MK's Best Park Today — Rope-Down TRON, Then Hit the Queue-Free Hub

A-hyuck, folks — Magic Kingdom's got the best health score of any park today, with all headliners runnin'! That means TRON Lightcycle / Run (80 min) is the one to rope-drop — trust ol' Goofy — then ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (40 min) while the little ones are happy. Now, a heads-up: there's a systems issue in the hub area. Big Thunder Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress, The Hall of Presidents, and even the Walt Disney World Railroad are all down right now. So do what I'd do: front-load your headliners before the crowds build, then hit Fantasyland where Tiana's Bayou Adventure (35 min) and Frozen Ever After (40 min) are both runnin' fine. Park's packed (score: 8, High), so ride first, stroll later!
