Not too many years ago Orlando was a rather sleepy town in central Florida. The folks at Disney changed all that when they started buying up land for Disney World. Now Orlando is the one of the biggest tourist destinations on the planet.
The Disney influence on Orlando has grown throughout the years. Not only is there the Magic Kingdom, there's also Epcot, Disney MGM Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Downtown Disney, Pleasure Island, several water parks and more.
Other companies have jumped on the Orlando bandwagon, with the addition of the Universal Studios properties and SeaWorld Orlando.
