Walt Disney World

The Walt Disney World Resort, informally known as Walt Disney World or simply Disney World, is an entertainment complex in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The resort opened on October 1, 1971 and is the most visited attraction in the world, with attendance of 52.5 million annually. It is owned by The Walt Disney Company through its division Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. The property covers 42,000 acres (16,997 ha; 66 sq mi), in which it houses 24 themed resorts, four theme parks, two water parks, and several additional recreational and entertainment venues. Magic Kingdom is the original theme park on the complex, and Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom opened throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

Designed to supplement Disneyland in Anaheim, California, which had opened in 1955, the complex was developed by Walt Disney in the 1960s, though he died in 1966 before construction on "The Florida Project" began. After extensive lobbying, the Government of Florida created the Reedy Creek Improvement District, a special government district that essentially gave The Walt Disney Company the standard powers and autonomy of an incorporated city. Original plans called for the inclusion of an "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow", a planned city that would serve as a test bed for new innovations for city living.

<p>As twilight settled over EPCOT, the iconic geodesic dome of Spaceship Earth lit up in a soft golden glow.

Captured with the Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8, this moment was all about symmetry, light, and the magic of golden hour at Walt Disney World.</p>

<p>Saint Patrick's Day was yesterday.  For those of you who are still feeling a little green from too much Irish whisky, here's monorail green pulling in the to Magic Kingdom station on the Express Loop.  After a few libations, a smooth-riding monorail is more appealing that one of the many boats on Seven Seas Lagoon.</p>

<p>Oscar Meyerwiener is really starting to enjoy his embrace with Dara Vamp.  The position of his leg shows that he is trying every way possible to get closer to Dara.  It reminds me of a Grouch Marx quote from <i>A Day at the Races</i>:  &quot;If I get any closer, I'll be in back of you.&quot;<br />
