been where? WDW or san fran, I'm unclear what you ment

Sorry about that. WDW. I have tried to explain to people how massive it is, and a lot of folks just can comprehend it. I think most people envision a bunch of parks just that are just seperated by fences with a few hotels in the middle of everything. Then when they actually take their first visit, they are just in awe.

Quoted by Walt himself in the "WDW Explorer" CD rom, WDW is 47 square miles, twice the size of Manhatten.

I just wanted to add that in...LOL :animwink:

Walt said that to give the the public an idea of how expansive the property was, as well as an approximantion. In fact they have bought more land since the initial opening to increase the acreage of the total property
