Walt Disney World Resort

Disney parks launches first-ever 360-degree panoramas on google street view.

Beginning today, you can now explore Disney Parks like never before – right from your phone or computer – on Google Street View. We’ve just launched a series of 360-degree panoramas featuring Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort locations you’ll want to check out to help plan your next vacation.

The new Disney Parks imagery on Google Street View includes our theme parks, water parks as well as a variety of areas at Downtown Disney and Disney Springs.

Google Street View -  Goofy at Disneyland

As you explore our Disney parks and destinations, you may run across some of your favorite Disney characters. We spotted Goofy at Disneyland – Can you find Donald or Pluto?

To create the 360-degree imagery at Disney Parks, Google used Street View Trekker, a wearable backpack with a camera system on top. The Trekker is worn by an operator and is moved through walkways and structures, automatically gathering images. Imagery is then stitched together to create the 360-degree panoramas you see today.

Here’s a list of the locations that the Trekker’s captured with links you can use to start planning your next Disney vacation:

  • Disneyland park, Disneyland Resort
  • Disney California Adventure park
  • Downtown Disney District
  • Magic Kingdom Park , Walt Disney World Resort
  • Disney Springs – Dining, Retail Locations
  • Disney’s Hollywood Studios
  • Pandora – The World of Avatar
  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom
  • ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex
  • Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
  • Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park

Disney Parks imagery is also being featured on Google’s Street View gallery page along with breathtaking natural wonders of the world. Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Destinations: Walt Disney World Resort , Disney Parks Launches First-Ever 360-Degree Panoramas on Google Street View

With the ongoing beating our Canadian dollar has been taking and filling our family with a feeling like a California trip is more out of reach as each week passes. This may be the only way for us to enjoy Disneyland or Magic Kingdom for the foreseeable future.

Do you know if this can be viewed using VR either through oculus or the PS4?

Virtual Visit to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom

virtual visit to the magic kingdom

In need of a little Disney magic? If you can’t get to the Most Magical Place on Earth, you can visit Walt Disney World virtually through YouTube ride and attraction videos.

magic kingdom 360 tour

We’ve rounded up a great video for each and every ride, attraction, and show that you can currently find at the Magic Kingdom. It’s the next best thing to being there!

Virtual Walt Disney World Series

Our virtual Walt Disney World series is just a fun way to explore and enjoy the parks when you can’t be there. Because the majority of these videos are from the guest’s point of view (POV), they can be even more fun viewed through VR headsets for your phone , or by projecting it on a wall or viewing on a big screen tv.

You can even get creative and make ride vehicles to sit in and add your own special effects. Have fun with it!!

And because it’s all virtual, you can hop from park to park as much as you want. Here are the links to the other parks:

  • Virtual Epcot
  • Virtual Disney’s Hollywood Studios
  • Virtual Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Virtual Magic Kingdom

Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is such a fun place to visit. The first of the four Disney theme parks to be built in Florida, it also has the most to see and do. It’s almost impossible to see it all in one day.

Express Monorail to the Magic Kingdom

“Por favor mantengense alejado de las puertas!” Please stand clear of the doors and enjoy your express monorail from the Transportation and Ticket Center to the Magic Kingdom. Stay on, and you’ll continue your journey all the way around the Seven Seas Lagoon and back to where you started.

Take the Ferry Across Seven Seas Lagoon

On a beautiful day, the more relaxing way to get to the Magic Kingdom is the Ferry Boat. You can choose to sit inside in the shade or stand outside on deck to feel the breeze as you cross the waters to the shores of the Magic Kingdom.

Let the Magic Begin

The “welcome show” for the Magic Kingdom used to be held outside the entrance. But a few years ago they relocated it to the castle stage. So once you arrive, you can enter the park and look around on Main Street, U.S.A. as you make your way to the Cinderella Castle stage to see the show.

Once the show is over, the other lands of the park will open and everyone can make their way (in an orderly fashion) to their first attraction!

Full Walk Around the Magic Kingdom

This is a well-shot, smooth walk around the entire Magic Kingdom. You can sit back and enjoy it all at once, or stop wherever you like and scroll ahead the next time to pick up where you left off.

Walt Disney World Railroad Full Loop

All aboard! The Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed for a while due to construction on the new Tron attraction. But thanks to this ride video, you can ride it any time you want! This version starts and ends at the Main Street train station.

Main Street USA

The “heart of America”, Main Street U.S.A. is such a great place to take your time and enjoy all the little details. As a Cast Member on my Keys to the Kingdom tour put it, Main Street, U.S.A. is like the opening credits to the show you are about to see in the rest of the park.

Take a Ride on Main Street Vehicles

The main street vehicles do not run all day long. So if you see one, be sure to catch a ride as it is a unique experience!

Meet the Citizens of Main Street, U.S.A.

Be sure to say hello to the citizens of Main Street, U.S.A. when you see them!

The Dapper Dans Barbershop Quartet

The Dapper Dans are a Magic Kingdom delight! They’ve been known to drop in and serenade guests getting haircuts at the Harmony Barbershop. But they also love to entertain the crowds right along Main Street, U.S.A.!

The Main Street Trolley Show

There’s nothing like a little singin’ and dancin’ to get you going in the morning. And the Main Street Trolley Show might just be pulling up to supply that for you as you walk up Main Street, U.S.A.! So be sure to stop and enjoy it!

The Casey’s Corner Pianist

Casey’s Corner is my favorite lunch spot in the Magic Kingdom. Aside from the baseball theming and great hot dogs, you can grab a seat with a great view of Cinderella Castle and listen to the soundtrack or, if you’re lucky, enjoy a live piano performance!

Cinderella Castle Hub

The castle hub is the center of the park. From here you can choose to go to any of the other themed lands. But it’s also a great place to hang out and enjoy the scenery. And it’s an especially good spot to watch the Festival of Fantasy parade.

Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire

Festival of fantasy parade.

The Festival of Fantasy Parade is a gorgeous, colorful parade with lots of huge floats and many of your favorite characters. The highlight is the fire-breathing dragon version of Maleficent. And while you can see the parade in Frontierland, Liberty Square, or on Main Street, U.S.A., nothing beats this view with Cinderella Castle in the background.

The Main Street Philharmonic

What do you get when you take a marching band and give them a Disney playlist? you get the Main Street Philharmonic!! Enjoy!

Move It! Shake It! MousekeDance It! Street Party

It’s like a parade that you get to be a part of! Join Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Clarabelle as they make their way to Cinderella Castle for a dance party!

Tomorrowland

Tomorrowland was my favorite land as a kid. Something about the future really gets the imagination going thinking about all that is possible. Thrill seekers can enjoy Astro Orbiter and Space Mountain. And the whole family will enjoy Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin.

Astro Orbiter

The Astro Orbiter offers some of the best views of any attraction in the Magic Kingdom. But the ride moves fast and is over before you know it, so make sure to keep your eyes open!

