Step into a corner of Walt Disney World Resort where the magic centers entirely on entertainment spectacle. The park layers together four distinct zones that feel like wandering through actual film sets, complete with neon signs, gleaming chrome fixtures, and art deco details that channel the golden era of 1930s and 1940s Hollywood. You'll catch live performances throughout the day, explore attractions built around behind-the-scenes filmmaking, join backstage tours that reveal how the magic happens, and experience limited-time events tailored exclusively to this park. Winter visits carry a particular charm here, with crisp air making the outdoor streets more comfortable for lingering between shows, and the crowds tend to thin enough that you can actually soak in the atmosphere without constant jostling. Every corner of the grounds echoes classic Hollywood elegance, from the architecture to the carefully designed street layouts that immerse you completely in the world of entertainment.

Water slides that'll make your heart race, a wave pool that churns up genuine 6-foot swells, and an actual snorkeling lagoon where sharks glide past you—all part of Walt Disney World's tropical water escape. Families find their rhythm here with options ranging from adrenaline-pumping slides to shallow splash zones where little ones can navigate their own mini rafts. Winter visits bring a uniquely surreal experience, where you're floating in warm water under Florida skies while the season shifts elsewhere, creating an almost dreamlike contrast. The park's entire personality stems from its origin story: supposedly born from a catastrophic storm that left surfboards tangled in palms and boats scattered across unlikely rooftops, now reimagined as a playful island paradise for guests seeking both thrills and relaxation.

Within the blink of a snowflake-tipped eye, a ski resort sprang up with slalom courses, toboggan slides and iceberg walkways. Then, just as quickly, the weather shifted back to hot. The whole resort started to melt. What to do? <br> An enterprising alligator saw an opportunity! Clad in a scarf and hat, this Ice Gator slid down the snow-less ski jump, shouting 'Yahoooo!' all the way. With a big splash he landed in a pool of melted snow below the mountain. It was at this moment the slushy, slippery slopes became an exhilarating Water Park with a ski theme.

Located across from City Hall in the heart of downtown Jacksonville. First established as a public square by the City’s founder Isaiah D. Hart around 1857, it is Jacksonville’s oldest park. Known first as City Park and then St. James Park, it was renamed Hemming Park in 1899 to honor Civil War veteran Charles C. Hemming, who donated the park’s Confederate monument (the City’s oldest and tallest) the previous year. At various times the park contained bandstands, fountains, comfort stations, and Tourist and Convention Bureau buildings, along with many beautiful trees. In 1978, the City converted the park into a brick-paved plaza, and completed additional work in 1986 that transformed the area into a single-level, pedestrian-oriented mall. Due to its centralized location, the plaza has long been a part of the downtown experiences for both tourists and local citizens.
