Where Magic Comes to Life
Fantasia Gardens is a land that epitomizes the essence of Fantasy. Celebrating a place where magic mountains loom in the distance, fairies and charming animals roam, and the ideals of a perfect world surround you creating the most magical feeling alive.
Fantasia Gardens is located in the far east side of New Fantasyland. It will take up the plot of the former Tomorrowland Speedway. While many guests will surely feel upset about this replacement, it makes sense for Disney and the Magic Kingdom as it is a dying attraction, and the outcome for replacing it will add much more to the park with an immersive subland. It will feature two main attractions, a new It's A Small World (to the right on map below) and Fantasia Forest Swings (far northeast beyond berm). In addition, there will be a new counter service restaurant, World Peace Cafe (across from IASW) with tastes of all sorts of cultures to make this magical, immersive, and naturally beautiful land feel all the more complete!

While the ride has moved, the experience is almost exactly the same after walking into the beautiful stylized palace exterior. One addition, however, is It's A Small World Holiday every Christmas season. This wonderful happy celebration of Holidays around the world takes every little detail and jollies it out.

Fantasia Forest Swings |
Beyond the berm, Fantasia Forest Swings takes the magic of Fantasia's Pastoral Symphony and turns it into a ride where centaurs prance around with us attached to large carriages, whipping us as the Roman god Bacchus stirs them up into a frenzy

Be Magical in Fantasia Gardens with Mickey and Friends |
Mickey and Friends have moved from Main Street and Pete's Silly Sideshow to Fantasia Gardens. Pete's Silly Sideshow will close while the Mickey Meet and Greet on Main Street will be replaced with an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Meet and Greet. Mickey and Friends, dressed as sorcerers, will be backed by enchanting objects and and props. In a money saving move, Tokyo DisneySea's 10th anniversary costumes will be taken and used for the new Meet and Greet. There will be three lines, one for Mickey and Minnie, one for Donald and Daisy, and one for Goofy and Pluto. Late at night, when guests are mostly on Main Street waiting for Wishes, all three lines become one. This is a holdover from Pete's Silly Sideshow's days and creates a creative capacity reducer for the slowest of days and those slow late nights.

World Peace Cafe |
This Quick Service restaurant specializes in international cuisine with a childish flair, much like the nearby attraction It's a Small World.
