What We Love Most About Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World

This week the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World officially reopens to guests. We’re using this great occasion to talk about what we love most about visiting the Walt Disney World Resort hotels. We cover all the lands, Main Street, U.S.A., Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Liberty Square, Frontierland and Adventureland. We share our favorite attractions, parade, fireworks and so much more.

You can find our podcast here on PodbeaniTunesSpotifyMyTuner, and ListenNotes. If you’re not familiar with the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, please check out our overview.

It’s hard to get all of our six children together, but this podcast includes not only my wife Kathy, but our oldest daughter Mikell, our son Braedon, and our youngest daughter Madison.
