MAGIC KINGDOM AGENDA mk11
Today you will begin at the Magic Kingdom and make your way to Downtown Disney (DTD) in the evening for the spectacular Cirque du Soleil La Nouba show, with dinner following at the Rainforest Café
FIRST THINGS
Finish breakfast in your room, make sure you have your Cirque du Soleil tickets, and be at the Magic Kingdom bus stop at Pop Century by 7:50, or at the Resort Monorail Stop at the Polynesian by 8:10
AT THE PARK
- Arrive by 8:30. When you are let in at the opening at 9, head straight for Cinderella’s Castle and go through it to Fantasyland
- Ride first the attractions that because of their capacity, popularity, or both, get busy quickly–in order, Dumbo, Cinderella’s Golden Carousel, Peter Pan, the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and Snow White’s Scary Adventures. If your children imagine they are too old to enjoy one or both of the first two–then they are, and skip to the next items on the list
- Finish the remaining rides in Fantasyland
- Note the time of your seating for Cinderella’s Royal Table Lunch (two table credits) and interrupt your morning for it as needed
- When you have finished both Fantasyland and lunch, return to (in order) Liberty Square, Frontierland, Adventureland, and ride any rides in these areas you did not get to earlier this week
YOUR EVENING
- By 4:30 walk or take the resort monorail to the Contemporary Resort, and there find the bus stop for Downtown Disney (DTD), and take the bus to DTD. (Buses do not run from the parks to DTD)
- Ask the driver which stop to get off for Cirque du Soleil (special ticket, cash)
- Find Cirque du Soleil. If it is 5:45 or later, enter and find your seats. If earlier, explore DTD a bit, being sure to be inside Cirque du Soleil by 5:45 for your 6p show
- Exit Cirque du Soleil, ask a cast member for directions to the DTD Rainforest Café (cash), find it, and either enter if it is near 8 or wander a bit if you are earlier than your reservation
- After dinner, spend as much time in DTD as you like, and when you are ready, find the bus stop and take the bus back to your hotel
