When you enter the park, make sure you pick up the Times Guide. It contains the times and location of the character meet and greets, parades, restaurants and more.

I hope you were able to enjoy the Magic Kingdom last night until 10pm, even though the times guide said they closed at 9. In an hour, we got to ride Dumbo, Small World, Haunted Mansion, Railroad coaster 3X, Buzzlight year, space mountain 2X and the people mover! (And then we met mickey and I sprained my ankle walking down the stairs in front of it haha.) Enjoy your trip!
That’s one of the things my son loves to do, get a times guide and a map. It’s the little things. I have a picture of him on each of his 6 times there with either a map or a times guide in his hand or him looking at one.
