Walt Disney World in Florida, United States, is a vast entertainment complex that includes multiple theme parks, resorts, and a wide range of water features. While I can’t provide an exhaustive list of water resources and bridges within Walt Disney World, I can give you an overview of some of the prominent ones:

It is surrounded by several Disney resorts, including Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The monorail system has a track that runs through the Contemporary Resort and provides scenic views of the lagoon.
