Magic Kingdom Park in Buenaventura Lakes

Ive always had a love for Disney and no matter what it costs, Ill still go here. We went for the Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party and Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party this year and loved both, although if I had to choose I would do the Xmas party every year. Its my ultimate favorite holiday. Both parties had great shows, treats, free snacks and lots of incredible decorations. I do wish the train was running as thats my favorite, but its still not up yet. Obviously crowds are crazy and wait times can be as well, but its whats expected at a theme park thats so popular. Even so, we were able to find our way to what we wanted without a headache. I cant wait for our next trip!

Magic Kingdom is the most Magical Place on the Planet 🌍 We have visited this place 4 times now over the years and each time never fails to disappoint. We attended this year thankfully to join in with the 50th Anniversary Celebration and the Castle looks unbelievable. The firework show is truly breathtaking. If you are thinking about booking this holiday then you absolutely should it’s the best memory maker there is. Fireworks 🎇 at the end of the night were magical 🧙‍♀️ and phenomenal.

No trip to Disney is complete if you haven’t visited the Magic Kingdom. That’s where the iconic castle is. It’s what people think of first when they hear the word Disney and it was our first stop on our trip. It was nice to see that they’d already started decorating the park for Christmas. We rode on a few rides. We did not use Genie + or Lightning Lane passes to get on rides. We just went to the rides that didn’t have crazy long lines.In the evening we attended the fireworks show at the castle. That show is amazing though you do get packed in the area like sardines. But the show is so worth it!

100% magical and a dream come true. ✨️We especially enjoyed the late night hours for deluxe guests. The attractions had 5 minute wait times or were walk ons. Our highlight was Happily Ever After. The staff was amazing and always trying to help. Magic kingdom is definitely the best Park of the 4. In the afternoons its packed, so come in the mornings or late at night.

My very first visit and it was an AWESOME experience. The lines for the thrill rides are super long, on average, 45 minutes to 1 hour per ride. We spent 8 hours and only road 4 rides and enjoy lunch! I recommend considering purchasing the lightening line access but there is a cost for each individual ride and the ride times must be pre-booked beginning at 7am the day of your visit. They do sell out!

The family had a great time! Our 2.5 year old son was able to enjoy the majority of the park and rides. Food wasnt nearly as expensive as I thought it would be (Ive seen less for more at movie theatersand it was very delicious. We stayed for the firework show and although the amount of people was intense, the logistics of moving everyone around was clearly mastered. It took roughly the same amount of time to get back to the car as it did to come into the park initially. Highly recommend the experience. Will look at staying at a resort next time as the rewards are worth it for a multi day stay.

Always a wonderful place to visit for kids of all ages.You probably could do the park in a day or two with appropriate lightning lane passes (paid extra), but better to take your time and enjoy the atmosphere of the beautiful themed lands spread throughout the park.Rides are great although queue times vary depending on the time of day.Cast Members are always a delight to interact with, and are very helpful.There are loads of restaurants dotted about the park, from more expensive sit down table service to more affordable on-the-go types. The food weve had has been great.Dont forget to get a place to watch the parades or evening fireworks spectacular.

Ive been here before but I am more familiar with Disneyland. It is a great park and the is enough difference to say this is a unique park from the OG. It has a nice familiar layout to make navigation easy. Even the rises that are the same in name to Disneyland have some difference to make it fun to ride and compare. Just be prepared for the Florida rain, it will rain an potentially rain hard. Great park and always an enjoy to visit!

Visited during the week and weekend.Clean facilities and lots of places to eat and drink. Lots of fountains available throughout the park for water.Rides are amazing, favourites were Its a small world, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh and meeting the characters.Disney app is good for maps, directions and lightning lanes.Loved Magic Kingdom, such an amazing park.

