I Never Knew I Could Do That!
Your Guide to Amazing Animal Adventures at Walt Disney World
I challenge you to find anyone who does entertainment better than Disney! Everywhere you go within a Disney property anywhere in the world, a story is being told. It is certainly no different at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida where you are immersed in the storytelling through learning and fun. These ultra-special experiences take you beyond the theme parks and put you right at the heart of Walt's dreams where families come together and celebrate life!
