magical kingdom
Where spells work
A magical kingdom is a fantastical realm where enchantment governs—the setting of fairy tales, fantasy novels, and theme parks.
The phrase evokes castles, royalty, and supernatural forces: The story takes place in a magical kingdom where animals can speak.
Disney's Magic Kingdom has made the term nearly synonymous with its brand of family entertainment.
