Disney World - General

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Disney World is the most popular attraction in Florida, and the reason that most families decide to visit Orlando.
One common error is mixing up Disney World and Disney Land.
Disney World is based in Orlando Florida, while Disney Land is in California LA. So World is on the east coast and Land is on the west coast.

Disney is the biggest complex of parks and attractions in Florida, and also one of the biggest local employers. Disney World was the first theme park to open in Florida, over the years it has expanded into a multi park empire with hotels and parks linked via its own transportation system. You could if you wish land in Orlando and stay at Disney for all of your stay, and many families do just that.

Disney World is currently made up of the following 4 main parks :

Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM Studios and Animal Kingdom.

They also have two nice water parks :
Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon

Also Disney have smaller attractions that are worth a visit :

Downtown Disney which is great for shopping and eating.
Disney Night Life?

Disney offer a selection of ticket options to cover the length of your stay, tickets are not cheap but they cover a great selection of parks. Some tickets cover 7 days in any parks of your choice, which is great for packing a lot into your holiday but can be very tiring.
