Walt Disney World Beyond the Parks with Mark Dukes
Walt Disney World is much more than theme parks. During the 50th Anniversary Celebration, I spoke with Mark Dukes, Director of ESPN Wide World of Sports and Disney Water Parks, to explore what makes the resort a complete vacation destination.
ESPN Wide World of Sports
This premier sports complex hosts youth tournaments, training events, and more—all with Disney’s signature hospitality. For athletes and fans, it’s a must-see destination.
Splash and Relax
Disney’s Water Parks—Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach—offer thrill rides, wave pools, and lazy rivers. It’s the perfect break from the theme park pace. Learn more here.
Tee Off in Style
Disney Golf includes traditional courses, miniature golf, and even FootGolf. Whether you’re a pro or a beginner, there’s something for every player—full details at Disney Golf.
Reel in the Fun
You can also go fishing across the resort, from guided excursions to dockside fun. Catch-and-release experiences are perfect for all ages. Find options here.
Recreation at Your Resort
Many Disney Resort hotels offer extra activities like movies under the stars, bike rentals, and pool games, making it easy to enjoy time away from the parks.
