Walt Disney World Resort

All remaining amenities re-opened at the scheduled time on October 25, 2005. Chemawinite or cedarite is an amber-like resin from the Saskatchewan river in Canada. The Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Downtown Disney re-opened at 1:00pm. Schraufite is a reddish resin from the Carpathian sandstone, and it occurs with |jet in the Cretaceous rocks of the Lebanon; ambrite is a resin found in many of the coals of New Zealand; retinite occurs in the lignite of Bovey Tracey in Devonshire and elsewhere; whilst copaline has been found in the London clay of Highgate in North London. As a result of Hurricane Wilma, all the four theme parks, Typhoon Lagoon water park (Blizzard Beach water park already being closed for maintenance), resort amenities (Downtown Disney, the golf courses) and Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground were closed at the start of October 24, 2005. Many other fossil resins more or less allied to amber have been described. [1]. Besides succinite, which is the common variety of European amber, the following varieties also occur:.

The parks were closed for each. These Central American ambers are formed from the resins of Legume trees (Hymenea) and not conifers. Hurricanes Charley and Frances came through the area in summer 2004. Blue amber is recorded in the Dominican Republic. The parks re-opened the following day under heightened security. A fluorescent amber occurs in the southern state of Chiapas in Mexico, and is used extensively to create eye-catching jewellery. The parks closed partway through the day on September 11, 2001 in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. Amber and certain similar substances are found to a limited extent at several localities in the United States, as in the green-sand of New Jersey, but they have little or no economic value.

The Walt Disney Company made history by closing its Florida theme parks for the first time during Hurricane Floyd in 1999, which ended up missing the area. It was re-created in 2003. The trade magazine "American Business" reports (as quoted by the Orlando Sentinel) these attendance figures for the four theme parks in 2004:. It is presumed lost. (Tickets do not cover admission for activities or events separately priced.). What happened to the room beyond this point is unclear. There are a few levels of the Annual Passes including different prices for children. The room was hidden in place from invading Nazi forces in 1941, who upon finding it in the Cathrine Palace, disassembled it and moved it to Königsberg.

The Annual Passes at Walt Disney World allow guests to have unlimited access to the parks during the year time period of their pass. The Amber Room was a collection of chamber wall panels commissioned in 1701 for the king of Prussia, then given to Tsar Peter the Great. As part of the "Magic Your Way" package, Disney also created a service entitled "Disney's Magical Express" whereby guests staying on the Disney property will be able to take Disney transportation directly from the Orlando airport to their hotels, while their luggage is picked up (with participating airlines) and delivered to their rooms for them. Amber was carried to Olbia on the Black Sea, Massilia (today Marseille) on the Mediterranean, and Hatria at the head of the Adriatic; and from these centres it was distributed over the Hellenic world. The Water Park Fun & More Option was known as the Magic Plus Pack Option from January 2, 2005, through October 1, 2005. Some of the amber districts of the Baltic and North Sea were known in prehistoric times, and led to early trade with the south of Europe. "Magic Your Way" also offers options such as the Park Hopper Option ($40 per ticket, allowing a guest to visit more than one park per day), the Water Park Fun & More Option ($50 per ticket, giving a guest between 2 and 5 visits to water parks, Pleasure Island, DisneyQuest, or Disney's Wide World of Sports), and the No Expiration Option (between $10 for a two-day ticket and $135 for a ten-day ticket, without which the ticket will expire 14 days after its first use). Amber has indeed a very wide distribution, extending over a large part of northern Europe and occurring as far east as the Urals.

Disney's "Magic Your Way" park ticket pricing, introduced in January 2005, is intended to make guests choose to spend more days on Disney property instead of visiting competing theme parks in the area; additional days at Disney can be much less expensive than a day at another park. On the shores of the Baltic it occurs not only on the German and Polish coast but in the south of Sweden, in Bornholm and other islands, and in southern Finland. She replied, "I think Walt would have approved.". On the other side of the North Sea, amber is found at various localities on the coast of the Netherlands and Denmark. On opening day, Roy Disney gave an opening dedication, after which he asked Walt's widow Lillian what she thought of Walt Disney World. Cromer is the best-known locality, but it occurs also on other parts of the Norfolk coast, as well as at Great Yarmouth, Southwold, Aldeburgh and Felixstowe in Suffolk, and as far south as Walton-on-the-Naze in Essex, whilst northwards it is not unknown in Yorkshire. Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Polynesian Resort, and Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground were also completed in time for the park's opening on October 1, 1971. Rolled pieces of amber, usually small but occasionally of very large size, may be picked up on the east coast of England, having probably been washed up from deposits under the North Sea.

