The Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom captures the essence of classic Disney fairy tales and imagination. As the flagship Park of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, it offers a nostalgic and immersive experience for visitors of all ages. With more attractions than any other Disney Park, it can be challenging to see and do it all, even with extra magic hours, Disney Genie, Lightning Lane passes, and attending the infamous rope drops. As such, every little bit of time helps when enjoying each theme Park–especially if you’re from out of town and/or visit Orlando infrequently. Thankfully, Disney World has added an extra hour to the Magic Kingdom’s operating hours for Memorial Day week.

In addition, it also provides Guests with the world of Star Wars at Galaxy’s Edge, where you can pilot the Millennium Falcon and engage in epic battles between the Resistance and the First Order. It also contains Toy Story Land, where you can shrink to the size of a toy and join Woody, Buzz, and the gang for exciting adventures. Just as with the Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World is adding an extra hour to the operating schedule during the week of Memorial Day.
