Say hello to Magic Kingdom Park

Attractions
Magic Kingdom Park is packed with iconic attractions, from the thrills of indoor coaster Space Mountain to the charm of Peter Pan’s Flight. Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion are other highlight rides, and so is the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – a family-friendly coaster with swaying mine carts, animatronic dwarfs, and gem-filled caverns.
Shows and entertainment
Eye-widening shows and rainbow-splashed parades are the bread and butter of Magic Kingdom Park. From Mickey’s stage performances to the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade, there’s music, dancing and familiar faces everywhere. Nights end with the Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away nighttime parade and fireworks over Cinderella Castle, lighting up the sky in colourful Disney style.
Food and drink
Magic Kingdom Park’s food scene mixes fun with flavour. At the Be Our Guest Restaurant, you can eat inside Beast’s enchanted castle with French-inspired dishes like coq au vin and chocolate tart. And Cinderella’s Royal Table offers a regal breakfast with views from inside the castle itself. For quick bites, Casey’s Corner serves classic hot dogs with loaded toppings.
