Fantasyland is one of the only places at the Magic kingdom where technology is not important. All the attractions are very simple, yet they are still able to tell a wonderful story, since all the rides here are themed to a Disney animated movie (with the exception of It's a Small World). So you can go to Neverland with Peter Pan and even to a Mad Tea Party. The entrance to Fantasyland is marked by Cinderella Castle. The castle which is over 180 feet tall, is a mixture of a medieval castle and a palace of the renaissance period. Inside the castle are glass mosaic panels which tell the story of Cinderella. The individual attractions in Fantasyland include The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, a delightful ride that takes guests through the hundred acre woods; Mad Tea Party, a dizzying ride where guests sit in twirling teacups; Peter Pan's Flight, takes guests on a trip to Neverland and back; Dumbo the Flying Elaphant, takes guests up into the sky; It's a Small world, a boat ride around the world in only 11 minutes; Snow White's Adventures, carries guests through Walt Disney's first animated feature; Cinderella's Golden Carrousel, one of the largest carrousels ever built; and Legend of the Lion King, a live show featuring puppets. The restaurants in Fantasyland include Cinderella's Royal Table, Pinocchio Village Haus, Lumière's Kitchen, The Little Big Top, Enchanted Grove, Mrs. Pott's Cupboard, and Hook's Tavern, and Scuttle's Landing. They serve everything from roast-beef sandwiches to ice cream. The shops are comprised of Kodak Kiosk, Tinker Bell's Treasures, The King's Gallery, Sir Mickey's, and The Seven Dwarfs Minig Co. They sell merchandise themed to Disney animated movies and characters.

Attractions

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a delightfully fun ride through the Hundred Acre Woods, the home of everyone's favourite silly old bear, Winnie the Pooh. Recreating scenes from the 1968 cartoon, "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day," the ride is jam packed with tons of special effects. As it begins, guests approach page one of the Blustery Day storybook, but the words are blown away as guests get closer. Rounding a corner, guests come upon several of Pooh's friends struggling to hold Piglet's scarf and keep him from blowing away. The wind is threatening to topple over Owl's treehouse, causing the walls to quake and shift as guests pass through it. In the middle of this, Winnie the Pooh somehow manages to fall asleep and floats off to dreamland literally, where he dreams of Heffalumps and Woozles. Guests pass by a swirling collage of these crazy and menacing, multi-coloured creatures who threaten to steal Pooh's honey. One of the most unique aspects of this ride is that when guests run into the one and only Tigger, their vehicle actually bounces up and down with him! Also, toward the end of the ride, when the Hundred Acre Woods is flooded, your vehicle bobs up and down as if it's floating. All of these little effects combine to create a truly Tiggeriffic attraction!

Pooh! heh heh heh I said poo!

It's a small world

It's a Small World, which originally premiered at the 1964-65 World's Fair in New York, is predominantly more popular with females. This is mainly because the ten minute ride is filled with Audio-Animatronic dolls representing dozens of countries. When guests are seated in their boats they embark on the happiest cruise that ever sailed 'round the world, although almost a little too happy! Throughout the ride, guests pass scenes depicting a country or area of the world. The scenes are portrayed using dolls dressed in costumes native to that area and partaking in activities enjoyed in that area. For instance, you can be sure to see little dutch clidren in wooden shoes, cancan dancers, bagpipers, gondoliers, yodelers, snake charmers, Japanes kite flyers, and many, many more during your voyage. Probably the most famous, or perhaps infamous, part of the attraction is the theme song, "It's a Small World (After All)" written by famous disney composers Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, which is sung throughout the ride by the dolls again, and again, and again! Be sure not to get it stuck in your head! One positive part of the ride is that since the attraction is so large and the ceiling seems miles away, there is so much to see and you will rarely see everything on one trip. See if you can name all the countries and areas

althoigh I have writen a good reviwe on its a small world it doest mean i enjoyed it (just to let Uncle Jeff know!)

Legend of the Lion King

Legend of the Lion King is a beautiful show featuring puppets, animation, and in-theatre effects. Before the show starts guests are presented with a pre-show wherein they meet Rafiki, the narrator, and see a clip from the beginning of the movie "The Lion King". Guests then move into the main theatre where the show is brought to life using very realistic puppets and beautiful sets. The scenes in the show are basically the same as the movie, including the exhilarating wildebeest stampede which uses animation from the film to make the scene just as thrilling and emotionally heart-wrenching. Along with the familiar characters from the movie, the show also borrows many of the movie's memorable songs, including "Circle of Life", "I Can't Wait to be King", "Hakuna Matata", and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?". Be forewarned that if your feet are tired and you would like to sit down, this is not the attraction for you, since along with waiting for awhile outside the attraction, the pre-show is lengthy and does not have seats.

Mad Tea Party

This ride is based on the unbirthday party in the animated movie, "Alice in Wonderland". Guests board teacups that spin out of control around a giant teapot that is home to the drowsy doormouse. The reason the teacups spin so dizzily is that one large turnatble spins all the teacups in one direction, while three smaller turntables spin three sets in the other direction.

A very happy un birthday to everyone!

Peter Pans Flight

Disney's 1953 movie, Peter Pan, was the inspiration for this attraction where guests ride in little pirate ships that run on an overhead rail. Once guests board , they are swooped out the bedroom window of John, Micheal, and Wendy Darling , and then flown over the twinkling lights of London. Guests fly past Big Ben and London Bridge complete with little moving cars. Then it's off toward the second star to the right, and straight on till morning . On arrival in Neverland guests pass many interesting sights such as Princess Tigerlily and the Indians, jealous mermaids, and Captain Hook's pirate ship where John, Micheal, and Wendy, and the lost boys have been taken captive. But rest assured that Peter Pan will show up and free everyone, leaving the pirates

Snow Whites Adventures

Snow White's Adventures tells the story of Disney's first full-length animated film. Guests ride in mine carts through many memorable scenes from the movie such as the wicked witch with her magic mirror, Snow White's flee through the forest, the dwarf's diamond mine, and the climactic fight between the dwarfs and the wicked witch. Parents of small children beware that many of the scenes in this ride may be frightening for youngsters.

Dumbo the flighing Elephant

In this ride guests board replicas of the elephant with giant ears and soar high and low around Fantasyland. In fact guests get to control whether the little elephant goes up or down using a button inside the car. In the center of all the flying elephants are pictures of the stork that delivered Dumbo, and watching over it all is Timothy J. Mouse
