Land of Make-Believe
Fantasy world destination
A Land of Make-Believe is an imaginary realm where fantasy prevails—the domain of children's play, fairy tales, and wishful thinking.
The phrase often carries gentle dismissal: He's living in the Land of Make-Believe if he thinks that plan will work.
It suggests pleasant delusion, a retreat from hard reality into comforting fiction.
