Where: Orlando, Florida
The logical successor to the tremendously popular Disneyland in California, Walt Disney opened in Florida in 1971. One of the main reasons why Walt Disney World became very popular was the number of brands and restaurants that wanted to rush here, given the sudden boost in tourism. Pushing the limits of technology with their creative design ideas, the designers here have done a remarkable job. All this led to putting the sleepy Central Florida town, on a global map! Within this entertainment complex lie twenty-seven themed resort hotels, nine non-disney hotels, four theme parks, two water parks, several golf courses, a camping resort, and other entertainment venues. This is also one of the most popular American landmarks for kids.
