EPCOT 

Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow

Now this is my personal favorite!
This theme park is split into 2 distinct areas, Future World and World Showcase and it is huge! So be prepared to walk a long way to enjoy the attractions which include Test Track and the very popular Soarin Over California.
Take your time to browse around World Showcase which has rides, attractions and shopping.
If you have young children consider renting a stroller - you will be glad you did when they start complaining how they can't walk another step!

Disney MGM Studios 

Opening on May 1st 1989 this is the smallest of the Walt Disney World theme parks. If you can call 135 acres small! Disney MGM Studios is packed with rides and entertainment.

This is perhaps the least tiring of the parks as there are lots of shows - so you can sit down! Great shows include Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, Beauty and the Beast, Lights Motor Action, and Playhouse Disney. It has 2 of the best rides at Disney too - Tower of Terror and Rock N Roller Coaster!

Disney's Animal Kingdom 

Want to combine the Disney magic with the world of the Animal Kingdom? Over 1000 animals in a park of over 500 acres Disney's Animal Kingdom takes the concept of an animal park to a new dimension.

Disney's Animal Kingdom has rides, shows and attractions all based around the animal theme. It has 6 lands - The Oasis, Discovery Island, Dinoland USA, Camp Minnie Mickey, Africa and Asia.

Disney's Animal Kingdom is a huge park - almost five times the size of Magic Kingdom. But don't worry, most of it is for the animals!

Disney's Blizzard Beach 

When it snowed in Florida a savvy entrepreneur decided to open a ski resort. Of course the snow melted in the sunshine state and all that was left of the resort was the mountain, the ski lifts, the slopes.... The melted snow formed the Blizzard Beach lagoon which is fed by the mountain streams.

Just a story of course, but this is the idea behind the design of Disney's Blizzard Beach water park!

What you get is a fabulous water park with amazing slides and a giant wave pool.
