Welcome to the Magic Kingdom!
Disney's Magic Kingdom is located in Orlando, Florida. The massive park is on 142 acres and divided into six different themed lands: Main Street, USA, Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Liberty Square, Frontierland, and Adventureland. Each land aims to immerse guests into a unique area celebrating different themes with attractions and experiences like no other.
Main Street, USA
As guests enter Magic Kingdom, they are transported to Main Street, USA. This land has been designed to look like an American town from the 1910s and draws inspiration from Walt Disney's hometown of Marceline, Missouri. We love visiting Main Street, USA, because of its charm, beautiful shops with magical window displays, and the food from restaurants such as Casey's Corner for hotdogs and the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor. There's so much to explore!
