Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom
History Of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom
The Magic Kingdom was Disney's second theme park,
opening October 1, 1971. For many years, this
park was the only main attraction within the Walt
Disney World Center. The percentage of people
refer to it as "Disney World, or just plain
Disney." In 1982 Epcot Center was
added and than came the Disney-MGM Studios
in 1989 and nine years later followed Disney's
Animal Kingdom. The Magic Kingdom in Orlando
has mostly the same layout as California's Disneyland,
but Orlando has a greater deal of land to work
with.
When Disney was first built, there was a series
of utility corridors, covered them with dirt excavated
from the man-made Seven Seas Lagoon, and
then the Magic Kingdom was erected on top of this
great mound of soil. Today, the "utilidors,"
or underground tunnels, connect all lands in the
Magic Kingdom, allowing cast members to never
be caught out of place with the wrong costume
on.
How To Get To Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom
Disney is located 30 minutes south of Orlando,
off Interstate 4. The Orlando International
is the closest airport to the Walt Disney World
resort. Take the GreeneWay toll road from the
airport for quickest access to the Magic Kingdom.
From Orlando, take I-4 to the Epcot exit, then
follow the signs to the Magic Kingdom. From the
Tampa area, take I-4 to the Magic Kingdom exit.

There are over 60 time share resorts
