The 6 Lands Of Magic Kingdom – History & Highlights

By SaraAuger

Magic Kingdom is a collective of 6 unique lands. Learn more about the 6 lands that make up Magic Kingdom, including highlights and history of each.

Main Street U.S.A.

Main St U.S.A. is where guests enter and exit Magic Kingdom. This area also opens earlier than the other lands to accommodate the welcome show at Cinderella’s Castle and closes later, allowing guests to browse shops on Main St up until an hour after park closing.

Walt Disney wanted guests to feel as though they are stepping onto any small town USA Main Street. Therefore this area is complete with a train station (Walt Disney World Railroad), a Fire Station (sign up for the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom here), a barber shop (Harmony Barber) and other findings you would see in a small town.

Guests will find many shops such as The Chapeau (for personalized Mickey Ears) and the Emporium (carrying a large selection of souvenirs). The famous Mickey’s Kitchen Sink Sundae can be found at Plaza Ice Cream Parlor and coffee from Starbucks can be bought at the Main Street Bakery. Say hi to the Citizens of Main Street and see the Main Street Vehicles.

Adventureland

Adventureland is themed after remote jungles from around the world, such as in Africa, Asia, South America, and the South Pacific. Walt Disney wanted guests to feel as though they are walking through a remote jungle, therefore the attraction Swiss Family Treehouse fits in perfectly with the theming. Other attractions in this land include: The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Enchanted Tiki Room, Jungle Cruise and the Pirates of the Caribbean. Adventureland is also home to Aloha Isle, your stop for Dole Whips at Magic Kingdom.

Frontierland

Guests step into the Old West of the 19th century when they enter Frontierland. Visit the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade and channel your inner Davy Crockett. This land also contains 2 of the famous Mountains at Magic Kingdom: Big Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain. Pecos Bill’s Tall Tales Café is an excellent quick service location in this land.

Liberty Square

Step back into colonial America times when you enter Liberty Square, filled with fascinating facts and history. Guests can see a replica of the Liberty Bell and Liberty Tree. Watch an audio-animatronic show of our U.S. Presidents at the Hall of Presidents. Take a ride through a 19-century mansion on the Haunted Mansion. Read, 5 things people do not notice in Liberty Square.

Fantasyland

“Here is the world of imagination, hopes and dreams. In this timeless land of enchanment, the age of chivalry, magic and make-believe are reborn – and fairy tales come true. Fantasyland is deciated to the young-in-heart, to those who that when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true”. – Walt Disney (1955)

Fantasyland was said to be Walt Disney’s favorite. Fantasyland underwent a massive expansion, that was complete by 2014 adding such entertainment as: Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid, Enchanted Tales with Belle and more plus the eatery Gaston’s Tavern. This land is also home to classic attractions such as Dumbo, Peter Pan’s Flight and it’s a small world. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is one of the hardest Fastpass+ to get in Fantasyland. Step inside fun shopping locations such as Big Tops Souvenirs (themed after a circus tent) or Bonjour Village Gifts (featuring Beauty & The Beast merchandise) and more.

At the end of Main St U.S.A. and located in Fantasyland is the parks icon, Cinderella’s Castle. Look to Cinderella’s Castle in the evening for nightly fireworks.

Tomorrowland

“Tomorrow offers new frontiers in science, adventure and ideals: the Atomic age…the challenge of outer space… and the hope for a peaceful and unified world”. – Walt Disney (1955)

Walt Disney often looked to tomorrow, and dreamed of what could be, Tomorrowland is a reflection of this. Here guests will find the futuristic third Mountain, Space Mountain. Other favorite attractions include: Astro Orbiter, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, Carousel of Progress and more. Cool down at the Cool Ship Cooling Station or listen to the sounds of Sonny Eclipse at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café and more.

Learn more about the Walt Disney World Parks including attractions, secrets, tips and more. Plus my friends at Destinations in Florida can help you plan your perfect Walt Disney World vacation.

Kristen B’s Disney Fund Deposit 6/23

By Kristen on June 23, 2018 at 6:01 pm

Welp, this was unexpected.

With a few dollars to go until we hit our savings goal, I asked ya’ll to predict when we would hit that happily ever after goal. I even offered the winner a signed photo of Kristin Cooper, the fairy godmother behind Couponing to Disney.

There were guesses for May 26th. May 27th. May 28th. Do you see where I’m going with this? Every reader that responded believed that we would be swimming in a pool of money ala Scrooge McDuck by June. But here we are. In June. And…we haven’t hit our goal yet.

I know! I’m as shocked as you are. How did this happen?

May was a slow earning month for us. What with one thing or another, barbecues and end of school celebrations and soccer games, our entire grocery budget was eaten up. Literally. My app earnings went to unavoidable things like graduation presents, soccer fees, and teacher presents. Normally, these things are taken care of well in advance, but the Christmas and Easter clearance sales were none too kind this year on teacher gifts. And let’s be real, no high school graduate wants a gift closet gift I got at the Toys R Us liquidation sale.

