Walt Disney World: An Overview of All Four Parks
Walt Disney World spans more than 25,000 acres of Central Florida, and that scale is what makes it feel like a destination unto itself rather than a single park. Four distinct theme parks share the property, alongside two water parks, golf courses, a shopping and dining district, and enough entertainment to fill a week without repeating a day.
This page is the starting point — a look at how the four parks differ from one another, what else sits on the property beyond them, and where to go for a deeper guide to each one.
One Resort, Four Worlds
Each of the four parks is built around its own idea, so the choice of which to visit first usually comes down to what kind of day a family wants. Fairy tales and nightly fireworks belong to one park, world culture and innovation to another, movie-making thrills to a third, and nature and adventure to the last.

Every Disney park on the property offers a different kind of day:
