The Magic Kindom is the essence of Disney World and is divided into seven lands: Main Street U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Mickey's Toontown Fair. Many of the rides and shows are taken from the classic Disney stories, making this park enjoyable for children of all age levels, and particularly the younger ones. Guests participate in every part of the amusement, making it a unique interactive experience. 

Cinderella's Castle, the park's most famous landmark and icon, is located at the center of the park. The seven lands all surround this point and circle around the castle so guests are easily able to find the entrances to the different lands from this location. 

Sidewalk entertainment and music is provided by performers along Main Street U.S.A. throughout the day. The Magic Kingdom is a must for meeting and greeting Mickey Mouse and all popular Disney characters. If seeing the parades, appearances and concerts is a priority, pick up a guide map and a Times Guide at the entrance, which will have schedules for all of these. 

The Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is one of the most popular attractions, featuring a roller coaster with a gentler ride than most. Other popular attractions are: Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Mickey's PhilharMagic. Don't miss the Pirates of the Caribbean, featuring the infamous Capitan Jack Sparrow.

There are also plenty of shops, selling everything from memorabilia to food, including the famous giant turkey legs.
