When is the best time to visit?This is a common question to consider before visiting a theme park. At weekends, school holidays and US national holidays they can be swamped, which of course means long lines and less fun for your time and money.
Although the summer months are the most hot and humid, they can still be really busy because kids are off school and it's a popular family vacation time for families in Europe. June, July and August are HOT with thundery showers almost daily!
Here's a FREE handy tool to check individual days throughout the year
Disney World - Avoid the Lines Disney World Theme Parks: Disney's Magic KingdomThis is the most visited Disney theme park. Without a doubt the Magic Kingdom is the ultimate theme park, with which no visit to Orlando would be complete without! The park comprises of five main districts that are themed around some of the most famous Disney characters and movies. These five districts meet at Main St USA and at the foot of the iconic Cinderella’s castle. Look out for all your favorite Toon Town characters like Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Daffy. You will also meet many other Disney favorites such as Ariel, Cinderella, Buzz Lightyear and Jungle Book characters.
Disney's Magic Kingdom is without a doubt the most popular attraction for families because it appeals to all ages. It has rides that the whole family can enjoy together such as Splash Mountain, Jungle Cruise and the Haunted Mansion. Plus there's all the parades and nightime fireworks displays!
