Walt Disney World is a magical vacation destination. Covering an expanse
of over 47 square miles, it includes four major theme parks, three water parks,
a sports complex, six golf courses, a shopping centre, and two nighttime
entertainment complexes.
Walt Disney World has something for everyone -- the theme park enthusiast, the sports enthusiast, the
romantic and the gourmet. Walt
Disney World has both high technology and low technology, fantasy and reality.
The gardens of Walt Disney World are gorgeous. Its transportation system is
expansive and efficient. Disney's employees, known as cast members, are helpful
and strive to make you -- the guest -- happy.
Of course, the four major theme parks are the main attraction at Walt Disney
World. The Magic Kingdom (MK) is a wonderful collection of adventure, heritage,
fantasy, and science fiction. Walt Disney's dream of an Experimental Prototype
Community Of Tomorrow (Epcot) showcases both technology and world culture in a
unique mix of attractions and exhibits. At the Disney-MGM Studios you can see
television and movie production and enjoy many of your favorite films and shows
from the past, too. Disney's Animal Kingdom, the newest jewel in the Walt
Disney World crown, is a blend of nature and adventure packaged with all of the
exotic atmosphere that Disney's Imagineers could muster.
In addition to the major parks, three water parks and a handful of other
attractions are available to Disney guests. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn would be
right at home at the old swimming hole, River Country. Typhoon Lagoon is a lush
tropical paradise...hit by a tremendous storm not long ago. Blizzard Beach was
Florida's first ski resort...until the snow from the freak winter storm melted.
There are several Disney-themed miniature golf courses and for the more serious
sports enthusiast, 99 holes of "real" golf.
Downtown Disney includes three areas of shopping, dining, and nighttime fun.
The Disney Village Marketplace is a wonderful collection of unique, interesting,
and fun stores and boutiques. Pleasure Island, is primarily a nightspot
with shopping, dining, and nightclubs - but many of the shops and restaurants
are open during the day, too. The West End is the newest addition to
Downtown Disney and adds additional restaurants and shops.
Another nighttime option is Disney's Boardwalk. Scattered along the
boardwalk is a wonderful array of clubs, restaurants, and shops. The
atmosphere is a throwback to 1930's Coney Island with the vendors, street
performers, games of chance, and other amusements scattered about.
Over two hundred restaurants provide abundant meal options ranging from the
finest and most romantic multi-course meals to family dining to fast food from
food courts and snack pushcarts. At Walt Disney World you can feast on fine
French cuisine, be entertained by belly dancers as you dine on Moroccan faire,
or relish a New England-style clambake.
Without a doubt, the magic of Walt Disney World makes this a wonderful and
unique holiday destination!
