The Magic Kingdom
Construction on the Magic Kingdom, which
is considered to be Florida’s most famous theme park and
also the most visited theme park in the world, began in
1967. The park was to be built with a design similar to
California’s Disneyland, which a few improvements. It’s
said that Walt Disney caught sight of a Frontierland
cowboy walking through Disneyland’s Tomorrowland and
wanted to make sure that the magic wouldn’t be ruined in
Florida’s park. In order for cast members to move
between the park areas without disrupting the various
themes, tunnels were constructed at ground level and
dirt was used to cover them, hiding them underground.
These tunnels were called Utilidors, or utility
corridors.
Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle
can be seen from just about any point in Magic Kingdom.
At sunset, it is illuminated by Vari-Lite lighting
fixtures surrounding the castle, producing a colorful
16.7 million colors. Popular belief suggests that the
castle can be taken apart if threatened by a hurricane.
This is entirely false; the castle is, in fact, designed
to easily withstand 110-mph winds and can handle most
hurricanes.
The castle is surrounded by a
moat; unlike Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle,
however, the drawbridge cannot be lifted. It has
twenty-seven towers, a restaurant, a suite [used as a
prize in Disney giveaways], and access to the Utilidors.
It also has an office, originally designed to be a suite
for Walt Disney and his family before his death.
Magic Kingdom is by far the top
favorite Disney park, and for good reason. This is where
the princesses dwell– Belle, Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine,
Aurora, Pocahontas, Snow White, and Mulan. It is broken
down into seven sections, and each one is a small world
all its own. Within each “world” are many different
attractions, all having to do with the theme of that
world. There are a total of forty-eight attractions in
Magic Kingdom.
The Magic Kingdom consist of the following areas:
Adventureland
Liberty Square
Fantasyland
Tomorrowland
Mickey's Toontown Fair
Frontierland
