On one hand, it’s easy to overlook the history behind all of the characters and attractions as you take that final plunge on Splash Mountain or race through the inky blackness of Space Mountain. But even a casual stroll through Fantasyland will remind you of all of the wonderful films and stories that inspired much of what you see. Peter Pan. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Alice in Wonderland. These classic films provide the inspiration for some of the most beloved attractions in Walt Disney World, and they (along the rest of the Disney cinematic library) are the foundation upon which everything we see rests. And that’s one of the things that makes Walt Disney World so magical—the realization that there is a rich history behind everything. This isn’t a mere amusement park; it’s an entire empire built on some of the most familiar icons and historic characters in movie history. The magic we experience isn’t just based on the things we see and hear in the parks; it’s also based on the memories that are rekindled when we are reminded of a favorite moment from a classic Disney film. Whether we’re taking a magical flight over London with Peter Pan or exploring a whole new world with Aladdin and Princess Jasmine, the chance to relive those special memories in a brand new way is something we will never forget. Of course, the cinematic traditions of Disney reach far beyond the retelling of familiar tales. Walking through the parks is like walking though a virtual movie set, whether you’re deep in the exotic jungles of Adventureland or traveling around the globe in World Showcase. No detail is overlooked, from the music and lighting to the sightlines and even the smells, creating a totally immersive experience that puts you in the middle of a far-off land. It’s no small wonder that Walt Disney World has a whole park devoted to the magic of the movies, because the magic of the movies is everywhere you look. (Before we start to explore, you may have noticed that we’ve grown by a few extra pages! I’m happy to introduce you to our newest columnist, J Darling, who will be sharing the magic and wonder of Disneyland in California, where the magic all started of course!) Now, on with the show!

Reatasy? “Fantasy and reality often overlap.”—Walt Disney When I try to qualify what Walt Disney World is, I see it as both a patchwork of reality and fantasy, as well as something with many layers—where the deeper you look, the more magic you’ll find. Everywhere you look—in a park, on an attraction, at a resort, in a restaurant, or even strolling its grounds—what you see on the surface is often just the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to detail, story, and magic.
