  • What are the busiest times at the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney Resort?

    • Spring break, typically the week of Easter, the week of Thanksgiving, and the week after Christmas through New Year's Day.

  • Do high wait times mean the Magic Kingdom is busy?

    • Typically, there is a strong correlation between the wait time numbers and how busy the parks are: if wait times are higher the park is busier. However, weather and other events can cause wait times to be high without the park being super busy.

  • How busy is the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World right now?

    • Take a look at the graph at the top of the page. It shows you how live wait times compare to the average wait time today. If wait times are above the dashed gray line, wait times are above average and the park is more crowded.

  • What is the busiest day to visit the Magic Kingdom?

    • Monday is the busiest day to visit the Magic Kingdom with an average wait time of 38 minutes. The least busy day is Sunday with a 30 minute average wait time.

  • What is the best day to visit the Magic Kingdom?

    • Sunday is the best day to visit the park with an average wait time of 30 minutes.

  • What is the best month to visit the Magic Kingdom?

    • September is the best month to visit the Magic Kingdom with an average wait time of 26 minutes.

  • What is the worst month to visit the Magic Kingdom?

    • March is the worst/busiest month to visit the park with an average wait time of 37 minutes.

  • Where do the Magic Kingdom wait times come from?

    • The wait times displayed are directly from the My Disney Experience app unless otherwise noted.

  • What are the Magic Kingdom park hours?

    • The Magic Kingdom typically opens at 9:00 AM for all guests. Disney Resort guests can typically enter at 8:30 AM. On many Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party days, the park opens at 8:00 AM with early theme park entry at 7:30 AM. Closing hours vary, but are typically 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM on days without a special event. Additional parks hours can be viewed here.

  • What is rope drop at Disney parks?

    • Short answer: rope drop is when the park first opens. Rope dropping is to get to the park at or before park opening. When you arrive at the Magic Kingdom before the park opening time, you are allowed to enter the main hub. A rope will block further entry into the park at various points. Guests will form lines at these areas. Once it is park opening time, a Cast Member will drop the rope, letting guests into experience the park's attractions.

  • Does the Magic Kingdom have fireworks each night?

    • Yes, the Magic Kingdom does have fireworks each night. Note that the fireworks show is sometimes exclusively for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, which are separately ticketed events.

  • Magic Kingdom vs Animal Kingdom?

    • While both are theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort, the Magic Kingdom (MK) and Disney's Animal Kingdom (DAK) are very different parks. In terms of attractions, MK has many more (DAK has the fewest rides of any WDW park). DAK is primarily a zoo with attractions intermingled.

  • What are the closest resort hotels to the Magic Kingdom?

    • The closest hotels to the Magic Kingdom are on the Monorail loop, which includes Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney's Contemporary Resort, and Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. A short boat ride away is Disney's Wilderness Lodge. Each is within the Deluxe category of Disney hotels.

  • Why is the Magic Kingdom closing early tonight?

    • If the Magic Kingdom is closing at 6 PM or earlier, it could be due to one of several reasons. If it is in August through October, a Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is likely being held. If it is in November or December, a Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is probably happening. Both of these are separately ticketed events. If there is not a party going on, the park is likely closing for a Cast Member special event.

  • What is the closest park to the Magic Kingdom?

    • The closest park to MK is EPCOT, which is connected via the Monorail.

  • Can you take the Disney Skyliner to the Magic Kingdom?

    • No, the Skyliner only connects two theme parks: EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

  • Did Walt Disney visit the Magic Kingdom?

    • Unfortunately, Walt Disney passed away before the Magic Kingdom was completed. However, Walt Disney World was inspired by Walt Disney. Often, the Magic Kingdom is what guests first think of when they imagine a Disney World vacation thanks to the imprints Walt made on the park.
