News and rumors from the Walt Disney World resort in Florida
Doing DisneyWorld - news, tips, rumors...
Welcome to DoingDisneyWorld - from here you can find out everything you need to know about the Walt Disney World resort in Florida.
Magic
Kingdom
The Magic Kingdom was opened on October 1st 1971, with both the attractions and layout based on the original Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California.
For many people this IS Disneyworld, and there is no doubt that during almost 40 years of operation it has certainly stood the test of time. The Magic Kingdom attracts more visitors than any other theme park on the planet.
Walt Disney's originial vision was of a place to take the family, where everyone could have fun - young and old alike.
The Magic Kingdom delivers on this promise better than any other part of Walt Disney World...
Epcot
If you are looking for a Florida day full of thrill seeking rides Epcot probably isn’t for you. Then again if you want a day at a slower pace in Walt Disney World with lots to see, amuse and stimulate, it’s perfect.
The entrance to Epcot is a little more straight forward than getting to the Magic Kingdom. When you have parked the car you simply walk to the entrance and after the usual bag search you are through the turnstile and right in front of you is the famous Spaceship Earth (the big golf ball!!)
The World Showcase (this is where you can visit pavilions themed on lots of different countries) opens at 11am, so spend the first couple of hours in the Futureworld area, with attractions and large shops...
Disney's
Hollywood Studios
Originally opened as Disney MGM Studios and re-named Disney's Hollywood Studios in January 2008, this is a great park for all ages as it doesn’t just have lots of big thrill rides. It’s quick to get into the park once you’ve parked the car, and you are straight into the action.
There are only two big rides here which are Tower of Terror and Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster. When you arrive you are best heading to these first and riding one and getting a fast pass for the other.
There is lots to do for the younger visitors here as there is a Playhouse Disney show, Beauty and the Beast Show, Voyage of the Little Mermaid and Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular...
Animal
Kingdom
Animal Kingdom is not just a place to look at animals, oh no. There are some great rides and attractions here. The theming when entering the park is excellent and you feel like you are really entering another world.
The best place to head to first is Kilimanjaro Safari as it is best to see the animals in the morning when it is cooler. As the name implies you are taken on a “safari” to see the animals so you see them in their natural habitat.
There is also a great new ride called Expedition Everest which is not for the faint hearted but is an excellent roller coaster with a difference! The queues are really long so best to head there first to get a “fast pass”...
