| Origins: |
Fantasyland is
the most "Disney"-esque of all the themed lands,
taking its inspiration from many classic
Disney films including Dumbo, Snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Peter
Pan, The
Little Mermaid and many more. Fantasyland
is at the heart of the Magic Kingdom (as
it is in Disneyland), providing a symbolic
cornerstone not only for the park, but for
the entire world of Disney. |
| Updates: |
One of the premiere
opening day Fantasyland attractions was 20,000
Leagues Under the Sea, where guests boarded
submarines reminiscent of the Nautilus from
the classic Disney film for an underwater adventure.
Because of its labor-intensive operation and
maintenance, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea closed
in 1994. This space is now occupied by Ariel's
Grotto and the newly opened Pooh's Playful
Spot.
Another original attraction was Mr. Toad's
Wild Ride (an automotive romp to Nowhere in
Particular), which has since given way to the
Many
Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. |