Visited as 3 adults for the opening Mickeys not no scary Halloween party. Having travelled from the UK and not doing the Disney parks this year it wasnt to be missed for a first time experience. Last visit was 7 years ago and it didnt disappoint.Arrived at 4pm, you dont have to make a reservation for special events and rode Haunted mansion, Splash mountain, Big thunder mountain and pirates of the Caribbean with little to no queue. The event start at 7pm and managed to ride space mountain in the dark and the tea cups with a spooky theme.The check up points for candy were everywhere and you collected tokens to exchange for allergies.Enjoyed the magic of walking down Main Street and soaking the atmosphere all in. Whilst most of the shops were shut to prepare for the event still managed to get some goodies.As for a day in the its perfect for little ones, adults or those with any additional needs. Plenty to do for all.The event queue for merchandise was hectic so I recommend waiting until later on in the evening if you wish to purchase anything.Dont forget to collect your free print on the way out and if it rains the parade or show may be delayed (which is what we experiencedbut wait for it! Its worth it 😊 characters are about in costumes but be prepared to wait for over an hour for some. Elvis stitch, Winnie the Pooh and friends were especially popular. Jack and Sally are in the main theatre and they tend to be the busiest due to the event.

The best vacation ever ! Just magical and a dream come true ! ✨️🪄You must go at least once in your life and really enjoy this once in a lifetime experience !It is exactly as advertised : Magic and leave you with memories to cherish forever !The experience is simply wonderful for child of every age and adults.If you have to choose only one Disney Park, I would recommend this one without hesitation.Even the waiting lines are build to give you a complete Disney experience.The app is a great addition and I would recommend downloading it for a better experience (also for self checkout and food pick-up orders).

Get ready to become a kid again! My 1st time to ever visit Disney and it truly is a magical place. Make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. We walked 30k steps a day, I kid you not. But there is so much to do you dont even realize it. The fireworks show every night at 920 is Absolutely Beautiful, Im still singing to the music.Disney world allowed my 71 year old mother be a kid again. My 9 year old Loves it and I am now and forever a Disney World fanatic.Just makes sure to purchase the ponchos for the evening Floridian rain. Get yourself the Disney Genie and pay the extra for Lightning Lane its so Worth it.We didnt wait to enter, since we stood at the Contemporary (Disney Resortwe had early access.

Magic Kingdom is truly magical. I went and truly felt as if I was at the happiest and most magical place in the universe. Its hard to describe how incredible the experience is. Its something you have to do yourself!With that said, do a little research beforehand on how to make the most of your trip. Use the order ahead feature on the app if you dont have a dinner reservation, check out the shops, and most importantly just remember to take your time and enjoy the experience and magic.

Simply W O WI was here with my wife and our little daughter, having been here once before as a couple a few years ago.An absolute experience for which a single day is hardly enough. There is so much to see here. Starting with rides to different parades, countless restaurants, shows, etc.Simply breathtaking.However, the truth is that the park is not only incredibly large but also incredibly expensive! The Preferred Parking alone costs $50. So we have spent for the one day including tickets & food a total of more than $ 500 - our little daughter had to pay no entrance fee.However, the glow in the childrens eyes was absolutely worth it!To see as much as possible, I can only recommend to activate the Genie+ service in advance. It makes planning your day a lot easier.The absolute highlight of the day was definitely the Meet&Greet with Mickey&Mini.

We had an awesome time. I would recommend that you plan for at least two days for this park. We just couldnt get to everything in one day. We tried but there was so much to ride and see. This was our first trip here and it was a blast. We planned pretty good based on other reviews like, small backpack cooler with water, cooling towels, and use lighting rounds for rides when possible.

