At Disneyland, What is Fantasyland?
If you are a fan of traditional Disney cartoons, the Fantasyland area at Anaheim’s Disneyland Park is probably for you. By stepping through the enormous replica of Sleeping Beauty’s castle, guests enter a world of fairy tales, magic, and classic Disney style. Although most of the rides in this section of Disneyland are aimed toward children, they are enjoyable and often nostalgic for adult riders as well. Fantasyland was one of the original areas of the park, and contains many rides from the earliest days of Disneyland. Many of the rides are dark ride retellings of favorite Disney stories, where riders board small cars or boats that carry them through the entire story. The architectural style of the area is an interesting mix, from the medieval area surrounding the castle to the Bavarian-style buildings that house many of the rides and shops.
