Disney World Theme Parks: Disney's Magic Kingdom
This is the most visited Disney theme park. Without a doubt the Magic Kingdom is the ultimate theme park, with which no visit to Orlando would be complete without! The park comprises of five main districts that are themed around some of the most famous Disney characters and movies. These five districts meet at Main St USA and at the foot of the iconic Cinderella’s castle.
Look out for all your favorite Toon Town characters like Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Daffy. You will also meet many other Disney favorites such as Ariel, Cinderella, Buzz Lightyear and Jungle Book characters.
Disney's Magic Kingdom is without a doubt the most popular attraction
for families because it appeals to all ages. It has rides that the
whole family can enjoy together such as Splash Mountain,
Jungle Cruise and the Haunted Mansion.
Plus there's all the parades and nightime fireworks displays!

Disney World Theme Parks: Disney World Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom has more of an educational focus than a traditional thrills and spills theme park. Disney's aim is to educate visitors on environmental preservation and animal conservation. The park itself is beautiful, with the pinnacle of the park being the 145ft tall Tree Of Life at the center. There is also a recreation of Mount Everest which is home one of the best new Disney World attractions, Expedition Everest!

By far the largest of the all the Disney World theme parks, Animal Kingdom has some 1700 animals in its 500 acres of land! Take a jeep safari tour and you'll see rhinos, zebras, giraffes and lots more African wildlife. Or take a guided walk through 'Asia' and see bats, komodo dragons, tapiers and tigers up close!
