Hey there, Shanon! Welcome to planDisney. Thanks for stopping by to bring us your question!
Oh, I am buzzing with excitement that you're planning a visit to Magic Kingdom! There’s nothing quite like that first glimpse of Cinderella Castle, the smell of Main Street's sweet treats in the air, and the pure pixie-dusted joy of stepping into the magic!
Now, if you want to make the most of your day (and trust me, you do!), I highly recommend arriving bright and early! We’re talking about an hour before the official park opening. Why? Because the magic starts before you even walk down Main Street.
You’re going to love kicking off your magical day with the
Let the Magic Begin welcome show at Cinderella Castle, where Mickey and friends welcome you in the most enchanting way. And once that ribbon of pixie dust is cut, it’s time to make a bee line to your
favorite attraction! Whether you're aiming for a thrilling launch on
TRON Lightcycle / Run or planning a dreamy first ride on
Peter Pan’s Flight, arriving early gives you a jumpstart on all the fun.
Don’t forget that if you're staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can take advantage of
Early Theme Park Entry, which gives you an extra 30 minutes of magic before the park opens to everyone else. It's the perfect way to check a must-do ride off your list before the crowds roll in!
To see the specific park hours for the day you are visiting Magic Kingdom, check out the park hours on the My Disney Experience app, or
on the website for the most accurate and up-to-date schedules.
So, set that alarm, grab some yummy Disneyfied Joffrey’s coffee, and get ready for an unforgettable day! If you need any more tips, like where to snag the best castle photo before the park fills up, ask away.
I’m always happy to sprinkle a little extra pixie dust your way!See ya real soon! Emille
