The Magic Kingdom was the first theme park at Walt Disney World. All Disney World theme parks are open 365 days a year, although opening time or closing time for each park is different. If you are travelling without kids, try to visit it on a school day to avoid large crowds on weekends or during a school vacation. If you have to visit it during a school vacation, try at least to avoid the week between Christmas and New Year's Day.
If you are not staying at a Disney World hotel, avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours days. This is because Disney's hotel guests can get into the park first on those days, which can prolong the wait of other visitors, even if they arrive at the Magic Kingdom's normal opening time.
Buy your Walt Disney World tickets online at Disney World's website. For advice on picking the right ticket, see the guide to Disney World tickets.
You will also need to call in advance to make lunch or dinner reservations(预订). Disney accepts reservations, through 1-407-WDW-DINE, up to 180 days in advance. Time does go quickly, so you should call six months before your trip to make lunch or dinner reservations in the castle. We recommend you should have your meals at Cinderella's Royal Table.
Plan to arrive at the Magic Kingdom's front gate before the park opens in the morning. You can check the Magic Kingdom's opening time through the Disney World's website.
Keep in mind that to reach the Magic Kingdom, you must park at the Disney World's Transport and Ticket Centre parking lot, ride in a tram(有轨电车) to the TTC, then take a boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom. It makes for a dramatic approach, but takes extra time. Give yourself an extra hour in the summer!
