Magic Kingdom is a quintessential Disney park, with a plethora of rides, shows, characters, and fun to be had. However, these are the 5 things that I will NEVER do at the Magic Kingdom.  Wait more than an hour for Peter Pan’s Flight Listen, I love the classics. I adore rides like Dumbo and The Little Mermaid. I will always advise people not to skip rides like Mad Tea Party or the People Mover. But everybody has their limits. Peter Pan’s Flight is a cute ride, but I’m not waiting 60 minutes or more  when I have prioritized other experiences.   Peter Pan’s Flight is a great ride. It’s got history, charm, and pixie dust. It is a standout ride in many children’s memories, and that’s why people go crazy over flying to Neverland. The ride also has a very slow loading and unloading time. Popularity plus low capacity equals a long wait time. It is not uncommon to see a wait time of at least 60 minutes.  Luckily, there are times when the wait time does dip down. If you want to ride Peter Pan,

Alice is a very fun character to meet! She signs autographs and her line is usually not too long. When you meet her, be sure to wish her a very merry unbirthday!  Magic Kingdom At the time of writing, Alice does not currently have an official meet and greet at the Magic Kingdom. However, she has been known to pop up time to time near the Mad Tea Party ride. Be sure to keep a lookout for her! EPCOT Alice also meets in her homeland of the UK in EPCOT.  She meets right outside the Tea Caddy cottage. If it is raining, she will move her tea party inside a gift shop. She usually meets 9am-2pm. Check schedules for specific times. I recommend meeting her later in the day as lines will be shorter.  Other Alice is also apart of the Festival of Fantasy Parade and the Main Street Electrical Parade. Seeing Alice in the parades is a good alternative to meeting her in person, especially if your child is shy or you do not want to wait in long lines to meet her. Both parades are in Magic Kingdom. T

Pooh and pals usually draw a long line as they are incredibly cuddly. Give Pooh a big bear hug when you meet him! He is stuffed with fluff, after all.  Magic Kingdom You can meet Pooh and Tigger in Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom. Their meet and greet area is called the Thotful Spot (get your head out of the gutter) and it is located right next to the Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh ride. They meet mid-morning to evening, usually 10am-8pm. Check schedules for more specific times.  EPCOT Winnie the Pooh meets guests in his homeland of the UK in EPCOT. You can find him towards the back of the Toy Solider shop. This meet and greet area is decorated to look like Christopher Robin's Room, and makes for a very cozy backdrop. Pooh will typically be here by himself. On occasion, another friend from the Hundred Acre Woods, like Tigger, might drop by. This meet and greet experience is open from about 9:00am - 4:00pm. Be sure to check the My Disney Experience app for specific times. 

If you have a Toy Story obsessed kid, or you are a Toy Story obsessed big kid, then you’ll want to plan for a character meet and greet during your Walt Disney World vacation.  Hollywood Studios The best place to see Toy Story characters is at Toy Storyland! Woody and Jessie  can be found right across from the Toy Story Mania ride. The line for this location is usually about 15-30 minutes long. You can expect to say “howdy” to Woody and Jessie from about mid-morning to the evening. Be sure to check the My Disney Experience app for accurate times.  Buzz Lightyear’s meet and greet area is located near the entrance of Toy Storyland, across from the giant Woody statue. Buzz meets guests from about mid morning until the evening. Be sure to check the My DIsney Experience app for up-to-date times.  Sometimes the Green Army Men will make appearances by the Toy Story Midway Mania ride. They do not sign autographs, but they will interact with guests and take pictures.  Magic Kingdom At the tim

Wondering when to visit Disney World?  Our guide covers the best times of year to go, from low crowds to seasonal festivities. Plan your magical Disney getaway with these insider tips. Three Factors To Scheduling Your Disney Vacation Crowd Levels Visiting the parks when it is too crowded can lead you to have a bad time. More people means longer lines and less attractions you will be able to experience during your stay. Not only will wait times for rides be longer, but the lines to order food at restaurants will be longer, and the lines at the bus stop and monorail station will be longer. Everything will take more time than what you anticipate. It’s easy to see why so many people would want to go at a time when crowd levels are lower! A popular tip circulating Disney blogs for the past decade was to go during one of several off seasons: January - the beginning half of March, the beginning half of May, September, or November. Disney World also caught on to the fact that less people were

It is 7 a.m. You step off of your packed bus and onto the pavement. The Florida air is already thick with humidity. You hear strollers wheeling along the concrete and see a crowd of Mickey ear hats. You follow them along the sidewalk towards a green sign that reads “Disney’s Animal Kingdom.” You may notice upon entering the park that the ticket booths have three different animals on them. One has a dinosaur, one has an elephant, and one has a dragon. These represent the three pillars that make up Animal Kingdom - the animals of yesterday, the animals of today, and the animals that never were. This mirrors Magic Kingdom’s themes of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.  You’ll notice that each one of these are perfectly represented right now, within different lands of the park. The animals of fantasy are found in Pandora. The animals of today are found in the Oasis, Africa, and Asia. And the animals of yesterday are represented by Dinoland. By destroying Dinoland, Disney is taking a sledgeh
