If there's one place on earth where almost everyone wants to go at one point in their lives whether they're newlyweds, college students, families with small children, or even retirees it's Orlando, Florida.
Why? Because it's the home of Walt Disney World! It doesn't matter how young or old you are when you travel to Orlando and head to Disney World, you'll always feel like a kid. The excitement, adventure, and just plain fun atmosphere almost guarantee a perfect vacation in Orlando.
In fact, Walt Disney World first opened in 1971, and since that opening day, it has expanded to include an immense amount of features! It includes four theme parks, a sports complex, a race track, two water parks, six golf courses, twenty family or resort hotels, and many, many more restaurants, shopping, and entertainment options than you could ever experience in just one visit.
Literally, Walt Disney World takes up over 20,000 acres of space in Orlando, making it the largest amusement park in the world. Think that still isn't enough? Believe it or not, Disney actually has its own adjacent community in the Orlando suburbs, called Celebration.
Since there are four separate theme parks in Orlando's Walt Disney World, it can sometimes get a little confusing as to what each part really represents. Here's a quick overview of each theme park inside the Disney World property:
1) The Magic Kingdom: This theme park has seven countries, and each focuses on a different and unique theme. Inside the Magic Kingdom, you'll travel to Main Street USA, Mickeys Toontown Fair, Liberty Square, Frontierland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, and Fantasyland each with their own set of themed rides to enjoy!
2) Epcot: The Epcot park was initially built as an homage to technological innovation, and as such, focuses more on exhibits rather than rides. There is also a large focus on learning what it means to live in harmony with international culture, and therefore many of the exhibits are very informative and culturally related.
3) Disney MGM-Studios: This Disney World part has five separate themed areas, each attempting to focus on a different part of the studio production process. These areas include Hollywood Boulevard, Mickey Avenue, Sunset Boulevard, the Animation Courtyard, and the Backlot!
4) Disneys Animal Kingdom: The park here is dedicated to animal conservation, and as such, has seven small lands that focus on different species from these areas sometimes real, and sometimes imaginary! The sections include Oasis, Camp Mickey & Minnie, Asia, DinoLand USA, Discovery Island, Africa, and Rafiki's Planet Watch.
A trip to Orlando, Florida would simply not be complete without at least a day in Walt Disney World, after all, it's the place where dreams are supposed to come true!
