No fly zone?

Yesterday i flew back from Orlando to Chicago-Midway. On our way we flew literally right over WDW. We were very low to the ground, i could look right into Epcot and DHS. This was really amazing and an awesome perspective on the parks. However, i was under the impression that WDW had a no fly zone.
So, just wondering if someone could give some insight on this??

The zones radiate from Epcot and the MK I believe for a certain distance, but only upto 3000 feet.

Thanks marni. We must have just been at 3000ft then. We were lucky enough to have a nice clear day and could literally look right into Epcot. So cool to see

There is a Temporary Flight Restriction 3nm in radius from the center of MK in all directions. This goes up to an includes 3,000 ft above sea level.

The radius ends right at the southern edge of Worldshowcase in Epcot.
An aircraft is able to fly through the airspace as long as it is in contact with air traffic control.

While the TFR is semi-permanent since 2009, the area is not a no-fly zone whatsoever.
