Magic Kingdom is geared up towards smaller children, but there’s no shortage of things for older kids and adults to do either.
It’s not so big on the scary ride factor, but Magic Kingdom really isn’t geared up to thrill rides. It’s all about the atmosphere and experience. And, of course, it’s sprinkled with Pixie Dust. It’s where the magic happens!
If you are using Uber/Lyft, make sure to get dropped off at the Ticket and Transportation Center (7 minutes from our place).

One of the most controversial Orlando theme parks, SeaWorld has come under attack in recent years and has consequently shifted focus.

If swimming with dolphins is on your bucket list, then Discovery Cove is one of the Orlando theme parks that has to make your must do list.
