Discovering Disney World Hotels And History Of Parks

By Frances Kelly


Officially, the Disney World Resort and Theme park complex is known as Walt Disney Resort. The complex in Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake Florida is situated near Orlando, Florida and host several disney world hotels. While originally built and owned by Walt's company, the complex now has a new owner.

The resort hosts 27 themed hotels, nine corporate hotels, a camping resort and multiple golf courses. In addition, there are 2 water parks, 4 theme parks and 27 themed hotels. There are also a number of indoor and outdoor dining options, a shopping center and other attractions such as art galleries and museums.

Originally designed to supplement Disneyland out of Anaheim, California, a park which opened in the mid-1950s, the complex was designed by Walt in the 1960s. Known originally as the Florida project, the intention was to have a diverse and separate identity to that of the park in California.

One of the highlights of the resort is that of EPCOT, which was in the plans from the beginning phase of the project. For, the Experimental Prototype of Tomorrow was a vision which Walt had long hoped of sharing with the world. Now, it is only one of four amusement parks in the complex.

Before Walt could begin work on the Florida Project, it took a great deal of lobbying before the Reed Creek Improvement district became a reality. After which, Disney gained the rights to become an incorporated city. Sadly, Walt passed away before the work began and never lived to see the completion of the project. Later, the company began creating a resort akin to that of the location in California.

In the process, the company abandoned earlier concepts for a planned community and village. After which, the company opened Magic Kingdom in 1971. Then, Epcot was completed in 1982 and Hollywood Studios in 1989 with Animal Kingdom opening in 1998. The most recent attraction to any of the parks is that of the new Star Wars Experience.

The resort is one of the most visited vacation spots in the world. With an annual attendance in the millions, the resort is a destination for a number of corporate outings, schools and the public. As such, the resort has become a staple with regards to American vacations and culture.

A number of long distance travelers prefer to stay at the on-site hotels. For, most offer free transportation between hotel and airport and park entrances. In addition, there are all-inclusive packages which also include park admission and other benefits such as dining passes and all you can drink glasses.

While a number of people prefer to stay on-site, there are a number of lodging options in the area. In many cases, area hotels have similar amenities to those owned by the resort at a lower nightly rate. Most often, the higher the rate, the more benefits with regards to shuttles and park packages an hotel has to offer.
