Disney World! Why Not??

The Walt Disney World Resort is a top vacation destination in the United States, especially for families during the summer months–and why not? With thrilling rides, interactive attractions, and world-class entertainment at four different theme parks, as well as two water parks, more than two dozen choices in unique and themed resort hotels, and a myriad of dining venues and cuisines, there’s something for every member of the family at Disney World.

And because the magic is for everyone, it’s hard to say goodbye when the day draws to a close and park hours are over. But Disney World has just announced extended hours for Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. (Sorry, fellow EPCOT lovers!)