We had a great time here with the kids. This was our first visit to a Disney park since we were kids ourselves so there was a lot that we didn’t know.First off, the parades and shows throughout the day are incredibly well orchestrated and the kids loved it. There’s always something to see which is nice.We didn’t go for the photo pass which turned out to be a good choice because all the photos they took of us sucked. We did however buy the genie+ pass that allowed us to book rides ahead of time. If you’re going for only a single day definitely get this to optimize your time.The rides are a little more dated feeling than at Animal Kingdom but the kids didn’t notice.This is the most important thing to know heading in…EVERYTHING COSTS A FORTUNE.Here’s what you should consider bringing with you or buying elsewhere and the Disney prices for each.Portable fans ($30ea)Poncho ($10ea)Water ($3.50ea)Minnie ears ($30ea)Lunch ($15-30ea)Lots and lots of snacks.Have fun :)

Very amazing and cool and ofc MAGICAL.It my opinion it was very worth it to get the lighting pass thanks to it we were able to get on more rides that you would normally would.I recommend coming with your own THERMAL water bottle it really helps on hot days you can get free ice from one of the vendors just ask for it. I also recommend getting the Disney APP to get around and reserve rides with the lighting pass very crucial!! I also recommend having a backpack to carry your stuff. Very definitely recommend splash mountain!!! And definitely do your research be4 the trip and have everything figured out so everything goes smoothly and fun!!

We just had our first Magic Kingdom visit in six years. Happy to report it was great! Theres really nothing like strolling the gorgeous grounds and taking in classics like Pirates of the Caribbean. Sure, you need to get there early, or deal with the new Lightning Lane system to get on all the rides. But, with a little luck, it is doable. We spent two days here on our trip. MKs cast members were all great. The consistently excellent Disney park experience is impressive.

Had a GREAT time! Very crowded, of course during the summer it is expected to be very busy. Went on Space Mountain, 1 hr wait time, but so worth the wait! My favorite ride EVER! Rode it at age 7, age 29, age 39 and age 51. Went on Big Thunder for the 1st time, Also 1 hr wait time, it was fun. Enjoyed the food at Cosmic Rays Starlight Cafe, had hotdogs and fries, very good! Watched the Magic Kingdom end of day performance with of course the best fireworks ever! My 16 yr old daughter and I LOVED IT!

The fireworks show is not to be missed. I would plan 2 days for this park. Its big with lots to do. We enjoyed The Jungle Cruise and the Pirates of the Caribbean rides. Had a Dole whip here too. The afternoon parade is really great too!

Very seamless ticketing process if you have everything ready when you get to the window provided you purchased your tickets online. We were given 1st visit buttons at the register as well. The physical tickets make great keepsakes! Super friendly staff and surprisingly clean despite the amount of visitors there every single day! Definitely a place you would have to spend more than one day if you wanted to see or ride everything in Magic Kingdom or any of the other parks as well. The lines may be long but they move very quickly!

Simply MAGICAL!!! I love the fact that you have to have reservations in order to enter the park and therefore it keeps the crowd just a little less hectic. The parking lot wasn’t crazy busy either but it does take quite a bit of time to get to the park entrance after you park. There is a lot of walking and you also have to take a monorail from the parking lot to take you to the main entrance. Be sure to allow for an additional 30-45 minutes extra just for the parking/entrance to the park. The customer service from the employees was absolutely wonderful, they are all so nice and friendly! Make sure to stay until the fireworks show at the end of the evening, it starts at 9:20PM, and it truly it a magical experience that you don’t want to miss!!

Vacation has been good to me so far! First time at Disney in nearly 28 years. Its a whole lot bigger than Dollywood. The four traffic is horrendous, as expected. People have no respect for you. But the place itself was absolutely amazing! Truly something to remember! I loved it. Would love to go back one day!

