Reasons to go to Walt Disney World

Nobody usually needs a reason to want to go to Disney World, let alone multiple. Why is this though? Why are we so drawn to this magical place? What makes it magical?

Fun

First of all.. it is the most fun you could ever have. The rides are insane.

The thing about Disney rides I find though, is that they tell a story. Normal rides at your local amusement park are typical- you have your carousel, a ferris wheel, maybe a little roller coaster. Disney's rides are all magical, inviting stories that keep you on your toes even if it's not meant to be a scary ride. You get completely immersed in the tale they are telling. Even if it's a ride meant for little kids, or the scariest thing you've ever been on (hellloooo rock'n'roller coaster), you will be completely engaged and have an absolute blast. So like I said. Fun.

Variety

Let me start off by saying, there are four parks, two water parks, a metropolis Downtown Disney area, and a bunch of resorts... there is not a shortage of things to do. Even between the parks there is a huge variety- at

Animal Kingdom you can go on a safari and see African animals, at Magic Kingdom you can go on the classic rides

like Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, at Epcot you can visit different countries at the world showcase, at Hollywood Studios you can see Beauty and the Beast performed live. Talk about variety!

But even within all these places there are so many options for what you can do. I went to WDW for the first time when I was 18.. so I could do all the adult rides and I did a lot of the kid ones too. Except, what I find for Disney rides, there aren't really "adult" rides or "kid" rides... they just have certain rides with height restrictions. You never really grow out of the kid ones

But, yes, there are scary roller coasters, and there are easy going "It's a Small World" type rides.

In addition to rides, there is SO MUCH VARIETY for food- anywhere from gourmet in the world showcase at Epcot to a hotdog at Casey's Corner in Magic Kingdom. There is s

omething for everyone.

Furthermore, there are spas, recreational activities, shopping, etc., that are around the parks.. you really will NOT have a hard time finding something to do at WDW.

Childhood Memories

We've all seen the commercials for WDW on our VHS for the Lion King. We've all grown up watching Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast. We've all had those dreams where we go to Disney World and woken up disappointed. It's such an integrated part of our childhood as North Americans at least.. even if your first time going to the park is when you're older (like me), it's still just as magical as if you were little.

You get to see all these characters, watch other little children's dreams come true, and immerse yourself in this fantasyland... a great feeling.

Park Memories

I went to WDW with my mum and let me just say it remains one of my happiest memories and I'm so glad I got to share it with her. You will make countless memories at W

DW.. as the commercials often state, you're not young forever but at Disney World you can

pretend to be. Things change so quickly.. children grow up, people move away, you lose touch. Disney vacation memories will last a lifetime. The photos, the smiles, the magic... they stay with you.

Magic

Everything is just so special at Disney World. Even the buses they transport you from park to park are so.. special. Cast members make sure every Disney day is a magical one. It's not like any place you've ever been before- and that's the truth. The magic is hard to describe in words.. you need to experience it. You will experience it the second you cross the Walt Disney World gate... you'll just.. know. I will never forget that moment. I will also never forget being at Magic Kingdom the first day of our trip, and walking in those gates for the first time.. I get shivers just thinking about it!

Me

Come to WDW this summer and visit me! I'm going to be away from home for the longest time yet.. so I'd love to see some familiar faces. I'm trying to convince my friends to come.. hopefully they'll bite.. and hopefully this blogpost will help! :)
