Orlando, Florida
In cosmic terms, the arrival of Walt Disney World® Resort on Oct. 1, 1971, was the Big Bang of Florida's tourism industry. Today, it is as important to Orlando as the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, or Buckingham Palace to London. It may seem like heresy to elevate a resort to such exalted status, but it is true. Disney set the bar for wholesome family fun, and then raised it time and again with the addition of faster rides, cuter characters and new theme worlds to delight every age group. [ more ]
