04 · The parks

What each one is.

Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is the original Florida Disney park, opened in 1971, and still the most-visited theme park in the world. The classic line-up is iconic: Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, TRON Lightcycle / Run, and Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Cinderella Castle anchors the central hub with nightly fireworks.

Magic Kingdom is busy almost every day of the year, with peak crowds during US school holidays, the December holidays, and special events like Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Mid-January through early February is the quietest period. Check live wait times across Disney's free Lightning Lane system, and use our crowd calendar to plan your visit around Disney's Extended Evening Hours and holiday patterns.

Sesame Place Langhorne

Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pennsylvania is the original Sesame Street theme park, a short drive north of Philadelphia and aimed squarely at children under ten. It mixes a dry side of family rides such as Oscar's Wacky Taxi Coaster, Vapor Trail Coaster and Elmo's Cloud Chaser with a water park of slides and splash areas, plus daily character parades and shows.

Because the audience is young and the park is small, queues build fast in the middle of the day and thin out again as families leave in the afternoon. Wait times here rarely reach big-park levels, but the crowd calendar will still show you which summer weekends to avoid, and checking live before you arrive helps you decide whether to start on the rides or the water side.
