Day 1
Before you can fly you’re going to need a little pixie dust, so it’s always a safe bet to start off with the Magic Kingdom. You’re likely energized and ready to go, which is a necessity for this Park.
Breakfast: Before you get to Magic Kingdom though, consider the Supercalifragalistic Character Breakfast at the Grand Floridian. Not only is this just an unbelievably beautiful hotel, but this character breakfast is not quite as crowded and it’s reasonable priced. The Magic Kingdom is just a monorail ride away, which is must on any Disney vacation. Check! Check!
Side Tip: You should already have your fast passes squared away, and at least an idea of your family’s “must see” attractions. Go ahead and jump in the fun! Consider making your first two fastpasses rather close together in time and distance. Give yourself a break to ride other rides in between your third fastpass, and then pull out the old reliable My Disney Experience app to grab a fourth fast pass once you’ve finished your third.
Lunch: There are too many great quick stops for food and snacks in the Magic Kingdom, so lunch should be a simple endeavor.
Side tip: Even though you may want to stop and watch that Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade, it may be wise to skip it on this trip, or even to be far away from it altogether. Don’t be upset, you’re going to make up for it in a BIG way. Keep reading…
Dinner: That breakfast feels like it was days ago! So, if there’s one restaurant that would be most practical for a family with only one night and one dinner in Magic Kingdom its Tony’s. Why? The Main Street Electrical Parade, of course! Book your reservations well in advance and try to time it about two hours before the parade begins. Enjoy this lovely parade passing by your window or even your veranda seat as you finish up a delicious bowl of spaghetti. Of course, there are other great options for dinner in Magic Kingdom!
