Welcome to the land debarred from anxieties
and troubles. You can be sure to keep those anti depressants
aside and have some fun in Disney land. You can't help but
be happy in 'the happiest place on earth'. Built in 1955 the
world's first and biggest amusement resort is divided into:
Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT Center and Disney-MGM Studios Theme
Park.
Magic Kingdom
The main attraction here is the Cinderella's Castle. There
are series of 'lands, within the kingdom which include' the
new attraction Tomorrow land, Fantasyland where you may want
to attend "a mad tea party" or ride a "small
world".
EPCOT
It stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow,
and its trademark silver geodesic dome is visible throughout
Disney World. It is divided into two main sections: Future
World, a combination amusement and educational park, and World
Showcase, a well-presented re-creation of 11 countries. One
of the unique creations of the Disney Park also has a good
collection of shops, and eating joints that have a traditional
look of the 10 different countries which include: Canada,
China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Norway,
and America herself. This itself is an excellent way of exploring
various cultures of the world especially their cuisines.

and attractions around this area of six different themed parks.

there are different attractions on sound, film, talent production
and educational available for visitors of all ages. All the
attractions offer a chance to discover the world of making
movies. Universal is the largest active motion picture and

proceedings. Don't forget to check that the film schedule
posted in the Front Lot to make sure that you're watching
a real film in the making and hope that the director needs
a few extras for the scene.

Skull Kingdom - a great place and way to
spend an hour in the city, which has excellently combined
old-fashioned sideshow scares with some more modern and glitzy
scare tactics, making the entire tour delightfully frightful.
In this two-storey maze of terrors filled to the brim with
boos and scares you will find fearful face ghouls, ghosts
and demons. Run into some of horror's most-famous killers
and villains, including the earliest monsters as well as the
newest frights.
The visitors here should be at least eight years of age. Skull
Kingdom's tour is suitable for the entire family and its construction
allows it to rotate regularly, so even repeat visitors will
run into some surprises. You'll blush when you realize how
much a haunted house actually can scare you.

WonderWorks is a varied attraction proving that learning really
can be fun. You'll always find something different at WonderWorks.
In the middle of the I-drive this building sits smack with
its roof wedged into the ground and its foundation stretches
skyward. In all there are 85 hands-on activities. There is
one where all your friends can watch you playing hoops against
a giant virtual opponent on the big screen. Others include
designing a roller coaster and taking it for a spin or feeling
the power of a simulated earthquake and hurricane-force winds.
In addition to the huge laser-tag stadium there is a science
shop and there are nightly magic shows held here.
