Disney World
Walt Disney World Resort is less a theme park than a place: 25,000 acres — twice the size of Manhattan — containing four theme parks, two water parks, the Disney Springs dining district, more than two dozen resort hotels, four golf courses and its own transportation network of boats, buses, gondolas and the beloved monorail. For most of the world, this is Orlando; the magazine covers it as what it is, the region's largest single destination and an area in its own right.
The rankings reach deep inside the gates: the resort's cocktail bars, steakhouses, spas and hotels score against the whole region and frequently win it. This hub gathers the resort's four park records, its Disney Springs sub-area, and every ranked business operating in the resort footprint.
