==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 Adventures, Peter Pan’s Flight, and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride) with new attractions based on different movies< ref name= "Hill"> http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2013/10/28/the-headless-horseman-heads-on-out-expanding-his-turf-beyond-walt-disney-world-for-the-2013-halloween-season.aspx </ref>. 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 <ref> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/mtwr.htm </ref>. Due to the additional cost and guest expectations it was eventually decided to recreate the Disneyland dark rides in the Magic Kingdom. According to Jim Hill, when Roy O. Disney about the plans for the new attractions he said:
