Magic Kingdom® Park
Everyone’s image of the Walt Disney World® Resort is encompassed in a mere 107 acres of pure enchantment. The oldest theme park at the Walt Disney World® Resort is a kid’s fantasy of marvelously themed lands created to charge the imagination of young and old alike. Around every corner is a vision bound to take your breath away, one that’s guaranteed to draw you back time and time again. Cinderella Castle, the visual magnet of the Magic Kingdom® Park, hits you square in the face as you walk under the train station and into a world of make-believe with all the glory of Main Street, U.S.A.® spread out before you and that fairytale castle at the end. Then get ready for the time of your life.
One big piece of news is an expanded Fantasyland opening sometime in 2013. Details includes the Be My Guest Restaurant located in the new Beast’s Castle as well as quick-service fare at Gaston’s Tavern. Meet and greet Disney princesses in Sleeping Beauty’s cottage, Belle’s village, and Cinderella’s country chateau; there will even be an expanded Pixie Hollow featuring Tinker Bell and her fairy friends. And an Under the Sea with Ariel ride and expanded Dumbo attraction offering double the capacity promise to be huge hits. Get ready for the time of your life!
The Lay of the Land
The compact Magic Kingdom® Park consists of seven bewitching lands accessed by five bridges leading from a central hub in front of Cinderella Castle. Travel down Main Street, U.S.A.® to reach the hub from the front entrance. Traveling clockwise around the hub you first encounter the bridge to Adventureland®, then the bridge to Liberty Square and Frontierland®, the third crosses under the castle to Fantasyland®, the fourth drops you close to Mickey’s Toontown® Fair, and the fifth into Tomorrowland®.
