Walt Disney World® Resort Guide

The world’s largest theme park, Walt Disney World Resort, covers a space twice the size of Manhattan, delivering the Disney promise of magical escapism and thrilling rides. It is divided into four theme parks, alongside water parks, restaurants, theatres and hotels. The best-known of the theme parks is the Magic Kingdom, which provides traditional Disney rides and attractions and allows visitors to meet their favourite Disney characters. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is an animal park, where visitors can learn about the animal kingdom, enjoy shows such as the ‘Festival of the Lion King’, and go on an animated jungle trek or African-style safari. Disney-MGM Studios is a Hollywood-inspired theme park featuring rides, shows and tours of Hollywood sets, both real sets and reconstructions, including a children’s playground adventure based on the film ‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids’. Epcot is a science-based park which explores the earth’s natural phenomena and the human anatomy, as well as taking visitors on virtual trips around countries such as China and France (in World Showcase) and offering a glimpse into the technology of the future (in Future World).
