    Very excited to see Daisy.
    Dani J.

    It's so exciting to see and co Practically it's not even close to the most exciting thing to see at Disney. I am Disney spoiled so my friends and family get more excited than I do when they see the castle because they haven't seen it as much as I have and I guess I take it for granted. I do enjoy being able to walk through Sleeping Beauty castle in Disneyland but here you get a restaurant so I guess it's all fair. I did get super excited to see the show from the side view where there's usually less of a crowd.

    Cinderella Castle is one of my favorite attractions at Disneyland and Disney World. Cinderella Castle at Disney World is located in the Magic Kingdom. It was inspired by the castle in Cinderella! As you walk through the castle, you'll see handcrafted glass mosaics that tell the classic story of Cinderella. You can also book through the Disney World application a restaurant reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table. It's a pre-fix menu and a character dining experience! You'll need to book in advance for the dinner reservation, though! The Cinderella castle is a 189-food feature in Magic Kingdom! It's surrounded by a moat with lawns and gardens! There is a similar layout in Disneyland in California and Disneyland Paris. There's a show that plays in front of Cinderella's Castle, Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire. You can view showtimes on the Disney World mobile application! I was also here for the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween during 2023. They had the Sanderson sisters with a lot of the Disney villain characters pre-show prior to the parade! During the fireworks, there was also a show of Jack Skeleton, too, in front of Cinderella's Castle!

    A great day was had by our small group at Disney World today. Some food was good, some blah and some was no thanks.

    A classic landmark of Disneyworld, I absolutely love being able to walk through Magic Kingdom and catch glimpses of it throughout the park. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't that traditional white/gray color I remembered from when I was a child, but rather the light pink color to celebrate the 50th anniversary, but it was still a beautiful sight to behold no matter what! I would highly recommend walking *through* the castle. There's a path up to the castle and an archway/tunnel underneath that you can walk through as almost a shortcut to Fantasyland area / Prince Charming's carousel. So it both saves you time from walking around it and also has some pretty special mosaics within the tunnel that you can appreciate - absolutely stunning!

    The Castle is what you see looking up Main Street when you enter the park, and it's an iconic piece. If you want to walk through it, do it FIRST when you get there in the AM, otherwise, you may not get the opportunity to do so as it becomes a place where they stage shows throughout the day. There are some cool tile murals inside the main corridor. It also has a not-so-secret hotel room which I'm not quite sure how you're able to stay here and if you'd even want to (unless the Minnie-fridge is hooked up). For most people, this attraction is a backdrop for amaze-balls photos and a landmark for Main Street so at the end of the day, you can walk another mile or two to your vehicle or shuttle bus.

    Cinderella castle is the iconic logo and backdrop for Disney world's magic kingdom. Forever the most popular photo op at the Disney parks. You are greeted by the massive castle while making your entrance down Main Street. The castle is the center point for the whole park and can be views while walking around or under it. They do host some Restaurants and Character greets inside the castle for reservations and high prices. Then nightly show at closing is always performed right in front of the castle as well. Overall a classic staple of Disney world parks and a perfect photo op for people visiting.

    Cinderella Castle is the iconic hub of the Magic Kingdom. It is the location for more photographs than any other place in the park. The castle lights up at night for the evening fireworks display. It is currently decorated for Disney's 50th anniversary celebration. The castle itself is currently not accessible from the front but you can enter from the back. Inside you will see murals relating to the Cinderella story. It is also home to Cinderella's royal table restaurant which is much in demand for families with small children. Try taking photos off to the side of the castle for more interesting views. Photopass photographers are there as well and they can combine "magic shots" to make your pictures more interesting. They have another "frill" now where for $10.00 you can superimpose your picture anywhere on the castle. Every night Tinkerbell flies from the castle signifying the start of the evening fireworks. The castle is a place "where dreams come true"

    The aesthetic and experience made it worth it but overall, pretty pricey. The steak was delicious. The fish was horrible and tough and not tasty. The chicken with pesto pasta was yummy but a bit salty. The desserts were nice. Not a fan of cheesecake and this place didn't change my mind about that. The lemon sorbet was super sour! Some people who like that flavor might like it. The chocolate everything was done well. We also got the Mickey Mouse birthday cake for $40 and it was tasty but so big and we barely ate it haha

    Cinderella's Castle is the spot when you think of Walt Disney World. Have you even been to Disney if you don't have a photo in front of the castle???? It's beautiful to walk through and is the location for shows throughout the day including the nighttime fireworks. Tinker bell flies in before they begin. If you're looking to watch the fireworks in front of the castle make sure you're there early to grab a spot because it gets packed. Off to the right side is Cinderella's wishing well which is also a great place for photos with the castle in the background. There are also a couple benches so you can sit for a minute of quiet.

