Welcome to ParksWiki, the Disney parks encyclopedia.
Magic Kingdom is a theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and, in most years, the most visited theme park in the world. Opened on 1 October 1971, it was the first park built at the resort and follows the plan Walt Disney pioneered at Disneyland in California: a central hub, a fairy-tale castle, and themed lands radiating outward. Its six lands — Main Street, U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland — hold some of the most famous rides ever built, including Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion.
