Walt Disney World has been in the business of making the magic happen for more than 40 years, a track record started back in the 1960s when ol' Uncle Walt set out to develop his "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow." That has since expanded into an entertainment empire comprising four theme parks, two water parks, more than 20 themed resorts, golf courses, spas, and more excitement than you can shake a stick at. In truth, it can all feel a little overwhelming, so make a plan, pick a season with fewer crowds, and stay on the WDW campus to make the most of extensive transport links, extended park hours exclusively for Disney resort guests, and discounts to make your hard-earned money go a little bit further in the world’s favorite utopia of vacationing fun.
