How big is Magic Kingdom?

[DLMAGICDARREN]

Thanks Tiggerman, Like I said I'm in denial. I guess it's so much more spread out is why, but Disneyland still feels bigger to me.

I know the MK castle is much larger, perhaps that helps the illusion that 107 MK acres feels smaller then 85 DL acres. Who knows?

How many acres is Magic Kingdom? I forever hear about how Disneyland is 85 acres but it leads me to wonder how big is Magic Kingdom?

The 1st trip to WDW that I can actually remember was in 1988. I remember the person running the tram PA said that you could fit Disneyland inside the MK parking lot & still have space left over for 100 cars.

I know it's an old thread, but...

You could also fit the Magic Kingdom in the MK parking lot.

I don't know about the actual size, but I believe it's smaller than Animal Kingdom.

It's true. MK is just over 100 acres (not sure if it went up with NF), Disneyland is 87, Disneylsnd Resort is about 160 or so, Epcot is 300ish and AK is 500ish

MK used to be 107 acres, but now since the added New Fantasyland, it is now 133 acres. (I am the ultimate WDW researcher).
And also..SB castle it DL is 89 feet, whilst Cinderella Castle in MK is 189.

and we have the "reader's digest" version of PoTC

True. I've been on PoTC in DL and DLP, we definitely got short changed.

You would be correct. All three of the other theme parks can fit inside AK with room to spare. Wikipedia says 107 acres. But you know, it's wikipedia.

The space where NFL is located is in the center of the existing MK. It's where 20K was located. It's the same land area...no increase in size because of it.

Didn't know if backstage embiggened to fit it or something but I suppose that doesn't count