Construction of drainage canals was soon begun by the Improvement District, and Disney built the first roads and the Magic Kingdom. It is still believed to possess a certain medicinal virtue. The Florida Supreme Court ruled in 1968 that the District was allowed to issue tax-exempt bonds for public projects within the district, despite the sole beneficiary being The Walt Disney Company. Beads of amber occur with Anglo-Saxon relics in the south of England; and up to a comparatively recent period the material was valued as an amulet. The laws forming the District and the two Cities was signed into law on May 12, 1967. A remarkably fine cup turned in amber from a bronze-age barrow at Hove is now in the Brighton Museum. The only areas where the District had to submit to the county and state would be property taxes and elevator inspections. It has been found in Mycenaean tombs; it is known from lake-dwellings in Switzerland, and it occurs with neolithic remains in Denmark, whilst in England it is found with interments of the bronze age.

In addition to the standard powers of an incorporated city, which include tax-free bonds, the Improvement District would have total immunity from any current or future county or state land-use laws. Amber was much valued as an ornamental material in very early times. After the film, it was explained that, for Walt Disney World to succeed, a special district would have to be formed: the Reedy Creek Improvement District with two cities inside it, the City of Bay Lake and the City of Reedy Creek (now the City of Lake Buena Vista). True amber is sometimes coloured artificially. The role of EPCOT was emphasized in the film that was played, the last one recorded by Walt Disney before his death. Amber has often been imitated by other resins like copal and kauri, as well as by celluloid and even glass. On February 2, 1967, Roy Disney held a press conference in Winter Park, Florida. This pressed amber yields brilliant interference colours in polarized light.

But have they all heard of Henry Ford, who started it all? Walt Disney World is in memory of the man who started it all, so people will know his name as long as Walt Disney World is here.". The product is extensively used for the production of cheap jewellery and articles for smoking. In his own words: "Everyone has heard of the Ford cars. The pieces are carefully heated with exclusion of air and then compressed into a uniform mass by intense hydraulic pressure; the softened amber being forced through holes in a metal plate. For the past few years that the project had been in pre-production, it had been known simply as Disney World, but Roy Disney added "Walt" to the name to make it Walt Disney World. Small fragments, formerly thrown away or used only for varnish, are now utilized on a large scale in the formation of "ambroid" or "pressed amber". From then on, his brother Roy Disney headed the project. Cloudy amber may be clarified in an oil-bath, as the oil fills the numerous pores to which the turbidity is due.

Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966. Two pieces of amber may be united by smearing the surfaces with linseed oil, heating them, and then pressing them together while hot. To create the District, only the support of the landowners within was required. When gradually heated in an oil-bath, amber becomes soft and flexible. The Reedy Creek Drainage District was incorporated on May 13, 1966 under Florida State Statutes Chapter 298, which gives powers including eminent domain to special Drainage Districts. During the working much electricity is developed. At the conference, Walt Disney explained the plans for the site, including EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, which was to be a futuristic city. In working amber, it is turned on the lathe and polished with whitening and water or with rotten stone and oil, the final lustre being given by friction with flannel.

A press conference was soon organized for November 15. Some of the best qualities are sent to Vienna for the manufacture of smoking appliances. After most of the land had been bought, the story was leaked to the Orlando Sentinel on October 20, 1965. The variety most valued in the East is the pale straw-coloured, slightly cloudy amber. Without the transfer of these rights, Tufts could come in at any time and demand the removal of buildings to obtain minerals. It is regarded by the Turks as specially valuable, inasmuch as it is said to be incapable of transmitting infection as the pipe passes from mouth to mouth. Yet another problem was the mineral rights to the land, owned by Tufts College. Amber is extensively used for beads and other ornaments, and for cigar-holders and the mouth-pieces of pipes.