We found two options for you. The first is a standard view. The second is a 360-degree view where you can control which way you are looking.

Here’s the other Astro Orbiter video with a 360-degree view:

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin

Do you have what it takes to stop the evil Emporer Zurg from completing his galactic conquest? Join Buzz Lightyear and his space rangers in the ultimate battle!

Monster’s Inc. Laugh Floor

Enjoy this hilarious comedy show where the guests are sometimes part of the action.

Space Mountain

Zoom through the darkness of space aboard your rocket ship. While it’s extremely dark inside Space Mountain, this video turned out pretty good.

Tomorrowland Speedway

As a kid, I loved getting to drive my own race car around the Tomorrowland Speedway. This video puts you back in the driver’s seat, and if you want to keep watching it, it will do another lap in different lane.

Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover

“Paging Mr. Morrow… Mr. Tom Morrow.” Take a relaxing ride around Tomorrowland on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover.

Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress

Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress is one of those classic Disney attractions that people of all ages can enjoy.

Fantasyland

If you have little kids, you might find yourself heading straight for Fantasyland and spending a lot of time here. So many favorites and great new attractions since the expansion. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is the most sought-after FastPass+ in the park, but you can ride it over and over here with no wait!

The Barnstormer

The perfect first roller coaster for little kids, the Barnstormer is a fun ride.

Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station

While not a ride, the Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station is a great place to cool off on a hot Florida day at the Magic Kingdom. And since we’re walking through this virtually, we don’t have to worry about our clothes getting wet!

Dumbo the Flying Elephant

Take a ride in your very own flying elephant! Since relocating Dumbo the Flying Elephant to its new home in the Storybook Circus area, the wait times have been drastically reduced. And here, you don’t have to wait at all!

Enchanted Tales With Belle

Be part of the “tale as old as time” when you visit Belle in Fantasyland. Enter her house and be magically transported to the Beast’s castle!

it’s a small world

Take a ride on the happiest cruise that ever sailed on “it’s a small world”.

Mad Tea Party

The family always makes me promise that we won’t spin the teacup too fast. But that goes right out the window as soon as we get going on the Mad Tea Party!

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

A family favorite, the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a great ride for everyone. I love how the vehicle’s motion changes from scene to scene.

Mickey’s Philharmagic

Follow Donald on a magical journey as he borrows Mickey’s sorcerer hat and finds himself part of several classic Disney animation scenes. Mickey’s Philharmagic is a 3D film, which is why it’s a little blurry in this video.

Peter Pan’s Flight

Get pixie-dusted and fly above London and go off to Neverland with Peter, Wendy, Michael and John to battle the sinister Captain Hook. You can scroll back to see some of the queue elements.

Prince Charming Regal Carousel

Carousels are so much fun. And the Prince Charming Regal Carousel is no exception, with its beautiful horses and Disney music.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Since its debut, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train has become the most popular attraction at the Magic Kingdom. And it’s easy to see why, as it combines a family-friendly coaster with some really impressive modern animatronic characters.

Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid

Hop inside a clamshell and go under the sea to see the story of Ariel as you have never seen it before.

Liberty Square

Liberty Square is such a wonderfully detailed land. That more than makes up for it being the smallest. It also features my favorite Walt Disney World attraction of all-time: The Haunted Mansion.

Hall of Presidents

Enjoy this telling of our nation’s history by all 44 U.S. Presidents.

The Haunted Mansion

My absolute favorite Disney attraction. The Haunted Mansion artfully blends humor, story, and special effects to create an experience you can enjoy again and again.

Liberty Square Riverboat

Take a cruise on the Rivers of America aboard an authentic paddle-wheel ship.

Frontierland

As you move from Liberty Square to the end of Frontierland, you are heading further west while also going forward in time through the pioneer days. It’s much like how America expanded in real life. And when you get there, you find not one, but two thrilling mountain attractions!

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Take a ride on the wildest ride in the wilderness: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!

Country Bear Jamboree

Sit back and enjoy this country-western musical revue of singing bears.

Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade

As a kid, I always loved the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade. There are so many great effects that happen when you hit the targets. In this video, you’re more of an onlooker than a shooter, but it’s still fun.

Splash Mountain

Everybody has a laughing place. Sometimes you have to plummet through the briar patch to get there.

Tom Sawyer Island

Tom Sawyer Island doesn’t get a lot of love, probably because it isn’t easy to get to. But you can explore the island on this walk-through.

Adventureland

The spirit of Adventure is something shared by all of us, and in Adventureland, you can be an adventurer and explore the world. The world famous Jungle Cruise will either have you rolling on the floor, or rolling your eyes, as you travel the rivers and jungles of the world.

Jungle Cruise

The world famous Jungle Cruise takes you on a tour of the rivers of the world. But will you survive the jokes?

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is like Dumbo, but on flying carpets. Just watch out for those camels. They spit!

Pirates of the Caribbean

Arrrrrgh! Journey through a town as it is being overrun by pirates on Pirates of the Caribbean! and remember… Dead men tell no tales!

Swiss Family Treehouse

The Swiss Family Robinson was one of my favorite movies growing up. So the Swiss Family Treehouse has a lot of nostalgia for me. I would love to have a treehouse like this one!

Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room

Another classic Walt Disney attraction, the tiki room is a great place to get out of the heat and enjoy a good show. You can scroll back if you want to see the pre-show.

Nighttime Spectaculars

Every day at the Magic Kingdom is capped off by some great fireworks and light shows. In these videos, you have the best seat in the park for each.

Happily Ever After

Happily Ever After is the Magic Kingdom’s newest fireworks show that also includes projections on to the castle. While the fireworks can be seen from all over the park, the projection portion is best viewed from in front of Cinderella Castle.

Once Upon a Time

Join Mrs. Potts as she entertains Chip with a bedtime story that includes classic Disney tales projected on Cinderella Castle.

Electrical Water Pageant

Recently, we learned that the Electrical Water Pageant was only meant to be a one-time show as a thank you for corporate sponsors when the Magic Kingdom opened. But it is still running today!

Take a 360-degree ‘walk’ around Magic Kingdom as Disney World celebrates its 50th anniversary

Dawn jorgenson.

ORLANDO, Fla. – As most might know, October marked 50 years since Disney World opened its doors.

We don’t have to tell you how popular it’s become in the last five decades, or what a magical place it can be for kids. Who are we kidding -- it’s magical for people of all ages.

Recommended Videos

If you’ve had the pleasure of visiting, you know all of this. If you haven’t, you’ve probably heard.

As we celebrate Disney World’s 50th year of magic, we thought it would be fun to take a “walk” around Magic Kingdom.

Below, take a journey through the park on our detailed 360-degree map. Maybe it’s your first peek inside, or perhaps it’ll feel like a trip down Memory Lane.

Click on the button in the bottom right-hand corner to expand the image for a broader look. And be sure to rotate the image to see every angle.

