Magic Kingdom with kids

This is the Disney park most families mean when they say Disney. It has the castle, the characters and the largest share of gentle rides, so a three-year-old and a ten-year-old can spend the day together. Plan on a full day and expect to queue.

Ages 3 to 10 are the sweet spot and will remember it. A baby does fine in the stroller but the day is really for the siblings. Teenagers enjoy the coasters and will want to split off.

Disney runs a free Baby Care Center in the park with changing tables, a quiet nursing room, high chairs and a small kitchen with a microwave. Six rides offer Rider Switch, so one adult rides while the other waits with the baby and then goes straight on. Strollers rent for $15 a day single or $31 double.

Tips for the visit

Tickets are date-based, so the same ticket costs more on busy days. Check the calendar before fixing your dates.
Standard parking is $35 a day.
The Baby Care Center sells diapers, wipes, formula and baby food if you run out.
Rental strollers must be returned before you leave the park, so keep your own for the car park.
