall and the new
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, do fill up quickly.
When it comes to eating at the Magic Kingdom some of my favorite spots are quick service restaurants including my absolutely favorite,
Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Café. Quick service restaurants do not require an Advanced Dining Reservation. If you are looking for a tasty treat stop by
Aloha Isle for Walt Disney World's famous Dole Whip.
After lunch I suggest experiencing some of the rides and shows with historically low wait times such as the iconic It's A Small World, Mickey's PhilharMagic and Country Bear Jamboree.
I hope this helps with your planning. If you have any other questions please come back and
see me.
Wishing you a practically perfect Disney day!