A virtual visit to the Magic Kingdom at Disney World

The Happiest Place on Earth — without the long lines and hot sun

Share All sharing options for: A virtual visit to the Magic Kingdom at Disney World

Walt Disney World’s doors are closed until July, but if you’re feeling a little squicky about venturing to the Magic Kingdom so soon, there’s good news: If a Disney attraction exists (or existed in the time of YouTube), then chances are a high-definition video ride-through, walk-through, or POV of the attraction exists, ready to be experienced from home.

Disney parks have a lax policy when it comes to bringing cameras on rides to film the experience. As long as filming doesn’t pose a safety hazard (which it would on Hollywood Studios’ Rock ‘N Roller coaster, which goes upside down) or involve using flash on dark rides like Haunted Mansion, cast members permit visitors to use recording devices on most rides. While Disney specifically prohibits selfie sticks at the parks, GoPros, iPhones, and DSLR cameras are all allowed. (Which explains how one mad genius covertly directed an entire black-and-white thriller inside the parks.)

Ride-through and walk-through videos are a big part of theme park culture, showcasing many attractions and interactive areas of the park. The videos are so common that we were able to build an entire virtual ride through and walkthrough of the iconic landmarks at California’s Disneyland . The next logical step was Florida’s Disney World.

Like Walt himself, we never stop dreaming and building. So behold, a virtual exploration of the Magic Kingdom — the bigger, evolved version of Disneyland — broken down by land order. Yes, there is an order in which to “do” Magic Kingdom. Sorry, Dole Whip is not included (but here’s the official Dole DIY recipe if you’d like to complete the Walt Disney World experience).

Main Street U.S.A

Main street.

In Magic Kingdom, the Main Street area — designed to evoke Walt Disney’s hometown of Marceline, Missouri — is less about the attractions and more about the feel. It’s a quintessential part of the Magic Kingdom experience.

Disney Railroad

The railroad technically goes around the whole park, but it starts in Main Street so it goes here. Walt loved trains!

Adventureland

Jungle cruise.

The Emily Blunt Dwayne Johnson movie version of the iconic ride got pushed to 2021, but you can experience the full Disney World ride — bad jokes and puns included — through the magic of YouTube. The Florida version of this ride features carefully chosen plants designed to thrive in central Florida’s humid summers and surprisingly cool winters.

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin

The Aladdin-themed ride is basically the Dumbo elephant fixture of Fantasyland, but with magic carpets instead. In Magic Kingdom, this space is used for Aladdin character meet-and-greets.

Pirates of the Caribbean

The facade of this version of Pirates of the Caribbean is inspired by Castillo de San Felipe del Morro in the Old San Juan in Puerto Rico. The ride existed before the movie series was even a thing, though recent refurbishments have added some uncanny Jack Sparrow animatronics and rethinking of a scene where women were being auctioned off.

Swiss Family Treehouse

It’s not a ride, but it is a dope treehouse. Take a breather in the middle of your Disney day to explore some trees.

Enchanted Tiki Room

Talking birds, catchy songs — what more could you want? One of the immersive show experiences at Walt Disney World, the Enchanted Tiki room is full of parrots serenading guests.

Frontierland

Big thunder mountain.

The runaway railroad ride is a staple of Frontierland across Disney parks worldwide. With sharp twists and turns, it’s one of the more thrilling rides at Disney Word. The Florida version is slightly bigger than the California one.

Country Bear Jamboree

Do you remember the Country Bears movie? Well, it exists, and so does this video of the Disney World show.

Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade

Check out some rootin’, tootin’, shootin’ action.

Splash Mountain

The benefits to enjoying Splash Mountain in the comfort of your home: no risk of ruining your custom-made Disney vacation T-shirt with Splash Mountain water! Because, of course you’ll be wearing your Disney vacation T-shirt whilst embarking on this virtual adventure.

Tom Sawyer Island

Like its Disneyland equivalent, the island is Tom Sawyer-themed. The kids still love Tom Sawyer, right?

Liberty Square

The hall of presidents.

Come for the American history lessons, stay for the life-like wax figurines. Here’s the pre-2016 version , by the way, for no particular reason.

Haunted Mansion

Happy haunts await you! Each Haunted Mansion across Disney parks is themed to the area. In this case, the mansion evokes the Gothic Revival architecture of the mid-1700s, perfectly fitting in with the Revolutionary War-themed Liberty Square.

Liberty Square Riverboat

It wouldn’t be a Disney park without a riverboat. Unlike the Disneyland version, the Magic Kingdom isn’t tied to American author Mark Twain, but instead a more generic riverboat experience.

Fantasyland

The barnstormer.

A mild roller coaster tailored for kids, the Barnstormer got a revamp in 2011 after the Toontown area of Magic Kingdom closed down and turned into an expanded area of Fantasyland. Instead of being themed to take place at Goofy’s farm, it now fits more in line with the circus theme of the area (full name: The Great Goofini’s Barnstormer).

Casey Jr. Splash N’ Soak Station

Brush off your portable misting fan in order to fully recreate this experience.

Cinderella’s Castle

Cinderella’s Castle is over 100 feet taller than the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Anaheim. The castle is an iconic symbol of not just the Magic Kingdom, but Disney parks worldwide. Walking through the Cinderella Castle leads you right to Fantasyland.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant

One of the hallmarks of every Disney World vacation commercial, the Dumbo ride takes (virtual) visitors to the skies.

Enchanted Tales with Belle

Added to the 2011 expansion of Fantasyland, this interactive experience is part show, part house tour. Walk through Belle’s cottage and recreate the events of the movie with Belle and her friends. The line is always long, but the attraction is really cute, and now you can skip the line and view it via video! Unfortunately, this means no audience participation, but we must all make sacrifices.

It’s A Small World

Will this song get stuck in your head after watching this video? Probably! But it’s a wholesome song, so really, it could be a lot worse.

Mad Tea Party

Take a spin on the teacups! The Mad Tea Party and the Dumbo ride are the quintessential Fantasyland attractions, and they both involve spinning. What does it mean?

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

While the ride itself has remained relatively unchanged since its opening in 1999 (where it replaced Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride), the waiting area got retooled during the 2011 expansion to have a play area for restless little children.

Mickey’s PhilharMagic

The 4D show explores some iconic moments in Disney music, with Donald Duck commandeering a magical orchestra.

Peter Pan’s Flight

To this day, Peter Pan’s Flight is one of the most popular attractions in the Magic Kingdom, a testament to the power of good Imagineering, the legacy of J.M. Barrie’s timeless tale, and the fact that edgy tweens entering their Hot Topic phase are really into it.

