ATTRACTIONS — USA:
Disney World in Orlando
Encompassing an area bigger than the island of Manhattan, the Walt Disney
World Resort includes four theme parks, each of them utterly unique.
Magic Kingdom Park prides
itself on its enchanting entertainment, classic attracts, beloved Disney
characters, parades and fireworks – all in all it is called “a
place where fairytale dreams can come true.”
Epcot Park, on the other
hand, is known for attractions and entertainment dedicated to technological
innovation and the culture and cuisine of 11 nations.
Hollywood Studios Park,
in turn, offers a world of big screen thrills, music, animation and live
shows that resemble the style of Broadway.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park
is the world's largest animal-themed park full of attractions, adventure
and fantastic animals.
In addition, there are two water parks: Blizzard
Beach, featuring one of the world's tallest and fastest
waterslides, as well as slides and rides for the whole family, and Typhoon
Lagoon, which includes attractions for the whole family—from
fast waterslides to a children's area with pint-sized raft rides. Here,
you can catch 6-foot waves in the Surf Pool and snorkel Shark Reef—with
real sharks!