I will try to provide the most concise summary of my experience. There are many guides online but they are all long and superfluous.Buy tickets in advance, at least a month, maybe more in busy seasons (spring and summer). You buy a day entry ticket but you also have to reserve entry to one of the parks. The dates have to match if you are going to only one park.This experience might be expensive, but it is worth every penny. The light show at 9:20 pm with fireworks is worth the price of admission. Parking is in the ticketing and transportation center. I didn’t see signs to mark where we parked, I think they mark it on the floors, but they definitely should hang signs up.Then you can use the monorail or ferry to get to the park, we use one each way to experience both. Definitely avoid weekends, Mondays and Fridays (ppl can take long weekends), best days are Tuesday and Wednesday for crowds.Use the app. One of the best apps I’ve ever used. They must’ve spent a fortune on it and it shows. Very easy to use, no glitches, use the map, it shows the average waiting times for all attractions and they are accurate and frequently updated.The Disney Genie + is for 15 dollars extra and I think it’s worth it. I bought half way through the morning and used it to get to the lightning lanes. It takes some planning on your part to utilize it to the max but it is really good. They give lightning lane slots starting around 7:30 am. You can reserve a spot to the busy attractions and it will give you an hour time slot later in the day to use the fast lane, you can reuse it after 2 hours for new attractions only, not the one already used for. For space mountain and Railroad it took the waiting tome for each from 50 minutes to 10 minutes. Both are excellent rides but space mountain is something else. It’s a new experience that I’ve never seen before in a ride and it was amazingThey have frequent shows in the square which you can see the times for from the tip board in the app.

Honestly, to the gentleman whos significant other really wants to take a trip to Disney.... GO you have no idea what you are missing out on. So much fun stuff for kids and adults alike! I loved my experience at Disney and found it to be extremely memorable for our honeymoon! I would highly recommend a visit even for a day or two. It has truly changed my perspective on how fun and magical a place can be. Im so lucky to have gone at such a perfect time in May to experience it all!

Great experience to have with family and friends. Best place to take if you have kids but I went with adults and we had a lot of fun. Prepare for long lines and a lot of walking but the parades were amazing, and the castle was magnificent. 9pm showcased the fireworks and that was pretty cool. Definitely recommend!

I can’t think of one thing that I can complain about. We always have a wonderful time we come to Magic Kingdom. It’s our favorite park because of the iconic castle and this is where you will find the older Disney themed characters. What I love about it is even at my age I feel like I can have fun as if I were a kid again. We go at least once a year and we never get tired of visiting.

What an amazing place to visit its incredibly magical and definitely the happiest place on earth! The only issues we found were the wait times, with things not all being fully opened and still having lots of guests wait times seemed to go on forever. The food was averagely priced but there wasnt a lot of it for the price. The show at the end for celebrating the 50th anniversary was fantastic and something to behold! I have been many times to Disney parks and that was the best show I had ever seen!

Brought my children here for the first time. They definitely enjoyed every bit of it. My daughter was sad she didn’t get to see any of the Disney princesses due to covid. It’s been two years so hopefully they’ll be bringing them back out soon. We got tickets for one day. When we come back in the future we’ll definitely be getting more days. We weren’t able to do everything in just one day. I’d recommend the lighting pass. The lines weren’t horrible but it would’ve helped us ride more rides. Also didn’t know you could bring in backpacks with food and water!! That’s a huge plus. This truly is a magical place.

Loved it! The staff was so friendly and we all want to go back. Its truly magical! Best advice is to take a day break in between parks to regenerate if you have younger children.

The best place to bring your family and friends there is rides and things to do for all ages. The moment you setp inside the Magic Kingdom you feel like a kid and want to go on every ride and want to buy everything you see. You can relaxed and enjoy the best times of your life making memories with your family or friends or love ones.

I absolutely love this park! So full of magic! I love that they have tons of rides that you can ride that arent necessarily fast paced or a roller coaster for those of us that dont have the strongest stomachs! Amazing food. Plenty of vegan options! Highly recommend this park. Absolutely amazing! Worth every penny

It is a magical experience to go through even as an adult who was visiting it for the first time. Loved the parades and the song and dance and fireworks. As others have said the waiting time for rides is insane. You have to be majorly patient to even have a chance to ride more than 4-5 rides in a day. I think Disney has made enough money over the years to surely consider limiting capacity per day so people can really feel their moneys worth. At almost $160 per ticket to just ride a few rides is just not right. Worse still you are standing in burning heat with no chairs in these meandering queues with no end in sight.So the experience is lovely but for what you pay just to spend half the day in queues, it’s really not worth it. And that’s before you include food drinks merchandise etc. you could spend almost $300 as a solo traveler, I can’t imagine how much families are spending. It’s becoming difficult for people of a certain persuasion to really enjoy this place. Either Disney needs to consider reducing capacity so those entering really enjoy the whole Disney experience or they need to reduce their prices cause it’s crazy to spend that much just for 2-3 rides.

