Having introduced people to some of the biggest stars such as Mickey, Minne, Donald and Goofy, Walt Disney decided to try his hand at a new venture. His first creation utilized his unique imagi­nation creating a series of areas, which included rides, shows and at­tractions based around a given theme. Having been constructed in 1955, "Disneyland's" Magic Kingdom opened its gates in Anaheim, California and soon became the most popular tourist attraction in America.

Some years later Walt turned his attention to a new project In Florida Walt not only had plans for a new Magic Kingdom similar in design to the Californian park but for more ambitious ideas, which included an area, called E.P.C.O.T. — an Experimental Pro­totype Community Of Tomorrow. Sadly Walt had passed away in 1966 before the new project was opened. Having been finished by his brother Roy, "'Walt Disney World's" Magic Kingdom was opened in 1971. In the years W.D.W has grown to 3 themed parks including E.P.C.O.T. — a centre, 3 water parks, numerous hotels, a night-time entertainment and shopping complex and more.

In more recent times Disney opened a version of the Magic King­dom in the mideighties in Tokyo again similar in design to the origi­nal Magic Kingdom built some 30 years before by Walt himself.

The company then turned their attention to Europe and after long negotiations with several sites Euro Disney opened its doors on the 12th of April, 1992. The result is 56 hectares of land, which in­clude 6 uniquely designed on-site themed hotels, a Disney camp­ground including hundreds of woodland cabins, a night-time enter­tainment complex. Being divided into 5 themed areas the park in­cludes restaurants, shops and attractions uniquely themed to com­pliment the area where they are situated.

Main Street USA It is an American street of a turn of the centu­ry completed with old cars and gas lamps.

Frontierland. Here guests can take a trip to the Wild West, where they can experience life as a cowboy.

Adventureland combines the exotic Far Eastern bazaar with the deepest jungle and a taste of the Caribbean.

Fantasyland is a home to many of Disney's on screen characters including Snow White, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

Discoveryland is a historical look at the future through the eyes of European visitors such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.

Disney Village is a big entertainment complex (the biggest of its kind in Europe at the moment), located between the Magic King­dom and the hotel area.

Disney Village covers an area of 18.000 square metres and in­cludes besides various restaurants and shops, an open air stage, a night-club, a Wild West show and a multiplex cinema.

Being illuminated at night big red letters form the name "Disney Village". Should you enter Disney Village, you could find the best sort of entertainment and would not forget the endless shopping possibilities. Different open air concerts take place at the big stage, which cover a wide variety of music styles, like Soul, Rock. Jazz, Country or Pop. Most of the bands do not have big names, never­theless you will never be disappointed by their performance. It is the right place where you can spend great hours at warm summer night. Besides the open air stage there are also indoor possibilities to hear live music.

At Disney Village you can find a Planet Hollywood, a Rainfor­est Cafe and Mc Donald's, besides various Disney restaurants. The restaurants offer a variety of food, starting with fast food and end­ing with complete menus at a high level. You can also have charac­ter breakfast at Disney Village.

All Disney resorts world-wide and the magic kingdoms share certain attractions and elements, but each is a unique experience.
