The Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom is Disney World to many people but in truth it is only a part of the Disney World experience. This page will eventually allow you to click and find everything you need to know about the Magic Kingdom in one spot. Look for more links to be added soon.

The Magic Kingdom is the centerpiece of Walt Disney World. Some might assume its a place for children. Such people would not be wrong but they may not realize how much of child they still are at heart until the pass under those tracks and find themselves on Mainstreet USA.

Main Street USA: The gateway to the Magic Kingdom. Modeled after an early 1900′s small town visitors might be tempted to miss a lot of Main Street in a rush to get to the rides of the other lands but it is worth your time to stop and take a look.