Prince Charming Regal Carrousel

Every Fantasyland has a carousel. This one just happens to be themed to Prince Charming and Cinderella. There is an unverified rumor that one of the horses, specifically one with a golden bow, is “Cinderella’s horse.” The ride was originally called Cinderella’s Carousel, but was re-themed to the less exciting Charming and given a backstory , because why not.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

One of the new attractions to open up in the Fantasyland refurbishment (and also the one ride in Fantasyland I have yet to ride on because the line is always three-hours long), the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train debuted in the second phase of 2014. It’s a fast-paced ride, similar to both Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain in how its path winds both inside and outside. The ride reuses some animatronics from the now-defunct Snow White’s Scary Adventure.

Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid

A dark ride that takes guests through Ariel’s adventure, Under the Sea opened up in 2012 following a similar ride’s debut in California Adventure. While the California one’s exterior is stylized like an aquarium (which is, uh, kinda weird but okay), the Magic Kingdom version fits in with the rest of Fantasyland and is stylized like Eric’s castle.

Tomorrowland

Astro orbiter.

If the Magic Carpets of Aladdin is Adventureland’s version of the Dumbo ride, then the Astro Orbiter is Tomorrowland’s. Soar high above the retro-futuristic land in a wee little rocket.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin

Unfortunately, a YouTube ride through can’t capture the sheer satisfaction of blasting moving targets, but the video does capture the neon arcade-style decor pretty well. Called “Astro Blasters” in Disneyland, this version of the attraction features less dialogue than its California counterpart.

Carousel of Progress

Naysayers may say that the Carousel of Progress is a boring 20-minute show, but they’re really missing out on a few big things. One, Daddy Progress , the fan name for the father figure in the show. Two, a nice, quiet dark space to sit amidst the Florida heat and rest your Disney trekking feet for 25 minutes. And three, a delightful experience taking guests through four distinct eras of technological progress, full of iconic lines (“Whew, boy, hottest Fourth of July we’ve had in years!”) and an incredibly catchy song. We stan the Carousel of Progress in this house.

Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor

More of a show than a ride, the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor is a unique experience each time you visit, since Mike and the other monsters call out different audience members.

Space Mountain

Space Mountain, a roller coaster which hurdles guests almost entirely in the dark, doesn’t seem like it’d make for a fun ride-through video (since it, you know, takes place in the darkness of space), but you can’t have the full Tomorrowland experience without a ride on Space Mountain.

Stitch’s Great Escape!

Ever wonder how Stitch escaped after being taken into custody in the beginning of the movie? Be part of his adventure! Unfortunately, the video doesn’t capture the 4D effects, but given that one of the effects was a gross belch smell, maybe some attractions are better in video form.

Tomorrowland Speedway

Race some cars at Magic Kingdom’s race track. Lots of other Disney parks have a similar attraction under different names, but it’s all about going fast.

Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover

It’s just a track, one might say. But do not underestimate the sure love Disney fans have for the People Mover, which takes guests behind-the-scenes in certain Tomorrowland attractions. One of the staples of the park, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover has been through a few name changes — the most recent one being the readdition of “PeopleMover” to the Tomorrowland Transit Authority in 2010.

Take a Virtual Tour of Magic Kingdom With a Disney Imagineer and Uncover the Theme Park's Design Secrets

Join a Disney Imagineer for a magical tour of this iconic theme park.

Elizabeth Rhodes is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure , covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products. Originally from South Carolina, Elizabeth moved to New York City from London, where she started her career as a travel blogger and writer.

magic kingdom 360 tour

In the latest video of our Walk With Travel + Leisure series , you can tour Disney World's Magic Kingdom with an Imagineer and uncover all the design secrets and details you might have missed during your last visit.

Join Gary Landrum from Walt Disney Imagineering as he explores this iconic park's theme — magic made real — in its immersive lands, beloved attractions, and unique restaurants. The tour starts in Town Square with a history lesson on the Disney brothers (Walt and Roy) and their inspiration for the theme parks, before heading down Main Street, U.S.A. toward Cinderella Castle . The next stop is the "Partners" statue, where Landrum offers two statements that Disney legend Blaine Gibson imagined Walt saying to Mickey in the moment captured in the structure: "Look at all that we've accomplished" and "Look at all the happy people."

Next up on the tour is Tomorrowland, which is dedicated to our shared aspirations for the future, according to Landrum. He stops at the Carousel of Progress and Space Mountain, before heading into Fantasyland. Landrum shares the intricate design secrets of the Beauty and the Beast -themed Be Our Guest Restaurant. Even if you've visited the magical eatery in the past, you're guaranteed to learn something new about this restaurant's story. Then, it's off to Liberty Square and Adventureland. Did you know that Adventureland is divided into four realms? British colonial Africa, a desert oasis, Polynesia, and the southern isles are all represented in the land's attractions and theming.

The last stop is Cinderella's Castle for a tour of the exclusive Cinderella Castle Suite and all of its magical touches. From the stained-glass windows and mosaics to the antique furniture and bathroom sink, you won't believe all the elaborate details found in this one-of-a-kind room.

How To Take A Disney Virtual Tour

Table of Contents

Taking a Disney Virtual Tour isn’t just about watching videos of the rides. It’s about bringing the magical Disney atmosphere to life in your own home.

Dress up in your favorite Disney attire, whether they are these creative Disneybound outfits , these adorable Disney family shirts , or even a pair of comfy Disney leggings . Cook up some of the best Disney treats, like Disney churros , totchos (tater tot nachos) from Woody’s Lunch Box, or even just an easy batch of popcorn.

Then stream the videos on the largest screen you can find (probably your TV) to be fully immersed in the Disney World experience. With the sights, sounds, and smells reverberating throughout your home, you may not even notice that you’re taking a Disney virtual tour!

Cinderella's Castle Disney Virtual Tour

Disney’s Magic Kingdom Virtual Tour

It’s the morning of your day at Magic Kingdom, and you wake up bright and early to get the most out of your day. You put on your favorite Disney outfit and grab a bite to eat. Before you know it, you’re out the door and ready to go!

But before you can reach the entrance of Magic Kingdom, you first have to ride the monorail or the ferry. Which one do you choose?

Start Your Magic Kingdom Virtual Tour On Main Street USA

It’s time! You’ve made it to Magic Kingdom. You take in the warm sun and decide you want a snack from Main Street USA. There are so many fantastic treats from popcorn from the Main Street Popcorn cart to the corn dog nuggets from Casey’s Corner – which one do you try?

While your snacking on your delicious treat of choice, you hear the Dapper Dans in the distance joyfully singing “Zip-A-Dee Doo Dah.” Eventually this talented quartet makes its way into view, and you get a front row seat!

Just as you finish your snack, the Dapper Dans finish their set. You start off on your way towards Cinderella’s Castle, but not before the citizens of Main Street burst out into song and dance for the Main Street Trolley Show! How lucky are you today!

After dancing along to the wonderful sounds of the Main Street Trolley Show, you then make your way towards the most iconic Disney structure: Cinderella’s Castle.

