Owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company, the Walt Disney World Resort is home to four theme parks, two water parks, six golf courses, more than twenty resort hotels, and various shopping and entertainment areas in Orange and Osceola Counties, Florida, USA. The Walt Disney World Resort opened on October 1, 1971. It is the largest theme park resort in the world.
Concept
Walt Disney's concept for Disney World was of a larger, more expansive version
of Disneyland, so that it could constantly expand and not be as constrained by
the need for land that Disneyland suffered from. Walt Disney World also was to
be a sort of "Disneyland of the future" where breakthroughs in science and
technology could coexist with the original Disney vision of themed
entertainment.
Walt Disney also envisioned this project as incorporating a working community
where his ideas about urban planning could be tested. He called this concept the
"Experimental Prototype Community (or City) of Tomorrow," or EPCOT. The theme
park that eventually opened under the Epcot name bore little resemblance to this
vision, though the neighboring planned community of Celebration, which was
founded by the Walt Disney Company, incorporates a few of the ideas.
Although he participated in much of the planning for the project, Walt Disney
himself died in 1966 and never got to see the realization of his vision. The
resort was originally to be named "Disney World," but before its opening Walt's
brother Roy renamed it to "Walt Disney World" in his honor.
