Magic Kingdom

The first Walt Disney World park, opened in 1971, and the most visited in the world. Six lands surround Cinderella Castle: Main Street, U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. It brings together the classics (Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Peter Pan) and the newest attractions (TRON Lightcycle / Run, Tiana's Bayou Adventure). You get there by monorail or by ferry across the Seven Seas Lagoon. Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island closed in 2025 to build a new area. Plan on the whole day.
