This enchanting land brings the magic and wonder of famous childhood stories to life. Located just beyond Sleeping Beauty Castle, Fantasyland brings out the child in all of us with its imaginative rides, unforgettable characters and striking architecture.

The boundaries of Fantasyland will soon be expanded to take over the Carnation Plaza Gardens on Main Street USA in order to create a new experience called Fantasy Faire.  The village square will feature activites and entertainment, plus guests will be able to meet their favorite princesses.

At night, the stage will feature the same classic music and dancing that Carnation Plaza Gardens is famous for.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant (Opened: August 16, 1955) Fly in your own Dumbo vehicle. Keeping a firm grasp on the 'Magic Feather', Timothy Mouse oversees your flight from his vantage point at the center of the attraction's spraying water fountain. You'll want to take note of the 22-karat gold leafing that covers the light posts as well as the pulleys and gears that go into motion as you soar above Fantasyland. (If you have little ones who must ride, try to arrive early as this is a slow loading ride and lines can get very long.) Restrictions: Inaccessible to strollers. Guests in wheelchair/ECV must transfer.   Fun Fact: This ride was 'renovated' in 1990 by accident. It had been prepared for shipment to Disneyland Paris, when they discovered they did not need it as early as expected. So, it was installed in Disneyland (CA) and a new one was built and shipped to Paris.

it's a small world
(Opened: May 28, 1966)

The simplistic and catchy "Small World" tune is sung in different languages as you pass through the diverse lands. During Christmas, this attraction is completely transformed with a holiday theme. The dolls sing a special version of Jingle Bells for guests visiting this "winter wonderland." This classic attraction made its debut at the New York World's Fair and has been entertaining guests for 40 years.

King Arthur Carrousel (Opened: July 17, 1955) This ride is one of the largest carrousels in the world. It features 72 white carrousel horses that were handcrafted over a century ago, with no two being exactly alike. All of the horses move up and down as the carrousel revolves. Genuine metallic leaf is used, with 22-karat gold leafing covering the carousel spires. The story of Sleeping Beauty is told through a series of panels adorning the canopy. See if you can spot the lead horse Jingles. This is one of the original attractions. Restrictions: Inaccessible to strollers. Guests in wheelchair/ECV must transfer. Fun Fact: Most of the 19th-century horses now in place on King Arthur Carrousel were hand-carved in Germany and shipped to America. They were found by Walt Disney Imagineering scouts after six decades of neglect in Coney Island. Brightly painted and restored to their original splendor, they rode again in Fantasyland. -Back to Top-

Sleeping Beauty Castle (Opened: July 17, 1955 (facade) / Walk-through opened April 29, 1957)
This is the centerpiece of Disneyland. The castle towers height is 77' above the moat. There's a walk-through tour recreating the story of Sleeping Beauty. The design of the castle was influenced by King Ludwig II's royal castle of Neuschwanstein in Germany. The Walt Disney's family crest can be seen above the archway at the entrance. The castle is surrounded by a moat with graceful swans swimming about. The drawbridge does work, although it's only been used twice. The first time it was lowered to herald the opening of Disneyland in 1955, and the second time was in 1989 for the debut of the 'new' Fantasyland.
When taking a close look at the 22-karat gold leaf that covers the castle's spires, you’ll see that one was left undone. Walt Disney did this on purpose so that Disneyland will never be completed, as Walt wanted it. This is one of the park's original 17 attractions.
