'''Walt Disney World Resort''' A resort and theme-park tourist destination located near Orlando, Florida. A sequel to [[Disneyland]], the Walt Disney World resort covers approximately 27,5000 acres devoted to [[Walt Disney]]'s vision of a destination that would provide a complete vacation opportunity for visiting families.
Developed under the [[Reedy Creek Improvement District]], '''Walt Disney World''' theme parks have grown from the original [[Magic Kingdom]] (which opened in 1971) to include the [[EPCOT]] Center (which opened in 1982), the [[Disney Hollywood Studios]] (which opened in 1988), and [[Disney's Animal Kingdom]] (which opened in 1998).
== RESORTS ==
From a handful of hotels and a campground when it opened in 1971, Walt Disney World has grown to 25 resorts and a campground featuring architecture designed to reflect differing themes. Resorts are grouped according to their relative expense, sometimes also reflecting the amount of space provided by the accomodations.
