Wikipedia Walt Disney World informatie

Walt Disney World Resort is een Walt Disney-vakantiebestemming in de buurt van Orlando, Florida in de Verenigde Staten. Het is de grootste en meest bezochte amusementsbestemming van Florida. Het werd in 1971 geopend en trekt jaarlijks zo'n 25 miljoen bezoekers.

Walt Disney World Resort bestaat uit vier pretparken (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios en Animal Kingdom), twee waterpretparken (Blizzard Beach en Typhoon Lagoon) en een winkel- en entertainmentgebied (Downtown Disney). Naast de pretparken zijn er ook nog zo'n tweeëntwintig Disney-resorts en hotels aanwezig. Walt Disney World Resort heeft tevens een eigen gratis vervoerssysteem.

Het was de droom van Walt Disney om iets te maken voor de mensen waar ze veel plezier konden beleven. Een plek voor jong en oud waar de Disneyfiguren uit zijn films tot leven zouden komen. Zo'n soort plek bestond er al, dat was namelijk Disneyland in Californië, maar Walt Disney wilde een nog groter park maken. Al in 1948 had Walt plannen gemaakt om Disney World te bouwen. Een aantal jaren later heeft Walt Disney een stuk land gekocht in Orlando met een oppervlakte van 111 vierkante kilometer (net zo groot als een gebied zoals San Francisco). Dat hele enorme gebied is gebruikt om Walt Disney World op te bouwen.

Op 1 oktober 1971 werd Walt Disney's plan werkelijkheid, toen opende Walt Disney World met het Magic Kingdom in Florida haar deuren. Helaas was Walt Disney toen zelf al overleden en nam zijn broer Roy het van hem over. Later werd het Walt Disney World Resort steeds verder uitgebreid met andere themaparken, waterparken en hotels.

  • TRON Monorail

    Disney's 3D sci-fi adventure film "TRON: Legacy" doesn't debut in theaters until December, but starting March 19, 2010, guests at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida can see a bit of the TRON universe zipping high above their heads. Renderings of yellow and blue light cycles have transformed one of the trains on Walt Disney World's legendary monorail line. A blue light cycle zips to the left along one side of Walt Disney World's "highway in the sky" and the yellow light cycle zooms to the right. This particular monorail currently takes guests between Epcot and Walt Disney World's main Ticket and Transportation Center. "TRON: Legacy" is a sequel to 1982's classic "TRON," both starring recent Oscar-winner Jeff Bridges. "TRON: Legacy" will be released in both Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D and is currently scheduled to debut across the US on December 17.

  • New Dining Room at Victoria & Albert?s at Disney?s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

    LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – True Disney foodies know you haven’t arrived until you’ve dined at the crème de la crème of restaurants – Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.  But now the top-rated dining room has a new “must do”: the gorgeous Queen Victoria’s Room.Queen Victoria’s Room is behind closed doors just off the main dining room.  With just four tables, restaurant manager Israel Perez promises attention to your every whim.  They’ve brought back French gueridon service – a gueridon is a fancy rolling cart that goes from table to table for customized service and “wow” factor – a flourish of Himalayan sea salt atop your filet, a decadent wine sauce or a lavish display of cheese, for instance. Anyone who’s tasted Chef Scott Hunnel’s exquisite creations knows this is a memorable affair.  How often do you savor perfectly seared Kurobuta pork tenderloin and belly, or butter-poached lobster with bisque and lobster roe foam?  And vegans and vegetarians are Hunnel’s favorite challenge.  The sommelier happily will pair something delicious with each of the 10 courses.  Yes, 10 courses, but they’re small.  Still, plan on three to four hours of leisurely dining. It’s worth the price of a baby-sitter – no kids under 10 are allowed in the dining room, so you’re guaranteed an evening of blissful quiet.  Be advised, men must wear jackets (tie optional) for this formal affair.    You’ll float out the door with a long-stemmed rose for women and personalized menus for everyone to carry home.  Cost for Queen Victoria’s Room is $200 per person, plus $95 for wine pairings.  The restaurant has its own reservation line, 407/939-3862.  Reservations for Queen Victoria’s Room are being accepted now for this special dining experience starting Feb. 5, 2010.  There is just one seating nightly.    -30-V-AQUEENVICTORIAROOM/rev:1-21-10:rs
