Today we continue our land by land guide series with a doozy – Fantasyland. Fantasyland is so expansive that we ended up splitting the guide into two episodes. In this episode and post, we take a look at all of the Fantasyland attractions and rides. For each attraction we’ve included a tip on how to minimize your wait time (plus some other random tips).

But the process can often seem a bit confusing and overwhelming to the newbie. Learn all about how DVC rentals work so you can decide if one is right for your next Disney vacation.
