Disney World Resort

Disney World Resort is one of the most visited and largest recreational resorts in the world. It has four different theme parks: The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

The Magic Kingdom theme park is the park first built in the resort. These theme park is represented by Cinderella’s castle. It has about forty-eight attractions in seven themed lands.

Unlike the Magic Kingdom, Epcot contains tunnels underneath the buildings. The tunnels are used primarily for the support facilities necessary for merchandise shops and restaurants. Spaceship Earth is the icon of Epcot. At Epcot, guests can visit Future World that offers innovative aspects and applications of technology. Guests can also visit pavilions representing eleven countries such as China, United Kingdom, France, Morocco, Japan, and Italy in World Showcase.

The other two theme parks at Disney World Resort are Disney-MGM Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. At Disney-MGM Studios, guests can enjoy rides and shows based on Hollywood movies. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, guests can take a safari ride to see elephants, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, and lions. There are also two Disney water parks: Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. Both parks have water slides and other adventures.
