Poll: Which land do you visit first at Magic Kingdom?

[DisneyFive]

I'm curious to know which land you visit first at Magic Kingdom? (for the first MK visit of your stay). ...and why?

For us, it's either Tomorrowland or Frontierland. If I had to pick, I would probably say that we do Tomorrowland first the most often. We tend to FP+ 7DMT, BTMRR and Splash in the morning (starting around 10am), so we typically take care of Tomorrowland attractions standby at park opening, then start to do FP's

We almost always hit Fantasyland first at RD, since we're not willing to deal with the longer lines there later in the day. Then we transition over to Frontierland and do either Splash or BTMRR, using the other one as our first FP+ selection of the day.

It depends on what we have FP for. I voted Adventureland because that is what we did last trip, as soon as we got there (8 AM on a 7 AM EE day) we knocked off Jungle Cruise and Pirates with no wait, then headed off to HM (again no wait). I had Space Mtn FP, Peter Pan and BTMRR, starting at 9:15 (Splash was closed). We were able to get Pooh and 7DMT FP as our 4th and 5th. Filled in time gaps with some other things like Small World, Carousel, Dumbo, Teacups, Philharmagic; out of the park by 2:30. I had FP for BTMRR and 7DMT for another day after dark, plus Space again because it is my favorite there.

I really can't answer this because it's so varied. As PP said, it often will depend on FP+. However, often times our first FP+ isn't for an hour or more after we enter. Then, it's truly "Hey, what do you kids feel like doing?" We pull up the MDE app to check wait times and make a spur of the moment decision.

We're clockwise people.

Adventureland with short morning lines, fp+ splash/BTMMR, maybe HM standby if its not terrible.

Cruise through shops in fantasyland and mainstreet on way out for midday break/pool, back in afternoon to finish fantasyland and tomorrowland after dark is personal favorite.

Always Adventureland... the music that plays when you cross the bridge is one of the triggers that tells me I'm really there. And most of my top favorite attractions are in Adventureland as well.

 

[MrsDuck]

Adventureland, then move clockwise! It's just how we've always done it!

 

[ajwolfe]

Adventureland..Another clockwise visitor.

 

[mom22boys]

Always Tomorrowland, to enjoy SM and Buzz at RD. Funny that the a PP mentioned the music in Adventureland, for us it is the music in Tomorrowland. We might just have to try Adventureland first one of our upcoming MK days though!

Fantasyland if I need to rope drop Peter Pan, but otherwise it's Adventureland and continue clockwise.

Frontierland. We get FPs for Fantasyland early afternoon and hit BTMR and Splash at RD when we can get a couple of walk on rides for each. We do sometimes hit JC on the way, but we’re really trying to get to BTMR quickly. The next day at MK we hit Tomorrowland at RD

 

[Queen of the WDW Scene]

If at RD always Fantasyland.
There are a number of attractions close together making it easier to get a lot done in the first two hours.
We have easily done PP, IASW, HM (Yes I know not in FL but its close enough to hit up while in the area), Mickey's Philharmafic, Pooh, Under the Sea, and a 7DMT FP+ all before our 11:00am ish lunch at BOG.

 

[JETSDAD]

Big Thunder and Splash are our favourite rides at MK so we head straight to Frontierland to hit each of those a couple of times.

 

[wdwcoltsfan]

Adventureland--POTC is always our first ride.

 

[caribbeandream]

When DS was a toddler and preschooler we went straight for Fantasyland. Once he got tall enough for the roller coasters though we head straight to Tomorrowland to rope drop Space Mountain.

 

[Mome Rath]

We're flip-floppers; Fantasy to Tomorrow, back to hub, Adventure, Liberty, back to Fantasy, then Main Street.

 

[MickeyWaffles]

Always Fantasyland. Always, for as long as I can remember.

Although, we are thinking of starting in Tomorrowland when we go in May! Our trip in Sept got cut way short due to Irma and Tomorrowland didn’t get any love because of it. Next time, going right to Buzz!

 

[jvz82]

Generally we like to start with Adventure land. It seems like most of the crowds go other directions so we like to knock out the entire land with minimal waits. Sometimes that changes though when there are EMH, since Adventure land isn't open during EMH so we'll start elsewhere. So it depends. But there's just something I like about starting in Adventure land!

Last trip we started at It's a Small World during EMH because it was the ride my kids wanted to start with. That was really fun too and we were the only ones on our boat! Not a popular RD ride apparently.

 

[DisneyDad2015]

Always Fantasyland since we RD either PP or 7DMT.

I voted for Fantasyland because today I fastpass SDMT at 9 and PP at 10, seeing other Fantasyland attractions in between. However, in the days of paper Fastpass, I would start in Frontierland. Knocking out Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain in quick succession was an excellent start to the day.
