Walt Disney World Resort Florida in general ... most famous for its theme parks. Owned and operated by the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts segment of The Walt Disney Company, it is located in Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake, Florida, outside the city limits of Orlando. Construction began in 1967, less than a year after Walt Disney's death. It opened on October 1, 1971, as the Magic Kingdom, and since has added Epcot October 1 1982, Disney-MGM Studios May 1, 1989 and Disney's Animal Kingdom April 22, 1998 theme parks. In addition to the four main theme parks, the resort contains two water parks, six golf courses, a sports complex, an auto race track, twenty resort hotels and numerous shopping, dining, and entertainment offerings. It even has its own fire department. The 20,000-plus acre property is the largest theme park resort in the world, although over the past decade significant acreage has been sold off for housing and other developments, including land now occupied by the Disney-built (but not owned) community of Celebration.

Wow! What a holiday! Simply my favourite holiday destination in the world! There is soooo much to do that I can't cram it into this review, but rest assured, tehre's stuff for people of ALL ages to do. Walt Disney World, Florida is such a happy place. No litter, people willing to help, great atmosphere, not false or contrived, loads to see and do, amazing! And we went on honeymoon so at that time we had no kids in tow! Animal Kingdom is simply breathtaking. You can take a tour on the safari, seeing the hippos, giraffes, well loads of animals! Plus you can take boats around the river with a comical guided tour. In Magic Kingdom ...  Read the complete review

Walt Disney World is a vacation destination in Orlando Florida. It is the biggest Vacation destination in the world and boasts 4 of the busiest theme parks on the plant. Walt Disney World opened October 1st 1971. It was the second theme park by the Disney Company and was the vision of Walt Disney himself. Sadly he died before the park was completed and never go to see his dream relaxed. But his brother Roy O Disney took in on himself to complete the parks and hotels himself in memory of his brother. The destination was going to be called Disney World but was renamed Walt Disney World so no on forget who's vision it was to build. The ...  Read the complete review

Hand on heart, I love Disney. I love Disney films. I love Disney characters. I also love Florida. So this is pretty much match made in heaven time for me. There's several different Disney parks in Orlando - Magic Kingdom, Aninal Kingdom, Epcot, Downtown Disney, MGM studios and the water parks being the main ones. Magic Kingdom is the famous one, with the castle, plenty of rides and shows, real good mix of adult rides and stuff for the kids.You can have character breakfasts, there's the daily parades (the night one is awesome and the fireworks are fantastic) and various other things going on. Animal Kingdom is split into Africa and Asia, ...  Read the complete review

**This review is about the rollercoaster "Expedition Everest" at Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World Resort specifically. ** The Expedition Everest coaster is in Disney's Animal Kingdom (in the Asia section), Orlando Florida. To give it its full title, it's called "Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain". Another heavily themed ride, as you'd expect in Disney, with the queue management area kitted out like a base-camp in the Himalayas with plenty of lore about the Yeti on the walls. When you get to the front of the queue, you can catch a glimpse of the trains and can see that it's only a lap-bar holding ...  Read the complete review
