Fun facts
- Magic Kingdom is built on the second story — an entire network of underground tunnels called utilidors runs beneath the park for cast member operations.
- Cinderella Castle uses forced perspective: the upper bricks and windows are scaled smaller to make it appear taller than its 189-foot height.
- Magic Kingdom's hub-and-spoke layout became the blueprint for Disney castle parks worldwide.
- The park's dedication plaque reads 'Walt Disney World is a tribute to the philosophy and life of Walter Elias Disney,' placed by Roy O. Disney on opening day.
- Main Street, U.S.A. uses a scent system called Smellitizers to pump the aroma of fresh-baked cookies and vanilla into the air.
