A Brief History Of Disney World Hotels And Parks

By Frances Kelly


The Disney World complex in Bay Lake and Buena Vista, Florida is located near Orlando. While there are several hotels in these areas, not all are disney world hotels, though some do offer the same benefits. While the area surrounding Disney World originally had a different owner, the area is now owned and operated by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, a subsidiary of the original owner.

The resort currently host several live music venues, a camping resort, golf courses and nine hotels. Whereas, there are also 27 hotels, 4 theme parks and 2 water parks which are part of, and owned by the resort. In addition, whether taking a shuttle or traveling by mono-rail, there is great transportation when it comes from traveling to and from each park.

In the original plans, the resort was to be a supplement to that of Disneyland in California. In the early phase, the area was planned to be a community and village where people could live and play. As such, it was the intention to build a place which would provide a separate and unique identity to that of the California parks.

One of the biggest highlights is the EPCOT attraction. For, individuals can travel around the world, step into the future and taste foods from around the world. While Disney had an idea for EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype of Tomorrow, the attraction now serves millions of visitors each year. While an early development, EPCOT now shares the limelight with three other theme parks on the resort.

While this is the case, it took extensive lobbying to the Government of Florida before the Reedy Creek Improvement district was constructed and developed. As part of the agreement, Disney gained the rights to be an autonomous incorporated city. While this was the case, Walt passed away before work began on the construction of the city. After which, the company began creating a resort similar to that of the park in California.

The company later abandoned the earlier concepts for a planned village and community. After which, Magic Kingdom was the first theme park to open in 1971. Later, Epcot was built in 1982, Hollywood Studios in 1989 and Animal Kingdom, the most recent in 1998. The newest attraction is that of the Star Wars Experience, complete with costumes, characters, games and rides related to the film enterprise.

Currently, the resort continues to be one of the most popular attractions in America. With millions in attendance each year, the resort remains a destination for vacationers, corporations, schools and others. As such, it has become a staple with regards to American 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.

Whether traveling with a group, or on a solo mission, there are a number of hotels outside the resort which often come with lower prices tags. While this is the case, it is often recommended that individuals read a number of reviews and testimonials related to off-site lodging. For, while some may offer the same amenities and benefits as those on-site, those are few and far between.
