This is what
most people think of when they hear the name Disney World® -
and this is the original, and still the centerpiece, of what is now the Walt
Disney World
Resort. While the displays and adventures are constantly changing, the Kingdom
is segmented into the following adventures:
This is an authentic
steam train which runs around the Magic Kingdom giving its passengers a good
scan of the entire park. There are stations located at strategic sites around
the park.
As the name
implies, Tomorrowland is all about an imaginary future - a quasi science fiction
set of adventures (Disneyspeak for rides). Adventures include Astro
Orbiter, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin,
The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter, Tomorrowland Indy Speedway, Space Mountain,
The TimeKeeper, Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress, Tomorrowland Light and Power Co.
(a video arcade), Tomorrowland Transit Authority and Galaxy Palace Theater
(presenting live entertainment).
Frontierland
offers a variety of adventures, typically cast in the cloak of the Old West and
other outdoor venues. Adventures include Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (an
unusual roller coaster ride), Country Bear Jamboree (live entertainment), Splash Mountain
(water flume ride), Frontierland Shootin' Arcade, Tom Sawyer Island (a great
adventure for the younger ones on your party) and Mike Fink Keelboats (slow,
scenic boat ride).
Based on
adventures of fictional characters, there are some adventures here you will undoubtedly
never forget. Such as: Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise and the Enchanted
Tiki Room. Of special interest to the younger ones is Shrunken Ned's Junior
Jungle Boats (Remote-controlled miniature boats). And, of course, the Swiss
Family Treehouse is a walk-through adventure with its own set of surprises.
A must-see here
is the Hall of Presidents (yes, they have added Mr. Clinton) which is a
theatrical presentation using animated mannequins, each representing a president
of the United States of America. Very well done and educating for all. Other
attractions include: the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon Revue (live entertainment),
the Haunted Mansion (a 'scary' funhouse) and two, rather sedate rides, Liberty
Belle Riverboat (an authentic stern-wheeler) and the Yankee Trader, an authentic
19th-century schooner.