Enjoy Cinderella’s Castle Hub

Of course, the first thing you do at Cinderella’s castle is take a bunch of pictures! When a balloon attendant walks by, you purchase one of them (for free of course! This is a virtual tour after all.) and it makes a great addition to your Instagram-worthy family photo.

As you’re taking all of your flawless photos, you hear the signature Disney twinkling sound signaling the start of an amazing show. You spin around and you see that Mickey’s Royal Friendship Fare is about to begin with all of your favorite characters, including Mickey, Tiana, Rapunzel, and Olaf!

https://youtu.be/FOUFB8BAavQ

When the show comes to an end, you have a big smile on your face and you’re clapping as fast as you can! You wish you could watch another amazing Disney production!

LUCKY YOU!! The Festival Of Fantasy Parade comes on right then!

More iconic Disney characters make an appearance – you see practically every Disney character that you could hope for during this Disney virtual tour!

Next Up, Tomorrowland!

You’ve already seen four amazing productions at Magic Kingdom, so you’re ready for something a little different when you head into Tomorrowland. As you’re on your way to Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, you spot the perfect Instagram photo wall : the galactic purple wall. You stop to take a few photos before hopping in line for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin.

Oh, but look! There’s no line at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin! You hop on right away and, by following these Buzz Lightyear ride tips that you read beforehand, score the ultimate high score: 999,999 points!

You’re at the top of the world when you spot the Buzz Lightyear blue wall. The lighting is on point in all of your photos. Your Instagram is going to blow up after all of these amazing Disney photos!

purple wall at magic kingdom on disney virtual tour

By this point in time, you’ve been out in the sun for a while. You need to cool down for a while, so you head to the air-conditioned Carousel of Progress. BUT WAIT!!! You are at home so you don’t even need to escape the Florida heat! Luck you!

You exit the Carousel of Progress all cooled off, and you’re ready for an adventure. You decide to conquer your fears and ride Space Mountain!

You step off the ride, and you feel exhilarated! You’re so glad that you decided to experience Space Mountain.

Exploring Fantasyland On Your Disney Virtual Tour

All of that adrenaline flowing through your body on Space Mountain makes you super hungry. By some fairy godmother-like magic, you snag a last-minute reservation at Be Our Guest. You even try the grey stuff (it’s delicious!).

When your belly is full and satisfied, your notice that the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train has NO LINE! You didn’t have to fuss over a FastPass+ or anything. You rush over to the ride and get on without having to wait a single second.

Once you get off the ride, you’re ready for another one, and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is right around the corner! Why not say hi to your friends from the Hundred Acre Woods?

Then, after wandering through the Hundred Acre Woods, you dive under the sea and pay a visit to Ariel and her gang at Under the Sea – Journey of The Little Mermaid. You swim around with Flounder, Sebastian, and the rest of the crew!

After three rides in a row, you consider taking a pause for a photo or a snack. And then you see it: Peter Pan’s Flight without a wait! This is the one and only time that this miracle will happen, so you take advantage of this opportunity.

You wrap up your slew of rides in Fantasyland with one of the best rides in Magic Kingdom : It’s a Small World! You sing along to the song as you relax on the air-conditioned boat ride.

The It’s a Small World song continues to play in your head as you begin to make your way out of Fantasyland. But wait! You’ve spotted another colorful wall that’s perfect for another photoshoot: the beautiful Tangled Bathroom wall. You snap a few more photos before heading off on your merry way.

Continue Your Disney Virtual Tour To Liberty Square

Once you make it to Liberty Square, you head to the Haunted Mansion ride, simply because it’s amazing.

When you’re done with that ride, you skip the Hall of Presidents, because the only good part about that experience is the AC – and you’re at home, so it doesn’t matter! Off to Frontierland you go!

Take On Frontierland

To start of your time in Frontierland, you ride the wildest ride in the wilderness: Big Thunder Mountain.

And your exhilaration isn’t over, because it’s off to Splash Mountain! If you really want to recreate the experience, consider adding a little bit of water-filled fun to your experience. Water balloon fight anyone?

Disclaimer: Splash Mountain is down for refurbishment and will reopen as “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure” in late 2024.

Since this is a Disney virtual tour, you decide to explore Tom Sawyer Island, even though you’ve never experienced it in person. After hopping on a log raft and travelling to the island, you realize how awesome the soaring trees and whirling mills are! You make a mental note to visit it in person the next time you visit Magic Kingdom.

Finish Your Day At Adventureland

The day is winding to an end, and you’ve made it to the last land in Magic Kingdom: Adventureland. You hop on the Jungle Cruise and sail through greenery-filled landscapes.

Once you hop off that boat, you hop on another on A Pirate’s Adventure – Treasures of the Seven Seas. You see Captain Jack Sparrow and the rest of his pirate crew sailing the seven seas.

End Your Magic Kingdom Virtual Tour With Happily Ever After

You decide to finish off your wonderful virtual vacation with the Happily Ever After Show. Soak in the colorful visuals, listen to the magical music, and finish off your Disney virtual tour of Magic Kingdom.

Disney’s Epcot Virtual Tour

Today’s the day to visit Epcot! You hop on the monorail and the excitement builds and builds as you see the iconic silvery white Epcot ball come into view.

Head To Future World First

Once you enter into Epcot, you’re greeted by the Epcot ball. You head into Spaceship Earth on the inside and go on a journey through the past, present, and future of human life.

After Spaceship Earth, your journeys into the future aren’t over. You head over to Mission Space, where you opt for the more thrilling version of the flight. (After all, you don’t have to worry about feeling the g-forces of space flight on this Disney virtual tour.)

When your spaceship returns back to earth, you hop right onto another speedy vehicle on Test Track, where you zoom around at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour!

Between the spaceship and the speedy car, all of the cylinders in your body are firing. Your adrenaline is pumping out at a ridiculous speed. You decide that you need to tone it down just a notch, so, as you round the circle of future land, you begin the Journey into Imagination with Figment, your favorite friendly dragon.

Now that you’ve calmed down a bit with your friend, Figment, you’re ready to head back into the air again. You buckle into Soarin, which is arguably one of the best rides in Epcot , and enjoy the beautiful scenery all over the world. Soar over the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Eiffel Tower in France, Mt. Fuji in Japan, and so many other amazing international landmarks.

Since you’ve already traveled into the Land Pavilion of Future World, Living with the Land is right around the corner. Calmly sail along this nature-filled ride while learning about wise agricultural practices. Can you spot the Mickey-shaped fruits and veggies?

Travel The Globe through The World Showcase

Now that you’ve travelled through the future, you’re ready to head back into the present in the World Showcase.

Before you begin this journey around the world, you have to decide: to drink or not to drink. One of the most popular things to do in Epcot is drink around the world . And you can do this at home too! While you could go all out and whip up a few different Disney-inspired international drinks, you could also just grab your adult beverage of choice and sip as you travel through this Disney virtual tour.

The first country up: Canada! Visit the winter wonderland of North America through the wonderfully crafted O Canada! film.

