Planning your Walt Disney World Vacation!

Good morning everyone!! Now that our trip is over (insert tears here!) it's time to move forward (Keep Moving Forward!! Can anyone name that movie????).

Let's start to talk a little about what's involved in planning a Walt Disney World vacation (and how I can help!)

I want to talk a little bit today about the shear size of Walt Disney World. It's a bit different than planning a trip to the beach or your local amusement park. We've talked a bit before about WHY Walt Disney World is so large (see this post). But how big is it really?

Some facts:

  • The Walt Disney World Resort is 30,080 acres....or 47 square miles...or 121.7 square kilometers
  • There are more than 66,000 Cast Members (employees)
  • There are:
    •  33 Resorts on property
    •  4 Main Theme Parks (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom)
    • 2 water parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon)
    • 5 golf Courses
    • Over 100 restaurants
  • Nearly 1/3 of the Walt Disney World Resort is set aside for wildlife Conservation
  • There are nearly 300 buses (approximate...or a guess, lol)
WHEW!!  That's a lot of numbers!!  You can see how planning a visit to Walt Disney World can quickly become overwhelming if it's not something you do all the time!  

Next up...your first decision...when to go?
