Definitely great for the little ones plan on getting thousands of steps and most importantly plan your visit. The disney app really came in handy with wait times and overall navigation as first timers

The weather was beautiful and.......... that's about as much positivity I can say about my experience. First of all they didn't accept my mask for entering the park so there goes $2. Afterwards the price of tickets are astronomically high for the experience.
Heaven forbid that your mask slips off your nose for a second or you try to fix it, you will be "reminded" to fix it or they will ask you to leave.
Overall magic Kingdom...... no thank you

It's been 15 years and still love it. Lighter traffic helped. Disney has done an amazing job of cleaning as well as dividing and managing the foot traffic.
Also new dividers on the monorail permits complete division with two per seat. Plenty of hand sanitizer to go around.
I tip my hat to the Disney Cast Members and Management, nicely done!

It was an experience to have. However I hate due to covid no firework show at night and no Disney characters walking around to take pictures with. We only got to see characters in the parades. Disney did everything they could to keep everyone safe. Just feel I/we missed out just a little

I love Disney and we do our vacations in their cruises and resorts every year but although I am always impressed with their imagination and service I am extremely dissatisfied with the fact they are not really enforcing the 6 ft rule. We wear our masks but people are literally breathing down our necks on the line. Sure it may be hard to identify which party you are part of but some are extremely obvious based on skin color. More line supervision would be great.

Second time being here. Came for the wife's birthday because she's never been. We've done Disney Tokyo, so she was thrilled to see how much more is offered here. Even with COVID restrictions a lot is still available to do. If anything, it's made the experience a little nicer because the crowds are so much smaller. Word of advice, make sure you make your park reservations when you buy your tickets and pay for the park hopper option. Gone are the days of unlimited travel between parks. Means you really have to plan how you want to spend your days.

I love Magic Kingdom. It's an amazing park for adults and kids alike. It's also one of the best parks for people with certain disabilities, since there are lots of more gentle rides and shows here, along with thrill rides for those who want them. The food leaves a bit to be desired. Now with Covid, there are few decent quick service options for vegetarians.

I wish we could get our money back. We weren t even here for 2 hours. This place was PACKED, I thought there was limited capacity? 75 min wait time for a 5 min ride. How can you wait in a line for 75 min with two small children? Y all give Disney way too much hype, we honestly had more fun at Seaworld.

Give this park a second chance, although I believe it is not the best of what Disney world has to offer it's still offers a lot. There are many new rides coming soon to this park. Don't forget to reserve a dinner at the beauty and the beast Castle it's an experience you won't forget. It consists of a three-course meal and the food is really delicious.

Open for businesses with robust COVID precautions. Continual but gentle reminders to keep things going smoothly. Lines are longer physically because out social distancing, but the wait times are about the same. Two pieces of advice. Firstly, download and use that My Disney Experience app. Secondly, if you are wanting to dine at any of the sit-down restaurants, make your reservations WELL in advance. (Up to 60 days on the app.)

Being a true Floridian and having visited the Magic Kingdom more times than I can count .. it's always fun to witness a child's first visit. The crowds can be a bit overwhelming and the lines for the rides I still cannot grasp the wait time on, thankfully we had fast passes but I feel only allowing three at a time is def a negative and caused us to bypass for things we wanted to see and it do. I know it's impossible to see and ride everything in one day but the amount of people almost takes away the happiness of a first visit. The staff were all friendly. I would suggest filtered and chilled water fountains to refill water bottles due to the long wait the concession stands ... The app was a def life saviour!

As always, Disney never disappoints! I was glad to see they were enforcing masks and strict with their policy. I was a little shocked at how packed it was, but i did go on a Saturday. I thought they would be at reduced capacity. But there was hand sanitizer everywhere!!!! And they had random stand alone sinks to wash your hands with soap. We saw several of the characters walking around for their mini parades, which were super cute. Also, we were able to get last minute walk in reservations at Be Our Guest, the Beauty and the Beast restaurant, it was amazing! Glad we did it!

I have a 3yo girl who wanted to see princesses. This was a complete disappointment, with the theater being closed and no dedicated appearance times she didn't see not a one floating around the park. Never realized how much this place is full of stores. The line movement was decent enough but would of liked her to have had a more "magical " experience.

Disney is magical in every way. I had never understood the draw for adults until I had the privilege of sharing a multi day vacation with family. I appreciate the light of enchanting youth that shines so brightly and is absolutely reignited for adults who may have forgotten it, in every Disney moment. I am in awe of the exceptional attention to detail, the unequivocal commitment to positive family experience and I am so grateful for each person who contributed to an absolutely delightful time from beginning to end. I cant wait to come back

Pure magic at the Magic kingdom. Delightful for both parents and children combined. Lots of attractions and very reasonable lines. The kids seriously love coming here and it's a place we've been to several time over the years - never gets boring! Rides are all well maintained and the displays look fresh and updated, with lots of exciting animatronics.

