First off, let me warn you , the parks are very large , you will be doing alot of walking !
There are so many different aspects of magic kingdom to explore ,you have main street USA as you first walk in which is set out like a quaint street with shops like emporium and the most amazing confectionery store.
Coming out of mainstream you will see Cinderella's castle and what a sight it is. Trust me you will spend a good 10 mins taking it in and taking pictures stood in front of it. In each direction from the castle you will 5 different lands. Tomorrow land, fantasy land , liberty square, frontier land and adventure land.So where to begin?
There are so so many things to see and do at magic kingdom I thought I would outline 5 must sees.
1. Spacemountain - located in tomorrow land it's a fast paced indoor roller coaster and let's just say it's rather dark! Ifs your not keen on fast rides I'd maybe give this ride a.miss as drops and turns will unexpectedly come at you in the pitch black. The ride doesn't go upside down but there are plenty of thrills . I'd recommend either getting a fast pass for the ride or heading straight there in the morning. Queues will build in the day.
2. Pirates of the Caribbean - Found in adventureland, pirates of the carribbean is a boat ride adventure journeying to a time when pirates ruled the sea. This is a slow moving boat ride with a few small drops There's always a steady queue at this attraction but nothing like snow white and the seven dwarves so I wouldn't use up one of your three fast passes. A lovely boat ride and great for kids who will even get to see their favourite Jack Sparrow.
3. Wishes- Wishes is the nightly firework display which really is a magical end to a perfect day. Wishes is a mixture of spectacular fireworks played in unison with some of the greatest disney voice overs and narrated by Jiminy Cricket. The show is for sure a must see and to get a good spot I would recommend finding a space facing the castle. People will reserve their spots up to an hour before so make sure if you want some of the best views to secure your place early. It's not a necessity to do this as there is plenty of room to walk up 5 mins prior to the start and get a decent view. You can get a fast pass for this too, where they'll be a small section reserved for you but again I would probably save these for the busiest rides.
4. Splash mountain- Situated in Frontierland Splash mountain is a log flume ride which plummets you down a 52foot drop. A great ride which is worth waiting for especially when you're boiling hot. The boat ride will take you through the familiar characters from the Disney film 'Song of the South' and tease you with smaller drops before the finale !I would recommend getting a fast pass for this ride especially in peak season for visitors and humidity as people will flock here for a quick cool down.
5. Haunted mansion-Located in liberty Square this is a spooky tour through an eerie haunted house following the story of an evil bride who continues to murder her husbands. The effects in this are amazing as you peer down on the dancing ghouls gliding through the ballroom, just watch out for hitch-hiking ghosts! This always has a steady queue but the queue is part of the experience as you pass grave stones and interactive wall stones.
Now I realise I have only mentioned 5 out of so so so many good attractions, I could easily waffle on for a good while about all the other rides. These are my must sees but yours may be different, my recommendation would be for you to write your top five and make these a priority!
