About Walt Disney World Resort

Walt Disney World opened on October 1, 1971, and covers nearly 25,000 acres about 20 miles southwest of Orlando. It holds four theme parks (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom), two water parks (Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach), the Disney Springs shopping and dining district and more than 30 Disney hotels. Free Disney buses link the whole property, the monorail runs between Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and three hotels, the Skyliner gondola joins Hollywood Studios and EPCOT with four hotels, and ferries cross to Magic Kingdom. One-day tickets for ages 10 and up start at $119 plus tax.
