The Walt Disney World Railroad circles Magic Kingdom with stations at the main entrance of the park, Frontierland and Fantasyland in the Big Top Circus area. Height Restriction: Guests can be any height This show featuring Mickey and Friends is the official start to each day at Magic Kingdom. Up until this point, guests can enter Magic Kingdom and explore Main Street but can get any further than the hub areas in front of the castle. Let the Magic begin is the opening show held on the castle stage before each land is officially opened. It’s not too scary but provides plenty of thrills to entertain all the family. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a great roller coaster to take kids on that haven’t been on bigger ones before. Lots of twists and turns in this fun coaster that we absolutely love. Take the wildest ride through mine caverns and canyons of the Big Thunder Mining Company.

Height Restriction: Guests 40in (102cm) or taller You can usually get on Pirates of the Caribbean very quickly first thing in the morning just after rope drop. This is one of the rides we will quite often ride first when visiting Magic Kingdom and I have some great memories of this ride. The music and humor really makes you feel like you are entering a world of pirates and starts off by setting a fairly dark atmosphere, but this soon picks up as you make your way through the ride. Pirates of the Caribbean is another classic Disney Ride. One of my favorite Dark Rides at Disney World. There are songs, humor and Captain Jack Sparrow in this fantastic boat ride that has great animatronics and even a small drop too. You take a boat ride through 17th Century waters where you will visit a haunted cove, a pirate ship attacking a Caribbean fort and Pirates being Pirates. Enter a world of Pirates and Captain Jack Sparrow in this classic Disney Dark Ride.
