There are several Disney parks around the world, today we will talk about all the parks found in the United States.
On this post
This post can be a bit confusing as the first question many people ask initially is where is disney?
In general, disney is all over the world, as we have parks around the world, such as Disney World in Orlando and in other locations including Japan and China!
Here we will only focus on those found in the United States that are in Florida and California.
And we will explain a little bit about each of them.
We will give our opinion on everything we experienced in each of these incredible parks so that you can choose the best option to enjoy the Disney parks with your family.
Disney Parks in Orlando
Magic Kingdom
This is the most iconic Disney Park, symbol of Disney and Orlando itself.
It is perhaps the most famous Disney park in the world, largely due to its strong point, the Castle from Cinderella.
By the way, in every corner of this park we have a bit of the magic created by the Disney universe.
There is no way to make this trip that is in the sub and conscious of all young people and adults and simply say that it was not Magic Kingdom.
It is a park that we recommend that you set aside at least 2 days for it, if possible, of course.
If you have little time for your trip, do not hesitate to contact us so that we can set up your Custom Travel Script on a trip!
It offers many children's attractions and even 5 roller coasters.
There's so much magic in this wonderful park.
We love to save the Magic Kingdom for the end of the trip, to end in style!

This is the famous SpaceShip Earth, attraction that is right at the entrance to Epcot!
Normally it is associated with adults, ideal for those who want to eat and try different things while still enjoying that adrenaline rush, this Disney park is almost classic attractions such as the Guardians of the Galaxies attraction, Soarin' and Test track.
It also has a special attraction for children who are fans of Frozen and Nemo🇧🇷 We have an exclusive post talking about each of the Epcot attractions.
It's probably the most underrated Disney park and many travelers don't include it in their itinerary.
However, Epcot increasingly offers good entertainment options and attractions for visitors.

In addition to Pandora, there are several other fun attractions in the park such as the Everest Expedition, a roller coaster where in search of the Yeti.

California Disneyland Parks
There is also a complex of parks and Disney hotels in California.

This Disney Resort California complex formed by Disneyland Parks, Disney's California Adventure, Downtown Disney and three more themed hotels.
Is your location the city of Anaheim? which is 40 km from Los Angeles.
Everything in the region is easily accessible and easy to get around without relying on means of transport.
Disneyland California
Disneyland California is divided into 8 areas, many of them very similar to the Magic Kingdom: Main Street USA, Adventureland, New Orleans Square, Critter Country, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Mickey's Toontown and Tomorrowland.
It is quite common for it to be compared to the Magic Kingdom even because the concept of the 2 was basically the same.
However, despite being similar, there are several differences between the two.
It's pretty cool because despite being similar to the Magic Kingdom, you'll find several similar and different attractions.
If you've already been to Orlando and California.
Tell us in the comments which one you liked best.
Disney California Adventure
Very different from all Orlando parks, it was made in honor of the region that inspired Walt Disney.
It opened in 2001 and was called Disney's California Adventure Park at the time.
Disney California Adventure Park is a more radical park, full of hyper fun attractions and different from all other Disney parks in the world.
There you will find several attractions such as Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout, Radiators Springs Racer, Soarin' Over California and Pixar Pal-A-Round Swinging.
In addition to an area completely dedicated to the movie Cars, the famous Radiators Springs.

Avoid Weekends and Holidays at Disney Parks
Choosing the day of each park well can significantly change the amount of hours you waste in a queue.
Usually the parks tend to be much more crowded on weekends, and especially on holidays by Americans from all states who usually travel to Orlando to enjoy the parks on holiday.
Depending on the holiday, the parks are not full just because of Americans, but because of the whole world that takes the opportunity to visit Orlando, such as Christmas and New Year, which are often common long holidays in many countries.
So avoid visiting the parks on weekends and holidays, as they tend to get crowded.
If your trip is short and you have to choose a park to visit on a weekend or holiday, choose the ones that tend to be more empty for those days.
Avoid days with Special Events
Several days special events take place at each of the parks.
There are several types, they can only be events with extended hours for disney hotel guests.
Could be some party with ticket paid separately as the party Halloween or Christmas at the Magic Kingdom.
Choosing the best day to go to one of the Disney parks can be a slightly tedious and difficult task because there are many elements that can change your day to day there.
But rest assured that there are options, the first of them is to search, but we have already explained everything in this post on here for you to check out how to choose the best day to go to the Disney parks.

Get to Disney Parks Early
Sounds silly but this tip makes all the difference.
Try to be at the door of the park at least 30 minutes in advance, because when the park open you will be one of the first to enter, and you will be able to go to that popular attraction that you were unable to book fastpass.
Including many parks they open the doors even earlier than the stated time, and sometimes they even open some attractions, so don't miss this chance to get everything empty and win some minute in your day.
As soon as the park when the attractions are usually much less crowded, since not everyone arrives at the park as soon as it opens, so enjoy it while it's less crowded!
It is noteworthy that the Magic Kingdom it is a park that if you arrive earlier depending on the day they let you in even before the park open, during this time only Main Street is available for visitors to access to enjoy and take that classic photo with Cinderella's castle, and at the scheduled time to open the park officially the areas with attractions are open, but you will have already taken your beautiful photos and will be free to run to the most popular attraction and enjoy it with a shorter line.
Oh and a detail, in Magic Kingdom there is an opening show in front of the castle called “Let The Magic Begin“, if you arrive early in addition to taking the park less crowded, you can watch this little show that is fun and has the participation of several Disney characters! stays at tip
