The MAGIC KINGDOM, covers 107 acres, and 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.  It has often been said that the true essence of Disney magic can be experienced simply by stepping foot inside the Magic Kingdom. Opened in 1971, the venerable theme park has withstood more than three decades of changing cultures, a constantly shifting social climate, and an explosion of technology that has left lesser places outdated and obsolete. Yet, somehow, the Magic Kingdom continues to remain the undisputed king of Theme Parks, attracting more anuall visitors than any other theme park.

How the Magic Kingdom has managed to maintain its charm and appeal over the years is a lesson in simplicity. It has stayed true to its original vision, a place where families could gather in a clean and safe environment to enjoy the time they spend together. No trip to Disney World is complete without visiting the Magic Kingdom. For veteran visitors to Walt Disney World, visiting the Magic Kingdom is like visiting an old friend.  To first time visitors, they find themselves quickly, and almost helplessly, transported back to their childhood. The Magic Kingdom is divided into seven distinct areas (lands), arranged in a spoke-like formation, all meeting at the top of Main Street USA right in front of Cinderella Castle. The seven lands consist of the following...

Main Street, U.S.A. 

Inspired by Walt Disney's memories of his hometown and 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.

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.

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.

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

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

Takes a look into 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.

Each land is themed to its appropriate title and maintaining that theme is paramount to the parks operation. A vast network of underground tunnels connect all sections of the Magic Kingdom, thus preventing guests from seeing any of the necessary "behind the scenes" operations, and preventing cast members from one land from having to walk through another. Well, that was the original idea anyway - recent changes to park policy now allow cast members to walk freely through the park in whatever outfit they happen to be wearing.  The Magic Kingdom contains some real "don't miss" attractions, depending on what age bracket you fall in.  One of the Magic Kingdoms strengths is the cross-generational appeal of many of it's better attractions.  Splash Mountain is a good example.  It's not unusual to see three generations of family members riding together.  Other favorites like Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise, and Haunted Mansion offer similar appeal to a wide range of visitors.  Space Mountain, while dated, is still one of the best attractions at the Magic Kingdom.  It is rumored that Space Mountain will soon go down for an extensive "update", and will likely be down for quite some time (the Disneyland counterpart was down for more than two years).  I suggest you experience this attraction while you can - this is one of the last classics at  WDW to remain undisturbed for many years.  I trust the new version will be great, but the old version will be greatly missed just the same. One of the most spectacular events of all Disney's parks are the parades and fireworks displayed at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando at the end of every evening.known as ( Spectromagic)
