How to do Disney’s Magic Kingdom with Multiples!

*Please note this post was originally written before the Fantasyland remodel! It will be updated once the expansion is complete*
The thought of taking multiples on a vacation, let alone Walt Disney World, is enough to make even the most seasoned parent break a sweat. We are lucky enough to live in the Orlando area and have taken our children to the parks several times. What we want to do today is show you just how easy it is to take twins, triplets and more to the Magic Kingdom (stay tuned for the remaining 3 parks, Disney resorts and Seaworld!). We’re going to split this post into sections to make it easier to follow and reference. So sit back, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!
*Please note this map is not accurate due to the Fantasyland expansion. A new map will be uploaded when the expansion is complete*
We hope you enjoyed all the tips and information, please let us know what you thought and if there is anymore information that you would like know!

I am so bookmarking this for later on down the road!! We plan on taking the boys to DW when they're 2 and this has SO many great tips — thank you for taking the time to do this!!
You girls are the best & I'm jealous that you live so close to DW!

We went this summer – twins 10 months old and toddler just turned 2.
We stayed at one park a day and went back to Magic Kingdom after we went to all of them.
Each night my husband and I would map out what we definitely wanted to see and highlight our maps so we weren't completely overwhelmed. You can make these maps ahead of time online and they will send them to you, they are great little scrapbook pieces. I definitely think with multiples or small children you should get a map before you go to the park.
Whew Ladies – that was a lot of hard work so thank you so much for your hard work! I am loving this post! We definitely want to take the girls soon so this is perfect info for planning our trip! Thank you both again so much!
What a great post! Excellent tips! You might want to mention that under 3 is free. I always thought it was kind of waste to take kids that young, but if you don't have to pay for them then it doesn't matter that they won't remember it. 🙂 My opinion, anyway. (I did the College Program working in Animal Kingdom – loved it!)
Great article, guys! Thank you!
Yay!! Thank you! We're going in 3 weeks, the boys will be just over a year old. I LOVE LOVE LOVE WDW! As an adult, I'd drive up from Miami several times a year sans kids! Lol.. So I've been trying to put it together how this one will be different w/ twins. I'm excited, and this will help me w/ things I hadn't thought of or would've forgotten!
Man, I can't wait to take my boys! I think every 6 months I beg my husband to let us go. My boys are 2.5 now and my husband is probably right – it would be overwhelming to them. I think I'm going to push for age 4 😉
great post!!! You make it look easy!! I love all the pictures but the one of the castle with the fireworks!! Amazing!!!Great job ladies!
What a wonderfully informative post. Thank you so much. Maybe someday we'll be able to use all this information.
Wonderful post! Thank you for ALL of the thorough info. Growing up in Orange County, I went to Disneyland all the time…but having these tips specific for Disneyworld have made me anxious to plan a vacation to Florida asap!
Thank you!

Wow! You guys are awesome… I will definitely reference this for when we take our girls in a few years! Thanks. And I'm still laughing at the haircut post. Thanks for re-linking that one!
Great post, great tips. I'll come back for a reference.
OMG, is wonderful post and bookmark it. We are thinking to go on family vacation this year to DW so your tips help us a lot.
Thanks for sharing and take your time for these.
That was an INTENSELY AWESOME post! THE BEST I've read! Answered so many questions…now I just need to print and highlight! Thank you so much – wow what a resource to pass along!
When are the other parks going to be posted? Can't wait!
Wow!! what an amazingly in depth post! I didn't even read it all b/c we don't plan to visit any time soon..but hopefully in the next few years..I will surely save this info for then!
Great post. One thing, I don't remember if it said in there or not. When we took our kids several years ago, we all had matching shirts (all 6 of us) for each day we were at the park. It made it so much easier to be able to keep an eye on our kids at the park. For example, one day we all wore these bright yellow shirts. It was easy to keep an eye on the kids and still give them a tiny bit of freedom and it was easy for them to find us in the crowd too. They didn't have to try to remember what we were wearing either.
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!! This is a fantastic reference. Will you be posting guides to the other parks as well?? This makes me want to plan a trip TOMORROW!!
Hey everyone! Thanks for all of the great comments! We are planning on doing posts for all of the Disney parks, as well as a post about the resorts. If you have any specific questions please email them to us at multiplesandmoreblog@yahoo.com
Just an FYI, I took a Triple Jogger to DW, and the first several days we had no problem getting it in and out. But for some reason the last day we were 'caught' and they almost didn't let us use it. Apparently they consider it to wide and a safety problem. (But apparently usinga double and single stroller side by side was fine…go figure :D)
Anyway, just an fyi!!
We just made a couple trips to Disneyland (one in November and one in January) with our triplets..I wish I had this post to refer to before we went! I was SO stressed about the first trip because I didn't know what to expect and how to tackle everything. The second trip went much smoother. Great info! Thanks 🙂
Great Post!!!
The only thing I would say is, we took our Triple Runabout to Disney and rode on the monorail it is a really tight fit so I'm not sure if a stroller that's bigger would fit.
Just my experience:)
If you have a stroller bigger than the Triple Runabout you can put it in on an angle and it will fit (you may have to put the handle bar down too). And for the buses, I talked to someone in transportation and they said you can bring the Runabout's on board, the kids cannot sit in them though, even though they are not being collapsed.
This is great! What are your thoughts about the park's busyness the second week in June? Like the 5-11?
