Be sure to save a whole day for the Magic Kingdom, where fantasies become reality. Walk down Main Street USA and hang a right at Cinderella’s castle to explore rides like Small World, Peter Pan, and the Tea Cups.Walt Disney World Orlando has shuttle service to and from all its hotels on the campus and off. The monorail makes it easy to get from park to park as well. It’s a treat to make a memory that will last forever at Walt Disney World, the happiest place on earth.
