You're in the most magical place! This was our first time visiting with safe distancing and infection prevention protocols in place. We felt very comfortable and Cast Members are diligent about ensuring that regulations are followed. As always, we had a great day!

Took my grandfather for the first time ever. Everyone was very respectful, thanked him for his service, and made sure he could ride as much as possible even with his difficulty walking. Always a treat to visit the magic kingdom.

Loved visiting! Social distancing and masking were well enforced- although it was VERY hot and wearing a mask in the heat did seem to tire us out faster than normal. There were sanitizer stations everywhere, so I didn't have to use my own bottle. Many of the concession venues were closed, making the lines for the few that were open long. I would recommend reservations at one of the indoor restaurants to ensure you can eat - plus it was a nice break from the heat.

Not so magical anymore. A few observations: Tomorrowland is so worn out and sad, the bathrooms around the park were filthy, a lot of the hand sanitizer dispensers had brown goo on them, cast members weren't friendly and there were a lot of cast members wheeling garbage bins through the crowds. Too much more to mention.

Disney World isn't what it used to be, save thousands and go to Six Flags.

You are no longer allowed to bring wagons! This is not well stated. They won t tell you until the door. Have fun carrying your kids and all of your stuff around.

The magic bands are a joke. None of the employees knew if they were working or not at the entrance and made us wait in a long line for tickets only for that desk to tell us the bands were working.

The staff yells at you for being unable to understand their vague directions.

It's been a year since my last visit and I'm gonna be ready to come back soon! But only when it's safe. Although the empty parks are tempting. Remember back in the late 90's early 2000's when you could actually walk through the park, before every event and day was over sold. I miss those days from Both Disney World and Disneyland.

What can one say about Magic Kingdom that hasn t already been said. If you at all a fan of Disney than Magic Kingdom is a must see. The only thing I could possible add is that Disney had a way of making everyone adhered to COVID precautions without being overbearing which of course allowed everyone to have a good time without having to freak out. Kudos to Disney s staff but could we possibly expect anything else?

Always a treat going to Magic Kingdom. They didn't put up the bazillion lights this year but the Castle was still terrific! The place stays clean. All the team members are helpful and ready to help. Crowds were less than usual which made for a comfortable visit. The reservation system seems to work. The river where the Riverboat goes on is empty right now. Looked really neat seeing the "under the scene" area. Great visit!

It has often been said that the true essence of Disney magic can be experienced simply by stepping foot inside the Magic Kingdom.
The Magic Kingdom is divided into six distinct areas (lands), arranged in a spoke-like formation, all meeting at the top of Main Street, U.S.A. right in front of Cinderella Castle. The six lands consist of Main Street, U.S.A., Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, and Adventureland.
Most notably, the most recent "Happily Ever After" fireworks show. It is impressive!!!

Magic Kingdom is offering a lot less than normal because of the pandemic situation. I do not see the point why they still charge the same amount per ticket even if they do not offer what is suppouse to be included in the whole experience at the park, is just not fair! Going to magic Kingdom park during the pandemic is such a waste of money. Disappointed!

I ve been wanting to go here since I was a kid and I was finally able to go with my husband! It really is as magical as everyone says it is! We went during Covid but we both felt very safe with all the restrictions and guidelines they had in place. I was a little bummed not to see the fireworks and different characters around the park, but that s just another excuse to come back one day! The haunted mansion was definitely one of my favorite parts!

We went to Animal Kingdom on Thursday and they allowed you to purchase fast passes. However, we are at the Magic Kingdom today and they said "No fast passes because of COVID19!!!" That's insane that you would allow fast passes at the other Disney park but not this one!!! What an asinine decision!!!

The best place to share with the little ones in the house. Even though some attractions were not available due to the pandemic, it is a magical place to enjoy with the family. There are hand cleaning and sanitizer points at all sites.

Fantastic place that delivers exactly what you expect. Very high traffic and more youth oriented in comparison to the other parks, but we still had a blast. Seeing some iconic Disney movies come to life is awesome!

Words cannot describe the magic you feel at this park, regardless of age. Whether you are 4 and meeting Tigger for the first time, or 24 and having that long anticipated reunion, the cast members will always make sure you are having a great time (okay fine, I'm talking about my reunion with the best Tiger around).

If you are staying at a Disney Hotel, you can get extra magic hours, and possibly get to the park super early or stay super late. Also, if you stay at a Disney Hotel, you can book Fast Passes up to 60 days in advance (something I would HIGHLY recommend if you want to get on some of the iconic rides, and want to skip the 3 hour wait times).

Something I appreciate is how every restaurant has a kids option, so parents can take their kids anywhere and not have to worry about their kid finding something they like.

