After five years of construction, Disney World was finally opened to the public in June 197 1 and June 10. It costs $766 million and is located outside Orlando, Florida. This is an entertainment center for all ages in Xian Yi. Orlando Disney World consists of 7 theme parks with different styles, 6 golf clubs and 6 theme hotels. Just as Disneyland shocked westerners, Disney World shocked people on the east coast.
Disney World includes Central Street, Small World, Two Wan Li under the Sea, Tomorrow World, Venture World and Freedom Square. There are elegant old-fashioned carriages, antique shops, restaurants and tea rooms on the central street; Small world is an entertainment world specially designed for children, which children yearn for; In "Two Wan Li under the Sea", people can sit on a special submarine, sometimes come to the vibrant tropical seabed, sometimes come to the gloomy and lonely cold seabed, enjoy colorful marine benthos and aquariums, and even see sunken ships full of jewels and goods and ancient cities that fell to the bottom of the sea due to earthquakes; In the "tomorrow world", people will be in a highly developed environment and can visit the "moon" in person. If you come to the land of pioneers and Freedom Square, it will be another world, where people can relive the scenes of immigrants from all over the world opening up in the New World and the situation of the American continent during the British colonial period. Walking in Disney World, you often meet some actors dressed as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which makes people feel childlike and happy.
Disney World is not only a playground, but also a tourist center. Visitors can go swimming, skating, sailing on the nearby beach, taking off by balloon for deep sea fishing, or visiting nearby places of interest. These colorful programs add some charm to Disney World.
At present, Disney World is still developing. 1 9821June1day, the newly-built eckert Center in Disney World officially opened, attracting a large number of tourists. Eckert Center was built according to Disney's idea more than 20 years ago. Including "Future World" and "World Exhibition Hall". There are six pavilions in the future world, including communication, energy, transportation, agriculture and future vision. The 80,000 barrier photovoltaic cells at the top of the Energy Pavilion are the largest solar collectors built by private enterprises in the world. In the Agricultural Museum, people can also see a laboratory that simulates the conditions of growing crops in outer space. The "World Exhibition Hall" is more interesting. There are Egyptian pyramids, Italian palaces, Japanese shrines, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Temple of Heaven in China. Although it is only half the size of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, it is exquisitely carved, luxuriously decorated and very lifelike.
Disney World integrates serious educational content into entertainment, which is rich and interesting, attracting nearly 20 million tourists every year. But it goes without saying that visiting Disney World, especially the eckert Center, will cost a lot of money.

[Edit this paragraph] Tokyo Disneyland
1982, Tokyo Disneyland was built in Wu Bin, Urayama City, Chiba Prefecture, Tokyo, Japan, which aroused global topics and concerns. Tokyo Disneyland was jointly built by American Disney Company and Japanese Catalpa Design Company. After its completion, there appeared "Disney craze" such as Disney costume craze and Disney amusement craze in Japan. This successful "Disney craze" has also expanded the strength of the American Disney Company.
Tokyo Disneyland, known as the first amusement park in Asia, is the largest Disneyland in the world, and it is built according to American Disneyland. Its theme park covers 70 to 80 hectares. Bigger than two Disneyland parks in America. Since the opening of 1983 on April 5th, this park has become a tourist attraction suitable for all ages. From 1994 to 2000, the number of tourists has surpassed that of American Disneyland for six consecutive years.
The construction of this paradise cost 654.38+050 billion yen. Since it opened in the spring of 654.38+0983, it has received 260 million tourists and made huge profits several times the investment. Tokyo Disneyland received17.3 million visitors in 2000.
Tokyo Disneyland is mainly divided into seven areas: world market, adventure park, western park, new biological zone, fantasy park, cartoon city and future park. Colorful costume performances and interesting parades will be held regularly on the stage and square of the park.
In the center of Disney's main entrance, you can see the towering main building "Cinderella City", and then around it, amusement parks and amusement halls with various themes have been built, including Adventure Palace, World Famous Stories, Legend Palace, Scenic Palace, Leisure Palace, Universe Palace and Fantasy Palace. Each amusement palace is equipped with detailed story explanation and music, which makes people feel as if they are there. It maintains the authentic style of Disneyland in the United States, and we can appreciate its "non-daily" performance characteristics. In Tokyo Disneyland, you can also see a large-scale parade to make guests linger. The whole park consists of many small theme parks.
Its successful experience mainly has two points:
One is that "everything moves". Tokyo Disneyland has five theme parks: the world market of Victoria Street View, the adventure park of adventure and legend, the western paradise in the era of western development, the dreamland of dreams and fairy tales, the future paradise of science and the universe. There are 35 wonderful performances in these five theme parks, and their common feature is that everything is very active and colorful. Strange, novel, thrilling and intense scenes and characters will make tourists forget the reality and enter another world. What makes it possible is the "electronic audio mobile device" developed by Japan itself. Driven by this device, there are more than 2,000 dolls and animals in the whole park, all of which are lifelike and immersive.
The second is "Disneyland that will never be built". Since the opening of Tokyo Disneyland, it has implemented the business strategy of attracting tourists and making them come again by constantly adding new amusement places, equipment and services. The original construction investment of the park is 654.38+050 billion yen (about 654.38+000 billion US dollars). Starting from 18, the park invested12 billion yen to build super audio equipment and 35 amusement places. It is reported that in order to build new projects in the next five years, the park is prepared to invest another 65 billion yen. In this way, visitors can have new fun and new experiences, so that Disneyland can maintain its great charm.
1 9985438+In June, 2000, Tokyo began to build Disney Ocean Park, with a cost of about 338 billion yen (about 120 yen (1US$), covering an area of 47.8 hectares and receiving tourists100000 person-times. Ocean amusement park is adjacent to the well-known Tokyo Disneyland, belonging to the Disney series in the United States, all operated by Japan Oriental Amusement Park Company.
Tokyo Disney Ocean Amusement Park is built on the bank of Tokyo Bay in Wu Bin District, Chiba Prefecture, which is 10 km away from the center of Tokyo. Walking into the park, you can appreciate: on the 9.2 hectares of water, ancient ships with many masts come and go frequently; Seven imitation port town, customs all over the world; A 10,000-ton passenger ship built by the sea can almost be confused; Huge "active volcano" is accompanied by rumbling, constantly spewing out fire and smoke. At night, the laser and fireworks sparkle, and the water stage performance climaxes one after another.
There are 23 unique amusement projects, 33 catering facilities and 32 tourist shops in the park, which are distributed in castles and volcanoes. The amusement projects here are mostly related to the sea itself and the legend of the sea, providing tourists with magical, romantic, scary and thrilling feelings.
