Magic Kingdom Park | Walt Disney World Resort.
Q: What are the three best parks at Disney World? A: The three best Disney World parks are: #1 – Magic Kingdom, #2 – EPCOT, #3 – Animal Kingdom. Unfortunately, Hollywood Studios comes in at fourth on our list because it is very busy with long lines and better suited for teens.
Originally opened in 1995, Blizzard Beach is by far the most under-the-radar park in Disney World, which is understandable considering its focus as a water-specific park. And let's fact it: water parks aren't everyone's cup of tea.
A Magic Kingdom itinerary is simply a must if your family only has one day at Disney World. The main reason being the Magic Kingdom Park is by far the most-visited theme park in the world.
There are some generalizations about the busiest days in each park which still do have some validity. Many guides suggest that you start with Magic Kingdom first, followed by Epcot and then Hollywood Studios. This leaves Animal Kingdom as the last Disney theme park to visit on your trip.
While Magic Kingdom has MORE attractions, EPCOT has some of the NEWEST attractions. Frozen Ever After, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind have all been added to EPCOT more recently than any ride at Magic Kingdom.
Driving from the Magic Kingdom to EPCOT entails taking the Monorail, a watercraft, or about a 30-minute walk to the Transportation and Ticket Center (where the Magic Kingdom's Parking lot is located), then driving the 4+ miles to EPCOT.
If you're into rides more than general theme park merriment and atmosphere, we suggest skipping Epcot, as it doesn't offer as many thrills. However, families, foodies and world's fair enthusiasts will likely enjoy their time at this concept park.
One of the most significant features to look forward to when visiting Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, is the various attractions. In terms of which Disney World park has the most rides, Magic Kingdom beats all other parks by far.
Most Common Trip Length – 4 or 5 Days: This trip length works well for most people because you can visit all four Disney World theme parks, even possibly enjoy a second day at a favorite park, and it fits within most people's work vacation limits.
A: The busiest day at The Magic Kingdom tends to always be Monday. This is because many families plan a week long vacation to Disney World, and typically receive the best deals by traveling Sunday or Monday.
The fast pass version isn't as good as the regular version. Be sure to try both. So yes, it's entirely possible to visit four Disney parks in one day, even with kids in tow.
Plan to spend more than 1 day at Magic Kingdom. If time allows, you will probably want to spend 2 days at Magic Kingdom theme park (maybe even 2.5 days).
EPCOT is arguably the least family-friendly park at Walt Disney World, so you may not need more than a few hours to do everything of interest if you have small children. With that said, a full day at EPCOT is highly recommended for first-timers.
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.
I would say Hollywood studios and animal kingdom, but as others have said doing Epcot and Hollywood studios on the same day make sense because they are so close together. The only problem with starting at Hollywood and ending at Epcot is it would preclude you from attempting to ride Guardians of the Galaxy.
In the parks, bottled water runs about $3.50-$4, or if you're using the Disney Dining Plan you can pay with a snack credit. There are two places to get water for free: water fountains and Quick Service restaurants.
