Welcome To The “Happiest Place On Earth”
Walt Disney World Overview

THEME PARKS
WATER PARKS
RECREATION
There is a lot more to Walt Disney World than you may realise. As well as the 4 main theme parks you will also find 2 water parks, a shopping and entertainment district, 4 golf courses, 2 miniature golf courses and a 230-acre world class sports training facility that hosts events for over 60 sports.
With 40 square miles of land, Disney also has its own community called Celebration. It operates it’s own fire service, utilities, power grid and even several solar farms. But millions of people come for the theme parks so lets start exploring…
Magic Kingdom
Walt Disney World Overview
Magic Kingdom
With over 20 million visitors per year, The Magic Kingdom in Orlando is the world’s most visited theme park.
With 40+ world-class rides and attractions don’t expect to get everything done. If you don’t have a plan or plan to use Disney’s Genie+ and Ligntning Lane paid services to the max you should expect to be standing in some very long queues during busy periods.
EPCOT
Walt Disney World Overview
EPCOT
Somewhat overlooked by many thanks to a historical lack of investment, EPCOT is in the middle of a new imagining.
Now home to the world’s largest indoor roller coaster as well as a newly announced fireworks extravaganza. An injection of characters and new attractions is breathing new life into this nostalgic favourite.
Hollywood Studios
Walt Disney World Overview
Hollywood Studios
Disney’s Hollywood Studios had a brand identity crisis. From a place where you could “Ride the Movies” you can now immerse yourself in them.
The multi-million dollar reinvention of this park is a spectacle. New lands Toy Story and Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge are outstanding additions to what some would still consider a half-day park. What the park may lack in the number of attractions it certainly makes up for in quality and that’s before we even get to the shows!
Animal Kingdom
Walt Disney World Overview
Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom is, without doubt, former Imagineer Joe Rhode’s masterpiece. The attention to detail is stunning, the theming and staging is seamless.
It now has some world-class rides and, with the opening of Pandora, Animal Kingdom has finally flourished into a full day park. Animal Kingdom is finally coming of age, if only they would extend the park opening hours permanently.

Typhoon Lagoon
Walt Disney World Overview
Typhoon Lagoon
Typhoon Lagoon may not be Disney World’s original water park, that title goes to the now-closed River Country, but it is a classic water park setting.
Packing a surprising amount into its tiny tropical island themed 61-acre plot, Typhoon Lagoon may now be Orlando’s oldest water park but it is still one of Orlando’s best.
Blizzard Beach
Walt Disney World Overview
Blizzard Beach
The runaway success of Typhoon Lagoon and the then ageing infrastructure of River Country necessitated another alternative for Disney World’s ever-increasing number of guests to escape the heat and humidity of the Floridian summer.
The result is undoubtedly Disney. Where Typhoon Lagoon mixes family thrills with serious chills on idyllic sandy beaches, Blizzard Beach goes for heart-pumping thrills over relaxation in a faux ski resort setting. In Florida!
