Construction began in 1967, less than a year after Walt Disney’s death. It opened on October 1, 1971, as the Magic Kingdom, and since has added Epcot on October 1, 1982, Disney-MGM Studios on May 1, 1989, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom on April 22, 1998 as new theme parks. In addition to the four main theme parks, the resort contains two water parks, six golf courses, a sports complex, an auto race track, twenty resort hotels and numerous shopping, dining, and entertainment offerings. It even has its own fire department. The 20,000-plus acre property is the largest theme park resort in the world, although over the past decade significant acreage has been sold off for housing and other developments, including land now occupied by the Disney-built (but not owned) community of Celebration. It is accessible from Central Florida’s Interstate 4 via Exits 62B (World Drive), 64B (US 192 West), 65B (Osceola Parkway West), 67B (SR 536 West), and 68 (SR 535 North). In addition, in 2006 a new western entrance opened from Exit 8 on State Road 429 (Florida), the Western Expressway. Most enjoyable vacation locations.
