For me Walt Disney World Resort is more than a history book as it contains four theme parks, two water parks, twenty-three themed hotels, and numerous shopping, dining, entertainment and recreation venues, that echo the saga of the dreamworld. It is the dream castle of the man (Walt Disney) who loved breathing life in his dream characters, through his splendid imagination and unbeatable creativity. Join in with me, as I glide you into the world of fun, learning and entertainment.

Location

Walt Disney World is located in southwest of Orlando, Florida, USA.

Theme parks

The four theme parks in Walt Disney World Resort is represented by an iconic structure. Below are the main attractions of these parks

Magic Kingdom : A research states that the park saw an estimated 17 million visitors in 2007, making it the most visited theme park in the world. The major attractions here are Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and Mickey's Toontown Fair.

In Adventureland that kids can explore foreign lands. It is themed to resemble the remote jungles in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America and the South Pacific, with an extension resembling a Caribbean town square. It contains classic rides such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Jungle Cruise too. Frontierland has classic attractions where guests can relive the Wild West that range from cowboys and Indians, to exploring the mysteries of the Rivers of America. Liberty Square is home to the Haunted Mansion and the Hall of Presidents. Tomorrowland is themed to be an intergalactic convention center. Classic attractions include Space Mountain and the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway. These are just the few attractions to name the many. So, make sure no to ignore it when you are at the Disneyland.

EPCOT : EPCOT Center is a theme park with the flavor of a World's Fair. It is dedicated to international culture and technological innovation. If the kids are science geeks then they will surely love the place.

Disney's Hollywood Studios - Disney's Hollywood Studios does not have a defined layout, unlike other Walt Disney World parks. It is more a mass of streets and buildings that blend into each other, much like a real motion picture studio would. The major attraction of this park is, the ultimate Star Wars thrill ride. Kids will enjoy movie set adventure, where kids can climb, crawl and explore in the larger-than-life interactive playground where anthills are mountains, LEGO bricks are hiding places and blades of grass tower like trees. Kids can also join the fun of their favorite fuzzy pals as they take them on a hilariously wacky 3-D tour of Muppet Labs.

Disney's Animal Kingdom - It is the largest single Disney theme park in the world, covering more than 500 acres. It is also the first Disney theme park to be themed entirely around animal conservation, a philosophy once pioneered by Walt Disney himself. Major attraction for the kids here would be the DinoLand U.S.A , Asia - fictional village Anandpur and Africa – a fictional village of Harambe. In DinoLand the kids can whoosh back to the primeval times for a wild ride of an expedition to complete a dangerous mission. The Asian and the African Zone in the park, mainly consists of exploring the daily life of the wild animals and birds. One can climb aboard an open-sided safari vehicle for an expedition seeing many African animals. Animals from Africa freely roam through acres of savanna, rivers and rocky hills. You can also see giraffes, hippos, elephants, rhinoceroses, lions and other animals. In Asia, among the many other attractions,you can raft down the turbulent waters of the Chakranadi River aboard a 12-passenger raft through an enchanting Asian rain forest. Here you will ride past a blazing inferno, a rushing waterfall, and geysers. Be ready to get completely soaked in water.

Other Attractions :

Other attractions in the Disney world include water parks like Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach, Disney's BoardWalk Resort, Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex (athletic complex) and Downtown Disney, an outdoor shopping, dining and entertainment complex.
