It's easy to forget how huge Walt Disney World really is. Even the most frequent of visitors to Disney World are aghast at what changes each year when they return to Orlando. If you think about it though with the scale of Walt Disney World, with it's theme parks, water parks, hotel resorts and golf courses it isn't really that surprising.
So where has the most change taken place recently. You don't need to look beyond Disney's Hollywood Studios to see a park being rejuvenated. The park, formerly known as MGM Studios has a number of new rides and shows that have been added to in the last year or so. The biggest event is undoubtedly the arrival of Toy Story Mania. This is an exciting 3D ride where you take part in shooting arcade from your car as you make your way through a Toy Story themed shooting arcade. The ride has been opened within the Pixar Place area of the park, so we can expect more Pixar themed attractions in that area. Parades and shows have also been introduced, including Block Party Bash which is a parade featuring characters from the Toy Story movies. Another movie franchise is a High School Musical show which also takes part in the park. Another permanent feature is the Jedi Training Academy. Originally only at the park during Star Wars Weekends, this is now a full time attraction at the park.
On the resort front, the Contemporary Resort has been going through one of the biggest remodelling phases since it opened. The Contemporary is one of the original Walt Disney World hotels, opening along with the Magic Kingdom back in 1971. A recent addition to the hotel is The Wave restaurant, which is focusing on the healthy-eating conscious visitors to the resort. Another resort that has gone through a lot of change is the Animal Kingdom resort, with the addition of the luxurious Animal Kingdom Villas.
