New theme park attractions and uniquely themed hotels were introduced this year at the Walt Disney World Resort. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire - Play It! was introduced at Disney-MGM Studios.

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, which opened in April 2001, brings the romance and spirit of Africa to guests of the Walt Disney World Resort. The adventure-themed resort features three African-inspired restaurants, handcrafted furnishings, authentic African decor and sweeping views of a 33-acre tropical savanna where exotic animals roam freely. The majority of guest rooms offer a breathtaking view of the animals on the private reserve of Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.

In honor of Walt Disney's vision for a "world" of vacation fun, the Walt Disney World Resort is currently the center of a yearlong celebration featuring an impressive lineup of exciting new live entertainment at all four Walt Disney World theme parks. The 100 Years of Magic celebration, which began October 1, 2001, marks the 100th anniversary of Walt Disney's birth on December 5, 1901, and pays tribute to his legacy of creativity, innovation, imagination and family entertainment.

100 Years of Magic is centered at Disney-MGM Studios. Memorabilia from the Disney archives, which have never before been seen by the public, are showcased in a new attraction highlighting the career and heritage of Walt Disney and the company he founded. Walt Disney: One Man's Dream takes visitors on an emotional journey that starts with Disney's birth and ends with the company's vision for the future.

During the celebration, new parade spectacles will unfold daily in all four Walt Disney World theme parks. Disney-MGM Studios guests are treated to Disney Stars and Motor Cars, a daily parade of outrageously customized cars loaded with favorite characters, including the Aladdin car outfitted to look like the Genie, the Toy Story car in the shape of Andy's bed and a 1929 Cadillac carrying Mickey, Minnie and friends.

Larger-than-life snow globes capture the magic and charm of Disney characters from a child's point of view in Share a Dream Come True, a new Magic Kingdom parade. The finale is a magnificent castle floating on clouds.

Disney's Animal Kingdom is alive with color and pageantry during presentations of Mickey's Jammin' Jungle. The interactive island street party features Disney characters "on expedition" and a tribute to their animal friends with a menagerie of abstract animals coming to life in handcrafted theatrical designs.

New characters, called Dream Seekers, and a colorful new float called the Dream Catcher, are part of the makeover that transforms the hugely popular Epcot procession Tapestry of Nations into Tapestry of Dreams.
