It’s certainly no secret that Disney parks are top-notch.

There’s a reason people come from all over the world to visit the Most Magical and Happiest Places on Earth, and even more reasons why people keep coming back time and time again. We can sing the praises of Disney parks until we’re blue in the face, but don’t take it from us — take it from the (other) theme park experts!
It’s official — Magic Kingdom is the number one Most Visited Theme Park Worldwide and in North America, according to the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA). The 2023 Theme Index Report lists Magic Kingdom in the top spot, with several other Disney parks making the ranking as well.
This is the first year the rankings have been adjusted since 2019 due to the global pandemic, but for the 18th year in a row, Magic Kingdom is number one. Disneyland Park has retained its spot as the number two Most Visited Theme Park Worldwide and in North America as well!

Overall, Disney holds eight out of the top ten spots for most visited parks worldwide and four out of the top five spots for most visited parks worldwide AND in North America.
Not only that, but Shanghai Disneyland has risen in rank from the number 10 spot to the fifth most visited park across the globe.

With so many incredible park expansions, new rides, new restaurants, new hotels, and more coming to Disney parks worldwide, it’s easy to see why they’re in the top spots! Both Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom in Disney World will be getting new lands, and a ton of new expansion plans were recently shared for Disneyland, too.

Disneyland Paris will have reimagined lands as well, with Shanghai Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Tokyo Disney Resort recently opening new park expansions. It’s a great time to be a Disney parks fan!
