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

[HappyGal]

Adventureland since 1976 when I was a kid.

 

[Happiest.Haunt_999]

I'm the one Liberty Square vote because I have to ride the HM first thing LOL!

Since childhood it was always Adventureland and POTC, but now that it's just DBF and I we like to go to LSq first and ride the mansion.

 

[Elle23]

Tomorrowland here.

My kids like to ride Space Mountain over and over.

 

[experiment625]

I'm one of the few who voted for Liberty Square baha. Haunted Mansion is usually our first and last ride in the World.

 

[GeorgiaHoo]

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

Yup, that's us. Still unhappy that Splash is closed for our Nov. 1-10 trip. Would have scheduled for different dates if I'd known in advance it was closed.

 

[loves to dive]

I voted Adventureland but we really don't have a pattern. If we made FPs we will go to where those are but otherwise it's just in whatever direction seems less crowded or is easiest to get to. If there is a show or parade going on when we arrive, we just go whatever direction we can sneak through. We are very loose Disney people, we rarely plan and go often so we rarely do rope drop either.

 

[StephenM84]

We RD Fantasyland

PP, Smallworld, Pooh, Dumbo, Tea Cups, Barnstormer, LM and FP for 7DMT. That's 8 rides done before lunch time.

You forgot one, Main Street. This is where my wife and I greet the Magic Kingdom, get our first view of the castle, our senses are awakened by the smells and sounds of what we like to call the "We're Back" feeling. You have characters, sometimes the babershop quartet singing, possibly a parade, the shops, popcorn, a candy treat. I also get my Mickey ice cream from the vendor just as we enter the park. Sitting on the rocking chairs and watching as families first enter the park. We spend at least an hour just on Main Street. I should point out that my wife and I are in our 60's, we go now without children or grandchildren. We don't do fast passes because we choose to slow down and really enjoy the "Park" rather than rushing from one ride to the next. Yes, I have been there with children many times and I understand the need to keep the kids happy. We have found that just the two of us, we can now slow down and really enjoy all the park has to offer at our own pace. My vote goes for Main Street because that is where the Magic truly begins.

 

[goofyintoronto]

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.

Same here! Those are very popular rides....I like to do those first. We always head straight to splash and big thunder first.

 

[han22735]

Fantasyland if we need to rope drop Peter Pan, but otherwise it's Adventureland and continue clockwise. Then on our 2nd MK day its the opposite with us starting in Tomorrowland.

 

[Spencer Wright]

Fronteirland.

We like to start with either Splash Mountain or Thunder Mountain Railroad; and depending on FP's and group preference we'll either head to Fantasy or Tomorrow Land.

It's admittedly backtracking, but HM and Columbia Harbor house at common stops at lunch time!

 

[hrdcor32]

I like Tomorrowland first to hit Buzz and Space Mountain, possibly Speedway followed by FP's in Fantasyland

I LOVE this! This is exactly what I would do if I were traveling solo.

 

[stephtron312]

Adventureland and work clockwise (also because I LOVE Tomorrowland at night so we save that for last usually) but I have to admit that I'm a bad DISer and I never make FP+ beforehand so I can see how having those planned out might effect someones pattern!

 

[sassy2000]

I voted for Tomorrowland because that is our usual route since my kids love Space Mountain. But for our upcoming trip our 1st day we will head to adventureland and then our 2nd trip will start at tomorrowland. It really depends now on our fp+ times.

Plus, how can you do any of those other lands without at least experiencing Main Street USA on your way in? I mean, yeah, lots of folks are determined to get somewhere ASAP... but there's still THAT VIEW!

 

[Okinawanchick]

We do either Tomorrowland or Frontierland to hit our favorite rides, Space mtn. and big thunder mtn.

 

[Kiersten]

Last time I was in the MK, we went to Frontierland first because of the crowds. It was very crowded getting through the gates and so we observed which direction the majority of the crowd was going and went in the opposite direction. Frontierland was practically empty. It was nice to be able to wander around for a bit without being rammed by strollers. lol

 

[Geoff_M]

Fantasyland, because we do RD and the queues there jam up quicker there than any other land.

 

[shanew21]

Adventureland/Frontierland.

Basically the first two hours we try to get Big Thunder/Jungle Cruise/Splash/Pirates done, then we fastpass SDMT/Space Mountain/Peter Pan.
