==History==
When Fantasyland was originally being designed for Walt Disney World, Imagineers decided that they did not want to simply make a recreation of Disneyland’s dark rides. Instead they wanted to replace the Disneyland dark rides (Snow White’s Adventure, Peter Pan’s Flight, and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride) with new attractions, based on different movies. Imagineers came up with three new proposals for attractions- one based on Sleeping Beauty, one based on the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and one based on Marry Poppins. Although proposed later (in 1977), another planned attraction for the Magic Kingdom was Enchanted Snow Palace. The attraction would have been a dark boat ride through a magic snow world. Due to the extra cost, and perhaps Roy Disney’s disapproval, it was eventually decided to recreate the Disneyland dark rides in the Magic Kingdom.
Fantasyland opened along with the rest of the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971. Unlike the other lands of the Magic Kingdom, Fantasyland took its inspiration from the Disney movies themselves. The opening day attractions for Fantasyland were: [[Dumbo the Flying Elephant]], the [[Mad Tea Party]], Snow White’s Adventure, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, [[Cinderella’s Golden CarouselCarrousel]], the Mickey Mouse Revue, [["it's a small world"]] and the Skyway to Tomorrowland. Within the next month, [[Peter Pan's Flight]] and the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage would also open, giving Fantasyland an astounding ten attractions by late 1971. Unlike Disneyland’s Fantasyland, which had more of a whimsical theme, the Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland took a lot of inspiration from the European villages where many of the Disney stories were originally written.
