Storybook Land Canal Boats

by | Oct 7, 2025 | Disneyland, Disneyland Attractions, Disneyland Park, Fantasyland

Tour a magical world of miniature Disney icons with a ride on Storybook Land Canal Boats, a Fantasyland attraction that’ll take you past hand-built villages, homes, and key movie moments. After journeying through the mouth of Monstro the Whale, you’ll pass teeny-tiny versions of Arendelle, Agrabah, Toad Hall, and more.

Note: Storybook Land Canal Boats will be updated during its 2025 refurbishment, with Rapunzel’s tower from Tangled added as a brand-new scene near the Patchwork Quilt and Toad Hall. It’s expected that the attraction will reopen and debut this new addition this winter.
