  Un parque hermoso que vale la pena visitar. Esta opinión es sobre todo el complejo Disney teniendo en cuenta que soy adulta y voy en pareja sin hijos: Recomendaría la opción park hopper para visitar los parques en 2 o 3 dias, asi evitas perder la opcion de montar en las mejores atracciones en caso de que un dia esten fuera de servicio, y tambien aprovechas mas el dia durando mas tiempo en los parques de mayor interes para ti. Dependiendo la época válida con tiempo si comprar el lightning lane (porque se agota en temporada alta) la diferencia de espera en tiempo es ridícula como ejemplo, si una fila normal tarda 1 hora, con el LL puedes tardar 4min o menos. Hay casos en que las filas pueden tardar hasta 3 horas asi que es costoso pero es justificable el gasto. Comparado con universal es un parque mas infantil por supuesto , los rides no son tan fuertes, pero en tema de organización y atencion esta muy por encima, las LL te dicen el tiempo de espera, cosa que no pasa en universal, la comida rápida es mucho mejor, y el servicio del personal es muchísimo mas amable que en universal. Como recomendación de atracciones Avatar en animal kingdom es el imperdible, es la mejor atracción de todos los parques (incluidos los de universal), el ride de epcot guardianes de la galaxia muy divertido, start wars y the twilight zone en Hollywood studios no estan mal, en magic recomiendo ir solo cuando haya desfile y fuegos artificiales.

  We visited Magic Kingdom Park the weekend following Christmas. This was our second trip visiting the park and it was a surprise Christmas gift! We tried to fit in as much as we could in a day. After 13 hours and 29,000 steps I believe we made the most of what we could. I do recommend buying tickets in advance, downloading the My Disney Experience app, uploading your tickets to your Disney Account and then saving them to your mobile wallet so you do not have to wait in-line at the box office upon arrival (if you're traveling from out-of-state). You'll also want to keep your Disney app open and available as its very useful when navigating the park. We used it often to check ride times and to find food places. It lists the wait times on restaurants, and allows you to view the menu, you could even order ahead. I also liked how the navigation shows how far of a walk it is to the attractions. If this app did not list the showtime, I would've probably missed of the parades and fireworks as well. It is said the times can vary by day and to always check the app for the most accurate information. Its even handy for when rides unexpectedly close. Just know you're going to need the app, download it before you get to the park. I do reccomend strollers for the kids as the park is massive. There is enough time spent on feet just from standing in lines so they will thank you for letting them sit and ride. It's also easier to keep track of then in the crowds. You get a discount when renting one from the park if you're staying multiple days. There are plenty of places to park the strollers when going to ride rides and we even left backpacks and everything in ours. No one ever bother it. If you don't park in stroller parking then someone from staff will move it to where the nearest strollers are located. We never had any issues. Overall, wear comfortable shoes and clothing. Going in December and it was still hot during the day but then had a cold chill at night. It does get dark early. So by 6PM my child and I both needed a light jacket and I was thankful we brought them. It is impossible to do everything in a day. Look over the attractions and showtimed. Figure out what you want to do the most and schedule everything else around it. We did get the photopass this time and as fun as it is to take all the photos, there are long lines for them as well and the photographers are not all that great. Some are but but not all. You would need a whole day just to go around getting pictures from them and to me that's a waste of time if you're wanting to do other things. So we did some but not many. Our must do things at Magic Kingdom were pretty simple. Try the fun foods, watch the parades and see the fireworks. We fit all the smaller rides in where we could. We knew if we did the bigger rides like Tron or Magic Mountain we would not have time for much else. The waits all day were 2-3 hours each. We were able to do alot. The Jr. coaster, Dumbo, Magic Carpets, Under the Sea, Enchanted Tales with Belle (Must do for kids), Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Laugh Floor, and the Prince Charming Carousel. Plus watch the iconic Christmas Parade, see the brand new Disney Starlight Parade at night, which was absolutely beautiful and of course view the Fireworks. Now what I did not know was the park did not close after the fireworks show. You'll see a ton of people rushing out the gates to leave, I recommend just waiting. We ended up staying until the park closed. The ride lines went down drastically after the fireworks, aside from the roller-coasters. All-in-all, show up energized and be ready to have a fun time. If you can manage to work with the crowds and not against them, it's honestly not that bad. Have a plan, be comfortable and rested, bring your water bottle and emergency snacks You will be good to go. I cannot wait until my next visit. This really is the most magical place on Earth!