I know the pandemic has changed a lot of things and it was felt at this park. All cast members were very friendly. Lines extremely long (as this was my first time I could not compare to any other line times). No shows happened and no autographs or meet and greets. Took away from the magic of everything. The castle was stunning both during the day and at night.

As a person who never really thought of Disney the way the rest of the world does, I would happily go back here. Loved the experience and the atmosphere. Happiness is an abundance from the cheerful crew and cast to the rides and activities. 10 out of 10 would recommend over and over again.

Always and forever my happy place! With capacity increased, it's time for more virtual queues, or FastPass! Couldn't even go shopping... the line to get in the Emporium was all the way down to Casey's! But the overlays on the castle made up for it! 11/24 UPDATE, I am VERY happy to report- Disney heard us - again! The Fast Pass returns in January!

It was okay. Really long lines even with the capacity cap. The folks that work there are mostly rude with a few exceptions. Apparently they were not doing fast passes but tons of people had them? Anaheim Disneyland in my opinion is much better.

Magic Kingdom is all about character experiences. It is truly Magical when the 3 pm parade rolls out and the fireworks show at the park close. This park contains a few thrill rides but the majority of the rides can be geared towards younger children. Magic Kingdom is magical and all about taking in the Disney experience.

I was unsure about social distance protocol, but I was impressed about the safety Environment and the Re-forcing mask wearing along with the shortness of lines I was able to enjoy most raids than ever seems like it s the best time to go in terms of safety, money and productivity about past one day in one park even do you won t be able to take pictures with characters a less you see them at the parade

If I'm being 100% honest...the there was no MAGIC in our visit. No characters were out, just a deserted ghost town. When I was a kid, this was the most amazing place on earth. Covid clearly happened here. Beautiful sight to see though. Seaworld was so much better!

I greatly appreciate the lengths they went to to still make this (to their best efforts) the most happy place on earth. There are signs aplenty showing the appropriate distance between parties. If only the other guests would use their brains and do so (appropriate distancing) . Not Disney's fault mind, the people.

Magic experience! My daughters love Disney Park! Normally the lines are crazy but with the COVID regulations everything runs great! No more than 45 minutes waiting in lines. Most of the rides only 5 to 15 minutes wait!

Couldn't even take off your mask to take a photo infront of the park (no one was near us but the one worker). Then my son was eating and he was told he wasn't allowed to eat and walk he had to have his mask on. The park was at 50% capacity and the lines were still an hour plus. Also prices at disney for one day at a park are out of this world. We did it so our kids would have the experience but I hope to never go back

I would not recommend Disney until they remove the mask policy. It is ridiculous to ask everyone to wear a mask all day under threat of being removed from the park and presumably welded in your room, china does that. I unfortunately have another day and night here but I feel compelled enough to write this to hopefully discourage someone from wasting money on a trip here.

It was so much fun. The lines weren't very long people are always friendly and helpful. It is the most enjoyable vacation ever. They had what I call Pop Up parades. It was little parades with character so that you could still see them and they weren't very long but very enjoyable

I visited magic kingdom twice and will visit it more if I can. It is indeed a wonderful place and experience. Kids , teenagers, and adult will absolutely fall in love with it. Just remember to take a photo of your parking spot , the parking area is huge. You can easily get lost if you relay on your memory. It took me an hour to find my car but it was my fault. Also wear a comfy shoes and clothes because you will lose track of time. I spent 15 hours in this magnificent place. Price of ticket was reasonable I would say. Oh one last thing, if you lose your kids , don t worry you will find them easily . Just ask the security guards , they will put your kids in safe place with fun activities just like daycare!

My family visited a couple of years ago and had a blast. All the cast members are so friendly and helpful and go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful time. I am hoping to go next summer depends on where the country is with the COVID-19 vaccine. Looking forward to things getting back to normal.

Went to the "most magical place on earth" with my family which includes my 2 year old grandson who has a disability. We were harassed consistently about his mask from the very start. He was even denied a ride on Aladdin's carpet ride. We tried our absolute best but well... he's 2 with a disability! Also worth noting is every bus treated us differently with his stroller that was marked as a wheelchair equivalent. Some made him get out, some did not. It wasn't until the last night that a bus driver strapped in the stroller with my grandson in it like they all should have done. Disney isn't what it used to be.

I had a great time. The park was clean and I didn t see too many employees hassling folks about masks because they all wore them. Some of the lines for rides were long(the popular rides), but the others were not too bad. The food wasn t very tasty and you couldn t take pictures with any characters but that s okay. I can t wait to go back after the pandemic to get the full experience.

