Destination information
WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort
Who wouldn’t want to spend some time in the “Happiest Place on Earth?” WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort near Orlando, Florida (US) is such a place. It is made up of over 30 resorts, hotels, theme parks and golf courses. It is a self-contained world in itself, and one that certainly can’t be seen properly in even a few days. Some people think that Disney World Holidays are non-stop activities and rides, but there are plenty of places to relax and unwind, making the WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort the perfect place for a holiday.
Magic Kingdom Park
Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park, at the north end of the resort, is 107 acres of Disney Magic, with all the classic attractions that people have come to expect and love from Disney. Characters from famous Disney films wander the streets of the six different lands; Cinderella’s Castle is beautifully illuminated at night, and evening fireworks and parades take the entertainment well into the evening. Whether you want to become a pirate or take a ride in Fantasyland, you’ll find everything that people love about Disney here in one place.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the second of the four theme parks within WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort, and this one is dedicated to the magic of the entertainment industry. Walk into the glitz and glamour of classic Hollywood, and participate in the excitement by marching in a parade or playing a part on a movie set. Stars meander throughout this park, and they’re all willing to sign autographs, and of course the Disney characters are available for visits as well!
Epcot
Epcot is a unique fusion of technology and cuisines from around the world. Future World focuses on what life might be like in the years ahead, and you’ll see things you hadn’t even considered possible there. If you’d like to travel the world in the course of a few hours, wander through the World Showcase where you can see the cultures of Mexico, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, and more. Of course, Disney characters are available to meet and sign autographs.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park is a natural delight for visitors of all ages. With more than 1,700 animals calling the 500 acres of this park their home, you’ll see amazing examples of the natural world. Expeditions and adventures will bring you up close and personal with the animals, plants and birds, and of course Disney characters keep the fun hopping along.
Grown-up Attractions
WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort doesn’t forget the adults. Many of the deluxe resorts offer spa facilities and holiday packages, and for dad there’s a wide selection of golf courses to choose from. A large shopping centre is housed within the park grounds, so you can find whatever you need for the perfect holiday. Inside the park, transportation options are everywhere, from the monorail to the boats and buses. Disney has thought of everything to make your visit to the WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort effortless and memorable all at the same time.
