Watching a parade in Magic Kingdom, snacking around the world at Epcot, dropping 13 stories in a haunted hotel elevator in Hollywood Studios, and embarking on your very own safari ride in Animal Kingdom are just some of the things you can do when visiting Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL.
Whether it's your first time or 100th time visiting Disney World, there is always something new to discover. Plus, I feel like the only constant at Disney World is change...so, there is always something new and exciting to learn about when it comes to planning your Disney World vacation.
Explore the Parks
Magic Kingdom
Disney World's first park that opened October 1, 1971. This park is home to the iconic Cinderella Castle, attractions like "Its a Small World" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," and probably the park you think of first when you think of Disney World.

Epcot
Epcot is most known for eating and drinking around the 11 countries in World Showcase during one of its 4 yearly festivals. It's also home to some of the most popular attractions at Disney World (I'm looking at you, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), and the place where you'll find the most amount of character meet & greets.

Hollywood Studios
If you're a fan of Toy Story, Star Wars, or thrill rides, Hollywood Studios is the park for you! This park will make you feel like you have stepped right into some of Disney's most famous movies! Not to mention, you can ride Disney World's only ride that goes upside-down, Rock-n-Roller Coaster.

Animal Kingdom
Calling all animal lovers! Animal Kingdom is the only Disney World park that features real, live animals. This ain't your mama's petting zoo! Get fully immersed into the wildlife of an actual African safari experience. Plus, you can step into the world of Avatar, Pandora, for one of Disney's most state-of-the-art attractions: Flight of Passage.
