Walt
Disney World
|
|
Florida
has undergone a radical transformation, since its discovery by Spanish
Explorer Ponce de Leon in 1513. The 'Sunshine State' has become synonymous
with many top attractions of global renown. Its reputation as the
world's most exciting holiday playground continues to grow, especially
in Orlando. Florida is a state of huge contrasts; from high-tech thrills,
glittering attractions and golf courses to some of the best beaches
to be found anywhere along the US coastline. Huge tracts of Florida,
including the Everglades, are protected national parks, making it
the sunshine holiday state with a difference. |

Walt Disney World is
the biggest holiday attraction on earth. It contains four immense
theme parks and several other major attractions.
The Magic
Kingdom (pictured) is just one of the theme parks at Disney World.
Others include, Disney MGM Studios, the EPCOT Centre and Disney's
Animal Kingdom.
We would advise a 'plan of action'
especially if this is your first visit to Disney World or you have
limited time.
