I happen to have a copy of Bob Sehlinger's "Mini Mickey: The
Pocket-Sized Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World (2000)" sitting on my
desk. Here is what is says about the name (pages 2-3):
"Walt Disney World encompasses 43 square miles, an area twice as
large as Manhattan island. In this expanse are the Magic Kingdom,
Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, and the Animal Kingdom theme parks, two
night-life areas, a sports complex, golf courses, hotels and
campgrounds, almost a hundred restaurants, four interconnected lakes, a
shopping complex, three convention venues, a nature preserve, and a
transportation system.
"The formal name is Walt Disney World, but most tourists refer to
the entire Florida Disney facility simply as Disney World. The Magic
Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, and the Animal Kingdom are thought
of as being 'in' Disney World."
Great book, BTW. Highly recommended if you are going to visit the park
any time soon.
