-----------------------------------------
Disney World is emblematic as the park to beat all theme parks for young children and their parents. Disney has the early childhood set's number, and it shows at every turn. Disney World has a bevy of theme parks that each have parades, fireworks, trains, boats and cartoon characters appearing magically around every corner and at the dinner table (it's not called "Magic Kingdom" for nothing). Kids can experience attractions like The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Legend of the Lion King, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and Cinderella's Golden Carousel in Fantasyland or ride the steam train from Mickey's Toontown Fair to Frontierland. The Magic Kingdom is just the beginning of Walt Disney World. Other theme parks are Disney's Animal Kingdom, Epcot Center, Disney-MGM Studios and Water Parks. If you want to experience the best of Walt Disney World, plan a multiple-day trip and take advantage of the Park Hopper pass, which grants unlimited admission to the major parks and use of Walt Disney World transportation.
