36 Things To Do at Disney World

We’ve done our research and believe that we have come up with the top things you should do at each Disney World park.

Must do list for Magic Kingdom

When it comes to Disney World’s most popular park, you are going to want to plan your time in Magic Kingdom carefully!

In order to get the most done in a day, you are going to want to make sure that you get there early and plan on utilizing the new Lightning Lane service.

Here are the things you must do in Magic Kingdom:

Ride: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, TRON: Lightcycle Run, & Splash Mountain
See: Princesses at Princess Fairytale Hall, Festival of Fantasy Parade and Fireworks
Eat: Dole Whip, Mickey Mouse Candy Apple and drink LeFou’s Brew at Gaston’s Tavern

Must do list for EPCOT

There have been some major changes at EPCOT, including the addition of new rides and attractions.

Because of this, it has become increasingly popular for guests to visit. You should expect lots of lines and should consider purchasing Lightning Lane for this reason.

Here are the things you must do in EPCOT while there:

Ride: Test Track, Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind, & Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
See: Chinese Acrobats, Anna & Elsa, & Luminous The Symphony of Us
Eat: Ice Cream & Gelato, Churros at La Cantina de San Angel, & grab drinks at Club Cool (it’s free)

Must do list for Animal Kingdom

Due to the popularity of Pandora, the World of Avatar, Animal Kingdom has become a huge draw for many families.

This means that if you don’t get a Lightning Lane Pass for the most popular ride (Flight of Passage) you are going to want to hit Pandora, the World of Avatar first thing in the morning so that you aren’t standing in line for 3 or 4 hours (or miss riding it completely).

These are the things you must do in Animal Kingdom:

Ride: Avatar Flight of Passage, Kilimanjaro Safari, and Expedition Everest.
See: Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!, The Festival of the Lion King, and Tree of Life Awakening
Eat: Chocolate Waffle or Dole Whip (both are at Tamu Tamu), and drink a Night Blossom (in Pandora)

Must do list for Hollywood Studios

With the addition of Galaxy’s Edge, Hollywood Studios is one of the most crowded of the four parks in Walt Disney World and certainly, a must-do park for those who love Star Wars!

Here is what you need to prioritize at Hollywood Studios:

Ride: Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Slinky Dog Dash, and Tower of Terror
See: Indiana Jones Stunt Show, Fantasmic! & Beauty & the Beast Live on Stage
Eat: Darth Vader Cupcake and drink the Peanut Butter Jelly Milkshake at 50’s Prime Time Cafe

There are SO many other things you are going to want to ride and experience at the parks, but if you have limited time, these are the Disney World must dos.
