Disney World

Many families go to Disney World each year. Disney World is for every body, young, or old. The kids always have a good time enjoying the rides and Disney characters. Even the older people enjoy the bigger rides. There are always a variety of activities everyone can do.

Here is a brief history about Disney World. In 1958, Walt had decided that he wanted his new Disneyland to be to the east. He and his brother, Roy O. Disney decided on Orlando, Florida. After all, Florida had good year-round weather, and it would be the perfect place. So, between 1964-1965, Walt purchased 27,000 acres of swampland in Florida. When it was discovered who was buying the land, the remaining land prices jumped from $183 an acre to $1000 an acre.

Walt wanted people to feel they were in special place when they visited his amusement parks. Walt decided his new park would be called Disneyworld.
Walt’s plan also included a city of tomorrow, what he called an experimental prototype community of tomorrow. In short, Walt called it EPCOT. He wanted EPCOT to include all possible scientific advances.

Unfortunately, Walt’s health began to fail in 1966, but he relentlessly worked on his dream. However, on December 15,1966, the world suffered a great loss when Mr. Walter Elias Disney passed away. Walt would never see his beloved Disneyworld or EPCOT, but his brother Roy, would make sure that Walt’s dream was completed. Roy renamed Disneyworld to Walt Disney world. He said it would include Walt’s name so that everyone would always remember that it was Walt’s dream. It opened on October 1st, 1971. Walt Disney’s dream really did come true!

It is divided into four main theme parks: The magic kingdom, animal kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s MGM Studios. It also has two water parks typhoon lagoon and blizzard beach.
