Disney of the World

Do you love watching Disney cartoons? Have you been to any Disney theme parks before? Children love Disneyland and adults simply love to re-live their childhood dreams… Disneyland is the “Happiest Place on Earth”. Below is a list of Disney resorts around the world in Paris-France, Tokyo-Japan, Hong Kong-China, Orlando-Florida and Anaheim-California.

I have only been to Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, and it is the most visited and largest recreational resort in the world. Taken this photo with Cinderella Castle in the background during July 2007. Other Disney resorts around the world may have Sleeping Beauty Castle instead of Cinderella Castle.

Walt Disney World – Animal Kingdom

Our Disneyland Passes allowed us to enter four theme parks: Magical Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studio (It was called MGM Studio when we were there.) and Animal Kingdom. We had two days to tour around four theme parks.

We visited Animal Kingdom, followed by Epcot in the afternoon as there would be a round of spectacular firework display throughout the night.

To go Disneyland, we need to take designated buses to the theme parks as the hotel shuttle bus would only stop at the theme park bus terminal. We were impressed to see that the buses could be lowered or “kneeled” by the bus operator and were equipped with a wheelchair ramp for the disables.

My first thought of Animal Kingdom was just another zoo, but it’s definitely more than a zoo! We were already there queuing up before 9am to beat the lines for the rides.ak1.jpg

Finally, we entered the park and were ushered to a big open space where Mini, Goofy and Pluto greeted us and introduced the icon of Animal Kingdom – Tree of Life, a 14-storey and 50-foot wide tree with the swirling tapestry of 325 animal carvings.

Walt Disney World – Magical Kingdom

We boarded the hotel shuttle bus around 7:50am and took the designated bus at Disney terminal to Magical Kingdom first as we thought it would draw more crowds later in the day due to firework display at night.

Walt Disney World – MGM (now Hollywood Studios)

Having done with Magical Kingdom in the early afternoon, we hurried off to the last theme park on our list – MGM Studio, a movie theme park drawing inspiration from the heyday of Hollywood.

We were just in time for the Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade. It was drizzling during the parade.
