Disney Magic Kingdom Theme Park Fantasyland Little Mermaid Ride

The 7 BEST Rides at the Magic Kingdom for Every Type of Disney Fan!

Are you looking for the best rides at Disney’s Magic Kingdom that you absolutely can’t miss on your trip?

No worries, you’re in the right place!

The Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World is one of the most visited theme parks in the entire world. With that can come long lines to get on attractions.

While the urge to try to do everything at Magic Kingdom in one day can be strong, I highly recommend not doing that.

There’s so much to do at the park that it simply cannot be done in one day.

Instead, try hitting some of the top attractions in one day, then going back a second day to get on and experience everything else.

If I only had one day at Magic Kingdom, the following seven attractions are the ones I would want to ride and suggest that you do too!
