We had allot of fun at Disney World. There was allot of fun things to do. Though they could definitely do way better in the Baby Care Center. They claim they are breastfeeding friendly and support breast feeding. But the Baby center has only a 3 wooden chairs(made it practically impossible to feed my daughter), a high chair and a creepy old man watching. I personally feel if women are going to the Baby Center to feed their child in privacy they wouldn't want an old man watching them. It definitely would have been more comfortable for me if it were a woman.

The attractions at the park are wonderful but I just hate standing in line. Could not give it a five due to the long wait. It's a shame that the wait times are usually about five to ten times as long as the attraction itself.

Beautiful place, at day or night, for kids or adults. From heros and villains you grow to love during your childhood.

Park is too big to visit for one day. Specially if you want to pay a visit to each attraction. Wait lines can get horrendous, ranging from short 5 minutes, to more than an hour and a half. The rides are wonderful, but not worth that much wait. People with fast passes should really just use those and leave.

WiFi is rarely working, something that shouldn't be a problem but it is. Makes it hard to use their app to look up the map, wait times, etc.

Look up the schedule and plan in advance. It will make the day much better.

We have been extremely conservative (until taking a vacation) with Covid and we felt extremely comfortable at the magic kingdom. The staff is on it. The lines are well thought out, they re super aggressive about mask enforcement, and it still feels magic!

Visited during the week on September 9
Was a fair amount of crowds there but the quee moved super fast.

Extremely hot outside Bought in Lunch with many drinks water Gatorade and fruit juices to avoid wasting time waiting for lunch.

Was able to ride 20 rides since many shutdown due to a hour and half rain..some rides we even rode 2 or 3 times..
Ended day at Splash Mountain small line no wait at major attractions in this area at end of day.

Social distancing was strictly enforced..we were satisfied with safety protocols.

Actually during this Pandemic the best time to visit..grab a map and pretty much get on all rides of your choice easily..

Character sightings around main Street
If you are lucky enough to be there during conclave.

Hours shortened but had a full well planned day..

Tip: the premium parking is WORTH it after a day in the park..

Will return soon to the other parks

Not as good as Disney used to be but still fun. It seems like there trying to upgrade things but it's taking away so much of the charm. Haunted Mansion just seemed high tech and less genuinely spooky.
A lot of the rides seemed exceptionally dark as far as lighting and someone else we talked to in the park noticed as well. New rides like The Little Mermaid was the biggest waste of time. No wonder there was no line! If they were going to do something about the ocean why not go back to the old school 20,000 leagues Under the Sea ride where you actually "get into" a little sub and look out windows and see Ariel's story?
A lot of shops and restaurants are currently closed. It was good but just not the Disney of even 10 years ago when everything was that perfect Disney Magic :(

Disney... Oh how we love you! Sad that so many entertaining individuals we're laid off... The park is definitely not the same without you! Limited seating in rides, limited guests in each store and limited menu items to choose from. With that in mind, you can still make the most of it as the rides are still active.

During covid, this was not an ideal place to be. The wait time for rides was over 2 hours on most rides, and no fast passes were available. The workers were constantly onto the kids to keep their masks on "the right way" and you could not eat or drink while walking.

Where dreams come true for my crazy Disney wife. This place is something special, magical an amazing theme park my hats off to Disney. This place has something for everyone wether you're in the mood for character meetings, thrilling rides, awesome shows it has something for all. The fire works at the end of the day is truly something special and magical and brings back some much memories from my childhood. I was this close to almost shedding a tear of joy. Highly recommend checking them out you will have a blast no matter what!!!!

Plan ahead. Paid the extra $20 for preferred parking on both days of our visit. This allows the shortest walking distance to the front. Worth it. Disney is cooler/outside food & drink friendly (see guidelines). Take advantage of this tip as lines to restaurants are long or require reservations. Magic Kingdom has relaxation stations set up around the park, some indoor with a/c. We checked them out to cool down the kiddos and to eat lunch. The my disney app helped plan what rides had the shortest wait times. Restrooms were stocked and clean. Masks enforced so keep them up, even when taking pictures, for everyone's safety. Characters are making limited appearance at this time so ask cast members for more info. Mickey and Minnie came down Main Street at 11am on a float. They were back again at 6:50pm and 7:50pm at the main gate on the balcony.
Super fun experience and the kiddos loved it. This truly is the happiest place on earth.

