Walt Disney World Resort
Walt Disney World Resort is the largest theme park in the world, which covers a space almost twice the size of Manhattan. The park is divided into four theme parks, alongside water parks, restaurants, theatres and hotels. The four theme parks include the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The best known of the four theme parks is the Magic Kingdom, which provides traditional Disney rides and attractions as well as allows visitors to meet their favourite Disney characters. Epcot explores the earth's natural phenomena as well as takes visitors on virtual trips around countries such as China and France (in World Showcase) and offers a glimpse into the technology of the future (in unDISCOVERed Future World). Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a theme park featuring rides, shows and tours inspired by Hollywood stories, such as ‘The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror’. At Disney's Animal Kingdom, visitors can learn about the animal kingdom, enjoy shows such as the 'Festival of the Lion King', and go on an animated jungle trek or African-style safari.
