Welcome to planDisney Catherine! Thanks for dropping in with your question.
Flying over the pond from the United Kingdom to Florida and not visiting
Walt Disney World Resort would be quite upsetting but it seems like you have found a day where you can make it happen. For some reason, I am very excited about your 1 day of fun. It's probably because you are visiting for other reasons and squeezing in a day at
Magic Kingdom Park would be the exact way for me to spend the 24 hours I had available for a possible visit. You are visiting very soon and when I checked the
Park Availability Calendar it currently shows all the parks are available for your arrival date. Now that can change over the next couple of days. But if there is availability you absolutely can purchase the one-day ticket on the day of your visit.
If for some reason Magic Kingdom is not available you can and should consider the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays which is in full swing. All of the holiday vibes will be in the air, and the Cookie Stroll is always worth mentioning. I mean who doesn't love a nice walk? And a walk with stops where you can get cookies? This festival has so many things to offer. Check it out if you have the time!
If you have any other questions stop back anytime to
planDisney.com. Have an amazing time on your visit.
See ya real soon,
Jeremy A.