No fireworks at this time.

They are very focused on masks but don't enforce social distancing as much. Sanitizing stations are everywhere but most were empty. Disney doesn't feel the same with all these policies in place. But was still a fun time.

Exceeded my expectations. Always wanted to visit and heard mixed reviews. Definitely the best theme park for a family, specially with young children as there are so many rides available. I was amazed at how fast it was to get in and out of the park. Also the lines for rides were long, but the way it's setup they do not feel as long, also the app is great!!!

Magic Kingdom = very entertaining! Me and my girlfriend went and had the time of our lives. I enjoyed the ferry that took us to the park. All the gift shops had loads of collectables. I finally have a Mickey Mouse Ear ! My favorite rides were Space Mountain, Splash Montain, and Peter Pans Flight ! The food was pretty good too, I enjoyed a huge leg and Mickey Mouse pretzel. Unfortunately I missed the parade but I was able to catch Chip & Dale at the entrance. Overall a very exciting experience. Would love to take the entire family. Tip: pay for the Preferred parking!

Zero stars. Do not recommend. Would rather be waterboarded than come back here. COVID protocols are miserable with lines and heat. Even without, you're spending thousands to stand in lines and walk for hours on end to spend minutes on the rides. Also many rides are identical with slightly different themes and marginally better than travelling fair type of rides.

Had lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern Restaurant in the Magic Kingdom. This is a family style and all you can eat, so just ask for more of what you like. This is a awesome place to eat, the staff is dress in 1800 clothes and it is so quaint.

You start with a salad with a raspberry vinaigrette, now depending on your party size it will either come as individual salad or a larger family style. You will also get some fresh rolls with butter.

Next will come the main dish which is Turkey, pork loin sliced and pot roast with cornbread stuffing in the middle of all the meat. The pot roast is very good, very flavorful. My favorite was the slice turkey with gravy and cranberry sauce.

Sides where Mac and cheese, sting bean with mince garlic and onion and the last side was mashed potatoes which are my favorite, I could eat like 5 lbs of these mashed potatoes. The sting beans are good, they are not mushy. Mac and cheese is good.

They also offer a vegan dinner which is impossible meatloaf with sting beans and mashed potatoes. Since it a all you can eat I decide to try the impossible meatloaf which was okay, to me it had a strange texture and was very spicy, the mushrooms gravy was okay

The deserts was awesome, I could only have a taste so I got the no sugar added gelato which was raspberry flavored and accompanied by fresh fruit.

Beautiful park.
Beautiful park with great cast members. I visited during New Year s Eve and it was berry crowded, but thanks to fast pass+ we were able to do everything we wanted to. On normal park day I can recommend the happily ever after dessert party, the desserts are great and the spot for the fireworks is also great!

It was great but disappointed as many times I have been here as a child. going to grad night in 1984 and 1985 , driving up the Florida turnpike as a teenager and an adult with my own family. The magic this time was there due to covid-19 .

So, my family and I went to Disney World during a pandemic and...it was probably the best time we ll ever have at Disney. The cast members did an amazing job keeping the parks clean, telling visitors to put their masks on and overall we felt really, really safe. The magic is still there, my five year old daughter loved the character cavalcades, my 1 year old son was playing peek a boo with one of the princesses and I got to ride a lot of rides that had ZERO wait time like Peter Pan, It s A Small World and Space Mountain. It was also super easy to social distance because the parks were so empty. Overall it was an amazing time, if you are hesitant in going I would recommend it, it s a once in a lifetime experience and honestly very doable in a mask in the heat, you forget you re wearing half of the time. Enjoy some pictures and check back for my Animal Kingdom review soon.

Heard lots of people complaining and saw some posts about people complaining.. WELL we had a wonderful time. My only complaint is having to wear a mask.. but it is what it is.. we didn't have any crazy waits whether it was for rides or food. We had a wonderful day...

I'm a very happy Nana and really enjoyed being with my grands at MK. All had so much fun. Crowds were much less so we enjoyed all the rides. Really missed the light displays but all were so tired we probably wouldn't have been awake for much
We all had to wear masks. Keeping masks on a two year old was the only difficulty.

Not miss to join the roller-coaster Space Mountain and Splash Mountain when you are here. Stay late till the caste lighted up !

Very appreciated to all activities of Theme s park management to keep the park safe and hygienic - wash hand before and after any game, masks required all time, sanitizers everywhere...

