Adventureland

Part jungle, part tropical island, with a desert oasis thrown into the mix, Adventureland is a combination of many types of lands. You enter Adventureland from Main Street by crossing a wooden bridge and will be immediately treated to authentic landscape and unique sounds.

Two of the most popular attractions in all of the Magic Kingdom are located in Adventureland: Pirates of the Caribbean and the Jungle Cruise. Many travelers know Adventureland as the spot with the best shopping in all of Disney World, thanks to the many name brands and Pirates of the Caribbean merchandise throughout.

Fantasyland and New Fantasyland

Based on Disney’s classic animated films, Fantasyland is a magical, whimsical place where your dreams can become a reality. To get to this land, simply walk through the iconic Cinderella Castle. In just the past few years, Disney has invested millions of dollars for their largest Magic Kingdom revamp yet: creating the New Fantasyland. Here you’ll see Storybook Circus, complete with a giggling gang of clowns, new rides like the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and new restaurants like the incredible Be Our Guest and adorable Gaston’s.

Frontierland

Take a step back into the old west with Frontierland. You’ll hear banjo music strumming and the delicious smell of smoked turkey legs wafting by. Whether you’re a thrill seeker who can’t wait to take on Splash Mountain, or looking for a rest on Tom Sawyer’s Island, Frontierland has tons of rides, attractions, shows, and shopping opportunities.

Liberty Square

Many people describe Liberty Square as one of the most low-key areas of the Magic Kingdom. It’s true that there are only three rides here, but the theming throughout Liberty Square is second to none. It’s a great out-of-the-way spot to grab lunch or simply take a seat, watch the riverboat go by, and relax in the middle of your exciting, bustling day at Disney World.

Main Street USA

When you first enter the Magic Kingdom from the front gates, you’ll walk through a tunnel that travels under the Walt Disney World Railroad and step right out onto American Main Street USA, which was created as a replica of a turn of the century main street. Complete with a City Hall and Fire Station, there are a ton of unique details here.

Though there aren’t traditional rides on Main Street USA, you will find great shops plus popular establishments like The Harmony Barber Shop. This real, working hair salon offers haircuts and mustache / beard trims. A popular choice here is the Baby’s First Haircut that comes complete with an official certificate to remember it as a “Magical Moment.”

Tomorrowland

Originally created to showcase the Imagineer’s ideas of the future, it became clear that updating this area of the Magic Kingdom would be costly and difficult. As a result, in the mid-’90s Disney changed tactics. It’s now the place where you can experience the “future” as depicted by sci-fi writers from the ’20s and ’30s. Indeed, it’s sometimes referred to as the “Future That Never Was.” You’ll see tons of neon, gleaming metal, and glass. In fact, you’ll even see metal palm trees that open and close as the sunlight increases and decreases. This is also the spot with some of the most thrilling rides and attractions of any of the lands.
