Q: What's at the Walt Disney World Resort?
A: A lot of people still think of Walt Disney World Resort as just the Magic Kingdom Park, but there's much more to it than that. Walt Disney World Resort, located near Orlando, Florida, is 122 square kilometres -- as big as Greater Manchester! In it you'll discover four entire Theme Parks, two Water Parks, two night-time entertainment areas, over 20 Hotels, six golf courses and much, much more.
The Take a Quick Tour Now! section of the site will give you a great overview of this magical holiday destination.
Q: What are the best ages to take children on a Walt Disney World holiday?
A: That's hard to answer. Repeat guests have said that each visit has been a unique and priceless experience. Older children can't wait to take the rides or splash through a Water Park. While younger ones delight in the distinctly Disney activities designed especially for them, not to mention magical meetings with the Disney Characters. (Remember, children under three are granted complimentary admission to the Theme Parks.) Each time you visit, you enjoy different things.
There are also a variety of services for children of all ages. All Theme Parks offer stroller rental and baby changing facilities. All of Disney's Hotels offer baby-sitting service and select Hotels even provide supervised children's activities.
Q: I don't have children. What is there for adults to see and do?
A: The Walt Disney World Resort offers entertainment, attractions, shopping and cuisine from around the world designed to appeal to the child in everyone. But there are also a variety of activities just for adults. The Resort Hotels feature complete full-service health facilities, plus a variety of recreation that includes tennis, water sports, fishing, horseback riding -- even six golf courses. Of course, when night falls, adults will love to stay up late at either of the two night-time entertainment areas.
See the Shopping, Entertainment and Recreation section of this site for more information on the adult side of Disney.
Q: How long can I expect to queue for a ride?
A: There can be quite a wait for popular rides, but there are also many ways to cut your waiting time. Check out Disney's new FASTPASS, an exclusive guest service that lets you spend less time waiting in line and more time enjoying the Parks. You just check in at some of your favourite Disney attractions and receive a designated ride time and on your return, quickly board. Here are more tips on how to avoid long queues in individual Theme Parks.
