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

Top 5 Things To Do in Hollywood Studios





5. Toy Story Land
Toy Story is a Disney franchise close to my heart, so I adore that there is an entire land dedicated to it! Shirnk down to the size of a toy and visit Andy's backyard. This land has some great attractions like Slinky Dog Dash and Toy Story Midway Mania. There are some great eats like the totchos (tater tots with nacho toppings) and lunchbox tarts. The land even offers some great photo ops with all of its props and theming. 
4. Time Travel For a Meal
Two of the most highly suggested restaurants at WDW are in Studios. They are Sci-Fi Diner and 50's Prime Time Diner. Both will take you back in time to the nifty fifties. Sci-Fi is themed after a drive-in movie theater. The tables look like cars and you are able to watch movie clips as you eat! 50's Prime Time is themed after a typical 50's house with pastel colors and knick knacks galore. The best part about Prime Time is the Cast Members that work it! The waiters were all into the theme, big time. Their acting would put some face characters to shame. Also, Prime Time is said to have the best milkshakes in WDW. I highly suggest making a reservation at one of these restaurants the next time you visit Studios.

 3. Tower of Terror
Every time I go to DHS, I have to drop in for a visit at the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Tower of Terror is one of Disney's best themed rides, and the thrill is so fun. This ride is not for the faint of heart as you fall faster than gravity itself in the dark. However, if you are brave and tall enough to ride, I highly suggest this attraction. Wait times can be long, but well worth it. 
2. Fantasmic
Fantasmic is my favorite nighttime show at Disney (so far). It's got fireworks, laser lights, princesses, dragons, boats, movie clips, great music and it stars the Mouse himself! Everyone will find something in this show to be entertained by. I have seen this show at least 10 times and I'm still not sick of it. You can make fastpasses for this show. Depending on the park hours, sometimes there are two shows. I suggest going to the later one as it will be less crowded. 

1. One Man's Dream
What better way to experience Disney than to learn about the man who started it all? One Man's Dream is a walk-through exhibit. Here anyone can learn about and gain appreciation for Disney's founder. He truly changed the world. The exhibit starts from Walt's boyhood in Marceline, shows his cartoon shorts, movies, television shows and ends with models of the parks and future plans. At the end of the walk-though is a movie theater that show a short documentary of Walt's life, narrated by Julie Andrews (aka Mary Poppins). I dare you to make it through the movie without crying.

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
