4 Top Secret Shortcuts in Magic Kingdom

We’re in the Disney World parks every day, so over time we’ve picked up a tip or two!

We’ve learned where all the best snacks can be found, the location of the best bathrooms, and, of course, all of the most useful shortcuts in all the parks. Today, we’re sharing our favorite shortcuts from Magic Kingdom!

Frontierland to Adventureland

The first shortcut we’ve got to talk about is the one between Frontierland and Adventureland.

It makes for a perfect shortcut when you want to travel from one to the other.

On one side of the path is Aloha Isle, and on the other is Country Bear Musical Jamboree. It doesn’t necessarily shave a ton of time off your travels, but you’ll usually find fewer people on this path.

Tomorrowland Terrace

Near the front of the park and to the right of Cinderella Castle as you’re facing it, you’ll find the Tomorrowland Terrace.

This makes for a great shortcut that many times goes underutilized. I recently used it to rope drop TRON Lightcycle / Run, and it made a huge difference! I barely had to fight through the crowds.

Not only are there typically fewer crowds there, but it’ll save you a few minutes as you travel to and from Tomorrowland, and it’s covered, which means you’ll get to be out of the elements.

TRON to Storybook Circus

Now, let’s say you want to hop on TRON Lightcycle / Run and then head over to Storybook Circus. Well, instead of heading all the way back out of TRON and circling around the Tomorrowland Speedway, how about going UNDER TRON instead?

This one will save you a TON of time, and usually, there isn’t a soul on this path.

It also feels a few degrees cooler on this lower path, which is just fine with us when trying to escape the heat.

Adventureland to Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe

And finally, let’s talk about the bridge that connects the front of Adventureland to the back of Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe.

This one can be a lifesaver when you’re trying to avoid all the crowds as they gather around Cinderella Castle. Also, most people tend not to travel down this path, so you’ll typically have smooth sailing from one to the other. With all that extra time, you can grab a cheeseburger spring roll from the Spring Roll Snack Cart, too!
