Magic Kingdom

The first park to open at Walt Disney Resort in Orlando (in 1971) is also the most iconic, and is forever visually conjured up with the image of Cinderella's Castle. Just over 20 million visitors per year have made it the world's most visited theme park for the last decade. Six "lands" within the park offer a wide variety of fantastical experiences through rides, cinematic experiences, and attractions: from Main Street with its parades and showcases of the best-loved Disney characters and the medieval antics of Fantasyland to the space-themed rides and futuristic wonders of Tomorrowland. 25,000 acres, dozens of world-class rides, and one globally famous nightly fireworks show—it really could be the happiest place in Earth.
