Fantasyland

Fantasyland is the land that comes to most people's minds when you say Disney. Here Disney movies come to life. From the classic Snow White and Peter Pan attractions to the more modern Winnie the Pooh (which replaced Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in the late 90s). You can find the ever popular Its a Small World and Dumbo here too. Many of these attractions are almost exact copies of their Disneyland counterparts.

 

Geek's Thoughts & Suggestions

If you have young kids you will definitely want to go to Fantasyland as early in day as possible to try to avoid the lines. It is really a pain to wait in a 45 minute line for a less than 2 minute ride. Even slower moving is the endless Dumbo line at times. If you do not have little kids usually in the very late evening the lines are much more manageable..

** A Warning to the weak of mind, once you go on It's a Small World that song will be in your mind for a while (which really isn't too bad of a thing, LazyGeek says it is though) **

** Warning from the LazyGeek: The seats in the Lion King show are incredibly comfortable and the air conditioning makes for a perfect nap environment, but fight off the urge to sleep the show is must see. ** (The Philharmagic Seats feel more comfortable)