Magic Kingdom is and always has been my favorite park of the Disney World chain. It's full of lively characters and decorations. They imagineers have done a great job in making it immersive. The park is never dirty and there is always a helping cast member for questions. The prices are high, but worth every penny! I would recommend Magic Kingdom to my CLOSEST friends and family. Well done, Disney.

Great park all atrackstions thet were not a lot of lines, time were definitely off but most importantly restaurants and food was complicated to get food everywhere and everything was busy, there were not a lot of options to get food I recommended te make reservations with enough time ahead.

My Family & I came down to DISNEY WORLD for My Son's Wedding. We had NEVER been to either DISNEY or to the State of FLORIDA, We got to do both. It was an awesome trip altogether. We Visited HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS on a SUNDAY & to the MAGIC KINGDOM PARK the next day. Both PARKS were totally amazing. I used to watch "THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY" on Sunday nights on NBC & I imagined what it would've been like to visit DISNEYLAND. Well, At My Old age I got to realize a DREAM w/ My Family & We loved EVERY MOMENT We were there. Both Parks were FANTASTIC & the DISNEY STAFF was HELPFUL & GREAT to deal with.

Truly a magical place. I enjoyed every minute of it! It was humid at first then the clouds started to set in which made the heat a bit more bearable. We had a great time but the security check was a little invasive and the mall cops couldn t even tell me where the bathroom was.

Great time with family. They do their best to get the kids to see the characters. Crystal palace food wasn't that good and over priced. Better to snack through the park. Lines were not bad. There were alot of hand sanitizer stations which is great. They did a great job adapting to the covid circumstances. We can't to go when we don't have to wear a mask.

Not bad but definitely my least favorite of the parks. Lots of rides feel old or neglected. Tomorrowland Speedway was just broken all around and I'm very surprised they haven't made it electric over the smelly and loud gas engines. This park definitely needs a major update before I'd want to go back. We ate at Liberty Tree Tavern and the price was definitely more expensive than it needed to be for what you get. We weren't even seated in the main building but somewhere else entirely in some of the most uncomfortable chairs we've ever been in. Maybe better luck next time

It feels to me like magic Kingdom has lost some of its magic :( No meet and greet your favorite princesses and Disney character's anymore, no fire works anymore but yet even during covid 19 It felt like it was way to crowded. I have been to this park over 4 times and always loved it and felt inspired every single time but unfortunately doesn't feel like that anymore. They pretty much forced our Autistic sister to wear a mask when she would not understand that she had to keep the mask on we were told she had to put the mask or leave pretty much. I just wished in a couple years we could come back and feel like we are in a magic world like it should be.

Always my favorite park. The theming of the different parks inside of it are awesome. The rides are great. You feel like you experience it. It is the difference between a amusement park and Disney. You go to an amusment park, you experience Disney.

My first trip to Magic Kingdom in a while, and it's still, well, Magical . The ride waits weren't too long, the staff was EXTREMELY helpful, and we managed to get into a restaurant the same day, and enjoyed some delicious food and drinks as well. Plan to be there the whole day, and you'll love every minute of your time.

It's the magic kingdom people! But I dont recommend going if you can't wear a mask ALL the time even in 90 degree weather when you are hiking you and your kids across the park 20 times on your back because they are tired of walking!! I have a VERY soft voice and nobody can understand what I am saying with my mask on so when I pull it down to speak o was immediately YELLED at several times by employees to put my mask on. I get it, covid ... but wow, respect first please. It got annoying not being able to find places and not being understood in order to ask and then being YELLED at!! Still we had a great time at the "happiest place on earth"!! My child said it was the best day of his life and that all that matters to me!

Beautiful as always. COVID purs a damper on most things, but this is one of the few that manages to shine brightly regardless. Highly recommended for the younger kids or the big fans. The rides are mostly tame except for 1 or 2 and the overall park experience is fantastic. Beware the heat in warm months though.

What can I say, it's Disney! We had a phenomenal time with the park only allowing 35% capacity. That was one of the good things about going when there are Covid restrictions in place. It sucks that everyone has to wear a mask whether they are vaccinated or not, but the lines were 100% tolerable! We did not wait longer than 45 my nutes for any ride.

Magical moments prevailed and celebrated well during the pandemic without any compromise.
Many thanks to the staff for their hard work keeping the environment safe, clean and magical.
Wait times at certain rides (Jungle) were longer than stated, but the staff again helped in keeping our dinner reservation.

