Hiii,
I am a girl who is on top of the world writing this blog! I can’t lie, I genuinely done my travel agent certifications and now specialised with Disney Stars for my own benefits. I save some money booking. I get previews and deals for all my travels all over the world. In terms of Disney I chose to specialise with them because… obviously it’s me lol. I love the parks, the movies, the merch and the company as a whole! I don’t work for Disney. I’m not even a travel agent as my job. I done these qualifications and certifications for me and my friends/fam to enjoy the benefits of (and anyone who reads my blogs of course lol). However, I am ABTA registered, ATOL protected and completed my Walt Disney World Florida course with Disney Stars (this is their official travel agent training). Very exciting!
I’ve done Disney blogs before but never actually talking about the parks specifically! So if your headed on your Orlando holiday soon or deciding to go, I hope this can help you with your planning!
4 Theme Parks: Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and EPCOT.
Magic Kingdom:
The iconic park and home to Cinderella’s Castle.
Wonder and fantasy is everywhere in Magic Kingdom! With 6 enchanted lands and over 40 magical attractions make it a place where Disneys fantasies and characters timelessly come to life! Don’t worry I have a blog post for each park planned to give a full detailed run down of what rides you can find here, where to eat and attractions that you might want to get involved in if rides aren’t your thing!
TOP TIP: Make the most of your time and head straight to Adventureland when starting your Magic Kingdom day. Most people start in Fantasyland or Tomorrowland, to avoid the morning crowds make your merry way through Main Street USA and take right to explore the magic of Adventureland.
Hollywood Studios:
My personal favourite. You join in on the action and exhilarating new adventures, lands and attractions to engage everyone of all ages!
You are captivated stepping into a fully immersive world packed with classic favourites like; The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster staring Aerosmith… just to name a few of my personal favs!
Live shows are also available in this park including For the First Time in Forever: a Frozen Singalong Celebration and Beauty & The Beast Live on Stage. Which sadly we didn’t get to experience on our trip but are both very high on our to do list for our next!
Again I will post a dedicated blog to Hollywood Studios magic so you can understand why I love it so much!
EPCOT:
You can travel 11 countries in just 1 day at the World Showcase situated around the lagoon in EPCOT. Each pavilion offers unique insight to that country with bespoke cuisine, authentic produce and themed entertainment & attractions.
EPCOT is also home to both myself and Jordan’s favourite Disney rollercoaster… Guardian’s of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. I cannot express this enough, look it at this video. It’s amazing.
Animal Kingdom:
Explore and experience the magic of nature throughout the day and into the night. Discover rare animals, authentic adventures and energetic entertainment, all alive with magic!
Home to over 1,500 animals park wide. Guests can get up close and visit animals at Flying Shows, Maharajah Jungle Trek and Kilimanjaro Safari’s through the Savanna.
You can also explore the world of Pandora (Avatar). If I can express anything it’s this. Even if you have never watched Avatar or have no interest in it. You will love this land. It’s genuine one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen and it’s a theme park?! Do not miss this one on your trip!
That rounds up the brief introductions to what each of the 4 Disney World theme parks are and what goes on in them! Next up is the water parks… I won’t be doing a designated post on these, so I will give you the full run down now!