The good news is, we stayed within our budget for all things. Yes, we may have had to dip into the app earnings a little more than we liked, but we didn’t have to go without or move any money around from other budgets. I’ll confess, as I started writing this I was tempted to just move some money from the entertainment fund into the Disney Fund and go, “Hooray, we did it!”

But that’s not why we have budgets, or separate funds. It is the summer. The time of fun, sun, and more fun! How could I justify taking money out of the entertainment budget? The ‘Incredibles 2’ isn’t going to watch itself! Those swim lessons can’t be paid for with Landry’s gift cards. I’ve talked before about how tempting it is, when you get into a savings groove, and forget that there are enjoyable things in life outside of future Disney vacations. In the wise words of Albus Dumbeldore, “It does not due to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” Loose interpretation: don’t get so crazy about vacation that you make your daily life terrible.

My sole deposit this week is small, but mighty. The Nielson company sent our household a very simple survey. Enclosed with the survey were two crispy dollar bills. An incentive, the letter said, to fill out the survey. Upon receiving the completed survey, we would be sent another cash compensation. At first I was a teeny, tiny bit embarrassed that all I had to show for my deposit this week was $2.

The more I thought about it, though, the more it seemed like the kind of perfect metaphor for our savings journey. You do one small thing, and get one small return. But because of the ground work you laid, you get an ever bigger return down the line. Those two bills were just the inspiration I needed to finish the last leg of this race strong.

Total Goal: $3500

Last Week: $54.35

Total Deposit: $2, from Nielson survey

Still Need: $52.35

How do you keep inspired when you’re nearing the end of a long savings period? Are you ever tempted to shift money between budgets? Anyone want to take bets about when we’ll store away that remaining $52.35? Tell me about it in the comments!

Kristen B. is wife to the best Prince around, mama to the spunkiest little princesses, and lover of all things Disney. She started her savings journey three years ago and is now dedicated to making her family’s wishes come true one coupon at a time. She is so excited to take her love of saving to the next level and share her journey with you! Click here to catch up on Kristen’s Savings and join in on your own savings adventure!

Complete List of Attractions and Entertainment at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

By Kristen on June 22, 2018 at 7:19 pm

Are you planning a trip to Walt Disney World? Me too! And man, can it be daunting to decide which attractions, entertainment, dining, and special events are right for your perfect vacation. Walt Disney World does an amazing job at keeping their parks current, with new shows, parades, and attractions appearing on the regular. But it can be a lot to keep track of. Trust me, I know. My desk looks like a crime board right now, various touring itineraries connected by red string with post it notes adding additional information.

There’s a lot of buzz right now over Hollywood Studios with the opening of Toy Story Land and the coming of Stars Land, but don’t forget, we’ve still got some new stuff over at Animal Kingdom.

Pandora-the World of Avatar features two rides that are massively popular. Don’t believe me? Check out the wait for Flight of Passage on any given day this summer.There’s a brand new stage show with UP! A Great Bird Adventure. New character experiences like Donald’s Dino Bash and don’t forget about the gorgeous nighttime entertainment, River of Lights. What I’m trying to say here is, don’t sleep on Animal Kingdom.

Animal Kingdom has had an unfair reputation in the past of the most “skippable” of the Disney Parks. I once read a review that called it a “glorified zoo”. Well, let me tell you folks, those days are long done. With the addition of the World of Pandora and a variety of nighttime entertainments, Animal Kingdom saw its hours increase, making this a destination you could spend a full day at.

And you should. In addition to the Broadway caliber shows (seriously, Nemo is amazing), Animal Kingdom hosts some fantastic e-ticket attractions like Kilamanjaro Safaris, Kali River Rapids, and Expedition Everest to name a few. Princess fans have a rare chance to meet Pocahontas. And oh, did I mention there are animals everywhere? You want gorillas? Got ‘em. You want giraffes? Got ‘em. How about an okapi? Yep, got those, too. Between the animal sightings, kid friendly shows, and pulse pounding rides, you’re looking at a park that is great for every member of your family.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was some kind of master list about all the various goings on at Animal Kingdom? It would, wouldn’t it? Call me Genie, because your wish is my command.

Here’s what you get: the name of the attraction, the location, times (for shows and parades), height requirements, and whether or not they’re FastPass or Rider Switch eligible.

A quick note about making FastPasses at Animal Kingdom. The attractions at AK are divided into tiers. When choosing your FastPasses, you get one pick from Tier 1 and two from Tier 2. Just like at the other parks, once you use all three, you can make your next FastPass, and it can be from either Tier. You can use the MyDisney Experience app or the in park kiosks to book those additional FastPasses.

Please be aware, times will change based on season for most shows and parades, so I’ve listed here the general time you can expect to see them (AM or PM). Make sure you are checking the Disney site for exact times before you leave for your trip.Especially because of the animals, this park has more shifting schedules than the others. I have not included seasonal events, since those events have their own special entertainments and or events that you need to pay extra for, like special behind the scenes tours. Finally, Disney releases refurbishment schedules a few months in advance, so be sure to check before you leave to see if any of your favorites will be down during your trip.

As of June 21st, 2018 here are the current attractions and entertainment available at Animal Kingdom.
