Instead, Epcot has 2 areas: Future World, demonstrating human endeavour and innovation, along with World Showcase, which is effectively a permanent world’s fair with 11 nations represented around a giant manmade lake.

    Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park is part of the sprawling Walt Disney World Resort, just a few miles southwest of central Orlando. The concept at this theme park is rather wacky but undeniably fun. It’s built around the idea that it was once a ski resort which ‘melted into a watery wonderland’. A highlight is Mount Gushmore – home to one of the world’s tallest and fastest waterslides. There are plenty of other, less hair-raising slides and attractions to keep the whole family occupied for the day.

    Disney’s BoardWalk may just be the most photogenic and lively spot in the whole of Disney World Resort come nightfall. This is basically a pretty promenade set next to a Crescent Lake, with an eclectic range of cafés, restaurants, bars and boutiques creating a colourful reflection across the water. There are some fun arcade games for the kids, and if you’re planning on heading here for a night out, make sure you check out the excellent Jelly Rolls Bar for the live duelling piano performances and tipsy sing-alongs.