We celebrated our daughter Autumn s 7th birthday here today and the kids had an amazing time. Although during COVID ( which I love the less crowd) the experience was still great. The park is very COVID alert. They had temperature checks to get it a lot of the rides were cleaned in between the next riders and they were very big on masks. We rode the ferry over to the park which people didn t follow the rules as well on there but otherwise everything was great. The restaurants has mobile orders where you would order food and then they would tell you when to enter to get your food you weren t allowed in until your time for pickup, this definitely helped the distancing. There were a few parades I m pretty sure normally they have more but due to the circumstances we wrote satisfied and ride wait times weren t horrible. Overall I d say we had a great experience with everything going on.

I took my 4 yr old girl and I think she was a bit disappointed, I am not sure if she expected more , she was very excited before going because of the castle and Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The rollercoaster rides were decent.
On regards to the Park, there is still a large amount of people despite the Pandemic and the lines are very large, the proximity of other people gives me anxiety because a lot of them almost ignore the safe distance. But we all were wearing masks, including the kids. Anyway, not much to do after all until this weird stage goes away, right?

Definitely a great time today! The experience was a lot more relaxed than Universal Studios because the care taken to get people out of the sun and inside for most of the rides.
I really appreciate the rides being geared for smaller children unlike Universal Studios because my grandson actually got to have fun and ride things that made him happy and not be stuck in a stroller most of the day.
The food prices were not bad at all but was appalled that some of the more "cheaper" made merchandise from most of the shops was entirely way too expensive.
Lines moved faster and the rides were a lot more engaging and interactive than most of the stuff at Universal Studios, which I completely understand is mainly for teenagers and adults but families that come from out of state will bring babies and toddlers, so they need more things for them.
We had a great time and looking forward to coming back next year as well.

The Magic Kingdom decorated for Christmas is absolutely breathtaking especially at night! It was so worth the extra event ticket! The extraordinary way they have the castle lit up is dazzling to say the least. The cookies, hot chocolate and apple cider were so delicious! It s a real treat to see Main Street with Christmas lights and they had snow blowing,which put us all in the Spirit of the season. Absolutely love Disney in general but this was the first time to see decorations and it was so very special.

It was nice during covid. Everyone actually wore masks and wore them properly, I was surprised. I just wish they wiped off the rides between people especially ones where people had to touch the handles or steering wheel. I understand this could be timely but lives are worth the time

Their ability to crowd control is not good at all. Their staff is not trained on this and it shows. Their safety protocols for COVID are contradicting and are only in place to help with liability purposes. Their staff is not properly trained and have the lack of knowledge to plan accordingly. It was not a magical experience as we have had in the past.

Staying at the Contemporary Resort gives you the opportunity to eat at the California Grill overlooking Magic Kingdom. You pick up the Monorail to ride to Magic Kingdom and slip out past the crowds at the end of the evening and walk from Magic Kingdom back to your hotel, the Contemporary Resort.

The park was clean, staff a bit over aggressive about if your facemask wasn't on correctly. It was raining and I wear glasses, they kept fogging up so I had no choice but to lower my mask from time to time to clear my vision. I understand the situation but we were outside and well over the six foot rule. All the rides were fun, the Mickey 3D movie is outdated and needs to be replaced. And why did they replace the song in "carousel of progress?"
The original song is what made that ride enjoyable everyone used to sing along now it's not as fun.

Transforms you back into a child when you enter. The rides and attractions are more than enough for me and my kids, boys 9 & 10. Even on busy days like today, fast pass + allows you to at least get on a few of the very popular rides, see some other stuff then head back to the pool.

Highly recommend this park. It s beyond magical. Queues here are very long but the rides are worth the wait. Especially if you re lucky enough to get a fast pass for some of them. There s always something happening on the Main Street. Suitable for all ages. This park definitely unleashes your inner child. The Snow White ride was my favourite. The park closed early on the day we visited so unfortunately we didn t get to see the fireworks show. Gives me an excuse to go back.

Awesome park which offers a lot diversity when it comes to rides and food. Plan your fast pass tickets well in advance and remember that you after one is used you can book another! Our visit was on a busy warm day, luckily you can escape into the AC everywhere and lots of water fountains spread around the park. We only did one day nonstop 9am to 10pm, would not recommend it however. Do this park over two days to maximize your fun and to fully experience the park and all that it has to give.

If you like wasting money, time, energy, and hear employees rudely condescend customers for not covering their noses..... This is the place to go! 9 hours of walking and waiting just to have less than an hour of collective fun is the biggest scam in history.

I've lived in FL all my life. I wish I had kept a journal of all the times I've been here (would venture to say it's been 50-75 times). It's best to go December to March, which is cooler. Get seats reserved for your most favorite rides (Disney app), otherwise you're waiting in long lines. Ride the Peoplemover when you want to relax. Get the popcorn!

