When
Walt Disney said of the vast Florida grounds that would become Disney
World, “There’s enough land here to hold all the ideas
and plans we can possibly imagine,” it’s easy to envision
him standing in an open field, his hands on his hips, elbows out,
with the world’s most giant twinkle in his eye.
Walt imagined a lot, and Disney World has it all. Opened in 1971,
Disney World captured the world’s imagination with its sheer
size alone, covering an area twice the size of Manhattan and 150
times larger than Disneyland in California.
While the idea of an amusement park that size may be daunting,
it truly is not, for the pure magic of Disney creates a world where
smiles lurk around every corner and
the greatest family memories are primed to blossom. Each ride, each
hotel is an entire vacation in itself, so wherever you are is the
best place to be.
The first ride you should enjoy in your Disney World experience
is the ride in your car to your travel agent’s office. Travel
agents know Mickey personally and can get you the best deals on
Disney resorts as well as the passes your family will need to enjoy
all the parks.
‘Cause let’s face it, we all come here to play, and
the numerous theme parks in Mickey’s
playhouse have perfected the something-for-everyone ideal, where
thrills and spills abound to leave us always wanting more. Like
at the famous Magic Kingdom where you can devour as much adventure
as your stomach can handle careening down Space Mountain or taste
the thrilling danger of the high seas on the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Disney’s
Animal Kingdom unleashes the magic of their animated characters
into roaring realism in this one-of-a-kind nature park, featuring
dozens of attractions and entertaining shows. Join the circle of
life at the Festival of the Lion King, a spirited parade of tribal
celebration.
Thrills take center stage at Disney – MGM Studios where 3-D
wizardry mixes with Hollywood flare on such popular attractions
as the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, arguably the park's most delightfully
terrifying ride, and Jim Henson’s Muppet Vision 3D, where
the characters are so real that kids and adults reach out to touch
them.
The silver dome of Epcot, gleaming brightly like a homesick moon
returned to mother earth, is a marvel of the potential of human
imagination. The fantastic interior is divided into Future World,
a combination amusement and educational park, and World Showcase,
an enlightening re-creation of 11 foreign lands.
While these attractions will always
remain popular, new adventures have recently made their Disney World
debut. Now blasting off is Mission: SPACE, presented by HP, a simulated
space adventure that’s already an Epcot favorite. Disney magic
meets Disney music in the new 3-D film “Mickey’s PhilharMagic,”
featuring an eye-popping jamboree of lovable characters. And the
night sky will never be the same again as Wishes: A Magical Gathering
of Disney Favorites combines the power of wishes with magical moments
from cherished Disney films for the biggest, boldest fireworks show
ever presented for Mickey’s guests.
All of these rides and attractions make Disney World the world’s
largest amusement resort, but the real emphasis should rest on resort.
Walt Disney World Resorts allow you and your family to sleep under
magical stars while enjoying enchanting décor with
fabulous dining and entertainment.
Whether it’s waterfalls and lush gardens at the Polynesian
Resort, the baseball-themed pool at the All-Star Sports Resort,
the tropical ambience of the Old Key West Resort or the casual elegance
of the New England seaside at the Yacht Club Resort, a room key
is all you need to enter a new world. With five championship golf
courses, two miniature golf challenges, tennis, horseback riding,
waterskiing and world-class spas to fill in the gaps in your schedule,
you’ll be blissfully busy from sun up to sun down.
Ranging in prices to fit every budget, Disney resorts surround
you with the quality and imagination that only Disney can offer.
As a guest, you will be given special privileges like Extra Magic
Hour, where every day some of the most popular attractions stay
open an extra hour just for you.
Through
Walt Disney’s dreams sprung the dream vacation destination.
Where else can you find four unique theme parks, two exhilarating
water parks, 23 distinctive resort hotels, world-class dining, exciting
nightlife and fabulous entertainment for all ages? And we do mean
all ages, for more adults are swooshing down Space Mountain than
ever, recognizing the fact that fun does not have an expiration
date.
Leave
it to Walt to sum it up best: “There is a little adult in
every child, but a lot of child in every adult.” Whether you’re
a mother of three or fresh out of college, Disney World will plunge
your soul into the Fountain of Youth and leave you a little wet
behind the ears. Contact a travel agent today to customize your
perfect Disney World package, including the top resort to fit your
personality and the passes you’ll need to explore the very
best this special place has to offer.
