Simple question: What's your favorite land at the Magic Kingdom?
When I was young many decades ago, the answer was easy: Tomorrowland. Although the Apollo missions were winding down, space was still very much on a lot of brains. Tomorrowland won by theme alone.
Got a bit older and it became Adventureland. Swiss Family Robinson still had relevance so the tree house was cool, Tiki had that Walt Disney connection, and nothing felt more "Walt Disney World" than Pirates of the Caribbean.
After a hiatus of several years to have children, just being on Main Street USA with our young olds felt special. Everything wowed them, didn't need any rides. We spent hours just happy to be there.
They got a bit older and it definitely was Fantasyland. It's a Small World, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, Dumbo, and others all were special experiences.
As they passed the 40-inch mark, our favorite became Frontierland/Liberty Square. Big Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain became their first "big kid" roller coasters, while they finally were ready for Haunted Mansion. I fondly remember my son's happiness at the throwback Shooting Arcade.
So, at one time or another, pretty much every land was a favorite. Today, I'd have to say it's Main Street USA. Having been on every attraction dozens of times, just being there is enough.
What's your favorite Magic Kingdom land?
And no cheating by saying "All of them!"
