Mother Goose Watches Over the Fun
What fairy land would be complete without Mother Goose. She hangs over Storyland in one of the large Live Oak Trees watching all the fun. From her vantage point she can see most of the winding paths through the Storyland village and all of our favorite stories.
Pinnochio's Whale
Remember the whale who swallowed Pinnochio and Geppetto? Sure we all remember the story and how Pinnochio's clever idea to build a fire inside the whale's belly saved the pair from doom. But, do you remember the whale's name? Well its was Monstro. Monstro the whale lives in Storyland and you can climb down into his belly to imagine how Pinnochio and Geppetto felt. But, don't worry, Monstro is now a friendly whale and will not close his mouth when you're inside.
Cinderella's Castle
In Storyland, Cinderella's Castle is the perfect place to sit and listen to a story or watch a puppet show. This shaded spot is set up with child size benches and is the perfect place to plan a birthday celebration or other party. There are often puppet shows and storytellers in Cinderella's Castle to spark the imagination and fun.
Cinderella's Pumpkin Coach
Standing nearby Cinderella's Castle is her magic pumpkin coach. After all how else would she get to the ball? The coach adds to the fun and mystic of Cinderella's Castle and the surrounding child-friendly area.
The Three Little Pigs
We all remember the story of the Three Little Pigs and their houses. Well, here they are in Storyland next to the brick house, under the close watch of Mother Goose.
Dragon Slide
Every playground needs a fun slide. Storyland needed a special slide and so, the dragon slide was built. It's high, coloful and fast. The kids love it. Right next to the slide is another fun playground fixture. It's a fire truck just perfect for climbing on and playing fireman.
Repunzel's Tower
Kids love to climb, and what better place to climb is up to the top of Repunzel's Tower. How very long was her hair?
Snow White
Along your walk through Storyland, you will come to the home of the seven drawfs. Lying outside is Snow White awaiting Prince Charming's kiss to awaken her from the deep sleep induced by the poisonous apple.
The Mermaid Pond
In the story the cow jumped over the moon. But, in Storyland we find out that the cow likes just sitting on the moon enjoying the kids and the fun of Storyland.
There are many shallow waterways that wind through Storyland and one of the favorites is the Mermaid Pond. It's a perfect way to cool off on a summer afternoon.