After exploring the magical landscapes of Canada, you can explore the charming scenery of France in the film Impressions de France. Watch the hot air balloons float along the Loire Valley and feel the hustle and bustle of a Normandy marketplace.

As you make your way around Epcot’s World Showcase, you’ll walk through each country, taking in the atmosphere, architecture, and culture. You’ll pass Morocco, Japan, the U.S., Italy, Germany, and China before you reach your next ride in Norway. Along the way, grab some international snacks, watch impromptu shows, and maybe take a few photos.

In Norway, you ride Frozen Ever After, a Frozen -inspired ride aboard a Viking ship filled with unexpected twists and turns.

You decide you want to hop on one more ride before you call it a night, and, lucky for you, the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros is just around the corner! You venture into the dark Mayan pyramid and hop aboard a boat.

Experience a Magical End to a Magical Day with Epcot Forever

You’ve explored the future and travelled around the world. To top off your magical day at Epcot, you watch the Epcot Forever fireworks show. Filled with uplifting music and colorful tidbits of culture, Epcot Forever is the perfect way to end the day.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios Virtual Tour

Day three of this Disney World virtual tour, and you’ve opted to go to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Since you’ve already taken a couple of other modes of transportation to get to Magic Kingdom and Epcot on this Disney virtual tour, you opt to take a ride on the new Disney Skyliner this time around.

Walk The Palm-Tree Lined Hollywood Boulevard

You enter into the gates of Hollywood Studios and onto Hollywood Boulevard. You see the palm trees lining the walkway and feel the warm sun on your face. You think to yourself, am I in California? (And you very well might be since this is a Disney virtual tour.)

sign for Disney's Hollywood Studios Disney Virtual Tour

You already know what ride you want to hop on first: The Tower of Terror. There’s nothing like starting your day off with a good rush of adrenaline. But on your way there, you catch a glimpse of the talented citizens of Hollywood, so you decide to stay and watch.

The performance comes to an end, and you’re clapping as fast as your hands can go. It was just that good!

Get Your Adrenaline Pumping on Sunset Boulevard

You finally tear your attention away from the citizens of Hollywood as they go back to their daily routine and head towards The Tower of Terror. As you turn on Sunset Boulevard, you see it in the distance: the rusting, crumbling, lofty Tower of Terror. It seems more sinister than you remember, but there’s no reason to be afraid – it is a Disney virtual tour, after all. You rush over and hop on in the ride in record time!

You hop off the Tower of Terror and feel like you barely managed to scrape by with your life! You think about taking a pause from the thrill rides, but then Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith has NO LINE AT ALL! Sounds like it’s time for another thrilling ride!

After all the twists and turns and drops, your body is jittering like you’ve had six cups of espresso! You decide that it’s really time to calm your body down, and, lucky for you, Beauty and the Beast ­ – Live on Stage is just about to start. Your see that there is the perfect number of seats right in the front, and you slide in just as the music for the opening number begins to play.

After watching Belle and the Beast’s fairytale story come to life, you’ve tackled pretty much everything you wanted to do on Sunset Boulevard in record time! As you make the rounds to Animation Courtyard, you see that a Disney Junior Dance Party is about to start, and you say why not! The little ones need some fun of their own.

After dancing around with Doc McStuffins, Vampirina, and Mickey Mouse, you and the little ones have huge smiles on your faces.

Return to Hollywood Boulevard For One More Ride

You decide to visit Mickey once again on Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, because this ride is the perfect combination of kid-friendly yet thrilling.

You did it! You helped Mickey and Minnie save the runaway train!

Peek Into Pixar Place

  You’re feeling like a superhero when you dash behind Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and into Pixar Place. And guess what? You’re not the only superhero there! Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible, and Frozone are all there too! You even spot the renowned superhero costume designer: Edna Mode!

Feel Like A Child Again At Toy Story Land

  After your time in Pixar Place, you turn the corner and end up in Toy Story Land. By now, your stomach is growling at you like Jack-Jack when he doesn’t get his cookie num nums (and the delicious smell of waffles wafting through the air definitely doesn’t help), so you make a stop at Woody’s Lunch Box for a snack.

Now that your tummy is nice and full, you’re ready to get back to the excitement. Up next is one of the best rides at Hollywood Studios : Slinky Dog Dash!

After you finish up that exciting new ride, you decide that you’re not quite done with Toy Story Land. Toy Story Mania is up next – and look at that! There’s no line!

You play all of the games, and you end up beating the high score of the day! But that’s not enough for you – you want to hold the highest score of the month . So you hop on again for another spin at it.

AND YOU DID IT!! Check out that amazing high score! No one’s going to be able to knock your high score of the month off the leaderboard.

Pop Into Another Galaxy At Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

In the short walk from Toy Story Land to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you are transported to a galaxy far, far away. Of course, you plan to explore every inch of this otherworldly place, and first up is Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Will you successfully pilot your mission? The future of your vehicle is in your hands.

Congratulations! The mission was a success! Oh, and look what ride is up next – Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance .

You decide the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance might be the one of the best Disney rides you’ve ever been on – and you can’t wait to experience it in person one day.

Between playing Toy Story Mania twice , piloting a mission in Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, and experiencing Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, you’re famished again! There are honestly so many delicious things to eat. Which one do you choose?

Finish Up Your Hollywood Studios Ride Bucket List At Echo Lake

There’s one last land in Hollywood Studios that you need to make a stop at: Echo Lake. To continue the Star Wars theme, you head to Star Tours – The Adventure Continues.

By now, you’re exhausted. How many amazing rides have you been on today? You start to tally but then lose count. You decide to spend the rest of your time in Hollywood Studios watching show after show. Lucky for you, the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular is just about to start!

Indiana Jones battles villains, traverses around traps, and escapes with just seconds to spare, just like in Raiders of the Lost Ark ! But story time isn’t over quite yet, because For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration is about to start!  

https://youtu.be/JFeuOvEiIXM

End The Night With Fantasmic

There’s one last show at Hollywood Studios that you must see: Fantasmic. Watch Mickey’s sorcery come to life with friends from all of your favorite Disney classics, and end it all with a dazzling burst of colorful fireworks.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Virtual Tour

Today’s the day! You’re going to take a Disney virtual tour of the last park: Animal Kingdom. This time, you simply drive up and park at Animal Kingdom. No fancy transportation.

Animal Kingdom tree of life Disney virtual tour

Cross The Bridge To Discovery Island

When you enter the park, you cross through the Oasis and straight to Discovery Island. You stop and watch a few different animals in their habitats, including otters, flamingos, and tamarins. After all, you have to enjoy the animals at Animal Kingdom.

From there, you move on to your next stop. You’re determined to snap a few photos at the iconic Tree of Life. You even pop by the hidden theater just below the Tree of Life for It’s Tough to Be a Bug!