Honestly do NOT GO wasted my money... there s no fast pass and the lines are crazy long for everything and anything. You can t see any of the characters except in the parades they do every couple hours and that s it. The restaurant service with the app doesn t work well. Also you can t even take your mask off for photos even when over 6ft apart from any other people. If you want to go somewhere for family fun during covid go to Universal Studios instead everything was way better there. Would have rather spent another week there instead of going to Disney.

Very friendly staff, lots to see and do. It still seemed pretty crowded with COVID still going on. But the staff did a great job at keeping everything flowing and requiring people to wear masks. There were lots of hand sanitizer stations as well. We had an issue at one point and one of the managers, Jamie, helped us out and provided excellent customer service!!

The wait times during the pandemic are not too bad. You should skip the it s a small world ride unless you like to see a bunch of dolls dance for 8 minutes (it is the oldest and most boring ride in the park. They didn t have as many parades as I thought they did to see some of the characters you would expect to see. The best ride is space mountain and buzz light year training ride.

It truly is the happiest place on earth. From the time you actually enter the park, you are struck with the wonder of Disney. Just the sight of Cinderella's Castle made me tear up with joy. If you can get there, GO!

5 stars for the park as always because, well, it's Disney. They made a good effort to keep people far apart while waiting in lines (closed certain attractions and looped the lines for others through those areas). Food service generally was set up such that you ordered on the app and then just went in to pick up the food. Tables were spread apart and those that were close had half marked as closed. They said the park was 25% capacity but it definitely felt way more full than that. Rides still had hour-plus wait times but we generally found that the times were estimated on the long side (ex thunder mountain railroad said 45 min, actually took 20). The park also seemed to empty out much earlier (was nearly a ghost town by 7pm). Monorail has one family per side of each car so I think they made as reasonable of an attempt at physical distancing as possible.

Seriously disappointed with Disney and Epcot, I will not return. This is a waste of time and money. These parks are not interested in giving their guests a good experience but only collecting our money. The Disney employees walk around bothering you all day, walk here, stand stationary while you are eating, pull up your mask I pay $17 for some ice cream and they want to tell me how to eat it. Never again Disney, you should not even be open for business if this is how it is.

Most people already know this place is amazing. The Magic Kingdom park is the main park of the 4 here and its hard to describe how colorful and fun filled it is. For all ages but especially for children, the rides and animation shows are wonderful. You can easily spend 2 full days in this park alone. Well kept, clean and the staff is always ready to help make your visit a happy one.

Great experience. Mask rule and social distancing being heavily enforced. Don't let the limited capacity fool you, the park is still busy.

Lines doov quickly due to social distancing being in place in every queue line.

When ordering your food on the mobile app, be sure to check in about 5 minutes before you actually arrive at the restaurant. Checking in only sends your order to the kitchen.

Overall, it's exactly what you expect from Disney - excellent experience.

The Magic was not there. First, I recommend taking the Ferry over to the park. The only Magic Moment of the day was when we took the ferry over and the Castle came into view. The changes for the pandemic have really effected the park. You don't realize it till it is gone how important the Character interaction is. Seeing Mickey and Minnie waving at us as we are leavin for the day?!?!....too late.

The line spacing made finding the end of the lines difficult and a long walk away from the ride to find them, even with a cast member holding up a sign telling us that this was the end of the line. We spent more time looking for the end of the line than enjoying the park. Limited dining spaces made it impossible for us to get a reservation for Be Our Guest or any of the other dining experiences. (We tried months before our trip). The walk up option did not work on the day we were there. The other dining options were awful and limited to "snacks". We ended up eating a late dinner at our hotel because what dining places that were available closed before the park did (8pm or earlier). Lines are EVERYWHERE!!! ...to shop, to eat, to take pictures, to get on rides, and that is AFTER you go through the lines to get on the ferry, bus or monorail, lines for temperature, lines for security and the line to get into the park. On top of that, the park closes early. (9pm during Spring Break) We spent more time in lines than enjoying the park. My total steps were 18K for this day and most of it was walking from parking to the ferry and ALL of the lines. A huge disappointment after waiting so long to get to WDW. Maybe when life restarts post pandemic I'll make it back and the review improves. But, till then...2 Stars.

The magic of Disney is still alive and well even with the mask mandates and strict distancing guidelines. There is nothing quite like walking up Main St USA and looking up at that castle. But what makes Disney magic truly magical are it's incredibly well trained people. They need to bring their full cast back with fastpasses to go with the full sized crowds they're allowing in. The cast members are what MAKE the magic. The backdrop is beautiful but if I can't walk by Cinderellas castle and have somebody call my daughter a princess is it even worth it?!?? If we can all stand in line and breathe on each other for rides we can sit next to each other in a quick service restaurant too. It would make things less crowded if there were more places for people to spread out. Disney makes magic because they train magical people!! PS- those stepsisters are amazing (literally perfect) but if we can have them outside for commentary I want to see Cinderella too.

