Posted by admin | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 24-09-2011
In November of 1963, Walt Disney began scouting for new areas to build another theme park, purchased 22,443 acres of land near Orlando, Florida, and began developing what would become Walt Disney World.
Walt Disney World’s opening day was October 1, 1971; five years after lung cancer took Walt’s life. During the opening ceremony, Walt’s brother Roy O. Disney is quoted as saying, “Everyone has heard of Ford cars. But have they all heard of Henry Ford, who started it all? Walt Disney World is in memory of the man who started it all, so people will know his name as long as Walt Disney World is here.”
Since the launch of Walt Disney World, it has been visited by millions of families, each looking to share in Walt’s special brand of magic. The resort is comprised of many lodges, spas, and resorts, and even boasts a wedding pavilion for a truly special wedding everyone will remember.
When visiting the Magic Kingdom theme park, a person can choose from several areas of fun; Adventureland, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Main Street, U.S.A., and Tomorrowland. Within these areas visitors can experience attractions such as the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad roller coaster, Jungle Cruise, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, It’s A Small World, and the Mad Tea Party, Splash Mountain, the Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Haunted Mansion. And Disney World tickets can be booked in advance in the UK before you go on your trip.
