The jewel in Orlando's tourism crown, Walt Disney World is the Magic Kingdom, with its four theme parks and two water parks for kids of all ages, where you leave the real world behind the moment you walk through the gates.

Join Mickey Mouse and all of your favorite Disney characters in this truly awe-inspiring fantasy land for the experience of a lifetime.

Every year brings a host of new attractions and features to the most famous theme park in the world. Experience Disney World's Magic Carpets of Aladdin ride that whirls you about, and lifts you up and down as you soar above the fantastical town square of Agrabah, recreated with all the magic of a genie's lamp.

With a little luck and a steady hand on the controls you just might avoid the spitting camels!
