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.

Newest Review: ... at Orange Lakes Resort we were assigned a representative who would be our guide. She informed us that she was specially trained to deal with people from the UK (?!) and, after plying us with tea and coffee, began to ask us what we knew about time-shares. When we showed our surprise and told her that we had been assured by the hotel rep that this was not a time-share she was quick to explain: ... more

Wandering into the lobby of our Florida hotel we saw the sign that everyone there wants to see: "Half price Disney tickets!" Wary of scams, having read extensively the forums regarding illegal ticket touts, we cautiously approached the rep.
