track dummy for the duration of the ride!
The
World Showcase is split into 11 areas around a
huge lake. Each area represents a country around

Magic
Kingdom
- Disney World
 Despite
being over 35 years old the Magic Kingdom is still
the King of the Orlando theme parks. If it is your
first time in Orlando then the Magic Kingdom is a
must see as it is a truly special place.
The
park is made up of a number of different lands all
of which connect to a central hub containing
Cinderella's castle.
The
three must do rides are Splash Mountain and Big
Thunder Mountain in Frontierland and Space
Mountain in Tomorrowland. Alien Encounter is not
your typical Disney attraction and if you are of a
nervous disposition its not recommended. Everyone
else will love it.
You cant visit the Magic Kingdom without going on
the it's a small world ride, once that tune is in
your head its stuck in there forever!!
