Originally based on the 1950's view of exotic adventure <ref> http://www.examiner.com/article/memories-of-the-magic-kingdom-adventureland </ref>, Adventureland's lush vegetation, tribal music and Pacific architecture gave the land a “jungle like” feel.
The focal point of Adventureland was The Sunshine Pavilion sponsored by Frontierland Shootin' Arcade opened with the Florida Citrus Growers from park on October 1, 1971 until 1986. The pavilion itself was made up of a Balinese pagoda (which marked the entrance of the Tropical Serenade) and the [[Sunshine Tree Terrace]], home of both the Citrus Swirl and as the Florida Orange GrowerFrontier Shootin's mascot Gallery. The attraction recreates the Orange Bird1850 shootout on Boot Hill in Tombstone Arizona <Ref name="Disney"> https://disneyworld. Just outside disney.go.com/attractions/magic-kingdom/frontierland-shootin-arcade/ </ref>, in the form of an arcade shooting gallery. In the Sunshine Tree Terracegallery, from 1971 until 200 guests could find the Sunshine Tree that gave the snack bar its namesake use authentic .54 caliber Hawkins buffalo rifles to hit various targets <ref> http://www.omniluxewdwradio.netcom/wyw2007/09/frontierland-shootin-arcade/stt.htm </ref>.There are three different distances that guests can shoot at. The first, the foreground of the gallery, is themed to look like a graveyard. In the graveyard targets that guests can shoot include:*Vultures sitting in a large tree
This theme of Adventureland was quickly expanded on when an expansion of Adventureland named "Caribbean Plaza" was built to house *An owl located inside the popular dark ride [[Pirates of the Caribbean]], shortly followed by the House of Treasure shop, the Plaza del sol Caribe and the Caribbean Aracade (which operated until 1980) <ref> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/ca.htm </ref> <ref> http://passport2dreams.blogspot.com/2006/08/caribbean-plaza-romance-of-tropics.html </ref>. Although Disney had initially not planned on building Pirates of the Caribbean, guest demand necessitated the quick construction of a copy of the popular Disneyland attraction <ref> http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2001/01/01/274.aspx </ref>. Pirates of the Caribbean eventually opened to guests December 15, 1973 <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/pirates-of-the-caribbean.htm </ref>. Besides adding an immensely popular attraction to the land, Caribbean Plaza also gave Adventureland island aesthetics that it did not previously have. Also of note, is the fact that prior to the construction of Caribbean plaza Adventureland and [[Frontierland]] did not connect. By extending Adventureland back towards Frontierland, Caribbean plaza allowed guests to travel between the two lands <ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/9576/Visiting_the_Magic_Kingdom_in_1971 </ref>. large tree
The next change came to Adventureland on September 1*Tombstones, 1997 when the Tropical Serenade closed for an extensive refurbishment <ref> http://waltdatedworld.bravepages.com/id47.htm </ref>. The attraction later reopened with various names on April 5, 1998 as The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management). This updated show was similar to the Tropical Serenade, however the premise was changed so that Iago (from Aladdin) and Zazu (from The Lion King) had taken over as owners of the classic musical revue <ref> http://www.yesterland.com/newmanagement.html </ref>.them
The addition of the Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New management) was followed by another major Adventureland expansion in 2001. Taking inspiration from the Disney movie Aladdin, an Arabian Bazaar was added to the land <ref> http://disneyology.blogspot.com/2010/03/dissecting-disneys-lands-adventureland.html </ref>. This new section featured the ride [[The Magic Carpets of Aladdin]] and two new shops, Agrabah Bazaar and Zanzibar Trading Company. The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is a hub and spoke attraction similar to the popular [[Dumbo the Flying Elephant]] attraction in [[Fantasyland]]. Located in front of the Sunshine Pavilion, the Arabian Village expansion also once again changed the theme of Adventureland, adding desert oasis to the land’s motif <ref> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/adv.htm </ref>.*A skeleton grave digger
Another change came to Adventureland when the Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) closed on January 12, 2011 after experience a small fire. Instead of repairing the attraction, Imagineers decided the time was right to bring back the original Tiki Room show (albeit in a slightly edited form) for the Magic Kingdom's 40th anniversary <ref> http://allears.net/tp/mk/tiki.htm </ref>. The attraction reopened as Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room on August 15, 2011 <ref> http://www.insidethemagic.net/2011/08/walt-disneys-enchanted-tiki-room-reopens-at-walt-disney-world-uniting-new-technology-with-a-classic-show/ </ref>.*A large sign which reads Boot Hill
After the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series, pirates have been featured prominently in Adventureland. For example, an experience called Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial allows guests to be trained as pirates by Captain Jack himself.
