I had high expectations for Magic Place Kissimmee, but unfortunately, it fell short. The park was not well-designed, and it was difficult to navigate between different areas. The rides were mediocre and lacked excitement. The shows were unimpressive, with poor choreography and lackluster performances. Additionally, the cleanliness of the park left much to be desired. It was disappointing, considering the high ticket prices. I wouldn't recommend it to others.