  I’ll be honest —, but this one felt worth a little fairy dust. If you look at the parks for what they truly are — a full-blown adventure destination, not just “Disney as a company” — it’s easy to see why they’re so special. From the moment you step through the gates, everything feels top-notch and thoughtfully designed. Yes, it’s expensive… but it’s also very much a you get what you pay for experience. The attention to detail, the immersive lands, the storytelling woven into every corner — it all adds up to something truly magical. And honestly, when people invest in an experience like this, they tend to appreciate it more, and that shows in the overall atmosphere. The Cast Members deserve a standing ovation 👏✨ They go above and beyond to make your stay feel special, magical, and smooth — whether it’s answering questions, offering a smile, or helping make a moment feel extra memorable. Even with the crowds (and yes, they can be intense), people are generally kind, respectful, and caught up in the magic just like you are. The rides? Out of this world. 🚀 Especially incredible for younger guests, but there’s still plenty for bigger kids and adults to enjoy. Every attraction feels like stepping into a story, and you can tell how much care went into creating each experience. We visit about twice a year, and every time it still feels exciting and special. That said — fair warning — the crowds can be wild. If you come prepared for that, you’ll have an amazing time. All in all, Disney is one of those places where the magic really is alive. It’s busy, it’s bold, it’s beautiful… and it keeps us coming back for more. ✨🏰💫

  **Planning Tips for Maximum Coverage:** The key to experiencing everything is strategic timing and using the app effectively. The app shows real-time wait times and show schedules, which is absolutely essential for planning your day. Arrive at the parking lot by 7 AM—it takes about 30 minutes to take the monorail or ferry from parking to the park and clear security, so you'll reach by 7:30 AM for rope drop. Stay until after 8 PM as well—wait times drop significantly during these early morning and late evening hours for popular rides. We used the Multi-Lane Pass for attractions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Tiana's Bayou Adventure during these quieter periods. During peak hours (roughly 11 AM to 7 PM), we tackled classic rides like "it's a small world" and Mickey's PhilharMagic, where Multi-Lane Pass spots were readily available even when the park was busy. Keep track of show times through the app and plan your meals around them. Food was plentiful and easy to find—even vegetarian options! Whenever we got hungry, we simply checked the app for nearby restaurants. With a little planning, you can cover almost everything. **The Magical Experience:** It's easy to call something "magic," but truly creating magic is nearly impossible! Yet this is probably the only place in the world that successfully delivers a genuinely magical experience. The rides were beautifully themed—most were boats, trains, or ropeways gliding through stunning Disney production sets that absolutely blew my mind! We visited during Christmas time, and the parades were truly enchanting: Mickey's Christmas Parade, the Starlight Parade, and Minnie's fireworks show were once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Even getting to the park was impressive—a monorail or ferry whisks you from the parking area to the theme park, which itself is a mind-blowing touch! Overall, this was one of the best experiences of my life!

  Visiting Magic Kingdom on Christmas Eve is intense — there’s no sugarcoating that. The park was extremely crowded, lines were long, and it was physically demanding. We logged over 16,000 steps on concrete, and by the end of the day my feet and body were definitely feeling it. If you’re planning a holiday visit, comfortable supportive shoes and pacing yourself are a must. One major challenge was parades and castle shows repeatedly blocking off main walkways, which caused serious issues with getting to Lightning Lane reservations on time. Multiple times, we had Lightning Lane return windows, but entire paths were closed for parades or shows. Guests are required to wait until the parade or show fully passes before being allowed to move, which made navigating the park extremely frustrating. Occasionally a Cast Member would let guests quickly cross if you were lucky, but most of the time you had no choice but to wait — even with timed ride reservations. That said, Lightning Lane is an absolute MUST, especially on peak holiday days. With Lightning Lane, we were able to get on very popular rides in as little as 5 minutes, and the longest wait we experienced was about 30 minutes. Without it, I honestly can’t imagine how long the waits would have been. The Cast Members were incredible. Every ride operator we encountered was kind, upbeat, patient, and full of energy — even during stressful moments. Their professionalism and positivity truly stood out on such a packed day. Some attractions were more enjoyable than others. TRON Lightcycle / Run was a highlight and an absolute hit with my 7-year-old — fast, thrilling, and unforgettable. On the other hand, Haunted Mansion was surprisingly stressful due to restraint requirements that felt excessive for such a slow ride, which took away from the experience. The Christmas parade itself was beautiful and impressive, especially the Toy Soldiers — their precision and coordination were a standout and one of the best parts of the day. Overall, Magic Kingdom delivered special moments and real holiday magic, but peak holiday visits require realistic expectations. Heavy crowds, blocked pathways during parades, and extensive walking make planning tricky — even with Lightning Lane — but with preparation, patience, and built-in buffer time, it can still be a memorable experience.
