Magic Kingdom Park

Bay Lake, FL 32836, USA

Iconic theme park of fairy-tale castle, classic rides and parades built on land bought up in secret.

This guide to Magic Kingdom traces the secret 1965 land grab outside Orlando, when Walt Disney's lawyers bought up swampland under invented company names to hide his identity from a persistent newspaper editor. It follows the deception through Walt Disney's death in 1966, five years before the park opened, and his brother Roy's decision to see the project through in his name. Best heard walking down Main Street at an easy pace.
