Sometimes, it’s like we forget that Disney World has a LOT of parks!
Magic Kingdom
I mean, with four parks, it can be hard to keep track of them all, let alone try to prioritize them when you have limited time on vacation. For example, EPCOT has all the best food, Hollywood Studios has all the best rides, Animal Kingdom has the vibes, and then… Magic Kingdom just slips to the bottom of our list sometimes, especially after we’ve been so frequently! To that point, we wanted to get your thoughts on whether or not you ever skip Magic Kingdom when you go to Disney World!
We reached out to our followers on Facebook to ask: “When you go to Disney World, do you ever SKIP Magic Kingdom?” We had quite a few people leave their opinions in the comments!
What do you think?
Now, let’s dive into the responses!
To Skip
Let’s just rip the Band-Aid off and come right out and say it. Yes, some people skip Magic Kingdom when going to Disney World. (Roughly one-third of you responded this way)
Let’s have a look at your responses:
- “Absolutely, we spend way more time at Epcot, HS, and AK”
- “Every time
unless I want to eat at Liberty Tree #local” - “Yes, I do. Not that I don’t love it, I just prefer Disneyland if I’m going to do a castle park. I prefer Epcot and Animal Kingdom when I visit Florida.”
Magic Kingdom
As you can see, the reasons for skipping Magic Kingdom are as nuanced as can be imagined.
Here are a couple of those reasons:
- Crowds and wait times
- Going on a short trip with limited park days
- Don’t have young children
- Prefer the other parks (EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom)

Not To Skip
And on the other side of the coin, there are many of you, the majority in this poll, that would consider it sacrilegious to even consider skipping Magic Kingdom. (Roughly two-thirds of you responded this way)
Let’s have a look at your responses:
- “Never!!!! Magic Kingdom is what Disney is all about!!!!”
- “No, my husband loves Magic Kingdom and I love Epcot so we always visit both….even if it’s a one-day visit.”
- “Blasphemy!!!!!!! Nope, never ever ever. Absolutely my favorite park since I first went as a kid in 1986 ”
Main Street, U.S.A.
Again, there are many reasons for not skipping Magic Kingdom, and here are a couple of them:
- It is the most iconic Disney World park
- It has the best rides and attractions
- It’s a sentimental favorite
- It’s a must-do for the first or last day of the trip
