There are several attractions and experiences that children love at Magic Kingdom. Between the shows, rides, and shops, you and your family are sure to have a magical vacation. If you are traveling to Disney World with your family then be sure to check out these 5 must-do’s for children at Magic Kingdom.
1. Character Dining at Crystal Palace or Cinderella’s Royal Table
One of my favorite things to do with my kids is character dining. Magic Kingdom has two great character dining options that are perfect for your little ones. Crystal Palace is an all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guests are joined by Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet during this charming and cute dining experience. Guests can enjoy carved meats, mac ‘n’ cheese, mashed potatoes, seafood, and more while they are greeted by their favorite characters from the Hundred Acre Wood.
Cinderella’s Royal Table is another character dining experience serving breakfast, lunch, or dinner that is perfect for the Disney princess in your family. Cinderella, along with some of her princess friends, greet you as you dine on a royal meal. Guests can expect entrees like grilled filet mignon for dinner, and banana-stuffed French Toast for breakfast.
2. Dumbo the Flying Elephant
This classic Disney attraction is perfect for children of all ages. Dumbo the Flying Elephant is a gentle attraction during which Dumbo takes flight. Guests can choose how high they wish to soar for this experience. This attraction is unique because of its standby queue. Guests can enter a circus-themed playground and play until it is their turn to board the attraction. Overall, the entire experience makes it a must-do for children!
3. Meet Mickey at Town Square Theater
What trip to Magic Kingdom is complete without meeting Mickey Mouse? Guests can meet Mickey at Town Square Theater, which is located near the park’s entrance. Meeting the mouse himself is a must-do for any child!
4. Festival of Fantasy Parade
One great opportunity for your child to see all of their favorite characters in one place is through viewing the Festival of Fantasy Parade. This parade currently runs at 12pm and 3pm, and guests can line up from Frontierland to Main Street to catch a glimpse of their favorite Disney characters. Festival of Fantasy Parade allows guests to see characters like Anna, Elsa, Tiana, Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Donald, Peter Pan, Belle, Rapunzel, and more.
5. Enchanted Tales with Belle
This attraction is a unique opportunity for your child to join in on the show! Guests can watch and listen as Belle retells her classic fairytale story, and invites the children of the audience to play along. This attraction is great because it invites kids to play and use their imagination, and entertains the adults as well.
