Orlando is a city made up mostly of theme parks. Until 1966 there was precious little to see in central Florida, but the area began to flourish along with the great flow of tourists attracted to Walt Disney World.
From the Magic Kingdom opened in 1971 after a five-year program, Disney has added three more theme parks, two water parks and a lot of construction, including hotels, shops and golf courses to create a truly "universal."
With Disney as an example, the World Marine and two city parks, Universal Orlando increased its reputation as the world capital of entertainment for families.
