Types of Disney Destinations

Hi there Disney friends,

I wanted to spend a little time discussing your options for a Disney vacations in the United States.

When Walt Disney began his adventure into theme parks, he wished to develop a place where parents and children could enjoy rides together. He had spent time with his daughters at parks, but would lament just having to watch his children on rides. So when Disneyland (which is in Anaheim, California) opened in 1955, Walt built a place for the entire family. That initial entry into the them park industry has grown over the years.

Beginning in the 1960's Walt Disney began purchasing land in Orlando, Florida to build a second park. The second park was built under the direction of Roy Disney after Walt's death. On opening day, Roy declared the name of the park to be Walt Disney World (originally it was to be just Disneyworld.)

Disney has also ventured onto the seas with the creation of the Disney Cruise Line. The cruise line consists of four ships that brings the customer service that you expect from Disney to the high seas. There are 2 sets of sister ships. The Magic and Wonder were the first 2 ships in the fleet and the Dream and Fantasy came later. The fleet will be growing over the next few years with the addition of 3 new ships.

Adventures by Disney brings family fun to vacations around the world. This is probably one of the little known ways that Disney brings families together.

Disney also has 2 resorts on the Atlantic coast that brings relaxation to the beach. Disney's Vero Beach Resort is located about 1 hour below Cape Canaveral on the Florida coast and Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort brings Disney to the low country of South Carolina. There is also the Disney Aulani resort in Hawaii.

Any of these options are a great way for families to spend time together. The picture below is from the Hilton Head Island Resort.
