From here, you can grab one of the two iconic forms of Disney transportation — the monorail or the ferry boat — and make your way across Seven Seas Lagoon. However, there’s another way you can get to Magic Kingdom that people tend to sleeping on.

Disney World might be the Most Magical Place on Earth, but not all of its parks are created equal, particularly when it comes to park hours.
Magic Kingdom

So, which park wins with the longest operating hours, giving you the most time to spend there and thus the best value for your money?
