Hi guys. As most of you probably know, the oldest Disney theme park resort in the world is the Disneyland Resort in California, having opened in 1955. But rather interestingly, very few would ever call it the flagship Disney resort. In the eyes of most, that accolade goes instead to Walt Disney World, which opened in Florida in 1971. Despite not being the first Disney resort, and not even being some people's favourite Disney resort, it is undeniably the most popular and well-known Disney resort. If you ask someone to name you a Disney resort, 98% of people would probably name WDW. But my question to you all is; in your opinion, what made WDW gain this iconic status over its 5 other worldwide siblings?
To tell you the truth, I have a number of thoughts, but my main thought is that it has pretty much everything you could want in a resort, and in some way, it almost has an objective advantage over every other Disney resort in most aspects. It has the advantage of sheer size over the likes of the Disneyland Resort and it has the advantage of an appealing year-round climate over the likes of Disneyland Paris, to name just a few.
But what are your theories as to why Walt Disney World is arguably the flagship Disney resort?
