The largest Disney World park is Disney's Animal Kingdom. It covers an area of covering 580 acres (230 ha), making it the largest theme park in the world. The smallest Disney World park is Disney's Magic Kingdom and spans an area of only 107 acres (43 ha).
There's too much in the park to easily do in a single day. It's probably more of a one-and-a-half or two-day park. That said, this is a one day itinerary post, and there are a few approaches you can take to have one very good nearly perfect day at Magic Kingdom.
If you arrive a half hour before park opening on a quiet day and just walk through the lands without doing anything or stopping to look at anything, it would probably take about 90 minutes to see all the areas. (But what fun would that be?)
Magic Kingdom has the most rides of the Walt Disney World parks. With over 30 attractions ranging from a peaceful riverboat to iconic classics like “it's a small world” all the way to intense thrill rides like Space Mountain or Tron Lightcycle / Run, there is definitely lots for guests of all ages to see and do here.
Magic Kingdom may be the smallest park in terms of acreage, but it's also Disney's most crowded park. That makes it a bit of a hectic experience, especially since the walking paths go in every direction.
2. Size Comparison: Which Is Bigger? If we compare the size of these two parks, there really is no comparison. With around 840 acres, Universal Orlando Resort is much smaller than Disney World but still quite substantial in size.
EPCOT is Disney World's theme park at which you will do the most walking! For example, it is roughly 0.85 miles from the front entrance of EPCOT to the rear of the park.
According to friends, family, and personal experience, we walk at least 10-12 miles on an average day visiting the parks. This is a lot more than many of us walk normally!
Add in different eating habits & food, less rest, and more time spent on your feet, and many will quickly notice the hours and steps logged daily. According to friends, family, and personal experience, we walk at least 10-12 miles on an average day visiting the parks. This is a lot more than many of us walk normally!
In general the best days of the week to visit the Disney World parks are Tuesday and Wednesday. The reason being is many families find that you need an entire week for a Disney vacation and typically arrive on Saturday or Sunday. We find weekends and Monday to be the busiest days at Walt Disney World.
If you really just want to do theme parks every single day of your trip, then I'd suggest 2 full days at Magic Kingdom, 1 or 2 full days at Epcot, and then one day at each Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.
Magic Kingdom has fireworks every night of the year. Most of the time they are free with your park admission. However, there are a few nights in the fall and winter where you'll need a special ticket.
Magic Kingdom Fireworks are at 9pm on most nights. If there is a special event like Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party the fireworks may be earlier, or may not be scheduled for regular guests visiting that day.
Between the rides, stage shows and other entertainment, there is a ton to see and do at Magic Kingdom and the pressure to experience everything can be anxiety-inducing, to say the least. Admittedly, to truly see and do it all at Magic Kingdom, you do need to spend at least two days.
Arriving at the Magic Kingdom 30–60 minutes before official opening ensures the shortest possible waits for rides. Off-site guests, who aren't eligible for Early Theme Park Entry, should arrive 30 minutes before official opening on all days.
