Fantasyland - Disney's Magic Kingdom Park

Highlights of Fantasyland include Ariel’s Grotto, a meet and greet area that features characters from The Little Mermaid; Cinderella’s Golden Carousel, a fully restored 1917 carousel; Dumbo the Flying Elephant, an aerial adventure that spins high over Disney’s Magic Kingdom; it’s a small world, a fascinating boat ride that magically transports you through the countries of the world through song and dance; Mad Tea Party, giant teacups that spin wildly around a colorful arena; The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, a whimsical adventure through the Hundred-Acre Wood; Mickey’s PhilharMagic, a 3-D “symfunny” of fun that features many of your favorite Disney characters; Peter Pan’s Flight, where you can soar high above London on your way to Never Land; and Snow White’s Scary Adventures, a fun-filled ride through classic scenes from Disney’s original full-length animated movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
Cinderella Castle itself is the site of the Wishes Nighttime Spectacular, a spectacular fireworks display that takes place on special nights at Disney’s Magic Kingdom.
