Magic Kingdom

​

Having been aboard the Monorail for quite some time now, we detect ourselves soaring past the Seven Seas Lagoon and through the Contemporary, i of the virtually thrilling experiences in all of Walt Disney World. A sudden burst of excitement fills the air as a young child bursts from her seat and rushes to the window, pointing excitedly at something outside. Looking out the window, we notice that she has been the beginning to spot the Magic Kingdom itself, its wondrous mountain ranges and endless gleaming structures dotting the horizon. The whole cabin tin can't help from smiling at her effulgent face.

The crown precious stone of the Walt Disney Globe Resort, the Magic Kingdom is where the magic of dreams coming true begins. Inspired by, and building upon, the legacy of its Californian counterpart, the Magic Kingdom is a remarkable design in immersion and focus on the Guest Experience. If at that place'south one thing that the Magic Kingdom prides itself over, it's the fact that everything is a form of storytelling. We, the audience, will physically experience one run a risk subsequently another, seldom as spectators, but almost always as "participants" in the drama. Every bit I described earlier, the Magic Kingdom, like its fellow parks, is a seamless, thematic ballsy. The harmonic alloy of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy act in compliment of the wild fauna, alien creatures, and storybook castles waiting beyond the front gate.

The park gets closer and closer until we finally come up to a complete finish at the Magic Kingdom monorail station, located to the western side of the park'south entrance (with the PeopleMover station on the eastern side). Walking down an entry ramp, we approach the main entrance, having already purchased our tickets. The park's turnstiles is the starting time of what will be many fanciful details located throughout the resort -- svelte and elegant, made of wrought-iron. We hand our ticket to a smiling Cast Member and pass through the turnstiles, a little bell sounding off as we enter. What nosotros find is a truly stunning sight…

Main Street, U.s.A.

​

What was America like at the turn-of-the-century? Mayhap it was something like this recreation of everyone's hometown. The nostalgia of Main Street, U.S.A. hits u.s. right out of the gate… literally. One time through the ornate turnstiles, we glimpse the sight of a turn-of-the-century train station, fronted by a beautiful flower bed, complete with a floral depiction of Mickey Mouse's smiling face right in the middle. A window in the middle of the station is dedicated to the man who started it all, Walt Disney. It was installed in 2001 to mark Walt'south 100th birthday.

Suddenly, we hear the familiar call of a steam whistle. A beautiful steam engine chuffs its fashion along the rail, halting with a hiss. The beauty and grandeur of steam travel is captured in the romance and excitement of the Walt Disney World Railroad, a grand-circle tour of the Magic Kingdom.

"Your attention, delight. The Walt Disney World Railroad is now boarding for a grand-circle tour of the Magic Kingdom, with stops at Main Street, UsaA., Frontierland and Fantasyland. All aboard!"

​

From aboard the Walt Disney World Railroad, we view the many sights and sounds along the track, giving u.s. a sneak peek at what the Magic Kingdom has in store: an ancient jungle, a bustling circus, a burning settler's cabin. All the things nosotros come across are pointed out to us by a heard-merely-not-seen old-timer, who fully embodies the traveling vagabond "everywhere-I-hang-my-hat-is-domicile" spirit.

Trains are scheduled to make it every 5 to 10 minutes at most times throughout the twenty-four hour period, and travel clockwise around the park. The iv meticulously restored, working narrow-gauge engines are named for the people who helped make this place possible: the Walter E. Disney, the Lilly Belle, the Roger E. Broggie and the Roy O. Disney.

In addition to all the wonderful sights visible from the Walt Disney World Railroad, there are two special places that 1 can just visit by riding this train. Between Frontierland and Fantasyland, the rockwork of Columbia Gorge on the edge of the Rivers of America gives manner to Constellation Point.

​

Mainly consisting of fiber-optic effects and ethereal arrangements of Disney music, Constellation Point -- which takes place within a massive tunnel -- takes us by, well, constellations of classic Disney characters; specifically, those we shall come across in Fantasyland. In improver, the Tunnel of Constellations gives us sneak peeks at the rides whose buildings border the tunnel. Every bit we enter the tunnel, we tin can come across a sleeping Winnie the Pooh floating off into his dreamland, and as nosotros exit, we find that the dark sky has turned into an underwater fantasy. The sunlight shines downwards on the water, creating a mesmerizing event. We tin see Atlantica in the distance to the left of the railroad train, and a screen to the right features the silhouette of Ariel swimming past. We tin can even hear Ariel'southward voice, seemingly calling out to us…

​

Between the Fantasyland and Master Street stations, a daring view awaits: the City of Tomorrowland. This epic diorama runs quite the gamut. Once we pass past Space Mountain, we enter the diorama, not leaving until we've crossed the span over the Bandage Member parking entrance. In this diorama, we observe ourselves in a city not unlike the ane seen in the 2015 movie Tomorrowland, or peradventure in the sci-fi masterpiece City. Deco-Tech and futuristic technology, represented in static models and in special projections, fill our field of vision on both sides of the railroad train. It should look similar we are passing correct through an early 20th century science-fiction movie! And at the end of the tunnel, nosotros are brought from the future dorsum to the past. We have arrived back at Main Street Station.

