Magic Kingdom is divided up into 6 different themed lands: Main Street USA, Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland. Each land is connected to the central hub-Cinderella Castle. These lands are rich with theming. And so much attention to detail. Example: throughout Liberty Square, you see a wave of brown concrete that runs through the center of the main walkways. This signifies the sewage that was in the streets in Colonial America.

For me, Magic Kingdom marks the beginning. In most of my Disney trips that I can recall, this is the first park we have gone to on our first full day. I love walking in under the train station, seeing the old attraction posters, then walking around the square in Main Street to see the Castle. Every time it is just so magical. On my most recent trip to Walt Disney World, my husband and I had early morning reservations for the Crystal Palace, which granted us early entrance into Magic Kingdom. Being able to stroll down Main Street with barely anyone around us was absolutely amazing. They even had a PhotoPass photographer out near the Castle Hub. A picture with the Castle with not a lot of people in the background? Yes please!

In planning for a day at Magic Kingdom, the best advice I can give is to plan to be there for what is known as "Rope Drop". This marks the beginning of the day at Magic Kingdom. Previously, this took place at the Main Street train station, with guests waiting right at the park entrance. It was recently changed to take place at the Cinderella Castle stage. Because of this move, guests are able to be in the park prior to opening, which may make images like the one above harder to come by. Magic Kingdom has by far the most attractions of any Walt Disney World park, so I recommend a full day's worth of time for Magic Kingdom if you are wanting to experience as much of the park as you can.
There's so much more that can (and eventually will) be talked about when it comes to Magic Kingdom. Stay tuned for more. For now I will leave you with "Kiss Goodnight".
