The happiest place on earth


photo by Samuel Justice

Disney World is located near Orlando Florida and was the second park created by Walt Disney. Walt never lived to see his park open but it was his brain child and the place where he was going to correct all the errors he had made at his first park in California.

Since the Magic Kingdom opened in 1971, three additional theme parks and two water parks have opened on the 43 square miles that is the Disney World property. There are also about two dozen hotels and resorts on the property. They have their own transportation, restaurants and facilities. You can come here and never leave the property.