Disney, Disney, Disney....

Where can I start, AMAZING experience from beginning to end. Friendly staff, amazing atmosphere and of course beautiful park overall.

You must wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Stay hydrated and don't forget your MASK "reviewed during covid". The app is very helpful as it gives you insight info about lines and whatnot. This is a FAMILY PARK, if you are looking for thrill do not go here. Rides are cute and the shows are fun. Lines do tend to get a bit long but nothing a good talk can't fix.

Restaurant reservations are REQUIRED and the "Quick fix" are not that edibles .....

P.s
The carousel of progress is super BORING .. Do not mean to offend anyone but its the simple truth #SorryNotSorry

Best theme park in the world with multiple sections inside the park. A wide variety of rides, places to eat, and places to shop. Definitely recommended if you love theme parks, Mickey Mouse, or want to share family memories that will last forever.

I will start by saying I am biased. I have a lot of nostalgic feelings about the Magic Kingdom. But, one of my greatest Joy's in life is seeing my kids at this park. They always have a magical time. We go as often as we can. I have a stroller, so we always bring a couple of coolers. My family of 7 saves a lot by not dropping $5 per drink. Save a lot on snacks too. If you are going more than once or to many parks, invest in a popcorn bucket. First of all, they genuinely have the best popcorn, period end of discussion. Also, refills are only $2.00. Worth it. The restrooms are always clean. Each one has a cast member who cleans it throughout the day. This may sound odd, but go to the Rapunzel restroom, you won't regret it. It's beautiful in there. There are so many things to see, besides the many rides. There are details and hidden Mickeys everywhere. It's truly the most Magical place in Earth.

Magic Kingdom is such a great place. It really is the happiest place on earth! I went there for my birthday and had a pin that said it was my birthday. Every cast member that saw me would wish me happy birthday! I mean every cast member from the ones handling the attractions to the cast members picking up the trash at the restroom. It felt like such a warm feeling! The rides and shows are out of this world. Disney really knows how to make you feel happy and relaxed in their park!

I love magic kingdom but I am taking a star away because they don t sell beer. I would love to have a relaxing moment with a view of Cinderella s castle enjoying a beer. There is no reason to not sell beer and I am starting the petition for all the parents out there that need to relax to a cold one!

Will be back for sure!

It's the main park where you'll find the most magic! There are 6 themed lands all in this one park. Main Street is always decorated the most for holidays. If you've never been I do not recommend going now. Wait until all this COVID stuff is over. The lines are technically shorter than usual but the cast members are not as kind and bubbly. You have to wear your mask properly at all times unless STOPPED and ACTIVELY eating or drinking. Many things are closed. No meeting characters. No fun shows or parades. They do have mini parades with characters throughout the day but it's not the same. Everything is so limited. If you have a park hopper ticket or annual pass you cannot use the park hopper option. You have to reserve your one park for the day in advance since they're limited capacity. If you've forgotten a mask the ones that Disney has to purchase are actually very comfortable and affordable. $4/mask. What I hate most is that you cannot take your mask off for photos. Not at all. This year they canceled their Halloween and Christmas events which are my favorite. Disney has become very sad in 2020. I'd normally give it 5 stars. I'd give it 3.5 if I could for the time being.

Who doesn't love Magic Kingdom. Disney did an amazing job with Covid-19 social distancing and making sure everyone wore masks. The only time I was like eh about it was taking the ferry. The kids had an amazing time. Live the holiday season at Disney's Magic Kingdom. We were able to get on all the rides we wanted. Longest wait was around 30 minutes. Most lines were about 15 minutes.

Super crowded for a day supposedly with only a % of capacity being allowed into the park. Millions of kids, small kids in an unreal amount of strollers. It s Disney so kids are expected, but the amount of them given the amount of things closed seems out of balance. Other than that issue...magic!

As always impeccable and organized. With the coronavirus epidemic. Disney did everything right. They made us feel comfortable and safe. Social distancing was well plotted out. And seems that almost everyone had complied. Now is the time to go to be able to get on every ride without a line. The most we ever waited was 25 minutes. And that's with them loading at a social distance as well. While the majority of the rides were open, There were very little stores and shops open. I can't blame them. I enjoyed the ability to not be crowded. But without the Mass of excited people it lacked the "BUZZ" from all the giddy kids. Young & old.
The first time ever I would see the characters standing around and not have any kids looking at them taking pictures. But definitely a perfect time to come as an adult as we did.
