"A vista into a world of wondrous ideas, signifying Man's achievement. A step into the future, with predictions of constructed things to come. Tomorrow offers new frontiers in science, adventure and ideals. The Atomic Age, the challenge of Outer Space and the hope for a peaceful, unified world." —Walter E. Disney, July 17, 1955 The TOMORROWLAND area is a unique community where humans, aliens, and robots co-exist with one another. It is a futuristic-looking city that exists more on the edge of science fiction than science fact. The land-docked space hub is where intrepid galaxy travelers can embark on cosmic adventures, dine on interplanetary cuisine, shop at out-of-this-world boutiques, or explore such emerging technologies as time travel or teleportation. It is a land fueled by dreams of a better tomorrow as seen through the prism of yesterday. This Facebook page is in no way part of The Walt Disney Company. Some parts Copyright © The Walt Disney Co.

The ride opened on June 3, 2011 at Disney California Adventure, and on December 6, 2012 at Magic Kingdom.HistoryIn the early-to-mid-1990s, Walt Disney Imagineering attempted to develop a Little Mermaid dark ride for Disneyland Paris and Magic Kingdom parks. Early plans for Tokyo DisneySea and Hong Kong Disneyland also included this ride. None of these versions were actually built, although a computer-generated ride-through animatic was included on the Platinum Edition DVD of The Little Mermaid in 2006.Disney later went on to design and build a different version of the attraction for Disney California Adventure, as part of an effort to revitalize that park in the 2000s. The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure opened on June 3, 2011 in an area of Paradise Pier formerly occupied by Golden Dreams.
The Buzz Lightyear attractions are a series of Tomorrowland shooting dark rides based on the Disney/Pixar film Toy Story 2 at Disney Parks around the world. Although each ride may have a different name, all share the same plot and major characters. As each form of the attraction appeared, new technology has allowed the guest to better interact with the ride and even connect with personal computer users.The attractions use a third-generation Omnimover system, and are combination of a shooting gallery and a dark ride. The first ride featured laser guns that were not movable, but later versions featured the guns that are held in a holster and movable with the exception of a cord to keep them in the vehicle after the ride has ended. In 2005, the Walt Disney Company premiered a home version of the ride in the form of an internet video game that allows users to connect with guests at the parks. The scores of each guest from the dark ride are tallied with the internet gamer and increase the points won. There is also an attraction at Walt Disney World Resort's DisneyQuest with the name "Buzz Lightyear's Astroblasters," where players ride and control cars while shooting "balls" at each other. Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin was named the 2004 Disney Magazine Reader's Choice Award winner for Best Magic Kingdom Park Attraction for Young Kids.
Walt Disney World Resort, comúnmente llamado Walt Disney World o Disney World, es un complejo internacional famoso por sus parques temáticos y numerosos hoteles. El complejo es operado por una división de la compañía Disney, que es la propietaria. Está localizado en la zona de Lake Buena Vista y Bay Lake en Florida, fuera de los límites de la ciudad de Orlando.La construcción empezó en 1967, menos de un año después de la muerte de Walt Disney. El 1 de octubre de 1971, abrió sus puertas el parque conocido como Magic Kingdom; luego se añadieron al complejo los parques temáticos Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios y Disney Animal Kingdom.Además de los cuatro parques temáticos principales, el complejo cuenta con dos parques acuáticos, seis circuitos de golf, un complejo deportivo, dos centros comerciales, veinticuatro hoteles de Disney, numerosas tiendas, y restaurantes. El área total de la propiedad tiene 12.000 hectáreas (como la ciudad de San Francisco) y es el complejo de parques temáticos más grande del mundo, a pesar de que en la última década se han vendido grandes extensiones de terreno para conjuntos residenciales y otros proyectos, incluyendo el terreno ahora ocupado por la ciudad de Celebration, construida y administrada por Disney.
The Walt Disney World Resort is an entertainment complex in Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, Florida, near Orlando and Kissimmee, Florida. The resort is the flagship destination of Disney's worldwide corporate enterprise. Opened on October 1, 1971, Walt Disney World is the most visited vacation resort in the world, with an attendance of over 52 million people annually.The resort is owned and operated by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, a division of The Walt Disney Company. It was initially operated by Walt Disney World Company. The property covers 27258acres, housing twenty-seven themed resort hotels, nine non–Disney hotels, four theme parks, two water parks, several golf courses, a camping resort, and other entertainment venues. Magic Kingdom was the first theme park to open in the complex, in 1971, followed by Epcot in 1982, Hollywood Studios in 1989, and the most recent, Animal Kingdom in 1998. Designed to supplement Disneyland in Anaheim, California, which had opened in 1955, the complex was developed by Walt Disney in the 1960s. "The Florida Project", as it was known, was intended to present a distinct vision with its own diverse set of rides. Walt Disney's original plans also called for the inclusion of an "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow" (EPCOT), a planned community intended to serve as a test bed for new city living innovations. After extensive lobbying, the Government of Florida created the Reedy Creek Improvement District, a special government district that essentially gave The Walt Disney Company the standard powers and autonomy of an incorporated city. Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966, before construction began. Without Disney spearheading the construction, the company created a resort similar to Disneyland, abandoning experimental concepts for a planned community.