My first time to Disney World & I got to enjoy it with my family. It was wonderful family time. I enjoyed the time with my grandchildren and the whole experience of Disney. The rides, the sites everything. But be prepared to walk! We logged over 8 miles closer to 9 in one day.

Love Disney, how can you not, the Magic Kingdom in my opinion is still the best park. All the favorite theme rides, classic Disney. The park was very busy but people seem to move fairly well given the large crowds. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We had to take my mom in a wheelchair in the park this time. They really accommodated her so she could have a great time too.

This was our first time taking out toddlers to Disney. I love the fact that we were able to bring in our own snacks and drinks in our travel cooler. It wasnt that crowded and the Disney Genie Plus Lightning Lanes help cut down our wait for some ridesnot the popular ones though. I would definitely suggest getting familiar with the app prior to your trip. Make sure to also bring an extra charging pack for your cell phone because you will be using it all day for the app. We only had to order lunch once since we came prepared with our own snacks. The rides we were able to get on with our toddlers were pretty good and they enjoyed them. We loved the shows and parades throughout the day. I am glad we did not get the photo pass and would not suggest getting one. Almost every picture they took of us was awful. You will be better off taking your own photos. Our best photos were taken when we offered other families to take photos of them and then they take one of us. My toddlers had a great time and all in all we enjoyed our time here and will definitely be coming back.

Magic Kingdom is my favorite park!!! The 50th celebration is amazing! We stayed on property so we were able to use the early entry. We were able to rope drop a handful of attractions but lines did get very long super quick we were here on a Thursday and by early afternoon the park was very packed. I would definitely recommend using genie+ or lighting lane if possible. Overall we had a great time and cant wait to come back in May.

Through the eyes of our five-year-old daughter, Magic Kingdom was magical. Meeting "real" princesses, seeing the Disney Castle, going on Splash Mountain, eating cotton candy, it was a dream come true! However, she was ready to go back to our hotel content after nine hours at the park.For adults, most love Magic Kingdom. For my wife and I, its not our jam. We love off-the-beaten-path travel and Magic Kingdom is a glorified theme park with a steep price tag and crowds.However, we did love Splash Mountain, the misting stations, the charging station by the Storybook Circus and seeing our daughter so happy!

Great day; quite fun. Lines were longer than we were anticipating for February, but there was still a good amount of things to do. Space Mountain was temporarily down when we wanted to ride. It opened up with a relatively low wait, but we ended up in line for almost 2 hours, probably because of the fast pass holders. I think one of the other Disney Parks would have been more enjoyable for our family.

Magic Kingdom while Im not 100% sure I was there 30 plus years ago. This is definitely a great experience. I do think this is more for kids unlike Epcot where it has more adult stuff, thats interesting. This park is very busy and seems to be where everybody starts out at. This was by far the best for my daughter and she is ten. You definitely have to get the lightning pass and make sure you research how it works because youre not eligible for every ride. Theres time constraints and availability but I think you need that to have a good day there. If you dont get the lightning pass, I think you may only be able to do 50% of what you would like to do because of the lines. Will definitely be back. Great experience. Great job Disney

We went on a Wednesday in January, and while the park was still very crowded, we never waited more than 25 minutes.We didnt have any special passes, and we were able to ride 12 rides.We packed our own food to save money.Definitely try to see the Princess Cavalcade down Main St.Orange Lake Resort is the perfect place to stay if you want to save money, and still stay at an incredible family-friendly resort.

Very busy, considering this is considered their low season before spring break. Still magical, well maintained grounds, friendly cast members. Some rides were 60 min wait. Others 10 to 20 minutes. Did not use lightning lanes or individual ride passes. We decided to leave 30 minutes before fireworks show at 8pm to beat the massive exodus of people. We did have a wonderful time, and I still recommend visiting on week days and non holidays.

