Changes
Fantasyland remained largely unchanged until 1980 when the Mickey Mouse Revue was closed and eventually moved to the new Tokyo Disneyland <ref> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/mmr.htm </ref>. The Fantasyland Theater which had housed the revue remained unused until 1987 when the attraction, Magic Journeys moved in. Magic Journeys was a 3D show which allowed guests to see “the world through the eyes of a child”. The film had previously been shown in Epcot, Disneyland, and Tokyo Disneyland before finally making its way to The Magic Kingdom <Ref> https://d23.com/a-to-z/magic-journeys-film/ </ref>.
In the early 1990s, Fantasyland underwent a series of changes. In 1993, Magic Journeys was closed and replaced with The Legend of the Lion King. The new attraction used puppets, animation and special effects to tell the story of Disney's The Lion King <ref> https://www.waltdatedworld.com/id181.htm</ref>. Further change came to the land in 1994, when the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage was closed<ref name= "leagues"> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/20K.htm </ref>. Although the exact reason for the attractions closure remains unclear, 20,000 Leagues was not closed due to lack of popularity. Instead it may have been closed because the ride was not handicap accessible, broke down frequently, had a small max capacity and cost a lot to maintain. After the ride had closed the lagoon which housed the attraction remained empty until 2001 <ref name= "leagues"/>. Also in 1994, Snow White's Adventures was redesigned to be more like the film it was based on <Ref name= "snow"> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/swa.htm </ref>. When Snow White's Adventures reopened it was renamed Snow White's Scary Adventures. The reason for the name change was that the attraction had often scared younger children and the Imagineers felt that some warning was necessary <ref name= "snow"/>.
Another opening day attraction closed in 1998, when Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was removed <Ref name= "toad"> http://allears.net/tp/mk/toad.htm </ref>. Disney thought that a more known character would be better suited for the large building that housed the attraction <ref> http://allears.net/tp/mk/toad.htm </ref>. The ride was still popular however, and when news of the attractions closure spread, a “Save Toad” campaign was started <ref> https://www.math.miami.edu/~jam/toad/ </ref>. Despite the campaign Mr. Toad's Wild Ride closed on September 7, 1998 <ref name= "toad"/>. The attraction was replaced by [[The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]], which opened in 1999. Also in 1999, the Skyway to Tomorrowland was closed <ref> http://www.yesterland.com/skywaymk.html </ref>. The closure of the attraction came after a Disney World employee was killed while cleaning a platform on the attraction. Although Disney said that the accidental death had nothing to do with the ride closing <ref> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2009/09/magic_kingdom_skyway_1.html </ref>, the Skyway would never open again.
