Walt Disney theme parks are synonymous with the great American family day out, and the company’s time-honored hospitality and characters that have beguiled generations for more than 50 years. Walt Disney World closes down only on Christmas Day, which is followed by its busiest day of the year.

We have researched the Disney locations where these wonderful theme parks are and have listed the links below. Did you know that Orlando, California, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Paris are all viewable in Google Earth.

Disney theme parks are not called the places where “fantasies come true” for nothing. Walt Disney theme parks have attractions for all ages, from babies to senior citizens, with white-knuckle rides such as Space Mountain ranging through to gentle rubber-necking cruises inside a realistic Norway.

Future World concentrates on the sciences, communications, energy, travel and automotive use and very topical subjects such as the environment and application of technologies. Whilst these may remind you of a school education they are presented in a Disney theme park atmosphere and you are left to think if only all learning could be delivered in this way.

The Disney  World Showcase location is comprised of eleven interconnected areas which give an overview of different countries on the planet. In each of these country areas you can experience the architecture and history of the region and sample of their cuisine. The countries form a semicircle around the lake and you can travel from one to the other either on foot or via a brief boat ride.

Obviously you will want to plan your journey ahead of time and using Google Earth to give you a quick overview of the Disney  Epcot Centre location will give you the best opportunity to have a really enjoyable trip.
