Walt Disney World Power

Disney World is HUGE

Disney World is huge in just about every single sense of the word. I’m not only talking about the space itself, which is 25,000 acres, but also the sheer scale of the operation of the multiple parks as a whole. Disney employs more than 74,000 employees and it has over 45 rides, not to mention the fact that there are many other attractions on top of this inside the parks to enjoy. It also has its own hotels and even its own intrapark monorail transit system. This transport system links all the major theme parks and water parks that is Disney World.

This includes the “four kingdoms” (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom), as well as the two waterparks (Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach).

The sheer size of Disney means that you can spend countless days there and still not see everything it has to offer. It also means that there is literally something for everyone: whether you’re an animal lover, an adrenaline junky, or whether you just love Walt Disney, you’ll find what you’re looking for here.

But more than all that, Disney World is simply breathtaking to behold and nothing can prepare you for the sense of awe you feel upon arriving. This is essentially a large town with its own economy and culture, but one that feels as though it has been pulled straight from a dream or a cartoon. Just like Las Vegas, this is a testament to human achievement and imagination, and it’s something you’ll never forget.

Disney Artistry and Attention to Detail

So we’ve already covered the fact that Disney World is big, but being big isn’t enough in itself. What makes this place so impressive is the amazing attention to detail and the incredible artistry. Jump on one of the rides, and you’ll be stunned to see just how intricate much of the sculpting is and how the animatronic creations move in such a lifelike manner.

Cool air breathes on the back of your neck when a roller coaster passes through an environment that is intended to feel cold, voices narrate the experience in your ear from the headrest of your ride in surround sound, and more!

That sense of incredible detail continues as you head around the park outside. Everything from the street lamps, to the costumes, to the music has been carefully chosen. You’ll find huge man-made trees and rocks, perfectly kept garden areas, and beautifully themed stores. You may even be surprised to know that there’s an underground tunnel system designed to allow the characters to get to their proper section. Nothing’s worse than seeing a cowboy in the outer space section, or vice versa.

Again, the sheer amount of work and love that has gone into this place is something that you really need to see to believe.

Disney’s Educational, Historical and…Cute

You might think of Disney World as being a highly commercial theme park full of sweets, fun rides, and gaudy kids’ characters… and it is all that, but it’s also actually a lot more than that. What might surprise you is just how educational Disney is, ensuring that it can also help your children to learn something new while visiting.

Disney World has many attractions and features that lend themselves to learning. For example, how about the Epcot World Showcase? This is a huge attraction that aims to recreate the feeling of visiting different countries. Disney does this by showcasing real, lifelike replications of different aspects of the countries it features. They recreate some of the architecture, feature themed rides, and even hire chefs from those countries to put together real dishes of the local cuisine! If you want to expand your child’s mind, then this is an amazing way to do so.

Then there’s the Animal Kingdom park, which is essentially the biggest zoo you’re likely to visit! Or how about visiting the studios and seeing how the cartoons get made? The possibilities are endless and a trip to Disney World will definitely broaden your child’s mind, even if they may not realize it.

you should visit Disney World because it is a piece of history. There truly is no other place like this, and it’s something that could one day be talked about by future historians.

Even now though, the place can provide some fascinating insight into the history of Disney, and of the country. Many of these rides have been around since the park opened in 1967 – refurbished of course – which feels as though you are stepping back in time!

The fact that Disney World has been around for so long, only helps to lend to its greater gravitas, culture, and tradition. You feel as though you’re visiting a historical landmark – which is because you are!

Something you might not expect is just how cute Disney is. Disney is cute because many of the characters are cute, sure. It’s also adorable to see all those kids running around and having such an amazing time. It is filled with small cobbled streets, tiny lampposts, and fun shops for kids. Everything is safe and everything is family-friendly. In short, it’s adorable.
