Touring the "World"

Disney has created a world packed with magic, laughter and wonders. How can you possibly take it all in? What with the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney/MGM Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Downtown Disney, the BoardWalk, Pleasure Island, three water parks, Disney's Wide World of Sports, DisneyQuest, 99 holes of golf, the Walt Disney World Speedway… frankly, we don't think you should try! The best you can do (and that "best" is pretty darned good) is to choose the most appealing goodies from Disney's fabulous menu, based on the time you can devote to such a grand tour.

"Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a place to explore with open eyes and eager minds. Lace up your boots, grab your safari hat, and load your camera—the adventure is about to begin!" -- Page 126, PassPorter Walt Disney World
