MAGIC KINGDOM ®. Contrary to popular belief, the Magic Kingdom® Park and Walt Disney World® are not one and the same. The Magic Kingdom® Park is, however, one of Walt Disney World's® foremost highlights. It consists of seven different lands, including Main Street USA, Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square and Toontown Fair; each of these exciting realms brings a different figment of the imagination to life. In this fantasyland, children are able to safari in an African jungle, interact with Pluto and Donald Duck and embark on adventures in a world that existed hundreds of years ago.

DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS™. Discover what it's really like to be on the set of a television show or a motion picture. Disney-MGM Studios provides a back stage look at TV and movie productions as well as radio broadcasts and the making of animated programs. One of the best parts about this theme park is that it isn't all just for show, as the facilities are entirely functional. Children enjoy strolling down legendary streets like Sunset Boulevard or Dalmatian Avenue as they make their way to the next fascinating attraction. Two of the most popular rides include The Tower of Terror (a 13-story free fall) and Rock n' Roller Coaster (complete with music from Aerosmith). Dining establishments and gift shops abound.
