In the effort to maintain quality family time with our children, we have recently scheduled “family game nights,” a pretty self-explanatory activity. With our entire family being the Disney fanatics we are, we certainly couldn’t pass up purchasing The Magic Kingdom Board Game.

The game is relatively simple for the young player but still packs a fun factor even for adults. The idea of the game is to visit one attraction from each land in the park and be the first player to make it to the exit. The attractions are selected randomly by each player from a deck of cards. We tweaked the rules for our 5 year old, since she is just learning how to read, by allowing every player to see the attractions he/she was dealt. This added to the fun of the game, making it easier to cheer each other on, or in my case, the kids got to send me back to start on multiple occasions to ensure I wouldn’t win. Along with the attraction cards, the game includes Event Cards, complete with Fast Passes for the attractions and helpful tour guides in Cinderella, Dumbo and others. Players can also ride the Railroad and get autographs from Mickey and Donald.
 
I would definitely recommend this game for all families looking to spend some special time together. A few things to keep in mind are; this game is only for up to 5 players and it combines both Disneyland and The Magic Kingdom Attractions. For example, the castle is Sleeping Beauty’s Castle but the Haunted Mansion is the Florida version. But it has created many good memories for about $20.00.
