Fantasyland is one of the "themed lands" at the many Magic Kingdom-style parks run by The Walt Disney Company around the world. Each Fantasyland has a castle as well as several gentle rides themed after Disney movies. In the words of Walt Disney : "Fantasyland is dedicated to the young at heart and to those who believe that when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true." DISNEYLAND Fantasyland at the original Disneyland features a central courtyard dominated by King Arthur's Carrousel, in front of which sits a sword in an anvil; several times each day a costumed Merlin helps a child pull the sword from it. Walt Disney said, "What youngster has not dreamed of flying with Peter Pan over moonlit London , or tumbling into Alice's nonsensical Wonderland ? In Fantasyland , these classic stories of everyone's youth have become realities for youngsters - of all ages - to participate in." In 1983 , Fantasyland received a major facelift and the attraction facades changed from medieval tents to unique buildings themed to the movies upon which the Dark Ride s were based. Fantasyland's main entrance is through Sleeping Beauty Castle , which has a separate walkthrough attraction that opened in 1957 but closed in 2001 after the September 11 Terrorist Attacks for security reasons.
