Walt Disney World – Tips - Magic Kingdom

  • Did you know that you can get a haircut at Magic Kingdom? Visit the Harmony Barber Shop located beside the Car Barn on Main Street.
  • On the Buzz Lightyear ride, aim for the little 'Z's,' they have the most points. And try to hit them over and over again.
  • The Magic Kingdom Park has three ATMs: under the Main Street train station, near the Frontierland Shooting Arcade and at the Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. arcade near Space Mountain. You can exchange most foreign currency at City Hall.
  • If your party decides to split up, remember to set a meeting place and time. But try not to pick any place too busy, like in front of Cinderella Castle, or it may be difficult to find your party.
  • The Magic Kingdom Park covers 107 acres. It opened in 1971 with 23 attractions in six themed areas: Adventureland, Liberty Square, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and Main Street, U.S.A. The seventh themed land, Mickey's Toontown Fair, opened in 1988.
  • Check the tip board on Main Street U.S.A. throughout the day for the current waiting times for the most popular attractions at the Park.
  • Don't forget to bring your autograph book to Mickey's Toontown® Fair where you can find your favourite characters.
  • Watch for Tinker Bell to fly down from the tallest tower on the castle. Look for the sparkles right before the fireworks.
  • If you watch Wishes firework display from behind Cinderella’s castle be prepared for a LONG wait to leave the park, both the monorail and the Launch will have very long queues by the time you have walked to them. However we have watched from here right by the exit from Mickey’s PhilharMagic show, and it was a brilliant view and far more atmospheric than being at the front of the castle, as the fireworks are going off right above you.

    If you have young children that are a little scared by all the loud bangs a better place would be to grab a seat in the Plaza Pavilion, they will get a great view of Tinkerbell flying from the castle just before the fireworks start.
  • Magic Kingdom is huge and has so many rides that inevitably you miss some out, however make time for Mickey’s PhilharMagic, it’s the best 3D show we’ve seen.
  • The same show designer who created the nightime spectacular "Believe" at Disneyland Park also developed "Wishes"
  • If you don't want to ride this attraction but still want to catch a sneak peak, ride the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. It goes right through Space Mountain.
