The Fabulous Fleet of Walt Disney World

Disney fans will sometimes banter about the joke that Disney is home to the world's largest inland Navy. While that's not technically true (Disney's vessels are not armed) it certainly has an impressive fleet! From paddle boats to pontoons, viking longships to pirate ships, and sea raycers to grand yachts if you love to be on the water the Vacation Kingdom of the World has something to make you smile. This flotilla of fabulosity is one of my favorite things to write about, so come along with us now for a look back at the boats of Walt Disney World.

Original Magic Kingdom Attractions You Can Still Enjoy

A lot has changed at Walt Disney World since it first opened in 1971.

If you're looking for a taste of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom 1971 style, focus your your touring strategy on taking in these fourteen great original Magic Kingdom rides.

Best Magic Kingdom Attractions to Ride at Night

The nighttime hours at the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks are a completely different experience than the daytime hours. At Epcot the sidewalks twinkle in Future World and the World Showcase pavilions light up, and I still get lost in the dark at Disney's Hollywood Studios. I haven't yet experienced the Animal Kingdom after dark but it's on my "to do" list. And my favorite park after dark? The Magic Kingdom.
