Walt Disney and his brother Roy Disney founded Disney studios in 1923. Walt began to realize when traveling with his own children that there was a need for a fun family oriented park with the positive aspects of carnivals but minus the negative. People who visited his studio wrote letters expressing their enjoyment, and he became committed to creating the park, eventually buying 160 acres of land in Orange County, California. Needing outside financing Walt created a TV show called Disneyland for the ABC television network, a show which lasted many years and is still in reruns today under the various names it held: Walt

Disneys Wonderful World of Color, Walt Disneys Wonderful World, and World of Disney. The show always opened with a scene from Disneyland and the fairy, Tinkerbell, spreading fairy dust.

Opening day in 1955 included Walts guests; Ronald Regan, Bob Cummings and Art Linkletter, and a massive crowd, with Disneyland quickly becoming the most popular theme park in the world. Disneyworld in Florida opened in 1971. It includes the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios and Disneys Animal Kingdom, as well as two water parks, six golf courses, a sports complex, an auto race track, over 20 hotels and many other sources of entertaining, shopping and dining suited for the entire family. Disneyworld in Florida is the worlds largest theme park.

Disney originally envisioned his Florida property to be just a larger Disneyland that could expand without the land limits or the California Park. He also wanted to include EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. A true man of vision, Disney created the place to be a land of fun for the family, but Disney died in 1966 and wasnt able to see it completed. His bother Roy renamed it Walt Disney World in his honor.

When planning a mouse vacation in Florida, try to stay in one of the onsite properties to save time. They cost about the same as other hotels further away, but can save a tremendous amount of time for the family and are available for all budges. These include several themed hotels, rental condominiums, cottages and even family friendly camping grounds. An advantage to being on Disney property is the availability of free transportation to and from each of the theme parks within the complex. The Walt Disney World resort features four theme parks; Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney-MGM Studios, and Disneys Animal Kingdom. Each park has definite must see attractions.

At the Magic Kingdom a visitor immediately sees a bronze statue of the partners, Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. When entering Main Street a visitor will see a barbershop offering free haircuts, an Emporium with a variety of souvenirs, and Cinderella Castle. This is followed by Adventureland which includes the Swiss family Treehouse, the Enchanted Tiki Room (a musical show which includes characters from Aladdin and The Lion King, the Jungle Cruse, the Magic Carpets of Aladdin, and the Pirates of the Caribbean boat ride. Then Frontierland which features Splash Mountain log flue, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad roller coaster, Tom Sawyer Island, and the Country Bear Jamboree anamatronic show with singing bears.

Always popular Fantasyland features its a small world, Peter Pans Flight, Mickeys Philhar Magic, Cinderellas golden Carrousel, and a Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride. Fantasyland is capped off with tributes to Winnie the Poo, Snow White and the Mad Tea Party from Alice in Wonderland. This is followed by Mickeys Toontown Fair, a tribute to the mouse and his friends, and then Tomorrowland. Tomorrowland includes a simulated racetrack, Space Mountain roller coaster, the Astro Orbiter, the Carousel of Progress which debuted at the 1964 New York Worlds Fair, Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin ride, The Timekeeper, and Stitchs Great Escape.
