Kid-Approved Magic Kingdom Bucket List (with a FREE PDF guide!)

posted on : July 9, 2020 posted by : Becca 0 Comment

When planning a day in the Magic Kingdom, it can be a bit overwhelming to determine the absolute must-do’s while navigating through the park. Here, I’ve rounded up all of the activities that you’ll want to hit and created the ultimate kid-approved Magic Kingdom bucket list. This will ensure that you and your family never miss a thing!

The Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World is an absolutely amazing place. My family loves to come and spend the day here because it is geared towards kids and families. If I had to choose, it’s probably our most beloved park. Here we find ourselves being completely immersed in the “magic.” We can find ourselves being swept away to faraway lands, amazing adventures, favorite characters meets, all while eating alllllll the yummy things.

Even though we’ve been visiting for years, we’ve never been able to conquer the park in a single day. With over 40 different attractions and entertainment options, plus numerous restaurants and snacks, there’s never enough time to see and do it all. Not to mention, that Disney is constantly changing and adding in new experiences all the time! There’s always something new to explore.

Kid-Approved Magic Kingdom Bucket List

In order to help us remember what we want to do on our future trips to the kingdom, I’ve created a kid-approved Magic Kingdom bucket list to help us out. I thought it would be helpful to share, so you can also plan to get the most out of your visits to the Magic Kingdom.

Don’t expect to accomplish all of these activities in one day…however, use it as a starting point and highlight which items are must-do’s for your family. If you’ve got more than one day planned in the Magic Kingdom, you might be able to hit most of the activities on the list. For the items that you don’t get to, don’t stress! Just save your bucket list for the next time you come!

For convenience, I’ve created this into a FREE printable PDF that you can tote along with you on your next trip to the kingdom. Don’t feel like carrying it with you? Just save it to your phone!! You can snag it here!