Excitement mounting, nosotros pass underneath the railroad train station through one of ii tunnels located on either side of the flower bed. A plaque above each tunnel bears the inspired phrase:

"HERE Yous
Go out TODAY
AND ENTER
THE WORLD OF
YESTERDAY,
TOMORROW
AND FANTASY." ​

An iconic attribute to any Magic Kingdom, posters line the tunnel walls, offering a gustation of the coming attractions and adventures. Each tunnel has different posters, so it's non uncommon to run across hardcore Disney fans start the mean solar day by inbound through one tunnel, and end it by exiting through another, just so they can run across them all.

Beyond these tunnels is Main Street, UsA. itself…

​

The sights and sounds of fun nostalgia are everywhere...and I do mean everywhere. There'due south a friendly greeting at the old City Hall. The measured step of the horse-fatigued streetcar as it trots up and downwards the street. And so there'south the hiss of live steam as a vintage locomotive pulls into Main Street Station. Dozens of happy guests walk upwards and down the street, chatting happily, or not-so-happily, amongst themselves equally they pop in-and-out of the various shops and restaurants nestled along the sides of the pavement. Chief Street is the essence of hometown America at the dawn of the twentieth-century. The scent of freshly broiled cakes and candies and the twinkling pin lights outlining the gingerbread trim of the colorful buildings evoke a small-town atmosphere. Rows of specialty shops deport a colorful variety of old-fourth dimension merchandise. At nighttime, the thoroughfare glows in the flickering lite of gas-lit streetlamps and seemingly thousands of miniature electrical lightbulbs strung amongst the sides of the buildings. Principal Street, U.South.A. is engaging proof that the best of yesterday tin however be found today.

Time seems to soften amid the orchestral rhythm of ragtime and the clopping of equus caballus hooves. As the stress of contemporary life gives way to the quaint charms of yesteryear, nosotros find ourselves in a footling boondocks at the plow-of-the-century. Main Street, U.s.A. is a sparkling thoroughfare presented in the way and architecture of a street not different what you'd notice in the history books of the early 1900s, taking inspiration from not only Walt's adolescence home of Marceline, Missouri, but besides taking influences from around the country, such equally New England and the Midwest. All around united states of america is the color and excitement of a town at the start of a assuming new century, at a time when electricity, transport and communication are well-nigh to modify everything nosotros know about the way we live our lives.

Our time on Primary Street, United states of americaA. begins in Boondocks Square, the civic hub of transportation and gathering. In the center of Town Square is Elias Park. Well-kept lawns and vibrant planters surround a tall flagpole, from which the Stars and Stripes proudly moving ridge. A Magic Kingdom tradition since 1971 is the moving, yet understated, Flag Retreat Ceremony held every evening, but before sundown, at the base of the flagpole. Sat beneath the cool shade of tall trees, aptly placed benches provide ample seating for the ongoing amusement throughout the mean solar day.

Of course, no Town Square would be complete without an advent or ii from the world famous Disney characters. Throughout the twenty-four hours, starting promptly at 9:00 a.m., Mickey and the gang -- that's Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Oswald, Goofy, Pluto, Scrap and Dale -- are there, eager to welcome guests to a day of fun and excitement hither at the Magic Kingdom! Although their main meet 'n' greet location is right here in Town Square, they also make occasional appearances in the other vi areas of the park, in advisable costumes (safari gear for Adventureland, Western cowboy gear for Frontierland, Tinseltown finery for Hollywoodland, colonial attire for Liberty Foursquare, either wizard outfits or royal attire for Fantasyland, and astronaut suits for Tomorrowland).

​

In Boondocks Square, the Master Street Vehicles are the major ways to get around. We can board an old-fashioned Fire Engine, Paddy Wagon, Horseless Carriage, Jitney, Omnibus, or Horse-Drawn Streetcar, for a i-style trip to the middle of the Magic Kingdom via Master Street, U.S.A. To choose a mode of transportation, each vehicle has a designated stopping zone marked by a decorative sign. The Chamber of Commerce offers Disney's "Package Pickup" service. City Hall is the home of Guest Relations. Friendly bandage members are always on hand to respond questions, provide touring tips, brand reservations and assistance visitors with special needs. The adjacent Burn Station provides a glimpse at a period facility of the sort, housing a real fire engine. A Locker Facility can also exist establish in Town Foursquare, on the offset floor of the train station.

