Well, when I first read this, I got an inkling that maybe you were talking about TV shows (I caught a few lines that seemed to refer to the Simpsons). I can't go into a detailed analysis, because most of the shows sounded like things I hadn't seen. I can do the one verse, though...
> Once upon a time I was the king
You control the channels you watch.
> Of a very magical land
TV is pretty magical.
> With princesses and a castle and even a moat
Sure, depending on the shows you watch.
> And unhappiness was practically banned
So true on most prime time TV.
> And I treated all my subjects with > The utmost respect and care
Not so sure about this, but it could work.
> But when I hid inside my room up above > It was like I wasn't even there
No matter what you do, the TV doesn't react to you at all.
The way I figure it, each verse could be a different show. I also think, though, that the Disneyland connections other people have come up with sound VERY good, and the details match up pretty precisely. I'll be surprised if I am even close on anything.
