Hey there, Emilie, and welcome to planDisney!
It sounds like you're looking to plan a visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth — and you've come to the right place to get all the information you need!
Walt Disney World Resort is home to four theme parks and two water parks. Let me share a little bit about what makes each park so special:
Magic Kingdom is where fairy tales come to life! It's home to the iconic Cinderella Castle, which serves as the heart of the park. Here, you'll find classic attractions like
Pirates of the Caribbean and
Haunted Mansion, along with parades, character meet-and-greets, and
nightly fireworks. Magic Kingdom is where dreams come true for Guests of all ages.
EPCOT is a celebration of innovation, culture, and discovery. Here, you can experience futuristic attractions, world-class dining, and immersive pavilions in the World Showcase that highlight the unique traditions of different countries. EPCOT is known for its seasonal festivals throughout the year.
Hollywood Studios brings the magic of movies to life! If you're a Star Wars fan, this park is a must-visit, with attractions like
Smugglers Run and
Rise of the Resistance offering truly immersive experiences. There's also something for classic movie lovers, from
Toy Story Land to the thrilling
Tower of Terror.
Animal Kingdom is a lush, adventurous park where nature meets Disney magic. Here you'll explore the wild beauty of the park through animal exhibits, treks through the jungle, and thrilling rides like
Expedition Everest and
Avatar Flight of Passage. Animal Kingdom offers an experience that combines the wonders of the natural world with Disney storytelling.
In addition to the four theme parks, Walt Disney World is also home to two water parks:
Typhoon Lagoon and
Blizzard Beach. However, it's important to note that only one of these parks is open at a time, so it's a good idea to check the schedule to see which one is welcoming Guests during your visit. Here's a planDisney tip: Guests staying at a
Disney Resort in 2025 will receive
FREE Water Park admission on their check-in day!
Emilie, I know I've just given you a lot of information, so if you have any additional questions, please come back and visit us again — we're always happy to help!
