# Wishes do come true at Walt Disney World, Florida
## Four theme parks and two water parks... Walt Disney World in Florida is
beyond your imagination, says Sheila Compton.

When you set foot in Walt Disney World in Florida, you enter a place of
imagination and wonder. It's where adults find their inner child and children
find that dreams come true.

More than 20 years have elapsed since I first took my children to Walt Disney
World. They claim it was the best holiday they ever had - and we've got the
photo albums to prove it. Now they have taken their own children to Florida to
recapture the magic.
The memories live on: from that first magical glimpse of Cinderella Castle
across the lake, to the wow factor of Epcot and the white-knuckle thrills of
the water parks.
And though each day is packed with sensational entertainment, you can go at
your own pace, with plenty of opportunity for rest and relaxation.
Today, Walt Disney World is even bigger and better. There are four theme parks
and two water parks - and the excitement packed into the 47-square- mile world
is unparalleled.

The theme parks brim with imaginative entertainment, whatever your age, amid a
backdrop of Florida sunshine, swaying palm trees and the can-do attitude of
the helpful and courteous Disney staff.
Entering **Magic Kingdom** is like stepping into a fairy tale. There are
classic attractions, colourful Disney parades and fireworks, plus hair-raising
rides and shows.
In the 107 acres you not only meet favourite Disney characters such as Mickey
and Minnie but get a chance to be a pirate or even conquer a mountain.
**Epcot** is divided into Future World, dedicated to technological innovation,
and World Showcase, which celebrates the culture and cuisine of 11 different
nations, each with its own pavilion fringing a large lake. It's a chance to
take a round-the- world tour without catching a boat or plane.
And when the sun goes down, you can be dazzled by the nightly firework
display, music and laser show that is Illuminations: Reflections of Earth,
while enjoying dinner or a drink at one of the many locations around the lake.
Disney's **Animal Kingdom Park **is the largest of its kind in the world. It
is home to more than 1,700 animals from 250 species and sprawls across 500
acres of lush landscape. The park is filled with attractions, adventures and
entertainment that reflect Walt Disney's dedication to nature and conservation
and leads the way in animal care, education and research.
The glitz and glamour of the Hollywood Heydays from the Thirties and Forties
are captured by the neon, chrome, art deco and modern architecture throughout
**Disney's Hollywood Studios **theme park.
The resort offers behind-the-scenes glimpses of film action with live shows,
thrilling attractions, backstage tours and special events. The streets and
sections of the park's four areas blend together like a large, bustling movie
set.
Step into the action with new attractions such as the American Idol Experience
or be part of a rock 'n' roll fantasy. Feel like a star, or come face-to-face
with one.
Walt Disney World also has two superb water parks. **Disney's Typhoon Lagoon**
has attractions for the whole family from fast waterslides to a children's
area with pint-sized raft rides. You can catch six-foot waves in the Surf Pool
and or get the ultimate adrenalin rush by snorkelling in Shark Reef -- along
with real sharks. And **Blizzard Beach **features one of the world's highest
and fastest waterslides, as well as slides and rides for all the family.
Walt Disney World boasts **more than 100 restaurants** offering global top-
class cuisine and a huge sports complex with world-class golf courses.
And in the night-time, **Disney's BoardWalk and Downtown Disney Area** offer
plenty of opportunities for family entertainment, with clubs, live music and
shows.
The accommodation is equally varied. There are **more than 20 themed hotels**,
all with the famous Disney commitment to excellence.
Loads of extra benefits make your stay even more special. With four different
hotel categories, there's one to suit everyone's taste and budget. Children
love the theming and parents appreciate the hotels' standard of service and
relaxation facilities. After a full-on day at one of the parks with excited
kids, what could be better than relaxing by the pool, reliving the fantastic
family fun and looking forward to the amazing times that lie ahead?