Like the various Main Streets of the existent globe, Main Street, U.Due south.A. is populated with "real," conceivable people. The so-called Citizens of Main Street walk the street in stride, a living snapshot of the optimism, humor and pride of the American Dream. Amongst the many Citizens, the e'er-friendly Mayor is always fix with a smile and a joke; the local Fire Chief and Police Master are always looking out for danger (although in the Magic Kingdom, the simply dangerous thing is someone not having fun); and a Suffragette oftentimes marches the streets, rallying people to support the crusade.

A band concert in the park was a mutual civic diversion of small boondocks American life at the plough-of-the-century. The Magic Kingdom Philharmonic hearkens back to that time with their daily concerts in Town Foursquare. The iconic programme includes energetic musicians, synchronized marches, popular songs of the early on twentieth century, and songs of the Disney Canon. The world-famous Dapper Dans frequently perform in Boondocks Foursquare to welcome u.s. as we enter the park. Their four-office harmonic repertoire includes barbershop ballads as well as many memorable tunes from the world of Disney. At sure times throughout the morning, the Master Street Trolley Evidence makes its mode "right downward the heart of Main Street, United statesA." , equally a chorus of energetic youths set the mood for the fun and excitement alee of us. Even better, the evidence changes with the seasons, adding a unique twist with each variation!

​

On a morn similar today, when Main Street is open early to guests, we are invited to leisurely wander through the area as we anxiously await for the residue of the Magic Kingdom to open, and feel its shops, exhibits and attractions, including round trips on the Walt Disney World Railroad and the first showing of Walt Disney: One Human's Dream.

Walt Disney might have washed more to touch the hearts and minds of millions of Americans than any other homo in history. He brought joy, happiness, and a universal means of communication to people of all nations. Certainly, our world shall know but i Walt Disney. In 1973, two years after the Magic Kingdom get-go opened its gates, The Walt Disney Story, a movie created by Jack Boyd and Beak Bosche, opened within the walls of the Boondocks Square Exposition Hall. This was a film in which Walt's life story was illustrated via a living photo anthology, complete with Walt himself narrating! But in 2001, for the "100 Years of Magic" celebration, information technology was announced that the almost xxx-year-old film would be replaced with a newer picture show, and the allure itself would receive a whole upgrade!

Just across the entrance, a number of scale models, statuettes and artwork harken to the man behind the mouse. The teal and white color scheme of The Walt Disney Story has been replaced by red carpet and golden walls. Even the plaques detailing the exhibits have changed to fit the theme, with wooden panelings and former-timey fonts. And speaking of, there'south a vast wealth of unique things on display: models, artwork, costumes, authentic motion-picture show and theme park props, awards (including the special Academy Honor Walt won for Snowfall White), even a few working animatronics -- for case, there's a bird from the Tiki Room y'all tin try your hand at controlling, and there's even the famous "Dancing Man" display that inspired Walt to brand Sound-Animatronics in the first place!

​

At the rear of the museum is the entrance to the theater; warmly-lit, with curtains hanging over the automatic doors. As a nod to the edifice's quondam tenant, the elaborate mural Bill Justice painted, a mural featuring the various animated characters from Walt's time in animation*, is nevertheless prominently featured! It is here in this theater, of form, that we sentinel a moving picture about the life of the man who started it all, narrated by Julie Andrews and Walt himself!

* The above pic is a picture of the mural every bit it appeared in 1986, in the wake of the release of The Great Mouse Detective. It was traditional, for a time, to update the landscape with the stars of Disney's latest blithe release, a tradition that stopped after Detective came to theaters. Thus, when the switchover occurred, the mural was re-painted to remove the post-Robin Hood characters, reverting back to the original 1973 mural design. ​

Simply that's non all! When the film switched from The Walt Disney Story to One Homo's Dream, they likewise turned the Disneyana Collectibles shop held within the edifice into The Disney Gallery. In a private collection of portraits, paintings, caricatures and sculptures, The Disney Gallery serves equally a showcase for the artwork of Walt Disney Imagineering and Blitheness, by and present. Special displays show rare storyboards from the Walt-era films, and Q&A sessions with Imagineers and artists happen on the occasion. Plus, if your wallet's fatty plenty, you can buy some of the items on display! Amidst the items on sale are paintings, express-edition prints, cels, figurines and the much-coveted Walt Disney Classics Collection.

