5. Get a picture in front of the castle I don’t care how many times you go to Magic Kingdom—you can’t go without taking at least one picture in front of the castle!

4. Get a dole whip float When people talk about Disney World snacks, this is always at the top of the list. The dole whip float is only available at Magic Kingdom, making it a popular snack.

3. Dine in the park While there are plenty of great quick service locations, there are some wonderful table service locations as well. If you can swing it, I would highly suggest making a reservation at one of the restaurants. My personal favorite is Be Our Guest, which is still the hardest reservation to get on property. However, Cinderella’s Royal ...

2. Make a wish in the wishing well This is another thing that I always do during my visit to Magic Kingdom because as I said before, I believe in the power of wishes!
