A Brief History Of Disney World Hotels And Parks

By Frances Kelly


Officially, the Disney World Resort and Theme park complex is known as Walt Disney Resort. The complex in Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake Florida is situated near Orlando, Florida and host several disney world hotels. While originally built and owned by Walt's company, the complex now has a new owner.

The resort hosts 27 themed hotels, nine corporate hotels, a camping resort and multiple golf courses. In addition, there are 2 water parks, 4 theme parks and 27 themed hotels. There are also a number of indoor and outdoor dining options, a shopping center and other attractions such as art galleries and museums.

In the original plans, the resort was to be a supplement to that of Disneyland in California. In the early phase, the area was planned to be a community and village where people could live and play. As such, it was the intention to build a place which would provide a separate and unique identity to that of the California parks.

EPCOT, is often considered one of the main highlights at the Florida resort. For, visitors can go around the world while never leaving the park. In addition, visitors can also take a step into the future. For, that was the vision Walt had when building the Experimental Prototype of Tomorrow. As a result, it is also one of the most visited parks in the complex.

It took a great deal of work to get the Florida government to improve the Reedy Creek Improvement district on which the park would be built. As part of the agreement, Disney gained the rights to create a full autonomous city. Unfortunately, Walt passed away before seeing construction begin on this or any other aspect of the resort.

In the process, the company abandoned earlier concepts for a planned community and village. After which, the company opened Magic Kingdom in 1971. Then, Epcot was completed in 1982 and Hollywood Studios in 1989 with Animal Kingdom opening in 1998. The most recent attraction to any of the parks is that of the new Star Wars Experience.

The resort is one of the most visited vacation spots in the world. With an annual attendance in the millions, the resort is a destination for a number of corporate outings, schools and the public. As such, the resort has become a staple with regards to American vacations and culture.

Whether a corporate employee, student, or individual, the resort has a lot to offer. In addition, children are always welcome at the resort. In fact, there are a number of rides, shows and experiences aimed at a younger audience. As such, the resort can often provide a great deal of fun for families.

Whether traveling with a group, or on a solo mission, there are a number of hotels outside the resort which often come with lower prices tags. While this is the case, it is often recommended that individuals read a number of reviews and testimonials related to off-site lodging. For, while some may offer the same amenities and benefits as those on-site, those are few and far between.
