Planning information
Tips from our
Disney Vacation Planning Consultants:
Add a personal touch to your collection and get pins from
favorite Disney attractions, events — or with characters that interest you.
Organize your Disney pin collection in categories such as
characters, attractions or special events — making it easier to find a specific pin
to show or trade.
Disney pin collecting is a great way to remember a favorite
attraction, event or character. It's like bringing home a piece of the magic!
Remember to bring your camera, but don't worry: If you forget,
cameras, film and batteries are always available for purchase in the Park.
Be sure to bring water and sun screen. Having a poncho, umbrella
or light raincoat might be a good idea, too.
Remember to drink plenty of liquids during your visit.
Adults with youngsters too small to ride may take turns riding an
attraction. There is no need to wait in line twice. Ask a Cast Member for details.
Be sure to keep your ticket and have your hand stamped upon
exiting the Park if you wish to return later the same day.
Don't forget to bring your autograph book to Mickey's Toontown®
Fair where you can find your favorite characters.
Many Disney Cast Members are fluent in more than one language.
The flags on their nametags indicate which languages they speak.
Check the Magic Kingdom® Park Guide
for show times and Park hours.
Check the tip board on Main Street U.S.A.® throughout the day
for the current wait times for the most popular attractions at the Park.
Look for the Disney photographer at the entrance to the Park and
in front of Cinderella Castle to get that magical memory of your day at the Magic
Kingdom® Park.
For a full-service meal, make priority seating arrangements when
you arrive at the Park at either Guest Relations or the desired eatery. Or make advance
plans by calling us at 609-978-0740.
Measure your child's height before you arrive at the Park so you
know which attractions he or she is able to ride. All height requirements are listed on
this Web site.
If your party decides to split up, remember to set a meeting
place and time. But try not to pick any place too trafficked, like in front of Cinderella
Castle, or it may be difficult to find your party.
Study a map of the Park prior to your arrival to become familiar
with the location of the attractions you are most interested in.
Take advantage of Disney's FASTPASS® Service. Simply slip your
Park Pass into the FASTPASS machine to receive an assigned return time and enjoy the rest
of the park while Disney's FASTPASS saves your place in line.
The Magic Kingdom® Park has three ATMs: under the Main Street
train station, near the FrontierlandShooting Arcade and at the Tomorrowland Light &
Power Co. arcade near Space Mountain®. You can exchange most foreign currency at City
Hall.
With so much to see and do at the Walt Disney World® Resort, we
encourage you to wear casual clothes and comfortable shoes.
Did you know that you can get a haircut at the Magic Kingdom®
Park? Visit the Harmony Barber Shop located beside the Car Barn on Main Street.
Special "behind the scenes" tours are available at the
Magic Kingdom® Park, Epcot® and Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park. Just call
609-978-0740 and one of our Travel Consultants for reservations and details.