Feel Transported To Pandora – The World of Avatar  

Then, you move on to Pandora – The World of Avatar, because you’re ready for your first ride. You opt for Avatar Flight of Passage, on which you take to the skies on a winged mountain banshee! You’re diving headfirst into the excitement of Animal Kingdom!

After exploring the skies in Avatar Flight of Passage, you then decide to take to the bioluminescent water-filled world of the Na’vi River Journey.

Wow, all this exploring in so little time has made you HUNGRY! Did you remember to eat breakfast today? You can’t remember, so you decide to stop for a tasty snack.

Discover The Land Of Africa

Now that you’ve restocked your energy reserves, you’re now prepared for the long walk over to the Land of Africa. One of the best Animal Kingdom rides is definitely Kilimanjaro Safaris. Why? Because it’s a 20-minute ride filled with real animals! Zebras, lions, and giraffes – oh my!

After riding Kilimanjaro Safaris, you feel like you’ve been transported to the landscape of The Lion King , which is only appropriate considering that the Festival of the Lion King is just about to start! Singalong with your favorite songs from The Lion King , including “Hakuna Matata,” “The Circle of Life,” and “Can You Feel The Love Tonight?”

Cross Over To Asia

After spending some time in Africa, you decide to cross the continental border into Asia. First up on the list: the Maharajah Jungle Trek. There, you see Asian tigers, gibbons, Komodo dragons, lion-tailed macaques, and tons of other cool animals.

Right as you finish up the Mahrajah Jungle Trek, the UP! A Great Bird Adventure is just about to begin. You rush to get a seat and watch colorful birds from all around the world do flips and tricks.

You then decide that you want to ride a couple of thrilling rides, starting with Kali River Rapids. This water ride filled with thrills and drops is amazing, even virtually. (Water balloon fight round 2, anyone?)

The last thing you do in Asia is Expedition Everest, arguably the most thrilling ride at Animal Kingdom. You even catch a glimpse of the elusive Yeti!

Experience DinoLand U.S.A.

There’s just one more land left in Animal Kingdom, and one more activity that you want to experience: the DINOSAUR ride. You are transported back into prehistoric times and get up close and personal with tyrannosaurus rexes, pterodactyls, and raptors.

Finish Off The Night With The Rivers of Light Show

You’ve interacted with animals, ridden thrill rides, and watched amazing shows. Now there’s just one thing to do to finish of your Disney virtual tour at Animal Kingdom: watch the Rivers of Light show.

https://youtu.be/hqyqhIXaoWY

I hope that this Disney virtual tour brought a little bit of joy and Disney magic into your homes. While you can’t always visit the parks for a dose of pixie dust, this Disney virtual tour might be able to do the trick!

Magic Kingdom Rides and Attractions

Welcome to the most popular theme park in the world, Magic Kingdom!

We absolutely *love* this park. No matter how many times we go, we still get goosebumps walking down Main Street, U.S.A.

There is a reason why Magic Kingdom is always at the top of the lists for Most Popular Theme Park in the World , and whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned pro, there’s always something new and exciting to discover here.

In fact, Magic Kingdom has well over 35 rides, attractions, and character meet-and-greet opportunities . But, with so many things to see and do, it can be a bit overwhelming to plan your visit.

In this guide, we’re first going to give you a list of all the available major attractions you’ll find at Magic Kingdom. And don’t worry, if you need additional information, we’ll link off to more detailed descriptions of each.

Next, we are going to give you a brief description about Genie+, including why we recommend it for Magic Kingdom. This is important to understand before you start creating your touring plans.

Then, we’ll dive into the meat and potatoes of this post – the touring plans. You can use them as is or, just use them as a basis to customize a trip that is perfect for you and your traveling companions.

Note: This list only includes characters who offer Genie+. Please refer to our Complete Guide to Characters at Magic Kingdom for the full list of available character meet-and-greet opportunities.

Before we get too far into it, make sure you check out our guide on the Best Rides at Magic Kingdom for information on every attraction and show at Magic Kingdom.

Genie+ basics

If you are already familiar with Genie+ feel free to skip down to the next section. Otherwise, keep reading and we’ll go over a brief overview. If all of this is new to you, though, we recommend you check out some of our other Genie+ resources to help get you all caught up on how this service works.

Disney Genie+ is the new FastPass+ system at Walt Disney World . Like the old FastPass+ system, Genie+ lets you cut the waits at the most popular attractions by allowing you to enter through a special line called a Lightning Lane (bypassing the longer Standby Line).

But, unlike the old FastPass+ system that was free, Genie+ costs extra; it uses a date-based pricing system, with busier times of the year being more expensive.

Currently, Genie+ starts at $15 per ticket , per day (plus tax) but the price has gone all the way up to $39 per ticket . Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to know ahead of time how much Genie+ will cost on the day of your visit. Instead, you will see the price when you go to purchase it inside the My Disney Experience app.

Why we recommend you use Genie+ at Magic Kingdom

The sheer volume of rides and attractions that offer Genie+ at Magic Kingdom makes it an easy park to recommend you purchase Genie+.

Yes, you can tour Magic Kingdom without Genie+. However, if you only have 1 day in the park or if you want to increase the number of rides and attractions you can see or do, we highly recommend you add Genie+ on to your Magic Kingdom day.

Consider also purchasing an Individual Lightning Lane selection

Magic Kingdom currently has 2 Individual Lightning Lane attractions:

  • TRON Lightcycle / Run:  $20
  • Seven Dwarfs Mine Train:  $10-$12

If it is in the budget, purchasing an Individual Lightning Lane for both TRON and Seven Dwarfs can make touring a lot easier.

But, if you are looking to save some money, you can opt to try for a spot in the TRON virtual queue (which is free) and ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train via the Standby Line.

How touring works with Genie+:

If you are purchasing Genie+, you’ll often hear people talking about “stacking” and “churning”.

The reality is that on most days – no matter how busy it is – you’ll find yourself doing both .

You’ll see what that looks like in the touring plans we have provided below , but keep reading to learn what stacking and churning actually mean .

Stacking simply means prioritizing the grouping of Genie+ reservations together for later in the day when the standby lines are the longest.

Some people like to stack for late morning or early afternoon, but you can also stack reservations for the evening. Stacking works well if you are planning to spend all day in 1 park, but it is also a popular technique to use if you are planning a late start or if you are hopping to a different park.

Stacking Genie+ reservations works best during less busy times of the year, when Genie+ reservations at most attractions last the longest.

This includes anytime Genie+ can be purchased for less than about $25 per person, per day.

