The most famous land in all of the Magic Kingdom has to be Fantasyland, the central point of the park. Cinderella's Castle is the entranceway to this park and leads you out into a land designed from an old fairy tale.
Fantasyland's center is Cinderella's Carousel, a testament to the ride the Disney girls were on while their father conceived his theme parks while sitting on a nearby bench. Dumbo is also at the center, where you can fly with the famous elephant. My family though swears that Disney pays people to stand on line as it always has a long wait. But worth it at least once.
Located on the border between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland are the teacups and Winnie the Pooh. The teacups are a fun ride, but I know my time with them is limited. I have motion sickness and it gets worse as I get older. So, I'm enjoying it while I can. Winnie the Pooh is a cute ride for the tots and/or Winnie the Pooh lovers. Most of us old timers at Disney have a love-hate relationship with it as it did replace the awesome, if underappreciated, ride known as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. This often has a two hour wait, so using Fast Pass is advised. Another definite Fast Pass ride is Peter Pan's Flight, in which you ride in enchanted pirate ships over London and Neverland, following the story of Peter Pan.
Snow White's Scary Adventures allows you to follow Snow White's ride and glow in the dark if you are wearing white. Mickey's Philharmonic plays all day. Donald and Mickey's sorceror hat takes the duck on a trip through some of Disney's best music scenes, all in 3-D. Enjoy "Be Our Guest," or "Part of Your World" or be apart of "The Sorceror's Apprentice."
For the last ride, I apologize in advance for putting the song in your head. Go ride the happiest cruise to ever sail around the world. Audio-animatronic children dress in traditional clothes of each nation and remind us that "it's a small world." It's a great trip and the line moves quickly. Unfortunately, the song does tend to get stuck in your head.
Food wise, there is a counter service restaurant known as Geppetto's which serves the usual fare. But if you're lucky enough, you might get a seat by the windows, which allow you to look out at "it's a small world." So, when you ride it, wave to the people. They love it and it's Disney--everyone waves back! For sit down service, there is King Stephan's Banquet, which is a meal with the princesses. However, since it is so popular, the serving quality suffers. We barely had anything to eat at our character breakfast. For snacks, Mrs. Pott's cupboard has you covered with delicious ice cream.
Side note about Top Model: Thanks to the other person who agrees with me that Sutan should be America's Next Top Model!
