What is Disney World? That's a really good place to start because if you've never been before then the chances are this is the highest on your list of things to do, but you don't know quite what it is. Basically it's a huge resort which we're told is about the size of greater Manchester! Unfortunately it's not all filled with rides – imagine that!
Instead you have 4 different theme parks, 2 water parks, an evening entertainment district, a huge sports ground, and dozens of hotels. They are all linked by a series of main roads, but you can get from one to another very easily because there is a regular bus service. Don't worry, there's not much hanging around, they're a lot more efficient than over here! There is also a monorail between some parks and a river boat.
The theme parks are :
There are also the highly rated water parks:
That's not all though, Disney World Florida also features a shopping, dining and entertainment zone called Down Town Disney. This is home to the fantastic Cirque du Soleil (not included in the price, but tickets are widely available in the UK), DisneyQuest, which is an indoor park full of virtual reality machines and Pleasure Island which is home various bars and night clubs.
Finally, there is also Disney's Wide World of Sports, which caters for an unbelievable range of activities, but is really not worth visiting unless you are going to watch an event, and in which case you will most likely have to book and pay locally. One thing to mention is that it is not possible to book tickets for any sports event through any UK companies, so you would need to contact Disney directly for this.
The popular Character Breakfasts are mostly only available to book directly through Disney also, and you can do this up to 6 months prior to your preferred date. However, there are some UK companies offering tickets packaged with a limo transfer from your hotel. This is great if you are not staying at Disney and really adds an extra bit of excitement, but if you are already staying on Disney property, then it is best to book direct.
