Fantasyland
Fantasyland is one of the "themed lands" at the many Magic Kingdom-style parks run by The Walt Disney Company around the world. Each Fantasyland has a castle as well as several gentle rides themed after Disney movies.
Disneyland
Fantasyland at Disneyland features thirteen attractions. The land features a central courtyard dominated by King Arthur's Carrousel, in front of which sits a sword in an anvil; several times each day a costumed Merlin helps a child pull the sword from it. In 1983, Fantasyland received a major facelift and the attraction facades changed from medieval tents to unique buildings themed to the movies upon which the dark rides were based.
Fantasyland's main entrance is through Sleeping Beauty Castle, which has a separate walkthrough attraction that opened in 1957 but closed in 2001 after the September 11 terrorist attacks for security reasons.
