The park in Florida has always been called "The Magic Kingdom" and the
entire complex has always been known as "Walt Disney World". I have
guidebooks back from 1972 and they clearly state "The Magic Kingdom" as the
name of the park.
When I worked there (from 1974-1977) we were advised a number of "correct"
ways to state things.
1) The park was always "The Magic Kingdom". Never anything else.
2) It was *never* Disneyworld. It was always WALT Disney World. On the
Jungle Cruise, dropping the "Walt" was a verbal reprimand if caught (have
times changed!)
3) It was always Walt Disney. Never Disney. (see above).
4) They were never hotels. They were resorts. As in Contemporary Resort
hotel. Fort Wilderness Campground Resort.
