Walt Disney World Parks: The Basics

Are you planning a trip to Walt Disney World? Or just want to learn more about the parks and don't know where to start? Disney Darling breaks down the basics for you! Disneyland vs. Walt Disney World Disneyland and Disney World are two different parks, located on opposite sides of the country. As mentioned in this post , it is a common misconception that Disneyland and Disney World are the same thing.  Disneyland is the first Disney theme park ever, opening in 1955. It is located in Anaheim, California, near Los Angeles.  Disneyland has two different parks: Disneyland Park (with the castle), and Disney's California Adventure (or DCA). Disneyland also has three hotels and the Downtown Disney shopping district.  Walt Disney World is located in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando. It opened in 1971, after Walt's passing. Walt Disney World has 4 different theme parks, 2 water parks, 28 hotels, and the Disney Springs shopping district.  There are quite a few more differences, but lo

What Should I Bring With Me Into The Parks?


The best way to visit the parks is travel light. Whenever I go to the parks I usually either bring a small clutch with my debit card, cell phone, and sunglasses inside. This saves me time having to go though bag check. This also saves me energy as I do not have to lug around a heavy backpack all day long. And it saves the frustration of trying to jam all of my stuff into the tiny compartments on the rides.

 Here is a list of things you may want to bring with you to the parks:
  • Cell phone 
  • Camera (can be skipped if you use your phone or photo pass photographers)
  • Sunscreen
  • Small fan (can be a good idea for kids)
  • Water bottle (you can get free cups of water throughout the parks, but you may prefer your own water bottle)
  • Umbrella/poncho (check the weather first)
  • Autograph book/ pen (if meeting characters)
  • Trading Pins (if a pin trader)
  • Snacks (if you plan to bring some for kids)
  • Sunglasses
  • Hat

 If you plan on bringing more, I suggest renting a locker. These are great, especially when park hopping. Lockers are $10 for a small and $12 for a large.  You are allowed to go back to your locker as many times as you'd like. Kids bought a plush Mickey that they don't want to carry around all day? Head back to the locker after your shopping spree. Phone battery getting low? You can go to your locker to retrieve the charger. Lockers are located at the entrance of every park, usually right by Guest Relations. 

 What do you think? Any suggestions to the list? What's something you always bring with you to the parks?

Your Guide To The Attractions at Walt Disney World's EPCOT

Often described as “science fair meets world's fair” EPCOT is definitely a park that helps set Walt DIsney World apart from the rest of the DIsney parks around the world.  EPCOT is often branded as the park for adults, as drinking is a popular activity here. However, there are plenty of things for kids of all ages to do.  Thrill Rides The thrill rides at EPCOT are roller coasters or flight simulators with intensity. These rides may not be for the faint of heart (or short of inches).  Mission: SPACE Mission: SPACE is a flight simulator ride, You’ll board a rocket like an astronaut and launch into space. This ride can be intense, so there are two versions. The Green mission around Earth is a better option for those who become nauseous easily. There is a 40 inch height requirement. The Orange mission to Mars, on the other hand, spins to replicate G-forces. You must be 40 inches (102 cm) to board the Orange mission, and free of serious health conditions. Still, this is a fun one for as
