When Walt Disney World first opened in 1971, the Magic Kingdom theme park was the central attraction of the Vacation Kingdom, with all of the resort area’s transportation built around getting to the park.
However, in the five decades since Walt Disney World has grown exponentially, making getting to the resort a tad more complicated to navigate… to say the least! Don’t fret, though, we’re here to answer every question you could possibly have about how to get to the Magic Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom’s Address
First and foremost, knowing the Magic Kingdom’s physical address is important. The park is located at 1180 Seven Seas Drive, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830.
How to Drive to Magic Kingdom
Once you have the address, enter it into your GPS and follow the instructions. However, you won’t actually be able to park at the Magic Kingdom.
