We've been to Magic Kingdom twice with our kids in the past to years. The experience has been fantastic both times. It is the only place I have been that is super hot and totally packed with people and yet I don't care! The whole experience from parking to taking the ferry across (which I'd recommend) to going on rides and eating is about as smooth, efficient, and friendly as is humanly possible. I am also amazed by the 1) how clean they keep the park and 2) how friendly everyone is. The lids on the garbage cans even sparkle.

Things I'd recommend:

BIbbiti Bobbiti Boutique - If you have a little girl the BIbbiti Bobbiti Boutique is great. It's a little pricey but it has really been worth it for us the last two years.

The Parade - you can see all the characters on floats and the kids love it

FastPass - this worked well. Shortening the lines for rides

The Steam Engine - it circles the park and my little dude loved it.

I could write a lot about how much we liked Magic Kingdom!

“Disney Never Loses its Magic!”

We spent the day at Magic Kingdom on 4/20/10. I haven't been back to WDW in about 6 years, so I was anticipating this day for a long time. You're either a Disney person or not and I definitely am!

For me, the best way to have an amazing time at MK is to do your research and plan plan plan ahead. We stayed at French Quarter, so it was a quick 15 minute bus ride to the park. We got there about 30 minutes before rope drop and that was perfect. I highly suggest arriving early! The Disney characters come riding out on a the train to help celebrate rope drop. You can see everyone's face light up when they start the opening festivities. Plus the lines are non-existent at opening!

The park wasn't too crowded this day and we didn't have to utilize Fast Pass the entire day!! I thought that was astonishing! The longest wait we had was at Peter Pan for 30 minutes and that's only because their Fast Pass machine went bezerk. We managed to hit up everything we wanted to see and still have time to shop and relax to really enjoy the sights of the park. It was my hubby's first time to MK so I had to guide him through the magic. He was happy to see 5-10 minute wait times at all the popular rides. By 8:30pm, we were finished with everything we wanted to see and it was time to camp out before Spectromagic and Wishes. I recommend the area around the Rose Garden for a great view of both. Spectromagic runs around Main Street and Wishes is right above the castle. Even Tink zip-lines right above you if you're sitting in that area.

There was also some construction going on around the park especially around Fantasyland. I believe only Ariel's Grotto was closed and the construction almost blended in with the sights. It added some excitement since Disney is in the works on building a huge expansion. We ate lunch at the Colombia Harbour House (fried fish/chicken) and then dined at the Plaza Restaurant for dinner (yummy cheesesteaks!).

Our favorite attractions were all the Mountains, Haunted Mansion and Carousel of Progress. "There's a great big beautiful tomorrow...!"

“Thumbs up to Travel BaBees in Orlando Fl”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 21, 2010

We came in from Australia exhausted as you can imagine and was so very grateful to see that our Full Size Crib had already been delivered to our resort villa with the linens already on. It was so great to be able to put our lil guy down for a nap straight away. The crib and linens were perfect, very clean and new looking.
Their service was to be commended from beginning to end.
Cheers to Travel BaBees!
