Tomorrowland is one of the themed lands at the Magic Kingdom and is located in the front and to the right of Cinderella's Castle when entering the park. This land is themed to resemble a futuristic view of the world, complete with futuristic palm trees, attractions, and landscaping. In his own words, Walt Disney said that "The Tomorrowland attractions have been designed to give you an opportunity to participate in adventures that are a living blueprint of our future."
