People who are planning to go to Disney World in Orlando, Florida might have a number of different activities on their itineraries. There are several different theme parks associated with Disney World and there are also other attractions in the vicinity that are enjoyed by Disney’s guests. However, people who want to go to the “real” Disney World will make sure that they focus on The Magic Kingdom which is the original Disney theme park that was built in the Orlando region.

Quick; what’s the first theme park that comes to mind when you think about going to Orlando, Florida? Chances are that you probably thought of Disney World. It’s true that the Disney parks are a really great reason to head to Orlando but that’s hardly the only theme park there for you to enjoy. In fact, many people who have spent time seeking out entertainment in the area will testify to the fact that they prefer the entertainment over at Universal Studios Orlando. The resorts associated with Universal Studios aren’t quite as big as those affiliated with Disney but they come a close second in size and popularity. If you haven’t had a chance to go any further than Disney World when you’ve been in Orlando, you might want to start thinking about booking another trip to see what you missed out on.