In most cases, the owners were happy to get rid of the land, being mostly swampland. The sea-worn amber has lost its crust, but has often acquired a dull rough surface by rolling in sand. Much of the land had been platted into five-acre (20,000 m²) lots in 1912 by the Munger Land Company and sold to investors. The nodules from the blue earth have to be freed from matrix and divested of their opaque crust, which can be done in revolving barrels containing sand and water. In addition to three huge parcels of land were many smaller parcels, referred to as "outs". The pit amber was formerly dug in open works, but is now also worked by underground galleries. Two large tracts totaling $1.5 million were sold, and smaller tracts of flatlands and cattle pastures were purchased by exotic-sounding companies such as the Latin-American Development and Management Corporation and the Reedy Creek Ranch Corporation. At the present time extensive mining operations are conducted in quest of amber.

In May 1965, major land transactions were being recorded a few miles southwest of Orlando in Osceola County. Systematic dredging on a large scale was at one time carried on in the Kurisches Haff by Messrs Stantien and Becker, the great amber merchants of Königsberg. The first five-acre (20,000 m²) lot was bought on October 23, 1964 by the Ayefour Corporation (a pun on Interstate 4). Divers have been employed to collect amber from the deeper waters. To avoid a burst of land speculation, Disney used various dummy corporations and cooperative individuals to acquire 27,400 acres (111 km²) of land. Sometimes the searchers wade into the sea, furnished with nets at the end of long poles, by means of which they drag in the sea-weed containing entangled masses of amber; or they dredge from boats in shallow water and rake up amber from between the boulders. Thus everything was to be done in complete secrecy. Pieces of amber torn from the sea-floor are cast up by the waves, and collected at ebb-tide.

If the news of Disney's new resort was leaked, land prices would soar. Although amber is found along the shores of a large part of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, the great amber-producing country is the promontory of Samland, now part of Russia. However, the decision had not been made yet; no land had been purchased. In the Dominican Republic exists a type of amber known as the Blue Amber. When later asked why he chose it, he said, "the freeway routes, they bisect here.". Bony amber owes its cloudy opacity to minute bubbles in the interior of the resin. He saw the good road network, including Interstate 4 and Florida's Turnpike, with McCoy Air Force Base, soon to become Orlando International Airport, to the east, and immediately fell in love with the site. The so-called black amber is only a kind of jet.

The airplane he travelled in would be used by future Disney executives to travel to the Resort from the company headquarters in Burbank, California and can now be seen at the Disney-MGM Studios. Enclosures of pyrites may give a bluish colour to amber. Walt Disney first flew over the Orlando site (one of many) on November 22, 1963. Impurities are quite often present, especially when the resin dropped on to the ground, so that the material may be useless except for varnish-making, whence the impure amber is called firniss. Additionally, Walt Disney disliked the businesses that had sprung up around Disneyland, and wanted control of a much larger area of land for the new project. The abnormal development of resin has been called succinosis. Market surveys revealed that only 2% of Disneyland's visitors came from east of the Mississippi River, where 75% of the population of the United States lived. Sometimes the amber retains the form of drops and stalactites, just as it exuded from the ducts and receptacles of the injured trees.

In 1959, the Walt Disney Company, under the leadership of Walt Disney, began looking for land for a second resort to supplement Disneyland, which had opened in Anaheim in 1955. Fragments of wood frequently occur, with the tissues well-preserved by impregnation with the resin; while leaves, flowers and fruits are occasionally found in marvellous perfection. Walt Disney World pastry chefs use more than 1,050 pounds of honey, 100 pounds of sugar, and 50 pounds of dark chocolate to bake gingerbread houses and other decorations for the holidays. Even hair and feathers have occasionally been represented among the enclosures. According to Disney's "MouseMail" email newsletter: during the Christmas season, one hundred fifty truckloads of holiday decorations adorn the Walt Disney World Resort and 300,000 yards of ribbon and bows drape over 1,500 Christmas trees. In most cases the organic structure has disappeared, leaving only a cavity, with perhaps a trace of chitin. Another quarter has been set aside as a wilderness preserve. The resin contains, in addition to the beautifully preserved plant-structures, numerous remains of insects, spiders, annelids, crustaceans and other small organisms which became enveloped while the exudation was fluid.