Here’s how stacking Genie+ reservations works:

  • At 7 a.m., book an attraction that runs out of Genie+ reservations the fastest, regardless of what that return time is. You can see what we recommend in the graphic above.
  • Use Early Entry to ride at least 1 of the available popular attractions (onsite guests only)
  • Plan to ride several things in the first couple of hours without Genie+, unless, of course, your first Genie+ return time is during those first 2 hours. If it is, ride it as soon as possible, and then select your next G+ for an attraction that has the return time already pushed into the time of day you are trying to stack for. (Early afternoon until evening works best.) The goal is to stack your Genie+ reservations back-to-back. They can overlap, just make sure you allow enough time to get from one attraction to the next.
  • As the standby lines build, ride some of the “anytime” attractions listed in the graphic above or meet characters and continue selecting Genie+ reservations with return times as close to your already stacked Genie+ reservations as possible.
  • When the time comes, start using your stacked Genie+ reservations, keeping in mind that it may be possible to fill any gaps by churning attractions with Genie+ reservations remaining.

Churning simply means focusing on snagging Genie+ reservations as close together as possible. You should still prioritize the most popular attractions, but your primary focus is selecting rides with return times as close as possible to the current time, vs. stacking them up for later in the day.

Churning Genie+ reservations works best during the busiest times of the year, when Genie+ reservations run out at all attractions faster and when the lines for even the least popular rides are long.

This includes all major holidays and anytime Genie+ prices creep up over $25-$30 per person, per day.

Here’s how churning works:

  • At 7 a.m., book an attraction with a return time as close to park opening as possible
  • Use Early Entry to ride at least 1 of the recommended attractions (onsite guests only)
  • Continue selecting Genie+ reservations with return times as close to the current time as possible, filling in gaps by riding “anytime” attractions or meeting characters
  • Eventually, you may find that all return times are pushed several hours out. Make sure to prioritize your must-dos and begin stacking return times for later in the day.
  • Keep an eye on the wait times for popular attractions you were unable to get a Genie+ reservation for, and jump in those lines once they drop to an acceptable level.

IMPORTANT : We’ve included example return times for G+ reservations in the touring plans below, but, keep in mind that you can NOT select your return times for Genie+ . Depending on the time you make your selections and the overall crowd levels, your return times may be earlier or later.

For that reason, you’ll need to stay flexible when you get to the parks and be ready to pivot or adjust your touring plan on the fly.

Early Entry at Magic Kingdom (Arrive before park opening)

Early Entry at Magic Kingdom can be a bit chaotic, especially when compared to the other 3 parks, where things tend to be more organized.

But, even though Early Entry at Magic Kingdom can be incredibly stressful, it is still a must-do if you want to maximize your day.

At Magic Kingdom, there are 3 attractions we recommend you head towards if planning to attend Early Entry:

  • Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
  • Peter Pan’s Flight
  • Space Mountain

Which one you should choose will ultimately depend upon how you plan to spend the rest of your day touring. Make sure to review the information below for our thoughts on that, and definitely check out our Complete Guide to Early Entry and Rope Drop at Magic Kingdom for more tips and strategy.

How to get to Magic Kingdom for Early Entry

Here’s our advice on what time you should be heading to the parks based upon how you plan to get there. If your goal is to be at the very, very front, we recommend you err on the side of following the earlier times listed:

While we used to recommend arriving at the bus stop 60 to 75 minutes before Early Entry begins, after testing the timing out many times, we now recommend 90 minutes. That 90-minute window is especially important if you:

  • want to be on the first bus (which we recommend), or
  • if you are staying at a large resort like Art of Animation, Pop Century, or the All-Stars, or
  • if you are staying at a resort with multiple internal stops, like Caribbean Beach or Coronado Springs.

Expect the first bus of the day to arrive between 1 hour to 75 minutes before Early Theme Park Entry starts . The goal is to be on the first bus of the day, and the lines for the buses will get very long, very fast. Arriving 90 minutes before Early Theme Park Entry will get you to the front of the pack, and likely on that first bus.

Plan to get to your monorail stop about 60-75 minutes before Early Theme Park Entry. For reference, the Resort Monorail Loop goes:

  • Transportation and Ticket Center
  • Polynesian Resort
  • Grand Floridian Resort
  • Magic Kingdom
  • Contemporary Resort

When traveling by car, plan to arrive at the parking lot entrance about 70 minutes before Early Theme Park Entry. If the parking lot booths are not open at that time, you should be able to just wait for them to officially open up. But, don’t show up too early because they may not let you wait for the booths to open and instead will force you to turn around and come back closer to opening.

  • Read more about Parking at Disney World

Important note: The Magic Kingdom parking lot will often open up a bit earlier, sometimes closer to 90 minutes before Early Entry begins.

If traveling by boat, 60-75 minutes before Early Theme Park Entry is probably good.

Walking? You’ll have it the easiest!

Guests that walk are typically allowed to line up at the tapstiles around 60 minutes before the park opens for Early Theme Park Entry. If you want to be at the front of the pack of the walkers, plan to arrive ahead of that. (If you arrive before they begin allowing people to line up at the tapstiles, you’ll be held back by security.)

Important things to know about touring Magic Kingdom

  • Magic Kingdom has the most attractions of any park. You can see and do a lot in 1 day, but for an even  more   relaxed experience, 2 days will be better.
  • This is also a great park for Genie+, and if it is in your budget, we definitely recommend you purchase it.
  • Magic Kingdom Genie+ Priorities (book these first!)

Magic Kingdom Genie Plus Priorities graphic

  • Remember that if you plan to drive to Magic Kingdom, you’ll need to allow extra time to make your way over from the Transportation and Ticket Center to the front of the park.
  • Some attractions at Magic Kingdom have height requirements . If you are traveling with little ones, make sure you take advantage of Rider Switch .

Magic Kingdom touring plans

Plan to spend more than 1 day at Magic Kingdom.

If time allows, you will probably want to spend 2 days at Magic Kingdom theme park (maybe even 2.5 days).

We like to organize touring plans by hour because minute-by-minute touring plans can make you feel like you’re running from place to place without any flexibility, but grouping them by hour can at least give you some sense of timing as you plan.

Remember, though:

These plans are just examples of how to put together your day. Because of the uncertainty of return times with Genie+, you may find your day going a little bit differently – and that is okay!

Here are some example Magic Kingdom touring plans.

General 2-Day Magic Kingdom Touring Plan Day 1:

7:00 a.m. Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane recommendations:

  • 1st Genie+ Reservation: Jungle Cruise
  • Optional Individual Lightning Lane Pass: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (aim for late morning)
  • Optional Virtual Queue AND/OR Individual Lightning Lane Pass: TRON Lightcycle / Run (aim for evening, so you can ride at night)

As soon as your next booking window is open, book the following Genie+ reservations in this order:

  • Big Thunder
  • Pirates of the Caribbean

Good Genie+ Options for Later in the Day

Depending on your return times for your first 3 Genie+ reservations, you may have time later in the day to book some additional passes. These Genie+ passes are often available until later in the afternoon or evening, and are all good options if you have time or room in your day to use them.

Note: Some of the attractions below are already a part of this 2-Day Touring Plan, so only select them if you weren’t able to ride them during the recommended time OR if you’d like a 2nd ride with minimal waits.
