Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is a great park for families. There are numerous rides that everyone can enjoy together.
Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom
In Tomorrowland, families can catch a few rides together.
Breathtaking Views from PeopleMover
Start with a calm ride on Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. This elevated ride over Tomorrowland takes riders on a open-air trip through Tomorrowland.

After soaring above Tomorrowland and fighting evil in space head over to a low key ride in the Carousel of Progress.

Across the way families can enjoy a couple of rides in Adventureland. Here guests can take on pirates, fly on a magic carpet and experience the jungles of the world.
Hands up on Magic Carpet
Magic Carpets of Aladdin is a great place for families to start their adventure. Families will board a magic carpet that will rise and rotate around a genie bottle and magic lamp. Like with Astro Orbiter, riders can control their magic carpet moving it up and down as well as tilting it back and forth. Watch out though as there is a camel that likes to spit. If riders can plan it right, the camel might surprise riders on their magic carpet.’
Enjoying the Jungle Cruise

A narration will play by Mark Twain that will explain the importance of discoveries and transportation.
Haunted Mansion
Another option for some families is Haunted Mansion. Even though this is seen as good for all families, the dark ride might scare some little ones.