Less than one-quarter of the property has been developed. It is improbable, however, that the production of amber was limited to a single species; and indeed a large number of conifers belonging to different genera are represented in the amber-flora. Walt Disney World Resort covers a total of 47 square miles (122km²), about the size of San Francisco or twice the size of Manhattan. Goppert named the common amber-yielding pine of the Baltic forests Pinites succiniter, but as the wood, according to some authorities, does not seem to differ from that of the existing genus it has been also called Pinius succinifera. Two monorail lines also operate at Walt Disney World Resort: one links the Magic Kingdom, the Contemporary and Polynesian and Grand Floridian resorts, and the Transportation and Ticket Center (with an express track in the other direction, only stopping at the TTC and the Magic Kingdom); the other links Epcot and the Transportation and Ticket Center. R. Taxi boats link some locations. H.

They are not to be confused with the Disney Cruise Line and Disney's Magical Express buses, which are run by Mears Transportation. Relics of an abundant flora occur in association with the amber, suggesting relations with the flora of Eastern Asia and the southern part of North America. There is a fleet of Disney-operated buses on property, branded Disney Transport free for use by resort and park guests. It appears, however, to have been partly derived from yet earlier Tertiary deposits (Eocene); and it occurs also as a derivative mineral in later formations, such as the drift. In a March 30, 2004 article in The Orlando Sentinel, Walt Disney World president Al Weiss gave some insight into how the parks are maintained:. The Baltic amber or succinite is found as irregular nodules in a marine glauconitic sand, known as blue earth, occurring in the Lower Oligocene strata of Sambia in Kaliningrad Oblast, where it is now systematically mined. The Walt Disney World Resort also sponsors and operates the Walt Disney World College Program, an internship program that has US college students live on-site and work for the Resort, providing much of the theme park and resort "front line" cast members. It enables the distinction between baltic amber and non-Baltic varieties because of a specific carbonyl absorption and it can also detect the relative age of an amber sample.

The largest single-site employer in the United States, Walt Disney World Resort has more than three thousand job classifications. An effective tool for Amber analysis is IR spectroscopy. Today it employs more than 57,000 cast members, spending more than $1.1 billion on payroll and $478 million on benefits each year. Its specific gravity varies from 1.05 to 1.10. When the Magic Kingdom opened in 1971, the Walt Disney World Resort employed about 5,500 cast members. Succinite has a hardness between 2 and 3, which is rather greater than that of many other fossil resins. Walt Disney World paved the way for many other theme parks and attractions in the area, including SeaWorld and Universal Studios, and helped make Orlando a popular tourist destination for people from all over the world. True Baltic amber is distinguished by its yield of succinic acid, for many of the other fossil resins which are often termed amber contain either none of it, or only a very small proportion; hence the name succinite proposed by Professor James Dwight Dana, and now commonly used in scientific writings as a specific term for the real Prussian amber.

There are two miniature golf courses: Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland. The aromatic and irritating fumes emitted by burning amber are mainly due to this acid. The five 18-hole golf courses are the Magnolia, the Palm, Lake Buena Vista, Eagle Pines, and Osprey Ridge (the last two are part of the Bonnet Creek Golf Club). True amber yields on dry distillation succinic acid, the proportion varying from about 3 to 8%, and being greatest in the pale opaque or bony varieties. The Walt Disney World resort also includes five world-class golf courses. Heated rather below 300°C, amber suffers decomposition, yielding an "oil of amber", and leaving a black residue which is known as "amber colophony", or "amber pitch"; when dissolved in oil of turpentine or in linseed oil this forms "amber varnish" or "amber lac". The themed resorts include:. Heating amber will soften it and eventually it will burn, which is why the German word for amber is bernstein.

The non-themed hotels are owned by private, non-Disney hospitality companies such as Starwood, Holiday Inn, and Hilton. The average composition of amber leads to the general formula C₁₀H₁₆O. Another notable aspect is the large number of hotel resort complexes on the Walt Disney World property. As amber matures over the years, more polymerization will take place as well as isomerization reactions, crosslinking and cyclization. The Downtown Disney area contains many shopping, dining, and entertainment venues, including DisneyQuest (a "virtual theme park" inside a building), the House of Blues, and a permanent Cirque du Soleil show (La Nouba). Labdanes are tetrameric terpenes (C₂₀H₃₂) and trienes which means that the organic skeleton has three alkene groups available for polymerization. There are also two water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach (a third, River Country, is permanently closed), as well as the Disney's Wide World of Sports athletic complex. Amber is a macromolecule by free radical polymerization of several precursors in the labdane family, communic acid, cummunol and biformene ^[1].

