Fantasyland — Local services in Anaheim

Fantasyland at Disneyland is truly where the magic comes to life! 🌟🏰 The moment you step through the castle gates, you feel like you've entered a fairy tale. The attention to detail in the design of the buildings, the colorful flags, and the cobblestone streets makes you feel like you’ve been transported straight into a Disney movie.

The Sleeping Beauty Castle serves as the centerpiece, and walking through it feels surreal. The walkthrough features beautiful dioramas of the story of Sleeping Beauty — the colors, music, and atmosphere make it a truly magical experience.

Fantasyland is home to some of the most iconic and classic Disney rides. Peter Pan’s Flight is a must-do — the sensation of "flying" over London and Neverland is simply magical. It’s a Small World is colorful and heartwarming, with that famous song you can’t help but hum along to. Snow White’s Enchanted Wish is beautifully updated, and the spooky forest section adds a little thrill. Dumbo the Flying Elephant is always a hit for both kids and nostalgic adults.

The Mad Tea Party with the spinning teacups is vibrant and fun — the lights and music at night make it even more magical. King Arthur Carrousel is beautiful and feels like a true classic, with its intricately painted horses and elegant music.

The Storybook Land Canal Boats and Casey Jr. Circus Train offer a charming and peaceful ride through miniature versions of Disney castles and landscapes — a hidden gem when you need a little break from the crowds.

Fantasyland also has some great character meet-and-greets. You can often spot Disney princesses like Cinderella, Aurora, and Snow White walking around, and the Royal Hall is a great place to meet even more. The Fantasyland Theater also hosts fun live performances featuring beloved Disney characters.

The food options are also solid — Red Rose Tavern serves delicious flatbreads and burgers, and you can’t miss the churros and popcorn stands scattered throughout the land.

Fantasyland can get quite busy during peak hours, but the charm and nostalgia make it worth the wait. Whether you're reliving childhood memories or creating new ones, Fantasyland is truly the heart of Disneyland's...

Ever since I was a child I was madly in love with Fantasyland because it is a child's dream come true. It has the most of the classic Disney rides here as well as shops and eateries.

Most people like to enter through Sleeping Beauty castle so you can get a good look at the things surrounding you. Directly in front of you is King Arthur carousel with the tradional "sword in the stone." A great photo op if you want to try to "pull" it out. That area is surrounded by Peter Pan's flight, Snow White's enchanted wish, Bippity boppity boutique, and Pinocchio's daring journey.

Moving on you will encounter Casey Jr Circus train, Mr Toad's wild ride, the mad tea party, Alice in Wonderland, and Storybook land canal boats. Two of the more popular attractions are "It's a small world" and the Matterhorn. Dining is limited here. I did stop in Red Rose tavern but saw nothing that interested me. Another popular spot is the Troubadour Tavern for snacks.

Since this part of the park is very family oriented with small kids it does get crowded very quickly. It is best to visit either first thing in the morning or during a parade when kids are enjoying that. Wait times seem to be shorter then.

Expect frequent closures of popular attractions here as they are always upgrading or performing maintenance here. Nevertheless, no trip to Disneyland would be complete without a visit to...

We had such a magical time! My 7-year-old son absolutely loved it and was so excited to try almost every ride around the castle area. Each ride was full of fun, adventure, and perfect for kids his age.

The atmosphere near the castle is beautiful and really captures the Disney magic. Seeing his smile and excitement made the whole visit unforgettable. This is definitely the perfect place for kids to explore, enjoy, and create amazing memories. We can’t wait...