​

Located to the left of the Exposition Hall is Tony's Boondocks Square Restaurant. To many Disney fans, this proper noun may sound familiar. This is considering this eating place is inspired by the same Tony'southward restaurant that served as the setting of ane of the about iconic scenes in Disney history: the moment when Lady and Tramp roughshod in dear on that "lovely bella notte." Inside this beautiful eating place, you'll find all sorts of Italian treats: pizza, paninis, antipasto, sausage, Italian wedding soup, salads, scampi, chicken parmesan, fettuccine, and, of course, spaghetti and meatballs. Plus, at that place'due south plenty of vino and birra to spare; and quite a few authentic Italian desserts.

​

From Town Square, nosotros head down Primary Street itself, a charming collection of storefronts and restaurants leading up to the park'southward Central Plaza. Just like all the other Principal Streets before it, the ground flooring buildings are built on a ix/10 scale, with the second and third stories progressively smaller - forced perspective at work. Like the credits in a movie, the windows on Main Street are used to honor those who have contributed to the creation and development of the Magic Kingdom. Among the patriotic bunting, swaying trees and musical stylings of Scott Joplin and George Gershwin, we embark on a nostalgic stroll down Main Street. Here we experience the simpler pleasures of pocket-size town America equally it were in the turn-of-the-century.

As with every other Main Street in the Disney pantheon, nosotros begin with the lavish Emporium , the largest mercantile in the park. Owned and operated by Osium "Osh" Popham (the grapheme Burl Ives played in the bottom-known Disney musical Summer Magic ) , this superstore evokes the amuse and elegance of a plow-of-the-century department store, with stained-drinking glass décor, gas chandeliers and sweeping rotundas in presentation of the goods and wares of a childhood dream. The clanging of cash registers matches the measured step of the passing Main Street Vehicles. Countless clothing racks and most-infinite rows of brandish cases line the tiled floor. Per tradition, storefront windows brandish vignettes from animated classics of Walt'southward time, all brought to life with animated figures and unique lighting and effects. A aureate plaque in forepart of each display briefly retells the story of the film. In addition, new music boxes have been placed in front of each display, playing a song from the film in question. But current of air it upward, and hear the music accompany the scene! Here are the half-dozen films represented in the windows, and the scenes presented therein.

You Can Wing! Yous Can Fly!"

Bagheera watches them from a tree co-operative...as do quite a few monkeys, who descend down from the trees to spy on the unknowing comport and Man-cub. / Music Box Song: "The Bare Necessities"
• The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh : In a scene from Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Mean solar day, the featurette that won Walt his last (posthumous) Academy Honour, Pooh and Piglet's "deeds of bravery and generosity" are celebrated, as Christopher Robin, Eeyore, Rabbit and Kanga use a blanket to toss them loftier into the sky. Tigger and Roo jubilantly bounce nearby, and Owl stands proudly, watching the proceedings. / Music Box Song: "Hip-Hip-Pooh-Ray!"

The Nikon Camera Center sits opposite the Emporium. The storied camera store offers hour-long moving picture development, cameras for hire, and on-site photo experts. Patrons tin can likewise pose for a souvenir portrait in early 20th century costumes in the attached photograph parlor. The music of a restored, antique player pianoforte carries into The Chapeau, found right next door, a haberdasher's paradise of hats and headgear, nearly notably the famous "mouse ear" hats, as designed by famous artist Roy Williams and first worn past the Mouseketeers of The Mickey Mouse Club.

​

Moving further east from The Chapeau, you lot'll find the southern archway to the Discovery Arcade. Running the length of Main Street'south eastern side, this glass-roofed arcade is an eternal tribute to those who had imaginative, and sometimes baroque, ideas and inventions for the futurity. From ingenious patents to dreams of a utopian globe, it's all here to run across, with startling posters depicting what prominent American cities could wait like in the time to come and display cases filled with visionary gadgets. The turn of the century gave those of the time a feeling that anything "can, and will" be achieved by homo. The Discovery Arcade pays homage to these cracking minds, from their ingenious yet humble patents to their wildest dreams of futuristic cities. The Discovery Arcade is a nod to the never-congenital Edison Square concept made for Disneyland in California. While less ambitious, it does portray the amuse of early 20th century living and offers a fun glimpse into what people of the time were using to improve their lives.

Not only that, only there are also relics and models from the 1904 Globe's Fair in St. Louis, which piqued the imagination of a young Walt Disney, given that his father worked for it. Just perhaps the near beautiful chemical element of the Discovery Arcade is the Winter Garden.

It'due south the perfect way to become away from the crowds and just take a load off for a while!
