"A Magic Kingdom where the young at heart of all ages can laugh and play and learn, together."

Welcome to the Magic Kingdom!

The Magic Kingdom opened in 1971,with twenty-three (now thirty-nine) attractions split into six themed lands: Main Street USA, Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland. 

 In 2012, the park hosted 17.54 million visitors. That's a ton of people! So it's no surprise that the Magic Kingdom currently holds the spot for most attended theme park in the world.

Here's a complete walk-through video of the entire park.

Main Street USA

When you first walk into the park, you're in Main Street USA, lined with shops selling merchandise and food. The decor is early-20th century small-town America, inspired by Walt Disney's childhood. Most windows on the different shops and restaurants bear the name of people who were influential at Disney parks.

At the end of Main Street is Cinderella Castle. Standing 189 feet tall, this icon of the park is actually strong enough to withstand a 110 mph hurricane! Pretty convenient for being located in the middle of Florida.

Adventureland

Adventureland represents the mystery of exploring foreign lands. It's themed to resemble the remote jungles in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America and the South Pacific. Adventureland contains classic rides such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise and Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, a walk through of the Swiss Family Treehouse, and The Magic Carpets of Aladdin.

Frontierland

Follow the strums of the banjo music and the smell of the smoked turkey legs and it will lead you to the old-time wild west of Frontierland. Here, guests can relive the American Old West, from the romanticized cowboys and Native Americans, to exploring the mysteries of the Rivers of America. It contains classic attractions such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, and the Country Bear Jamboree.

Liberty Square

As you enter Liberty Square, you're stepping into the colonial era of America. The brick covered buildings are reminiscent of Williamsburg, Virginia and there's a replica of the Liberty Bell. This land is unique to the Magic Kingdom, as there are no other Liberty Squares in any other Disney theme park in the world. It is also the smallest land by guest area in the Magic Kingdom. One of the most popular attractions in the Magic Kingdom, The Haunted Mansion, is located in this land. Presiding over the square is the Hall of Presidents, an American History show featuring an audio-animatronic figure of every President of the United States.

Fantasyland

Fantasyland is themed in a medieval-faire/carnival style, and in the words of Walt Disney: "Fantasyland is dedicated to the young at heart and to those who believe that when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true." Attractions include "it's a small world", Peter Pan's Flight, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Mickey's PhilharMagic, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, Journey of the Little Mermaid, Enchanted Tales With Belle, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, The Barnstormer, Princess Fairytale Hall, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and The Mad Tea Party. 

Tomorrowland

Tomorrowland is set in an intergalactic city, a concept of the future as seen from around the 1950s; rockets, UFOs and robots, etc. Tomorrowland is also my favorite place to be in all of Walt Disney World, especially at night. The retro-futuristic view of the future means that at night, Tomorrowland shines with neon colors and is just an amazing atmosphere to be in. Classic attractions include Space Mountain, Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress, Astro Orbiter, Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover and the Tomorrowland Speedway. Other current attractions include Stitch's Great Escape, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, and Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor.

As you can see, the Magic Kingdom is packed full of wonderful things. And after a long day spent here, how about ending the night with some fireworks?
