Disney World was constructed a decade ago on 27,400 acres of partially swamp land in central Florida. Eight

thousand of these acres constitute a wildlife sanctuary not accessible to the 130 million people from around the

world who have been to Disney World since its opening.

The park opens at 9a.m and shuts down at various hours, depending upon the time of year - six, nine or midnight.

On a busy day as many as 90,000 visitors may be in the park, but there are so many activities available that there

is plenty of room for everybody. The Magic Kingdom is the main section, but there are hotels, restaurants, a

lagoon, and a huge lake with four and a half miles of beaches where visitors swim or paddle around in rented
