The most recognizable feature of EPCOT is Spaceship Earth, and although it is going through some changes right now, it is still one of the most visited theme parks in the entire world. More importantly, it officially turned Disney World into a multiple day vacation destination for visitors coming from anywhere.
EPCOT turned into a success, and it did not take long for a third theme park to go from simply a concept, to reality. The plan was to have not only a theme park based on show business, but an actual operating production studio as well. Almost every year, multiple new features were launched in Central Florida for visitors to experience.
From resorts to water parks, Disney World started solidifying themselves as the most popular tourist destination in the world. Disney understood the complexity of building a fourth theme park that shared many of the same qualities of a typical zoo. The result was the largest theme park in the world to this day, as the Animal Kingdom covers acres of land for visitors to explore. The park is unique compared to the other three in that there are no fireworks at the end of the night.
Plates, straws, cups, and more are biodegradable. Also, a lot of the attraction schedules revolve around the animals themselves. The park had humble beginnings, but it is now the second most popular theme park at Disney World behind Magic Kingdom. In the last few years, the most notable additions to Disney World has been Downtown Disney evolving into Disney Springs, and the addition of Star Wars-related attractions and character meet and greets around the complex.
They have continued to grow little by little each year, holding down the distinction as the most visited vacation resort in the entire world. In any given year, annual attendance sits at around 60 million people under normal circumstances. The effects of the coronavirus outbreak have hurt those numbers overall, but the resort continues to be a ticket in demand.
There is always speculation surrounding Disney World and what they might have planned next, but there is not too much information out there at this time. There are always a lot of rumors about the possibility of a fifth theme park, but any chance of that happening has been severely impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.
Instead, Disney will likely continue to strengthen what they already have and expand in that way for now. Now that Disney World has been well-established for around 50 years, it is unfathomable to have Disney World anywhere else.
Did they make the right decision at the time? There is no perfect location in the United States for an outdoor park on the East Coast. For the park to be open 12 months out of the year, it pretty much rules out any location in the north right away. Most of the major cities in Florida are warm enough, and the same goes for some spots in Georgia and perhaps the Carolinas. Cities like Atlanta, Jacksonville, Tampa, and Miami all would have probably had plenty of success with Disney World in their own right.
Out of all the solutions, Atlanta might be the best alternative location for Disney World. They are off the coast without having to deal with any hurricanes, and they are a huge city that is extremely easy to get to by car or plane.
It gets a little cooler in the winter months in Atlanta, but the park would most likely be able to stay open most of the time. Of course, Disney World is not about to move anytime soon, so it is more of a fun way to speculate than anything else. All in all, Orlando seems like a perfect spot for Disney World. The extreme heat and humidity in the summer can be tough on visitors, and the pop-up showers are not ideal either. However, park visitors still enjoy plenty of sunshine throughout the year, and it makes people always feel like they are on a true vacation.
Going to the Walt Disney World Resort on a major holiday like Thanksgiving can make it all the more memorable. But just like you, other people have the same idea.
