Fantasyland reminds me of stepping into a world of classic Disney. The addition of Mine Train added some spice to this land that was missing and who can hate on the classic rides found here?! Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, It's a Small World, the carrousel (wow, that took Googling to spell correctly). You also get beautiful views of the castle from the back and Be Our Guest! Which I highly recommend doing for lunch.. but the dinner option is a little too pricey for what you get. We did dine there when the fire alarm went off and got free drinks and a free second soup. Lunch menu is amazing for price and food quality, plus you still get to see the inside of the castle and all the rooms!
Pros:
Classic Disney feelCons:

Some good theming in this land at the Magic Kingdom. However, I don't like how claustrophobic I feel sometimes walking through here. With Peter Pan's Flight and Small World so close to each other there are always heavy crowds walking down that choke point. Those rides are both fun though, and there is some good food at Pinocchio Village Haus while you can watch people on It's a Small World.
Pros:
Good theming. Great rides. Decent food.Cons:

I love this land! It's super cute and has so much fun stuff to do. It has all your favorite characters and some fun rides. This land is perfect to take your little ones to since the rides are more mild and themed.
Pros:
Cute land, fun ridesCons:

My lest favorite of the lands. It's classic, and magical, but I don't love the tent look. I understand the concept behind it, but it's always seemed a little cheap looking to me. I'm not even sorry and know I'm probably alone in the this. I also am bitter because of Mickey's Toontown Fair. Storybook Circus is NOT better and they need to bring back a version of Toontown. Of course, the attractions in this land are absolutely classic and worth the wait. If it's your first time at DW you need to visit this land, but I wouldn't be upset if I had to pass on Fantasyland during a MK day.
Pros:
Classic Disney ridesCons:

It's definitely one of best lands in Magic Kingdom! It has a great view of the castle, lots of family friendly rides and places to snack.
Pros:
Classic Rides, snacks and plenty of things to doCons:
It gets quite crowded walking around this land and wait times at these attractions can be high.Reviewed by MichelleWitty Review Date: 07/15/2021

A must to do area of the Magic Kingdom. Not only does it have the most rides it is very family friendly. Lots of quick service options and lots of delicious snack options here as well. Plenty of spaces to park a stroller if need be.
Pros:
Family friendly rides, classic Disney character themed rides, great foodCons:
Most bottle necked area in the park between Peter Pan's flight and it's a small worldReviewed by BeccaRutan Review Date: 07/15/2021

Fantasyland is a Disney Classic. It has some great rides. The new ones are great, but the classic area by Peter Pan & Small World seems smushed. I think Disneyland's Fantasyland is more my style
Pros:
The Tangled bathrooms are fun. Sir Mickeys is a fun little store. Some of the rides are fun and classic. The ques for Peter Pan & Winnie the Pooh are fantastic! Way better than Disneyland. The new rides/areas are done very well! Great additions.Cons:
Disneyland's Small World & Teacups blow WDWs versions out of the water. It is missing the classic rides like Mr. Toad, Pinocchio & Snow White. Without them it just seems wrong.Reviewed by PoohSticks Review Date: 07/15/2021

This is my favorite land. I love all the rides, and they always seem to have yummy snacks. The scenery is adorable. You really feel like you were transported to another land.
Pros:
Classic rides Yummy snacksCons:

Although Fantasyland is considered one of the most magical places in the Magic Kingdom, I have never really understood the hype. This land has always been overhyped, and the lines to many of the attractions tend to get incredibly long. Rides like Peter Pan's Flight and It's a Small World that are a part of Disney history are rides that have understandably long waits, but waiting 50 minutes for the Carousel is crazy. A lot of the rides in this land are considered to be "little kid rides", however, I think many of them are still good attractions. I can't go to the Magic Kingdom without seeing Philharmagic, and I can't leave the park without going on It's a Small World, but at the same time rides like the Seven Dwarves Mine Train are often overhyped for what they are, which leads to my more scathing review of the land. On my last trip I waited about 60 minutes for Mine Train, and it is a good ride, and I highly recommend it if you have Photopass and are looking for some cool on-ride photos, but the attraction is just not worth the wait when you can get on Big Thunder Mountain or Splash Mountain in the same amount of time. Pre-covid there were some great meet-and-greets with princesses, but even without characters, the land is still overhyped and a little lack-luster for me. And the crowds are always CRAZY here, even in the rain. For families with young kids though, this is the land you cannot skip, as it has so many family attractions that anyone can go on.
Pros:
- Attractions that have lots of Disney history - Lots of possible character interactions (pre-covid) - A TON of family rides, and just rides in general really - Plenty of snacks, decent quick service restaurants, and Be Our Guest RestaurantCons:
