"Here is the world of imagination, hopes and dreams. In this timeless land of enchantment, the age of chivalry, magic, and make-believe are reborn, and fairy tales come true. Fantasyland is dedicated to the young at heart, to those who believe that when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true."  - Walt Disney

Fantasyland “Must See” Rides & Shows

Mickey’s Philharmagic:
This incredible 3-D show featuring Donald Duck is a genuine treat for the eyes and ears and should not be missed if The Magic Kingdom is part of your Orlando vacation plans. This Absolute Must See Fantasyland attraction is really more like a “5-D” movie as visitors experience sensations like wind and vibrations as well as smells that accompany the 3-D visual effects. Guests become so engrossed in the special effects, that they frequently don’t even realize the movie has expanded from it’s original stage screen to an almost 180-degree one. In addition to Donald Duck, some of the other Disney favorites included in this Fantasyland favorite are Flounder, Ariel, Simba, Alladin, Tinker Bell, Peter Pan and even Mickey! Many well-known Disney songs make up the soundtrack as well.