The Most Magical Place on Earth is a well earned and deserved title for this place!

The Magic Kingdom is one of my favorite Disney World parks till this day, featuring so many quality rides, events, beautiful structures and much more.

It's incredibly beautiful with so much to do and see throughout the day.

They put in so much effort in this park and it shows with the rides and structures being so incredibly detailed, everything is incredibly well made and outright beautiful.

With many fun things to do, beautiful and interesting things to see and absolutely stunning lights and fireworks show at the end of the night, Disney's Magic Kingdom easily places itself as one of the most gorgeous and fun parks I've ever been to in my life.

If you ever have the opportunity to come to this park, make sure you take it, it'll be an experience of a lifetime that you will not regret.

Magic kingdom is great and all but honestly it's the most crowded with very little shade. There are not very many misters around the park so you are pretty much in hell the whole day. My suggestion is DO NOT GO in the summer if you wanna have a good time. Either that or go towards the evening. That being said we did enjoy the rides and everyone is very nice. They just need to work on shading the park more and put out more misters.

I guess I can't give a fair review because I didn't visit everything in there. But I wouldn't recommend going there during this covid season because you have to have your mask on and you won't be able to take photos without it. It's just not a place you want to go if you're over the age of 14 because a lot of the rides are catered to kids but it's a lovely atmosphere. The workers have decent attitudes though. My personal favorite ride that I would recommend for the older thrillseekers is the buzz lightyear ride

This is our third trip to Disney in the last decade, and definitely not the service I expected from the disney empire.
We loaded up 4 generations of family to take our special needs niece to DisneyWorld. She was was originally approve for a make a wish visit to disney, but due to their travel restrictions we chose to take her ourselves her condition being what it is.
We were left standing in a thunderstorm for an hour while management decided on what action to take to get the stranded guests into the park.
Many of the large rides were closed and remained closed during our stay in the park even after the rain stopped.
My 10 year old daughter slipped and fell in one of the restaurants on site due to water left standing on the floor inside the restaurant.
The staff on sight were rude and almost confrontational about everything.
And to top it off, the $70 photo pass we bought was edited by the park staff and pictures deleted because my son did not have a mask on while pictures were being taken. This is a contradiction in Disneys own policy of not requiring a mask during photos.
Our next family vacation, I will load up all 14 of the people that we paid exorbitant prices ( around $140 each) to get into the park, and we'll go to Six Flags over anywhere instead. They provide a better service for the price.

People that say it isn't magical due to covid are highly mistaken. For my first trip to Disney, I was amazed and filled with happy tears almost the entire time. I also have social anxiety so the limited capacity was perfect for me. The Disney app helped me maneuver through the park with ease and made dining reservation check-in a breeze! It was such a great time & the food was amazing. I now want to move and work there!

Visited on Christmas day this year and the crowd on main Street was a bit much but once you were out in the park at large it was quite nice. They had parades almost every 20 minutes which was a lot of fun. With lower than average attendance we got to go on all of the coasters and lots of other rides for the littles. Occasionally had to wait a bit in lines while the staff cleaned the rides but we appreciate the extra precautions. Hand sanitizer stations are everywhere and the staff is pretty quick to ask any not obeying the mask rules to tighten up! The castle was lit beautifully in the evening and they had a special light show and some fireworks. Overall we had an awesome day.

Extreme Mask mandate but unsanitary rides will ruin your Disney experience with the parks confused guidelines. But overall, still nice to be able to visit, just bring your own wipes since park does not provide them for their users... possibly because they're too busy mandating masks.... lol. No "gator" mask unless you are an enforcement officer.

Awesome for young and old alike. A lot of ground to cover. Electric carts are available if needed. Allow yourself plenty of time. Stay til after dark, the lights are beautiful. Don't get sticker shock over the cost of admission. I can honestly say it was well worth the trip. Also, we had 14 in our party, including two seniors on carts, and every place we went the associates were very gracious about trying to keep us all together and usually loaded us on things first. We really appreciated that.

Who doesn't love Magic Kingdom... This was Aug 2. 2020 New colors on the castle...
Make sure you wear a mask... If you have health issues call ahead and inform yourself or expect to not get in. I'm serious! Temp checks yes. Almost everywhere and thru the park. Mobile orders are a definitely encouraged when your there (at every park) to avoid the no cash accepted at the moment comment. I loves getting on 17 rides (MK) with zero to 25 min wait literally at every park. Yes the rides get cleaned. Yes there are a million hand sanitizing stations everywhere thru all the parks and resort. Yes they will check your temp!! Yes again you need a mask. Stay extra hydrated on hotter days too.
