Things are BUSY in Disney World right now
Although crowds and wait times have really depended on whether there was a holiday or special event that week, now we’ve seen a HUGE jump in the wait times along with spring break crowds! This comes right before the soft opening (and official opening) of TRON Lightcycle / Run, the grand opening of Roundup Rodeo BBQ, and so much more.
Staying at a Disneyland hotel comes with a lot of great perks. First, you can stay in a hotel with LOADS of Disney theming, and you may never have to leave the “Disney bubble” during your trip.
Disneyland Hotel Lobby
You can also get Early Theme Park Entry into the parks if you’re staying at an onsite resort. “Hey Disney!” — the voice assistant that works alongside Alexa on Amazon Echo devices — will also be coming to Disneyland hotels soon. Now, Disney has revealed even MORE perks including yoga in one of the most scenic places in Disneyland!
It’s spring break season and there is a lot happening at Disney World!
Crowds
The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing, there are new treats to try, the 50th anniversary is ending soon, and TRON Lightcycle / Run is opening in less than a month! So with all of this excitement and the spring break crowds heading to the parks, what do the wait times look like right now?
Magic Kingdom is Walt Disney World’s crowning jewel. It’s the quintessential theme park featuring memorable rides. If you are a returning guest, I bet you still remember your first visit!
Designed with six lands extending from a central hub, families spend their time traversing between Main Street U.S.A., Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Liberty Square, Frontierland, and Adventureland. Part of the immense appeal of Magic Kingdom is the detailed theming of each area. Many attractions have multi-generational appeal, and most rides are absolutely well-suited to adults.
Cinderella Castle
Still, we have our favorite rides and want to share them with you. Breaking our recommendations into four categories, let’s take a look at the attractions that grown-ups should not miss when touring Magic Kingdom. Get your comfy walking shoes on as we’ll be traversing the park… let’s go!

When is the BEST time to go to Disney World?!
Cinderella Castle
Well, that answer totally depends on YOU. Do you want to avoid crowds at all costs? Don’t visit during summer or spring break. Do you want to be in the crowds on the opening day of TRON Lightcycle / Run? Prepare for busy parks. If you are someone who is seeking lower crowds and wait times on a Disney World trip, right now might be the best time to visit Disney World!
For many, Magic Kingdom is the epicenter of Disney World. Plenty of the resort’s most recognizable attractions are located in this park!
Cinderella Castle
From family-friendly rides like Mad Tea Party to thrills like Space Mountain, Magic Kingdom has a little something for everyone. It’s also the most popular park at Disney World, and even the lesser-known attractions can rack up long wait times. If you’re trying to hit every one on your wish list you may want to take advantage of Disney’s Genie+ service and use Lightning Lanes!
If you were hoping to visit Disney World during the slow season, you’ve officially missed out.
It’s almost EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival time!
Although crowds and wait times have really depended on whether there was a holiday or special event that week, now we’ve seen a HUGE jump in the wait times! This comes right before March which kicks off spring break season, the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, more TRON previews, and more.
Every once in a while, Disney likes to give its rides a little enhancing “pizazz.”
Space Mountain
We’ve seen it when 4-D attractions get a little refurb and suddenly the screen is clearer, or when new animatronics get added in to make things fresher. Sometimes Disney will even completely change or update rides to fit more with the times and the current tech. But recently, they added a new little detail in a Magic Kingdom ride that doesn’t change much, but made our wait in line just a tad more interesting!
