 World of Disney The Disneyland Paris (DLP) resort is about 4800 acres in total, though less than half is a developed vacation resort. The main area (parks and hotels) is best described as like Disneyland Resort in size and scope. 6 resort hotels, shopping village, two parks, golf, campsite and partner (non Disney) hotels. The main Disney area is compact enough to be walkable, but big enough not to be cramped. Unlike the American resorts DLP is quite remote for visitors, being about 40 minutes from Paris by Metro train and 30 minutes from Charles de Gaulle airport by coach. The hotels have their own parking lots, and the parks both share one huge surface lot that has covered moving sidewalks in lieu of parking trams for transport to the gates. It's also worth noting the Disney hotels are all a 10-30 minute stroll to the parks, or a free for guests shuttle bus service constantly serves each resort hotel to the bus station adjacent to the park entrances.

    Did you know that about 12% of Walt Disney World Resort property is made of up well managed landscaping and gardens?  The garden in the picture above can be found at the Canada Pavilion at Epcot's World Showcase.

One of Walt's biggest dreams for his Florida Project was the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, also known as Epcot.  Here dreams of the future have taken place and come true since it's opening day October 1, 1982.  Now, over 40 years later, Epcot is still delighting guests with its unique experiences and attractions.  Everyone who visits will find something they love, whether it be a high-speed attraction in World Celebration or a stroll through the countries in World Showcase.  Today I want to shed some light on some must-dos for guests visiting Epcot for the first time! Travel in Time When you hear the name Epcot, chances are the image of a giant, silver geodesic sphere come to mind.  While many people refer to it as the giant golf ball, Spaceship Earth is the park's icon, and does it ever make itself present!  Standing tall and proud at the front of the park, it's unmissable.  Some people are surprised to find out that there is actually a ride inside o

The carpet in the hallway at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort continues the boardwalk theme with a design that includes a Ferris wheel and a rollercoaster.   If you look closely, you can see that Mickey is riding in the front car of the roller coaster!
