Magic Kingdom Cheat Sheet Rope Drop: Magic Kingdom opens its ticketing gates about an hour before official Park open. Guests are held just inside the entrance in the courtyard in front of the train station. The opening show, which features Mickey and the gang arriving via steam train, begins 10 to 15 minutes prior to Park open and lasts about seven minutes. At the conclusion of the show, the Park is opened. The best viewing area is front and center, but this puts you at a great disadvantage entering the Park as everyone off to the sides will enter before you. To minimize morning waits, make your way to the far left or right of the courtyard in front of one of the entrances. There may or may not be internal ropes at the various Lands holding guests until closer to official Park open. General Touring Philosophy: With 60+ attractions, Magic Kingdom is best toured over two or more days. The best plans compartmentalize the Park by visiting two or three Lands each day. Visit the character and attraction priorities in one Land before moving on to the next. Have lunch and then head back to the same Lands visiting the “anytime attractions.” This minimizes both waiting and walking. One-day touring will require more walking. You can still accomplish a lot by touring intelligently, but some attractions will need to be skipped. Characters: Unlike the other three Parks, there are characters that need to be prioritized ahead of the most important attractions. If you’d like to visit Enchanted Tales with Belle, Merida, Tinker Bell, or Rapunzel, you need to visit first thing in the morning, in the last hour they’re scheduled to appear, or use FastPass+ (where applicable) to avoid 30 to 75 minute waits. Visit the Character Prioritization page for more information. FASTPASS Priority: 1. Peter Pan’s Flight 2. Space Mountain 3. Splash Mountain (when high temperatures are 80+ degrees) 4. Rapunzel at Princess Fairytale Hall 5. Cinderella at Princess Fairytale Hall 6. Mickey Mouse at Town Square (Disconnected, see below) 7. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad 8.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin 14. Dumbo Disconnected FASTPASSes: Town Square Mickey, Dumbo, and Barnstormer are disconnected from the FASTPASS system, meaning you can collect them at any time in addition to another attraction. For example, you could pull Mickey, Dumbo, Barnstormer, and Space Mountain FASTPASSes back to back. Mickey is a higher priority now that he talks and capacity is lower. FastPass+ Priority: 1.

Mickey’s PhilharMagic There are far more FastPass+ opportunities at Magic Kingdom than any of the other theme parks, making the decision on which to pick difficult. Consider picking three high priority attractions in a Land that you don’t plan to visit until the afternoon or evening. For example, if you plan to start your day with Tinker Bell, Aladdin’s Magical Carpets, Jungle Cruise, Big Thunder Mountain, and Splash Mountain, then you may want to use FastPass+ in the afternoon in Fantasyland at Enchanted Tales with Belle, Peter Pan’s Flight, and Rapunzel or in Tomorrowland at Space Mountain, Tomorrowland Speedway, and Buzz Lightyear.
