In this post, we are looking at the best tourist centre in the world, its location, origin, size, functionalities and modern facilities. In arriving at this judgement, certain factors are put into consideration.

 

Walt Disney World Resort, also called Walt Disney World or Disney World, is an entertainment resort complex in Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, Florida, United States, near the cities of Orlando and Kissimmee.

Walt Disney World Resort was opened on October 1, 1971.

The resort is owned and operated by Disney of which half has been used for many other recreational activities.

The resort comprises four theme parks, namely:

• Magic Kingdom
• Epcot
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios and
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

It also has two water parks;  Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon.

Walt Disney World Resort has themed resort hotels, nine non-Disney hotels, several golf courses, a camping resort, and other entertainment venues, including the outdoor shopping center Disney Springs.

Walt Disney World is referred to as ‘The Most Magical Place on Earth’.

The tourist centre is a large venture with unimaginably number of about 77,000 employees.

The president of the resort is Jeff Vahle.

During the initial planning of the complex, Walt Disney, the initial president and founder of the resort died from circulatory collapse caused by lung cancer on December 15, 1966 before his vision was realized.

After his death, the company wrestled with the idea of whether to bring the Disney World project to fruition.

However, Roy O. Disney Walt’s elder brother, and business partner, postponed his retirement to oversee construction of the resort’s first phase, to make sure Walt’s biggest dream was realized.

Construction started in 1967, with the company instead building a resort similar to Disneyland, abandoning the experimental concepts for a planned community.

The Magic Kingdom was the first theme park to open in the complex, in 1971, followed by Epcot (1982), Disney’s Hollywood Studios (1989), and Disney’s Animal Kingdom (1998).

It was Roy who insisted the name of the entire complex be changed from Disney World to Walt Disney World, ensuring that people would remember that the project was Walt’s dream.

In 2018, Walt Disney World was the most visited vacation resort in the world, with an average annual attendance of more than 58 million people.

The resort is the flagship destination of Disney’s worldwide corporate enterprise and has become a popular staple in American culture.

In 2020, Walt Disney World was chosen to host the NBA Bubble for play of the 2019 –2020 season of the National Basketball Association to resume at the ESPN World of Sports Complex.

The same year 2020, Disney World was faced with the effect of Covid 19 Pandemic, resulting in laying off 6,500 employees. It finally  operated at 25% capacity after reopening during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