My experience at Magic Kingdom was not the greatest. I spent the majority of my time in line for hours in the hot sun with a 4 year old who is already impatient. The food and everything else is super expensive. The season did not help. All and all, it is a beautiful place to visit and I may do it again except this time I will go during off seasons.

Would be 100 times better if it served beer regularly like the other parks. Seriously, one of the biggest parks, with some of the longest waits, with the most bored/overly excited kids, 10/10 parents would agree, hook it up please!

Magic Kingdom lived up to its name. From the moment we stepped into the park, every store, every staff member, and every detail was just perfect. Utilizing the app makes for a very interactive and smooth experience. I used it for fastpass, locating places to go, ordering food, and more. This is the first of the four parks we are going to visit. If they are close to this, then our vacation will be a great memory for our lifetime.

The Magic Kingdom is a great place to get the classic Disney experience. That's not to say that the other parks in the area don't have disney characters and frills, but this one certainly has the most. None of the rides here are really thrill rides, but they are certainly an experience that you should try if you are there. It is very similar to the park in California.

Magic Kingdom is the classic Disney park with all the famous attractions that everybody loves.

We have been to this park many times, and will return many times again.

It seems to get more expensive every time we come, but Disney really do give value for money when it comes to attractions.

The Castle Show at the end of the day is simply amazing!

We went to all the Disney parks and Universal. This seemed to us like the one with the most to do with our toddler. It was significantly more crowded than the other parks but worth it and lines were not as long as other parks in my opinon with an average wait time of 40 mins per ride compared to 60+ minimum at other parks. I would recommend 2 days for this park as we rushed and tried to do it all but could not. Longest line was the 7 dwarfs ride at 75 mins mostly all day. We did not go on it unfortunately. Although we did arrive at 11am, not 8am when they open. I did hear you can arrive up to an hour early and they'll let you in but not 100% on that. Some things were closed but not necessarily any rides, just some shows and attractions, although we did see a parade at one point.

Out of all the Disney Parks we really love Magic Kingdom especially if your kids are between 5 to12. Most of the rides in the park are forthe kids of this age. The good part is that park is open between 9am till 9 pm, so with younger kids you can come early and return to your hotel by 2 or 3 pm, take 2 hrs of rest and then enjoy the rest of the night. Night tour is a must as lightning gives a different dimension to the park.

We were told online that our tickets had the reservation as well. Turned out to be false. They did correct it. Why have one day tickets AND reservations? Seems redundant. Then with limited amount of people, my father paid high prices, and we were told NO FAST PASSES, but yet we still saw people passing the line. NOT COOL! Then we had the app, which told us how long the lines were, which was correct, however EVERY TIME we got off a ride, the wait would be half of what we waited!! Then, we were crowded because NOBODY else followed the spacing in line. If there was limited amount of tickets each day, why were there so many people?? I went to enjoy, and was stressed the WHOLE day!

What can I say.... Magic Kingdom is Truly MAGICAL!! We absolutely LOVE coming here. It is our favorite park, miss the character meet and greets due to covid, but have always had a Wonderful experience here! Most of the staff are the friendliest you will ever encounter. Covid I feel has made many very callous due to so many regulations, and most of the exchange students from other countries had to go back to their original country, and that took much of the kindness away. Leaving only a remnant of what Disney used to be and stand for. But still, it hasn't disappointed being Amazing! All about perspective. Live happy....BE

Due to Covid many activities and places are closed, there is no parade either. We went on Monday hoping to avoid weekend crowds and it was still extremely overcrowded. What's the point of taking reservations if limited capacity is non-existent. An hour wait for a ride or 30 min for popcorn. Can't even take a picture without a mask. Very unpleasant experience, my kids wanted out way too early. It appears as though the goal is to let in as many people as possible, maintain admission fee and cut costs. If they truly cared they would limit capacity.

What can I say that everyone doesn't already know about this magical place? We arrived from Hollywood Studios at 7:00 to watch the firework show at 8:00. The show is fantastic. With the lighting on the castle to the fireworks overhead. We have annual passes and will be returning as often as possible to enjoy everything Disney has to offer.

It is, by far, one of my favorite places on Earth. You can really feel the magic. Unfortunately, as it is so amazing, it can get VERY crowded. Try to avoid holidays and weekends, but always expect big crowds and lines, and don't let that stress you out. Make sure to get there as soon as possible and try to stay for as long as you can, to enjoy the most out of your day.

