Of course the Magic Kingdom was patterned after
the original Disneyland in California. You enter the
park on Main Street U.S.A. The basic layout is the
same as the California park, but Florida's Magic
Kingdom does not have a Matterhorn ride. One thing
about the Magic Kingdom here in Florida - It is
ALWAYS changing. The additions include new
rides, fireworks and light shows, and even the
different parades.
You cannot visit the Magic Kingdom just once a year
and think you've seen it all. They change the seasons
with different times of the year. Sometimes it's
decorated for Easter, or Fall or Halloween and
especially for Christmas. It even snows once in a
while! Always be on the lookout for different
characters. You never know which unusual character
might show up next.
