Magic Kingdom

Map of Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom is the heart and soul of the Disney empire. Although it is a small world after all, at just 107 acres (smaller, than any of Disney's other big three parks) Packed into seven different "lands" are nearly 50 major crowd pleasers, and that's not counting all the ancillary attractions: shops, eateries, live entertainment, Disney-character meet-and-greet spots, fireworks, parades, and, of course, the sheer pleasure of strolling through the beautifully landscaped grounds.

Many rides are geared to the young, but the Magic Kingdom is anything but a kiddie park. The degree of detail, the greater vision, the surprisingly witty spiel of the guides, and the tongue-in-cheek signs that crop up in the oddest places -- for instance, in Fantasyland, the restrooms are marked "Prince" and "Princess" -- all contribute to a delightful sense of discovery that's far beyond the mere thrill of a ride.
