Where to stay?
The Orlando area offers hundreds of
accommodations choices for your Disney World vacation. If you stay
on
Disney property, you have the advantage of free
transportation among the parks and you can go back to your room
for a rest in the afternoon and then return easily to the park in
the evening. However, rates usually are lower at properties
near Disney and in
Kissimmee and many hotels near the resort offer free
shuttle service. |
In the Animal
Kingdom, you can climb
aboard an open-sided Kilimanjaro Safari vehicle to see animals from Africa freely roaming through acres of savannah,
rivers, and rocky hills. The Animal Kingdom also features The
Tree of Life, Festival of the Lion King, DINOSAUR, and It's Tough to be
a Bug.

through time and space within Epcot's Spaceship Earth's world-renowned
180-foot-tall geosphere to discover communications at work. Epcot also
features thrill rides such as Mission: SPACE, The Living Seas and "Honey I Shrunk the
Audience" while allowing you to visit other countries including
Mexico, France, Canada and China.

destinations.
The Magic Kingdom is accessible by water
launch from Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort

to Magic Kingdom parking).
Disney's monorail runs between the Magic
Kingdom Park, Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Grand Floridian
Resort & Spa, Disney's Polynesian Resort and the Transportation and Ticket
Center. A connecting monorail takes guests from the Transportation and
Ticket Center to Epcot.
Disney's FASTPASS service allows you
to make a reservation at some of the more popular attractions and avoid
waiting in line. Look for a FASTPASS sign at the attraction's entrance to
see if it's offered.
Proper dress is required at all Disney World
Theme Parks. Shirt and shoes must be worn at all times. At the Water
Parks, swim attire with rivets, buckles or exposed metal is not
permitted on the water attractions.