    BOOK the "capture your moment" at Cinderella's Castle we recommend our photopass photogragher: Brittany it's a 20 minute photo session with Disney's photopass cast member I showed Brittany what we were kind of wanting with some Pinterest photos. We wanted photos by the wishing well and overall the side of the castle. We didn't want people in our photos so Brittany recommend the side of the castle instead of right in front because there were going to be a lot of guest in the background. We booked a 20 min session I wasn't sure if it was going to be enough time between two couples. I wanted some cute pictures for some save the dates and my cousin wanted Engagement photos. Brittany did an amazing job and I couldn't ask for better photos. She knew what she was doing and I love that Disney offer this to guest. It very worth it if you want some photos done. Honestly we had some poses in our mind but once we blanked Brittany helped us with some poses for our photos. She was very good and quick with our photos. Our pictures came out amazing and I highly recommend doing this if you're in Walt Disney World.

    Gorgeous show

    I've gone many times to Magic Kingdom and I've never been inside the castle or actually seen the night show with fireworks. We decided to stay and watch the show and OMG was it totally worth it. To be honest that must have been my favorite part of our entire Disney Trip. The way the park gets completely and utterly dark while the animation of ALL or at least most of the Disney Characters appears and tell a story all in the matter of 15 minutes with fireworks to match each story is truly magical. You don't have to be a child to enjoy this, everyone will. Next time you're at Magic Kingdom take the time to just enjoy the castle and if you stay until 9:15 enjoy the show. Worth staying for and watching.

    I mean, it's disney and the iconic castle. You have to see it when at the magic kingdom. Stick around for the firework show, it is incredible

There are water features and it's a really cool retreat from some of the summer heat or the hotter days in fall or spring. Overall, the ride itself is smooth. It's a good transition. I will say that when for whatever reason they do have to stop the ride. If you are in the under the C-section of the song area, it can get a little bit loud for Littles and frankly for adults too, if you are sound sensitive. I wholly recommend this as a wonderful attraction and ride for all ages.

    Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid is OK. Ariel looks weird, mainly in the face…read more While I still enjoyed this ride and thought it was fun, the overall quality of the animatronics was a step below most other rides at Disney World. I thought maybe that was because this ride opened around the same time as the movie in 1989. However, I was a bit surprised to learn after the fact that this ride actually opened 23 years after the movie, in late 2012. On the ride, you board clamshells that take you on an adventure under the sea. Pretty much all the characters from the movie make an appearance and the ride is filled with Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's popular songs like "Part of Your World," "Under the Sea," "Poor Unfortunate Souls," and "Kiss the Girl." The "Under the Sea" song and dance segment is bright and colorful. It reminds me of going to E.T.'s planet in the E.T. Adventure ride at Universal Studios. It's a festive party; both rides have that neon-colored, crowded "creature party" aesthetic. During our visit, the animatronic Ariel in this section was broken and inanimate. Kind of funny and creepy. During the "Kiss the Girl" segment, the plastic water coming out of the fishes' mouths didn't look great. It added to the overall sort of "knock-off" and kitschy look of the ride. Also, right before the end of the final scene with King Triton and the wedding of Ariel and Eric, the ride stopped on us. So, I was able to get a good, long look at the different animatronics and scenery. Finally, I thought the transitions between the high-quality video and the actual practical physical ride props were a bit jarring. Other rides do it better like, for example, the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros at EPCOT. We had Lightning Lane passes at around 1:47 PM on a non-holiday Monday and experienced no line and no wait.

This is an incredibly popular and all-time classic ride, not just at Disney theme parks, but in the amusement park industry. It spawned a multi-billion dollar movie franchise, after all. At Disney, Universal, etc., I love the old-school rides with animatronics and practical special effects. They have a certain charm about them. The Disney World version of this ride opened at Magic Kingdom, in Adventureland, on December 15, 1973. The original version opened at Disneyland on March 18, 1967. I rode one or both of these versions when I was a kid back in 1989-1990. I think I enjoyed the ride more as an adult. Two other versions of this ride exist in Tokyo and Paris, making four total. A variation exists in Shanghai, but is different. The setting, the story, and of course, the music (from 1967) are whimsical and a lot of fun. "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me." In 2006, the ride was refurbished to incorporate characters from the film series that started in 2003, most notably with appearances from Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow. The ride has a distinct smell caused by bromine, which Disney uses to treat the water instead of chlorine. It's become such a signature part of the "practical effect" charm that you can actually buy candles that smell like "Pirate Water." You might get a few little splashes of water on you and there's one small dip during the ride. We had Lightning Lane passes for this ride just before noon on a non-holiday Monday. We experienced little to no wait.

