Which D&D world best suits a Wizard of Oz/Alice in Wonderland/Disney atmosphere?

I want to move my campaign into political intrigue but I want to preserve the gonzo and light-heated feel I have enjoyed thus far. Which D&D (or other published non-D&D setting) would suit a whimsical campaign with political intrigue between noble houses? I have been running in Eberron, but I am starting to have doubts about involving my players in the pulpy grimdark politics of dragonmarked houses; it seems to modern to me; not enough room for old-fashioned feudalism.

There's ''A red and pleasant land'' for Lamentation of the Flame Princess that is a twist on Alice in Wonderland, you'd just have to avoid the more gore elements typically associated with LotFP.

I love to use the Nentir Vale for more ''light-hearted'' campaing as the factions and overall themes can be made quite Disney-like:
- A city of Dwarves that is a converted necropolis so the half the population are non-evil ghosts.
- A huge emphasis on Fey forest and ruins.
- A manor used as a town for kobolds
- an actual goblin town
- a cheesy, raven-themed group of thieves
etc

A trip to the Feywild (or Thelanis if you want to keep it in Eberron) seems in order. Weird court intrigue is a classic fey thing, ditto Alice and Wonderland type strangeness.

My first impulse would be to suggest either Spelljammer of Planescape. They can be pretty whimsical, without the modern-ish trappings of Eberron.

Though, as pointed out by lowkey13, for better or worse, Greyhawk does have a history with Alice in Wonderland-inspired adventures.

I second the Feywild comment.

I want more than an adventure's worth. I want a full-on Disneyfied Game of Thrones tangle of courts, wizards and priests, but I want to set it in a world that requires the least modification in order to keep it light and goofy. Greyhawk thus far seems silly enough... maybe there is a RPG version of Xanth (not that I have ever read the books, just their reputation) or even Oz?

The reason I am asking is that although Eberron has lots of magic and goofiness, it also seems too modern/urban in sensibility... what point is there to have frivolous nobles clashing over inheritances and crowns when Dragonmarked Houses are so much more potent? Maybe I need to rethink Eberron (goodness knows I have been twisting it a lot already)

(Sorry about the stream of incoherent posts... late night delirium...)

Let's see . . . Disney specializes in brutally murdered parents and weird talking animals, often anamorphic.

Dark Sun all the way.
