Magic Kingdom Attractions That Feel Like a Break



A day at Disney World can easily become tiring. Walking long distances, the Florida sun, and getting up early can all take a toll on the body. Guests visiting the Disney parks might find themselves looking for places to sit and rest, and taking every opportunity available to them in order to do so. But taking a break at Disney World doesn’t have to mean pausing the fun. There are several attractions that guests can utilize for a break while still keeping the magic going. Here are a few of our favorite attractions at Magic Kingdom that feel like a break.

Carousel of Progress

Catch this classic while you still can! Carousel of Progress will soon be updated to an all-new show. The classic version of this attraction follows the average American family through the early 20th century as they experience progress in real time. This 20-minute-long show is indoors, dim, and air-conditioned. Perfect for taking a break from your busy Disney day!

The Hall Of Presidents

This attraction can be quite restful! The Hall of Presidents was a passion project by Walt Disney himself because of his love of patriotism. Featuring an animatronic for every president in the history of the country, this attraction is educational, interesting, and offers a great break from the heat of the parks.
