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 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.

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!
