INTRODUCTION -- The MAGIC KINGDOM, which covers 107 acres, opened on October 1, 1971. It's been dubbed "The Most Magical Place on Earth!" and is home to seven themed lands, and dozens of attractions that appeal to all ages.

WALT DISNEY WORLD

is a tribute to the philosophy and life of Walter Elias Disney...
and to the talents, the dedication, and the loyalty of the entire Disney organization that made Walt Disney's dream come true.

May Walt Disney World bring Joy and Inspiration and New Knowledge to all who come to this happy place...
a Magic Kingdom where the young at heart of all ages
can laugh and play and learn -- together.

-- October 1, 1971

LAY OF THE LAND: The Magic Kingdom is laid out like a wheel, with the hub centered directly in front of towering Cinderella Castle. Pathways act as the spokes leading to the following themed areas:

Main Street, U.S.A. -- Inspired by Walt Disney's memories of his hometown, Main Street U.S.A. is a re-creation of early 20th century small-town America, on a 7/8 scale. There are quaint shops, a town hall, fire station... even an old-style barbershop.

Adventureland -- An exotic mix of jungles, wild animals, pirates and a Middle Eastern bazaar, Adventureland is home to several of the Magic Kingdom's best-known and best-loved attractions, including Pirates of the Caribbean and Jungle Cruise.

Frontierland has all the adventure and excitement of the Wild West, including the wet wonders of Splash Mountain and the wild thrills of roller coaster Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Liberty Square honors this country's colonial heritage with the Hall of Presidents. It is also home to the ever-popular Haunted Mansion.

Fantasyland is the quintessential fairytale experience with castles, princesses, pixies and boys who won't grow up.

Mickey's Toontown Fair is THE place to meet Mickey, Minnie and the gang up close and in person. Geared specifically to the littlest park-goers, there's even a kid-sized coaster, The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm.

Tomorrowland is a look at the future where you can battle aliens at Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, or hurtle through the universe on a high-speed coaster at Space Mountain.

KIDS AND CHARACTERS

Magic Kingdom is THE place for children to meet and greet their favorite characters. Consult your daily Guide Map and Times Guides for times and locations.

What's New?

Crystal Arts -- This shop, which sells Arribas Brothers crystal items, is on site of the former Market House.

The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique -- A boutique salon that transforms little girls into Disney princesses with hairstyling, make-up, and manicures. This location (the first boutique is located in Downtown Disney's World of Disney store) opened in the Magic Kingdom in Cinderella Castle in September 2007.

The Laugh Floor Comedy Club -- Guests find the power of laughter in an engaging and interactive new adventure inspired by Disney-Pixar's "Monsters, Inc." as they match wits with the one-eyed hero Mike Wazowski and his friends. The attraction debuted in Tomorrowland in March 2007.

Dream along with Mickey, the new Castle Forecourt Stage Show, replaced Cinderellabration. It debuted September 30, 2006.

NEW "immersive experiences" throughout the Magic Kingdom during Disney's extended "Year of a Million Dreams":

-- Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial (Adventureland). Train to become a pirate. Looking for new recruits, Captain Jack and his mate Mack lead guests through a series of pirate skill tests to prove their mettle. Who is craftiest at wooden swordplay? Who can flash their most menacing pirate grimace? Faster than you can say "Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, the Pirate's Life for Me," the big moment arrives: getting officially sworn in with the Pirate's Oath to become honorary buccaneers of Captain Jack's famous Pirate Crew.

-- Woody's Cowboy Camp (Frontierland). There's a rootin' tootin' good time in store as Woody, Jesse and Bullseye invite everyone to Woody's Cowboy Camp! Ridin' in on a wagon are some of their best cowpoke pals, along with Sam the Singin' Cowboy who leads a rollicking hoedown. Led by Bullseye and saddled up on wooden stick horses, kids giddy-up their way through a cowboy obstacle course -- maneuvering around parents donning hats shaped like cacti, mountains and mine shafts. It's kick-up-your-spurs, hootin' and hollerin' fun as the cowboy spirit comes to life on the dusty streets of Frontierland.

-- "Main Street Family Fun Day Parade" (Main Street, U.S.A.). For the very first time, guests will be able to parade down Main Street, U.S.A. alongside favorite Disney characters. For guests it's a pennant-waving, drum-beating rush as they join characters as they march alongside parade floats, a marching band and an old-timey fire truck. To accommodate little paraders and their parents there's even a stroller drill team. When the parade hits Town Square, guests join the performers gathering around the center of Town Square for a flag-waving patriotic finale.

Disney's Dreams Come True Parade replaced the Share a Dream Come True parade in the summer of 2006 (the latter debuted in October 2001).

What's Next?

Mickey's Pirate and Princess Party -- A world of Pirates and Princesses in a special after-hours party -- Pirate and Princess Parties extended through June 4! A treasure map leads feisty buccaneers and pretty princesses on a trek through Magic Kingdom seeking colorful beads and encounters with favorite Disney characters. Youngsters can explore themed pirate coves and princess courts overflowing with special entertainment, dance parties, plus favorite attractions are open throughout the evening's festivities. Also featured: the "Enchanted Adventures" parade and a special fireworks show.