Walt Disney World Resort features four major theme parks, each with a main attraction that serves as its symbol:. Amber is heterogeneous in composition, but consists of several resinous bodies more or less soluble in alcohol, ether and chloroform, associated with an insoluble bituminous substance. Walt Disney World Resort is the largest theme park resort in the world. During the fourteenth century, the Teutonic Knights controlled the production of amber in Europe, forbidding its unauthorised collection from beaches on the Baltic coastline under their jurisdiction, and punishing breakers of this ordinance with death. The land within Walt Disney World Resort is part of the Reedy Creek Improvement District which allows the Disney corporation to exercise quasi-governmental powers over the area. There is also strong evidence for the theory that the Baltic coasts during the advanced civilization of the Nordic Bronze Age was the source of most amber in Europe, for example the amber jewelry found in graves from Mycenaean Greece has been found to originate from the Baltic Sea. Most of Walt Disney World's Central Florida land, and all of the public areas, are located in the cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, located southwest of Orlando and a few miles northwest of Kissimmee. Tacitus in his Germania talks about the Aesti people as the only ones to gather amber from the Baltic Sea.

In fact, the entire Walt Disney World property is outside Orlando city limits; the majority sits within southwestern Orange County, with the remainder in adjacent Osceola County to the south. Pliny the Elder complains that a small statue of amber costs more than a healthy slave. A popular misconception is that the resort exists in Orlando, Florida. Amber was mentioned by Homer, Aristotle, Plato and others. Disney, Walt Disney's older brother, who would dedicate the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World, and would officially proclaim "Disney World" as "Walt Disney World" in his brother's honor. The German word is Bernstein. In the end, it was Roy O. The Old Hebrew חשמל hashmal seems to have meant amber, although Modern Hebrew uses Arabic-inspired ענבר `inbar.

The official symbol, however, can still be found in many places around the Walt Disney World Resort, as well as in recent merchandise that uses it once again. By Latin writers amber is variously called electrum, sucinum (succinum), and glaesum or glesum. Walt Disney World put an end to use of both its original font and official symbol at the conclusion of Walt Disney World's 25th Anniversary Celebration in 1996. This property, first recorded by Thales of Miletus, suggested the word "electricity", from the Greek, elektron, a name applied, however, not only to amber but also to an alloy of gold and silver. While Disneyland has kept its original font, it has lost nearly all references to its offical symbol. True amber has sometimes been called kahroba, a word of Persian derivation signifying "that which attracts straw", in allusion to the power which amber possesses of acquiring an electric charge by friction. To reinforce the updated name and image, Disney World's official symbol was to be an oversized "D" with the face of Mickey Mouse depicted as the lines of latitude and longitude of this new World. The name comes from the Arabic عنبر, ʻanbar, probably through Spanish, but this word referred originally to ambergris, which is an animal substance quite distinct from yellow amber.

After Walt Disney's death, the title of "Disney World" was settled upon, to be presented in a modern font instead of the original Disneyland font. . However Walt Disney did make reference to the Walt Disney World Resort as both "Disney World" and "The Disney World", with both of these versions using the same font that was used in the spelling of Disneyland. Most of the world's amber is in the range of 30–90 million years old. There is no official documentation showing that the Walt Disney World Resort was originally to be spelled "Disneyworld", for it was already going to be far different than "Disneyland". Although not mineralized it is sometimes considered and used as a gemstone. Walt Disney focused most of his attention on the "Florida Project" both before and after his participation at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, but died in December of 1966, almost five years short of seeing his vision realized. Amber is a fossil resin much used for the manufacture of ornamental objects.

Much later, concepts from the original idea of EPCOT would be integrated into the community of Celebration, Florida. Most of the Burmese amber is worked at Mandalay into rosary-beads and ear-cylinders. EPCOT became EPCOT Center, the second theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort. Burmite and simetite agree also in being destitute of succinic acid. However plans for EPCOT would drastically change after Walt Disney's death. The Burmese amber is yellow or reddish, some being of ruby tint, and like the Sicilian amber it is fluorescent. EPCOT was also known as Progress City. The mines were visited some years ago by Dr Fritz Noetling, and the mineral has been described by Dr Otto Helm.

