Introduction to Walt Disney World
The Walt Disney World® Resort is a nearly 31,000 acre resort in the heart of Central Florida. With four theme parks, two water parks, two miniature golf courses, four championship golf courses, one nighttime and entertainment district, one sports complex, a plethora of resorts and much more, it’s no wonder that this is the No.1 tourist destination in the entire world. In fact, once you step foot on the property, you will probably never have to (or want to) leave for your entire vacation!
Walt Disney World is all this and more to the over 50 million visitors who pour through its gates every year. Prices may be high and the lines long, but you can learn to love Disney with a little know-how. When you see kids' eyes light up as they meet Mickey or glimpse Cinderella Castle on the horizon, you'll no longer able be able to say that you don't like Disney without your nose growing an inch or two.
Attractions & Rides
Disney-savvy travelers obtain the FASTPASS to skip the lines at popular rides. Tots in tow? Take them to the Magic Kingdom to ride on Dumbo and meet princesses. Adults can travel the globe at Epcot's World Showcase or spot rhinos on an Animal Kingdom safari. For the ultimate adrenaline rush, rideHollywood Studios' 13-story Twilight Zone. When Florida heats up, cool off on water slides at the snow-capped Blizzard Beach or snorkel with sharks (yes, real ones) at Typhoon Lagoon.
Restaurants & Dining
Kids won't want to miss character dining, from buffet breakfasts with Mickey to princess banquets at Cinderella's Royal Table. For sit-down dining, tuck into Maine lobster as fish swim by in Epcot's Coral Reef, order a sizzling steak in the Hollywood Studios' wood-paneled Hollywood Brown Derby, or eat in the jungle at Animal Kingdom's Rainforest Cafe. The themed restaurants at Downtown Disney dish up everything from Cuban food to Creole -- they're sure to please every palate (and pocketbook).
Nightlife & Entertainment
The 21-plus set can sip handcrafted cocktails at Disney's more sophisticated (translation: less sugary) lounges, like the popular Rix (at Disney's Coronado Resort) and the Outer Rim (at Disney's Contemporary Resort). At Downtown Disney, a 24-screen dine-in cinema shows the latest blockbuster hits, while bendy acrobats wow the crowds at Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba. By nightfall, street performers appear to entertain the crowds strolling Disney's BoardWalk, furthering the Coney Island feel.
Characters & Parades
For kids, what's magical is catching the parades and getting a hug (and an illegible autograph) from favorite characters. Check the Times Guide so you can plan around the classic Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade, the dazzling SpectroMagic Parade, and the fireworks at Wishes Nighttime Spectacular. Arrive early for a spot in front of Cinderella Castle for the best view. At Epcot, IllumiNations lights up the lagoon with its laser and light show, while Hollywood Studios' Fantasmic! is worth staying up late for.
