Magic Kingdom map The Magic Kingdom is divided into five 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 five lands consist of Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Liberty Square and Adventureland. 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 this parks 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 I'll miss the old version just the same. Most spectacular of all Disney's parks are the parades and fireworks displayed at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando. Most notably, the current combo of the "Wishes" fireworks show, and the perennial nighttime favorite, Spectromagic. If these two performances don't impress you, then you're already dead and no one's bothered to tell you. From a touring perspective, the Magic Kingdom can present some real challenges for those who want to experience the "magic" and not wait 90 minutes on each attraction to do so. As our site visitors have learned over the years, a good plan is probably the single most important tool you can use to get the most from your vacation. Especially if you plan to visit the Magic Kingdom during peak times. For online itinerary planner, click here. Magic Kingdom Rides and Attractions

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, drawing more yearly visitors than
any other.
