The Magic Kingdom at Disney

 Over the Summer months, our family visited The Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida. The Magic Kingdom is divided into 6 areas, each with a theme, with the rides following the theme. Each area is based on Walt Disney's original idea for the area. 

Adventureland

Adventureland represents the mystery of exploring foreign lands. It is themed to resemble the remote jungles in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America and the South Pacific, with an extension resembling a Caribbean town square. It contains classic rides such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Jungle Cruise.

Frontierland

Frontierland is where guests can relive the American Old West – from cowboys and Indians, to exploring the mysteries of the Rivers of America. Frontierland contains classic attractions such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, and the Country Bear Jamboree.

Liberty Square

This area of the park is based on an American Revolutionary town. The Magic Kingdom's Rivers of America hosts the Liberty Belleriverboat. Liberty Square is home to The Haunted Mansion and the Hall of Presidents.

Fantasyland

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." Fantasyland is themed in a medieval-fair/carnival style.

Attractions include "It's a Small World", Peter Pan's Flight, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Prince Charming Regal Carousel, and Mad Tea Party.

Tomorrowland

In the words of Walt Disney: "Tomorrow can be a wonderful age. Our scientists today are opening the doors of the Space Age to achievements that will benefit our children and generations to come. The Tomorrowland attractions have been designed to give you an opportunity to participate in adventures that are a living blueprint of our future."

Tomorrowland is themed to be an intergalactic city. Classic attractions include Space Mountain, The Carousel of Progress, Astro Orbiter and the Tomorrowland Speedway. Other current attractions include Stitch's Great Escape, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin and Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor.

Storybook Circus

Storybook Circus, part of the aforementioned Fantasyland expansion currently in progress, is expected to open in late 2012. It will be located at the former site of Mickey's Toontown Fair. Attractions will include The Great Goofini, and Dumbo the Flying Elephant, which will be removed from its current location in Fantasyland and an expanded duplication will be built here.