It is definitely a great time to visit as it s not too busy and they have finally started to have mini parades going, but not at a scheduled time. It s kind of inconvenient Having to take either a ferry or monorail in order to get to the park but there s not much you can do about it. The restaurants are great, except they are kind of being tyrants about the mask wearing, even throwing a fit if 1 year olds aren t wearing them, but I suppose there s not a whole lot you can do about that. Their Christmas decorations are quite magical right now.

Disney is doing a great job with strict covid 19 regulations. Mask must be wear at all times and people social distance is really unforced. However, there are not pictures nor dinner with Disney characters. Neither they had live shows, parades nor fireworks. So it felt like a limited visit to the park. Nevertheless we so excited to be able to visit once again. We are so glad that they are back open. We truly enjoyed our visit

During the pandemic Disney has done a wonderful job at protecting guests while also ensuring the Disney magic is not lost.

Cast members were polite, funny, and ensured the safety of all guests with reminders as needed.

Announcements over the park system were subtle and the information was not lost. Social spacing and queue lines were well thought out and easy to maintain and find.

During spring break ride times appeared increased which is normal for any park.

There is a lot to do and see besides the rides so give yourself plenty of time to enjoy Magic Kindom. You will not regret it.

I had not visited in years and a lot had changed. I will say getting through the gates is HELL! I was not prepared for the detailed search you must go through. You might question my five star rating with a negative statement up front? Well the MAGIC is still there! It was my 6 year old niece's first visit to Disney and her eyes stayed lit up the entire day! Luckily for those of us who remember the 1970's and tickets to get on rides, things like The Country Bear Jamboree remain unmolested! I wish I could say that for the General Electric Carousel of Progress and Tomorrow Land. My niece insisted on seeing The Country Bear Jamboree twice! Proof a classic never loses its luster! Being firmly in my middle aged years surprisingly really enjoyed myself too the entire day once inside the gate! Oh, if you smoke bring nicotine gum as there are only two areas where smoking is allowed in the entire park... This is the 21st century!

It was the best Disney trip. Little to no wait times on the rides. We could have done more if it wasn't for the rain. I love that they have cast members walking around monitoring that people are wearing masks properly and following rules. I love the spontaneous character cavalcades. I know its not the same as before the pandemic but it's still magical.

We went to Magic Kingdom is mid September and it was super hot , it didn t rain. Have to wear a face mask everywhere you go , except for when you eat. Lines where very long , couple rides had short wait times! Parking cost 20 dollars or you can get preferred parking for 30 and park closer to the entrance. Have to take a boat or the monorail over to magic kingdom which was super quick ! Overall it was nice! Might come back in the winter !

We absolutely love Magic Kingdom! We have been hundreds of times, never once have we had a bad experience with staff members. Everyone is always helpful, knowledgeable, and doing everything they can to make a magical experience for guests. Even through COVID they are doing their best to keep up with policies, keep attractions open, and keep everyone smiling. To say it s my favorite place on earth is not giving it enough credit for the happiness and amazing memories I have gotten to make with our family and friends.

The park was only supposed to be at 35 percent. It seemed much more than that. The ride lines were at 6 feet apart, but on some of the rides the lines ran right next to each other with no distancing. The stores were a little too crowded also. I know that you are trying your best but maybe you need to cut back on numbers a little. Maybe 30 percent.
We had a good time, but felt somewhat uncomfortable other times. We will still go to Disney, but will want a little longer to I so.

Hubby thought to bring me and my oldest to celebrate our birthdays at the Happiest Place on Earth, and we were excited to come; however, Covid has changed the experience, with a good amt of restaurants being closed, having to use the Disney app to order food, which took long and was overpriced. The lines were long with some of the Popular rides being 80 minutes of wait time. No firework or castle light show at the end of the night, both my son and I wore our birthday pins, but only had a few employees note it as we passed. It was not the Disney I remember and enjoyed for so many years. Spending my birthday at the park was one on my bucket list, but sadly it was nothing close to what I had imagined. Sadly, will not be co.ing back until the parks can restore some form of normalcy.

That SPACE MOUNTAIN IS AWESOME!
Social distancing is REAL in Disney Oct 2020! There's no one else on the monorail with us and the rides are going out more than 1/2 empty.
Not a much fun as Hollywood Studios but certainly a must for the lil ones.
