Magic Kingdom

DISNEY WORLD | DAY 3

There is just something magical about Magic Kingdom. There’s so much to do and see, the food is yummy, and the parades and cavalcades take it to a whole other level. The crowd calendar was a 3 out of 10, which was the lowest of any of the days we were there. My highlights included TRON, twinning with Rooney, a delicious hand-dipped corn dog, powdered sugar beignets, and Tink flying out of the castle to end the night. It’s the most magical place on earth!

Our favorite rides at Magic Kingdom:

  • Eric: TRON

  • Kelsey: TRON

  • Rooney: TRON

  • Finch: Tomorrowland Speedway

Magic Kingdom has a lot of rides, but not many thrill rides. I wish we could have rode TRON again!

Favorite foods:

  • Sleepy Hollow: Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich, Hand-dipped Corn Dog

  • Adventureland Spring Roll Cart: Pepperoni and Cheese Spring Roll

  • Beignets were available for a limited time at Golden Oak Outpost, and we were incredibly lucky to hit that one-month window

Next time I would change:

  • Don’t miss the Festival of Fantasy Parade! I only caught the end of it, thinking we would be back again later in the week. I absolutely watched it on YouTube when we got home :)

  • Get pineapple Dole Whip

  • Get a better family photo in front of the castle

  • See Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire

  • Go back for a second day :)
