Fantasyland at Disney World is divided into three distinct areas: original Fantasyland, Enchanted Forest and Storybook Circus. Each of these areas has its own theme based Disney characters and stories.
There are plenty of great rides & attractions this part of Magic Kingdom that you won’t want to miss.

Because of how crowded Fantasyland can get, you will want to make sure that you plan your visit to this area early in the day. The best plan is to get there early enough to see the Magic Kingdom Welcome Show at Cinderella Castle.

The best way to get to Fantasyland at Disney World is by walking straight through Cinderella’s Castle.
While you can walk around it, if you do you will miss seeing the beautiful Cinderella mosaics inside the castle.

Fantasyland at Disney World is quite possibly the most popular section of Magic Kingdom. You will want to make your FastPass reservations for the more popular rides ahead of your trip.
Rides like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Princess Fairytale Hall Meet & Greet seem to be the most popular and have the longest lines.
Either get a FastPass or plan to hit these as soon as you arrive to the park.
If after that you still have something you want to ride that is quite popular, be sure to get in line as soon as the park opens.

My suggestions would be to prioritize such rides as Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Peter Pan’s Flight, It’s a Small World & Winnie the Pooh.
While you will have to wait in some lines for the attractions and rides in Fantasyland, the ones that seem to have the quickest lines are PhilharMagic, Pete’s Silly Sideshow and Goofy’s Barnstormer.
Even the line for Dumbo isn’t terrible because there are two lines and a pretty neat play area in between where you can play as you wait.
