Magic Kingdom



Theme Park:Magic Kingdom (since 1971)
Part of the Resort
Walt Disney World Resort
Address:Bay Lake

Operated by:Walt Disney Parks and Resorts



Magic Kingdom in Bay Lake, Florida, was the first theme park to open at Walt Disney World Resort in 1971. Inspired by the original Disneyland in California, the park took Walt Disney’s classic theme park concept and adapted it on a much larger scale. At its center stands Cinderella Castle, which has become one of the most recognizable symbols of Walt Disney World.

The park is divided into six themed lands, from the nostalgic Main Street, U.S.A. and the jungles of Adventureland to Fantasyland and the futuristic world of Tomorrowland. Many of Disney’s most famous attractions can be found here, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain, alongside newer additions such as TRON Lightcycle / Run. Parades, character encounters and the nightly fireworks over Cinderella Castle remain just as much a part of the Magic Kingdom experience.

More than five decades after opening, Magic Kingdom still represents the classic Disney theme park experience at Walt Disney World. Its combination of familiar attractions, elaborate themed lands and generations of Disney history makes it a park that continues to appeal to both first-time visitors and returning guests.