There was also to be of course various housing for guests to the resort, along with an industrial park, main resort terminal, and a futuristic airport, but most importantly was Walt Disney's "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow", or EPCOT as it is better known with respect as an acronym. It occurs in the Hukawng valley, in the Nangotaimaw hills, where it is irregularly worked in shallow pits. Walt Disney originally envisioned what would eventually become the Walt Disney World Resort as a resort that would have a Magic Kingdom somewhat larger and more elaborate than the Magic Kingdom of Disneyland. It is found in fiat rolled pieces, irregularly distributed through a blue clay probably of Miocene age. . Until the British occupation of Burma but little was known as to its occurrence, though it had been worked for centuries and was highly valued by the natives and by the Chinese. The 47-square-mile (122 km²) property is the largest theme park resort in the world. Burmite is the name under which the Burmese amber is now described.

In addition to these four main theme parks, the resort contains two water parks, six golf courses, a sports complex, an auto race track, more than twenty resort hotels, and numerous shopping, dining, and entertainment offerings. The amber of Sicily seems not to have been recognized in ancient times, for it is not mentioned by local authorities like Diodorus Siculus. It opened on October 1, 1971 with the Magic Kingdom, and has since added Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. Moreover, yellow amber after long burial is apt to acquire a reddish colour. Walt Disney World Resort is a theme park destination resort owned and operated by the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts segment of The Walt Disney Company. It has even been supposed that amber passed from Sicily to northern Europe in early times - a supposition said to receive some support from the fact that much of the amber dug up in Denmark is red; but it must not be forgotten that reddish amber is found also on the Baltic, though not being fashionable it is used rather for varnish-making than for ornaments. The Walt Disney World Resort, often referred to as simply Walt Disney World or Disney World, is located in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA. It has been conjectured that the ancient Etruscan ornaments in amber were wrought in the Italian material, but it seems that amber from the Baltic reached the Etruscans at Hatria.

Disney's Animal Kingdom, 7.82 million visitors. Amber is also found in many localities in Emilia, especially near the sulphur-mines of Cesena. Disney-MGM Studios, 8.26 million visitors. It is remarkable for its fluorescence, which in the opinion of some authorities adds to its beauty. Epcot, 9.4 million visitors. This beautiful material presents a great diversity of tints, but a rich hyacinth red is common. Magic Kingdom, 15.17 million visitors. It occurs in Miocene deposits and is also found washed up by the sea near Catania.

This is for Florida Residents only and requires proof of residency. Simetite, or Sicilian amber, takes its name from the river Simeto or Giaretta. You do not get complimentary parking. According to Gheorghe Murgoci the Romanian amber is true succinite. Florida Resident Epcot After 4 Annual Pass - This allows guests unlimited access to Epcot after 4pm. Sulphur is present to the extent of more than 1%, whence the smell of sulphuretted hydrogen when the resin is heated. This is for Florida Residents only and requires proof of residency. The nodules are penetrated by cracks, but the material can be worked on the lathe.

You do not get complimentary parking. Roumanite, or Romanian amber, a dark reddish resin, occurring with lignite in Tertiary deposits. The ticket has black out dates that are around Christmas/New Years, Easter, most of June to August and Thanksgiving. Allingite, a fossil resin allied to succinite, from Switzerland. Florida Resident Seasonal Pass - This allows guests to have limited access to The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney MGM Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Krantzite, a soft amber-like resin, found in the lignites of Saxony. You also get complimentary parking. Glessite, a nearly opaque brown resin, with numerous microscopic cavities and dusty enclosures, named from glesum, an old name for amber.

Annual Passport - This allows guests to have unlimited access to The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney MGM Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Beckerite, a rare amber in earthy-brown nodules, almost opaque, said to be related in properties to gutta-percha. You also get complimentary parking.

Premium Annual Passport - This allows guests to have unlimited access to The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom, Pleasure Island, Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, DisneyQuest, and Disney's Wide World of Sports complex. The name comes from Gedanum, the Latin name of Gdańsk at the Baltic Sea. DINOSAUR (formerly named Countdown to Extinction). It is often covered with a white powder easily removed by wiping.

Expedition Everest. Gedanite, or brittle amber, closely resembling succinite, but much more brittle, not quite so hard, with a lower melting point and containing no succinic acid. Kali River Rapids. Primeval Whirl. Kilimanjaro Safaris.

Disney's Animal Kingdom
