    9 Things You May Not Expect When Visiting Magic Kingdom

    If you’ve never been to Magic Kingdom, you probably have a lot to learn. After all, this is an enormous park, and even those of us who have been visiting for years don't know all there is to know. Still, we do our best to keep up with the constant changes, because being in the know is what helps make park visits enjoyable. Are you looking to learn as much as you can in order to make your trip as m

    9 Things You May Not Expect When Visiting Magic Kingdom

    9. A Commute If you’re driving to the parks, the first thing you’ll notice after parking for your day at the Magic Kingdom is that you aren’t actually at the Magic Kingdom. In fact, the park is still a couple of miles away and must be reached by monorail or ferry boat. Keep this in mind when planning your arrival time, as this parking system does make getting into the park more difficult for sure.

    8. The Need for a Plan You have probably read about the importance of heading into the Disney parks with a game plan. However, the importance of this plan may not hit you until you see the massive size of the Magic Kingdom and the length of many of their lines. Do yourself a favor and take the planning seriously now so you don’t regret it later when you’re wishing you had a FastPass for Seven Dwar

    8 Experiences You’ll Love in Epcot After Dark

    8. Walk Around the World Showcase Epcot's World Showcase is a wonderful place to explore no matter at any time of day, but there are certain pavilions around the lagoon that become even more magical at night. Some of the best countries to see after dark (in no particular order) are France, Italy, Japan, and Mexico. These are especially great places to go on a romantic date with that special someon

    8 Experiences You’ll Love in Epcot After Dark

    7. Watch the Fountain of Nations The impressive Fountain of Nations—located at the heart of Future World near Spaceship Earth—is one of those things it seems like few people ever stop to really watch. Which is a shame really, because it puts on quite the show from time to time if you care enough to pay attention (especially if you're listening to the music cues in the area). It's certainly fun to

    A group of people are riding a yellow and black roller coaster with expressions of excitement and joy. The coaster is pictured on an incline with the track curving in the background. Trees and a sunny sky can be seen behind the track.

    8 Experiences You’ll Love in Epcot After Dark

    6. Ride Test Track Most of the Test Track ride takes place indoors, but the most exciting portion of this attraction comes at the end, when you're sent rocketing along a curved track at 65 miles per hour. For some reason we can't quite put our finger on, the experience becomes even more thrilling at night. Maybe it's a heightened instinctual sense that we're not in control of the vehicle when it's

    5. Living with the Land There's not a lot about the Living with the Land ride that gets affected by the time of day, but the portion of it where you travel through their four working greenhouses just has this whole different vibe at night. It almost makes it feel more like an exclusive tour of the place, as though you're not even supposed to be in there except you know a guy who knows a guy.

    4. Watch IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth Of course, this list wouldn't be complete without mentioning Epcot's nighttime spectacular, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. Even as seasoned Disney World veterans, no matter how many times we watch this show—which can be viewed from pretty much anywhere around the World Showcase lagoon—it always manages to tug on our heartstrings a little. It's a b

    8 Experiences You’ll Love in Epcot After Dark

    3. Get a Photo of Spaceship Earth The ol' “golf ball” centerpiece that practically defines Epcot in the minds of visitors always makes for a great subject and/or backdrop for photos, but especially so at night. This is because it lights up in a multitude of colors and will often have messages or images “drawn” on the side of it with lasers. It's definitely worth photographi