Rapunzel's tower from Tangled is very cool to see from an up close perspective! It felt like you were in the movie! The tower is not accessible for entry, however, the outside of the tower has been detailed extremely well. The tower appears as though it could have easily come right out of the film. At daylight hours, the tower is quite nice. However, when evening arrives with lights like the lanterns from the movie, the entire atmosphere changes and becomes much more immersive! Although this area contains themed restrooms, there is no indication that they are bathrooms! This is not your average restroom stop in Magic Kingdom though! There are details throughout the area including Pascal hiding within some of the design elements, wanted posters of Flynn Rider and many other small details to give off the idea that this is essentially a mini Tangled town. I was happy about this being a slightly less crowded area of Fantasyland as well. It is nice to be able to step back and stop for a moment to capture some photos and take a quick rest from the crowds. Unlike many of the rides surrounding this area, there isn't always a huge crowd of people here! It is definitely worth stopping by especially at night. There are so much details to Rapunzel's tower!

Many many years ago there was a sky way gondola ride that went from Tomorrowland to Fantasyland...basically from Carousel of Progress to It's a Small World. The area that is now the village & tower (AKA Bathrooms) are now located where the abandoned Fantasyland station closed and was disguised by trees for at least 15 years. Now, to save the day and turn this area that became a stroller parking lot, no seriously...it was a parking lot of strollers w/ an attendant, I kid you not. This area became very narrow and there are nowhere near enough bathrooms at WDW in general, but that's a whole other topic. Point being is that they knocked down that old building and cleared way for increased traffic flow, added toilet facilities AND add additional theming to Fantasyland expansion. Originally it's said that the tower was going not be to be forced perspective, but rather a "real life" full size tower. The execution of the overall area is really done just how you would expect it to be: perfectly themed and artistically on point. I love the wanted posters and if you look for an employee doorway at to the right of the ladies room you'll find a very serious Maximus greeting you! I love it. Why not 5 stars? Well, because it's bathrooms and planters and a cool tower. If there was a bit more use for the area, other than 1 and 2, then it would be five star with an attraction, show or character meet & greet area. I really do like this addition. Rapunzel was a big movie with my girls when they were younger and Ive a soft heart for it. Its a cool area that I look forward to seeing develop over the next few years.

Doesn't matter if it's rope drop, midnight, or during a hurricane--you're looking at 60 minutes minimum. This is the only ride where the wait time is longer than Peter's attention span. You'll stand there for an hour for a ride that lasts three minutes, and you'll still walk out smiling like a fool. A little history flex: Peter Pan's Flight was one of Disneyland's original 1955 rides, imported to Disney World in 1971. Back then, Imagineers wanted you to "be" Peter Pan, which is why Peter wasn't even in the ride originally. Guests were confused, so they added him later. Translation: people waited an hour just to wonder where the main character was. The line is longer than Wendy's bedtime story. Peter Pan's Flight is short, simple, and still one of the most magical rides in Disney history. The line is brutal, the payoff is quick, but the memory sticks with you forever. Because in the end, everyone grows up--except this ride, and that's exactly why we love it.

    I really enjoyed the Tomorrowland Transit Authority (TTA) PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom at Disney…read moreWorld. It's a relaxing ride that takes you on a tour of Tomorrowland with elevated views. The ride goes inside and out--you'll go through Space Mountain and also see Cinderella Castle, the Tomorrowland Speedway, and the retro-futuristic Astro Orbiter (to name a few attractions). I love the 1920s and 30s pulp science fiction and 1960s Space Age look (Googie architecture) of Tomorrowland. The PeopleMover at Magic Kingdom opened in 1975 (four years after the park opened) and includes a model of Progress City, Walt Disney's vision for EPCOT in the 1960s. The PeopleMover actually stopped on us when we were next to the diorama of Progress City, so I got to look at it for a while. I found the seats in the vehicles to be quite comfortable with good lower back support. There was no Lightning Lane for the PeopleMover. On a non-holiday Monday around 4:00 PM, the line was long. We waited about 10-15 minutes, which felt like a long time since we had been using Lightning Lanes for most of our recent trip to Disney World. This is the only Disney PeopleMover still in operation. I hope it never closes. The PeopleMover in Tomorrowland at Disneyland (California) opened in 1967 and closed in 1995.

    The peoplemover is a nice way to get an overall view of Tomorrowland. It was originally created as…read morea concept for how Walt Disney envisioned people using various public transit types to move around a city. The continuous moving loading and unloading platform can be slowed to accommodate people with some movement challenges. It is not uncommon for the ride to shut down at times for various mechanical reasons but it is not usual for it to not be operating for extended periods of time. Overall it is a nice relaxing ride around Tomorrowland with views of the various attractions and castle. If timed just right, you can get some really cool views during the fireworks shows. It also has views into Space Mountain. Even after multiple visits we usually still ride the attraction even though it is virtually unchanged in years. Likely the next "change" will be when the updated version of the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin attraction nears completion you may be able to start getting a sneak peak at the updates.
