ORLANDO, Fla. – New Fantasyland adds some spangle-sparkle to the stately Magic Kingdom.

With the help of a flying pachyderm, a book-reading do-gooder and an aquatic sylph wishing for feet, New Fantasyland lets visitors immerse themselves in the stories of true love and happy endings.

It officially opened Dec. 6, when many parents came with little girls in pastel princess dresses. People waited nearly 1 { hours to get into Enchanted Tales with Belle. Small children rode in clamshells down into the deep of the Little Mermaid Under the Sea.
The most popular theme park in the world, the Magic Kingdom had 17 million visitors last year.
