If you've
ever dreamt of being behind the wheel of a 600 horsepower
Sprint Cup style stock car, the Richard Petty Driving
Experience can make your dreams come true.
The track is located next to the Magic Kingdom Parking lot. If driving, enter the Magic Kingdom toll plaza towards the left and turn left at the Walt Disney World Speedway sign.
When using Disney transportation, take the Richard Petty Driving Experience Shuttle from the Ticket and Transportation Center which picks up next to the Magic Kingdom Kennel. The shuttle begins operation at 8:00am and ends at 4:00pm. It runs every 20 to 25 minutes.
Please note that all programs are subject to close if the weather is inclement. Call ahead to verify that the track is open.
Tips:
RPDE will not offer a refund if your experience gets canceled due to weather, you must reschedule within 364 days!
I would suggest booking this experience at the beginning of your vacation that way it allows time for a reschedule later on your trip. Florida is notorious for crazy weather patterns.
Remember there is little to NO shade, loud engines and fumes. Keep all that in mind when bringing along small children.
Track is located behind MK parking lot, or in front of the Polynesian.
