On any Walt Disney World vacation, the majority of guests love to spend most of their time exploring the four theme parks and enjoying amazing attractions, dining, entertainment, and shopping. Each park features a different theme that is portrayed through beautiful details, theming, music, artwork, architecture, and landscaping. While each park in Walt Disney World is gorgeous, there are certain places inside, which are just so unique that they cannot be missed on a Disney vacation. From beautiful fountains and greenhouses to fantastic lighting and temple ruins, there are some spots in the parks which are too beautiful to not enjoy. Here are the ten most beautiful places in the Walt Disney World Parks to enjoy on every Disney vacation.

The Magic Kingdom is the oldest of the four theme parks in Walt Disney World and the favorite of many guests thanks to its wonderfully themed lands filled with classic and thrilling attractions. One of the most beautiful places for guests to enjoy while spending time in the Magic Kingdom can be found at the end of Main Street. The hub in front of Cinderella Castle features grassy areas surrounded with beautiful landscaping and flowers, gently gurgling fountains, and statues of favorite Disney characters. Guests can kick back on the grass and enjoy the ambiance while people are watching and taking in the most spectacular views of Cinderella Castle.

Pandora-The World of Avatar, the largest expansion in the history of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, is based on Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron’s record-breaking box-office hit, Avatar, which was released in 2009.

As you explore the vibrant terrain sprawling beneath mountains that appear to float in the sky, you’ll see waterfalls cascading down the mountainside into meandering streams and pools. Then you’ll discover two thrilling expeditions: Avatar Flight of Passage and Na’ vi River Journey. Grab a bite to eat at the quick-service restaurant Satu’li Canteen, or grab a drink and snack at Pongu Pongu. At night the land transforms into an entirely new experience. The bioluminescent plants of Pandora illuminate the land at night, giving breathtaking views of the Pandora landscape that are entirely different from the daytime experience.