Wonderful experience for my daughter & I. We had a blast. I loved the Ferry Boat great view heading to Magic Kingdom. The wait lines were long as expected since we went on a Saturday about 90 mins. Great mini shows. Beautiful fireworks at closing. We rode the Mono Rail heading out so it was faster getting back to our vehicle.Overall I will be returning!

Even though this is considered a magical place for children for the adults its not so much. The customer service is not that pleasant at all with rude staff at times I understand the crowding is too much but it doesnt mean that we should be treated like we came here for free because we didnt, we paid a lot for the parks access. So thats something that Disney has to work on in addition to better crowd control this park is always very filled with too much crowding. Even if you buy the lightning lane, it will still take you a whole day to get on some of the rides because of the long waits and you still wont get to try all the rides if you only go there for one day. The food is not bad considering the price of course the souvenirs are overpriced as expected.

This was very magical for my youngest daughter, it was a great start to our Disney World trip. The fireworks were definitely worth staying for. But people started camping out around 5pm to get a good spot. We found a good spot closer to the time of the fireworks. No one right in front of you if you go right behind a walkway.

I’m not sure what I can say in this review that hasn’t already been said by a massive amount of people already. But here’s my experience…I had a great trip overall. Some staff members were super friendly while others showed very clear emotions of annoyance. But truthfully- I get it.The entire property is clean. Which is a close to impossible task for such a large scale park.When it comes to COVID precautions, they are none existent. Obviously it’s challenging to keep the precautions and safety measures under complete control with the amount of people. But, there’s definitely some things they could improve on. One being the crowds were insane. They say they limit tickets but there’s no sign that’s true. The waits overall were long and walking around ride to ride was usually a nightmare weaving in and out the sea of people. Along with that, not a single hand wash station had anything in them. There’s also supposed to be a mask mandate which was NOT enforced. Very disappointing.Also a little disappointed how the parades are a fraction of what they used to be. I feel like I’ve thought of Mickey Mouse more on a random day than I did at Disney. We didn’t even see Goofy, Pluto, and Daffy Duck a single time during the entire day. Not sure how that’s possible.Last, I wanted to touch on the fast pass/Genie service. I’ve seen nothing but complaints on it. But you have to learn how to use it correctly. Then it’s a great service. Instead of picking your rides and running all over the park, you just pick the rides one by one that are near you. That easy.But also, the light show and firework show is INSANE. So stay for them.

Not a big fan if the Genie experience. It was okay enough as we were able to do most of what we wanted but we are also pretty savvy when it comes to working Disney. I cant imagine a newbie coming to the park, paying extra for the genie experience (15 bucks per personand then discovering if you dont pick the right rides at the right time you wont be able to ride them... not without at least dropping another 9-12 bucks per person per ride in their party. Thats what happened to us for one ride. There for one minute, gone the next unless we wanted to pay more.Its no wonder why you are seeing fist fights break out in the lines these days. People drop a lot of cash that they likely cant afford and when it doesnt work out people lose their minds.Bottom line, Disney is on their way to making their parks for the rich only... the American way, just like Walt wanted I guess.We still love Disney but this is likely it for us for a long time. Oh well.

Went in September, it was humid BUT with that being said it was great time to go. Not packed at all, got on ALL the rides. They already had decorations for Halloween and I was able to to the Halloween special event after hours! Great time! Definitely will be coming back.

Awesome park, great rides, nice places to eat food and nice stores. Its definitely big enough to fill your whole day and the firework show is a must-see! The waiting times can feel a little bit long but as long as you keep yourself busy you can get through them. Overall a percect park! 10/10 would recommend!

The Disney experience on Christmas day did not disappoint. It was truly magical. Not as crowded as I thought it would be. They had a special holiday performance after the castle show with Mickey and all his friends. **Masks are still required in all enclosed spaces in the park and in all rides. Kids 2+ are also required to use masks.
