Exploring Walt Disney And Disney World Hotels

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.

Currently, the resort plays home to an outdoor shopping complex, a number of entertainment venues, a camping resort, several golf courses and nine hotels which are not owned by the company. While this is the case, there are 27 themed resort hotels, 2 water parks and 4 theme parks, all of which are owned by the resort.

The original plan for the resort was to supplement the California Disney park in Anaheim, California. In the case of California, the park opened in the mid-1950s, after which Walt began work on the design for the resort in Florida in the 1960s. During this time, the planning phase was known as the Florida Project. For, the intention was to build a separate and diverse identity rather than mimic the park in California.

One of the highlights of the resort is that of EPCOT, which was in the plans from the beginning phase of the project. For, the Experimental Prototype of Tomorrow was a vision which Walt had long hoped of sharing with the world. Now, it is only one of four amusement parks in the complex.

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 abandoned the early concepts which Walt brought to the table. After with construction began on Magic Kingdom which later opened in 19721. EPCOT was completed in 1982, Animal Kingdom in 1998 and Hollywood Studios in 1989. Animal Kingdom is the newest park in the complex. Whereas, the new Star Wars Experience is on track to be the most visited attraction in the park.

The resort is one of the most visited vacation spots in the world. With an annual attendance in the millions, the resort is a destination for a number of corporate outings, schools and the public. As such, the resort has become a staple with regards to American vacations and 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.

While this is the case, travelers can also find a number other hotels in the vicinity, some which will also provide shuttles to and from the airport and parks. As such, the value of these all-inclusive packages can often be great for corporations, schools and families. Whereas, individuals, especially those whom are members of AARP or AAA, may want to opt for staying at a local non-Disney hotel. For, there are often discounts from these organizations with regards to hotel stay and park admission whether purchasing a one-day, one-park or multi-day, multi-park ticket.
