The centrepiece of Walt Disney World is the Magic Kingdom. Consisting of seven "lands" - Main Street USA, Liberty Square, Adventureland, Frontierland, Mickey's Toontown Fair, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. More than any of the other Disney Parks, this is geared for children. Enter on Main St., USA to capture the essence of early 20th-century America. The architects employed "forced pet as you emergrspective" here, building the ground floor of the shops 9/10ths of the normal size and making the second and third stories progressively smaller. Walt describes his vision in the "Walt Disney Movie" at the Hospitality House, to the righe from under the railroad station. Late in the afternoon, catch the parade down Main St. which showcases all of the Disney Characters. In 1966, Walt Disney dreamed up an "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow" which would evolve constantly to incorporate new ideas from U.S. technology-eventually becoming a self-sufficient futuristic utopia. At present, Epcot splits into Future World, where you can explore new technologies as well as find adventure at sites like Test Track, and Honey I Shrunk the Audience, and World Showcase allowing you to sample culture, architecture and dining from throughout the world. Disney-MGM Studios set out to create a "living movie set". Many familiar Disney characters stroll through the park, as do a host of characters dressed as directors, starlets, gossip columnists, and fans. Stunt shows and mini-theatricals take place continually such as Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, the Backstage Studio Tour and Star Tours to name but a few. Disney relative ABC-TV maintains a high profile and films programs there. Don't forget to ride the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror! Disney's newest theme park is the perfect addition to your vacation. Attraction areas include Africa, Asia, Camp Minnie Mickey, Conservation Station, Dinoland USA and the Safari Village. Tons of live animals spot the park for everyone to enjoy. Cruise the Kilimanjaro safari and encounter zebras, tigers, lions and elephants to start. Also walk the Pangani Exploration Trail to see live gorillas and hippos and more. For extra excitement take the Countdown to Extinction thrill ride in the Dinoland USA area or view life as the bugs do at It's Tough to Be a Bug! Despite an earlier closing time than other parks (7pm), the dinner crowd leaves around 5pm, taking long lines with them. The Kennedy Space Centre Visitor Complex provides an exhilarating and educational experience of the space program. Whether touring the Rocket Garden, or boarding a full-scale replica of the Space Shuttle Explorer, visitors are guaranteed to gain a new perspective on the incredible feats accomplished by the space program. For those old enough to remember it will be a chance to reminisce, for the young ones will be a breathtaking experience to see a single men put his foot onto the moon's surface at the Apollo/Saturn V Centre. The only back-to-back twin IMAX® theatres in the world are located at the Kennedy Space Centre Visitor Complex, showcasing three exciting motion pictures on screens 5-1/2 stories tall! These enormous screens and state of the art sound system allow you to explore into the weightless environment of a space station, take a peek at the future in 3-D and experience the thrilling sensation of space flight. Sea World is an interactive adventure park that combines education, research, and conservation while providing guests with more than 20 shows, attractions, rides, and entertainment exhibits. The Journey to Atlantis water-coaster ride will plunge through unexpected adventures ending on a steep and fast fall. Come face-to-face with the incredible killer whale at the Shamu Adventure. See a Rae breed and join in preservation efforts as you meet one of the most gentle creatures at Manatees: The Last Generation?. The new Cirque de la Mer (Circus of the Sea) a non-traditional circus that blends acrobatics, modern dance, music and comedy will be a rare experience for the visitor. However, make sure you check show times at your arrival and plan you day, or it will be a continuous frustrating experience as you miss show after show. Come to see a working TV and movie production studio. Experience movie-themed rides such as The Mummy, Back to the Future The Ride and Terminator 2: 3-D. View the behind the scenes making of films with such attractions as Alfred Hitchcock: The Art of Making Movies, The Wild Wild Wild West Stunt Show and Hercules & Zena: Wizards of the Screen. Kids will enjoy The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, E.T Adventure, and Barney's stage show. Opened Summer of 1999. Five themed islands with high tech thrill rides and attractions with favourite cartoon characters. Start at the Port of Entry and venture into Marvel SuperHero Island, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, The Lost Continent and Suess Landing. Gatorland is one of Florida's smaller attractions, but it is still well worth a visit. It will take around five hours to see all of the park, but of you visit the children's splash park, called Lilly's Pad, and the and Picnic Area, then you could easily spend a full day there. Entry is less costly than the major theme parks, with an adult ticket costing about $20. Keep an eye out for the coupon books that are all around the area in restaurants etc, and you will probably be able to save $2 each on the entry price. Once inside, you can spend your day viewing a good variety of animal enclosures with snakes, birds and of course alligators. Throughout the day there are a series of shows which are repeated almost continuously so there is usually something you can go and watch. The main ones are the Jumperoo in which alligators will jump up out of the water to grab whole chickens held out for them (on poles). The alligator wrestling is also well worth watching and apart from being educational, the staff make a real effort to be entertaining. For a small extra charge you can even get your photo taken sitting on the back of an alligator holding its jaws. The swamp walk is a great area which is probably as close as you'll ever get to the real Florida. Although only a few hundred yards from civilization, this is like the land that time forgot and really makes you realise what a visionary Walt Disney must have been to ever think you could develop on such land. Round off the day with a train round round the park on their miniature railway, and visit the petting zoo where the kids can happily stroke and feed the ever curious animals which will run over to greet them. |
