Best things about the Magic Kingdom
I thought it would be fun to make threads dedicated to each Disney Florida theme park so fans can tell others what they uniquely love about them.
This one is for the Magic Kingdom.
Please tell us what you think are the best things about the Magic Kingdom, and this is the hard part, that you can't find in the other parks.
I'll start:
The MK is where you find the "old" Disney -- classic animated and live-action stories come to life: pirates, ghosts, fairies, an old-time fort, castles, princesses, aliens and prospectors. It's nostalgia and childlike fantasy.
What else?
Many visits over 35+ years!

Although Disneyland is the original, I can still get the sense of the place that I grew up watching on TV and always wanted to visit.
The classic rides.
The sense of fantasy and magic in a rather intimate setting.

I love taking the train around the loop. I remember doing it when I was a child.

We like to make a 8 a.m. breakfast reservation at the Crystal Palace for an experience that's unique to the MK - walking up Main Street when it's pretty much deserted. I have some great photos of Main Street without a soul around and that makes us feel like we're the only ones in the park.
After breakfast, we head to the hub and watch as the crowds roll up Main Street when the park opens. It's like watching a tsunami of humanity.

The Haunted Mansion.
I am such a wimp around Halloween and with scary movies. But I am in love with the HM! I am smiling like an idiots thru most of it. I love how slow it is so you can appreciate all the little details. And no matter how many times you ride you notice different things. No other ride at Disney makes me feel so great

Carousel of Progress and Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. I remember when I was a kid (I'm now 53) and being in complete awe of the animatronics! Grew up near Disneyland so was able to see Mr. Lincoln & COP--when at WDW I enjoy the Hall of Presidents.
The animatronics are still magical to me and a must see every trip!!

Our favourite is the Adventureland bridge crossover. It's where you first here the adventure music and it is a tradition that we dance to the music while crossing the bridge.
Since the first park & ride of (almost) every trip starts with MK and Pirates, this bridge is like start to our vacation!

Absolutely EVERYTHING. But mostly....just entering the park and walking down Main Street - you know that you have 'arrived' at the happiest place on earth!!

Love to see the excitement in my family eyes and all the kids around us enjoying all the magic. I feel like I'm at a home that I never had when growing up.

Details.
The way the architecture on Main Street (and Liberty Square to Frontierland) changes as you walk down.
How they covered every flickering lightbulb in the Haunted Mansion with a gas mantle.
How the lightposts on Main Street change from gas to electric.
How the background music blends in, but it changes from land to land.
That kind of stuff.
2002 - 2022: 20+ visits (POR, BW, All Stars, VWL, CSR, BLT, BC, SSR, CB, Dolphin, OKW, Poly, offsite x8)

The castle. It amazes me everytime.
-
The fact that there are so very many attractions. There is just so much to do at MK, it's hard to get it all in. Guess that's what keeps me coming back!
-
Walking through the tunnel out to Main Street and seeing the castle for the first time still bring goose bumps even tho I have seen it before, that first time each trip is special.
The way each turn on the path brings a new back round music selection.
