A visit to Epcot at Walt Disney World can be a truly wonderful experience, as Epcot embraces both education and entertainment in a way only Disney can. The attractions are top notch and are enjoyed by people of all ages. Epcot its covers nearly 300 acres and is arranged in two sections, Future World and World Showcase.
A little advance planning before your trip to Epcot will allow you to experience all the park has to offer without the stress normally associated with touring a theme park. When planning your visit to Epcot several factors should be considered. The ages of the people in your traveling party and the number of days you have available to spend at Epcot are the most important things to consider.
This moderate class hotel located in the Epcot area has over 2000 rooms spread over a sprawling 200 acres. When you arrive at the resort complex your first stop will be at the Custom House, the hotel’s lobby area - here you can check in, buy theme park tickets, make dinner reservations or visit the front desk for any hotel issues.
The rooms are section off into “villages”, each named for a Caribbean location. At check in you will be told your rooms location. If you are driving to the resort you can then move your vehicle to a parking area located right outside your room area. If you arrived without your own car you will be taken to your room location by a cast member - the check-in area in not within easy walking distance of most hotel rooms.
Opened in 2001, this Disney Deluxe resort is located about one mile from the Animal Kingdom Park. The theme of this resort is an African Savanna and Lodge. Everywhere you look, you will see the animal theme from the architecture to the live animals in the savannas. The lodge has nearly 1300 rooms and is home to more than 100 birds and animals, including zebras, giraffes and gazelles.
The lobby is filled with colorful artwork and includes a large fireplace made of mud. A suspension bridge floats high above the lobby area. As you explore the grounds you will experience remarkable views of the animals. The resort is filled with animal viewing areas with comfortable seating and some even have viewing binoculars to help you see the animals “close up”.
This Disney deluxe class resort is located in the Magic Kingdom area, between the Contemporary resort and Fort Wilderness. The “theme” of this resort is that of a National Park, as the entire resort has a lodge feel that captures the spirit of the American West in the early 1900’s. The parking area is conveniently located in front of the lobby area of the hotel and is within comfortable walking distance to the hotel.
The lobby itself is very breathtaking as its architecture includes massive log columns and totem poles. A large fireplace in the lobby welcomes you with comfortable rocking chairs, as a babbling stream runs into the lobby, creating a very peaceful mood.
A visit to the Magic Kingdom in Orlando Florida can be a wonderful vacation for many families. With millions of visitors each year, the Magic Kingdom is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world.
When planning your vacation to Orlando, there are certain things to consider when choosing the best time to visit the Magic Kingdom. If you are able to visit during the least crowded times (any time schools are in session) you will have a less stressful vacation. If you must travel during the summer months, during holiday breaks or other times when schools are out, you will need to take certain actions to improve your chances of having a fabulous trip. This includes allotting extra days for visiting the park, and being able to skip some attractions and focus on your “must sees”.
The Polynesian at Walt Disney World is a deluxe class resort in the Magic Kingdom area. The Polynesian (or “Poly”, as frequent visitors refer to it), was one of the first resorts to be built at Disney World.
The close proximity to the Magic Kingdom makes it a very popular hotel choice for Walt Disney World guests. The Polynesian hosts a theme of the South Pacific islands, from the lush vegetation in the grand lobby to the intimate details found in the resort rooms. As you enter the main building in the Polynesian complex, you will be in the two-story lobby, also known as the Great Ceremonial House. In addition to the front desk area, here you will also find shops, restaurants, and a lounge.
Almost every parent who has been to Walt Disney World has had a “magical day” go wrong and turn into a “meltdown day”. Maybe it was the hot sun of July or August, the snail like pace of the line on Dumbo, or one too many verses from “it’s a small world”, but the spot I’ve seen it happen most often is Fantasyland.
The trick to successfully going through Fantasyland, or any of Disney’s parks, is to have a plan, and to use fastpass to your advantage. On my most recent trip to Disney World I used this plan successfully on two days, over the Memorial Day weekend, so unless you go during Christmas or Easter you shouldn’t have a problem getting it to work for you.
Walt Disney World is truly a magical vacation destination and one of the best times of year to visit is during the Christmas Holiday Season. From mid-November through the end of the year, all four of the Disney parks are decorated full tilt and you are completely immersed in the holiday spirit as only Disney can do.
