Fantasyland
is one of the "themed lands" at the
many Magic Kingdom-type themed parks operated
by The Walt Disney Company around the world.
Each Fantasyland has a citadel as well as quite
a lot of moderate rides themed after Disney
movies.
In the words of Walt Disney: "Fantasyland
is dedicated to the young at heart and to those
who suppose that when you wish upon a star,
your dreams come true."
Fantasyland at the unique Disneyland
features a central courtyard subjugated by
King Arthur's Carrousel, in front of which
sits a sword in an anvil; several times each
day a costumed Merlin helps a kid pull the
sword from it. |

Walt Disney said, "What youngster has not dreamed
of flying with Peter Pan over moonlit London, or
tumbling into Alice's nonsensical Wonderland? In
Fantasyland, these evergreen tales of everyone's
teenage have become a reality for youngsters - of
all ages - to participate in."
In 1983, Fantasyland established a key
facelift and the attraction facades changed from medieval
tents to exceptional buildings themed to the movies
upon which the dark rides were based.
Fantasyland's main entry is through
Sleeping Beauty Castle, which has a divide walkthrough
Orlando attraction that opened in 1957 but closed
in 2001 after the September 11 terrorist attacks for
safety reasons.

The 4th Fantasyland to start
was in France at the Disneyland Paris attraction
theme park. |
Themed around a rural alpine Swiss
parish, with all the customary Fantasyland attractions,
this Fantasyland adds a Snow White stage show.
It is the most accepted land at Disneyland Paris.
A sole attraction is 'Les Pirouettes du Vieux Moulin'.
It is a ferris wheel based on Walt Disney's inventive
animated film, The Old Mill.
The concept was initially expected for Disneyland
in 1954, but was unnecessary then, only to be reconsidered
and built at Disneyland Paris more than 35 years
afterward.
