Nobody is just born automatically knowing everything and anything about Walt Disney World. Are you confused about the differences between the Walt Disney World parks? Or Disneyland vs. Walt Disney World? What about which parks are skips or must dos? How big is Walt Disney World, anyway?  I myself didn’t visit the park until adulthood. And even though I did piles of research beforehand, there was still much I learned during my first trip. Here are five misconceptions about Walt Disney World I previously had:   1. Disneyland and Walt Disney World are the same thing One of my earliest memories is sitting around the TV at daycare, watching morning cartoons with the other kids. Suddenly, a Disney park commercial came on. We all started excitedly yelling "I wanna go to Disneyland!" One kid brought up Disney World. "What's the difference?" we asked. One kid said with the air of authority that only a 4-year-old could have "Disneyland is inside of Disney World"
