The Magic Kingdom

The busiest theme park in the world (with somewhere around 17 million annual visitors), the Magic Kingdom is home base to the most famous rides in the Disney pantheon, including Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, the Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan's Flight, and Splash Mountain. A Disney character parade cuts through the park and heads down Main Street, USA, every afternoon, and a 12-minute fireworks spectacular lights up the sky many nights.

Tip: Professional Disney photographers will take your picture in front of Cinderella's Castle; you can go online later and purchase the snap.
