I love Disney! I’m planning out all of our vacations for the
rest of the year and Disney World is the big one and the one that I’m the most
excited about. I have our hotel picked out, all restaurant reservations setup
(6 months in advance, of course), and now all we need is plane tickets.
A lot of people we talk to don’t understand our fascination with
Disney World and why we enjoy going as adults without kids. So I’m going to try
to explain my reasons for loving Disney World.
For me, one of the best things about being on vacation is
being in a place that is very different from home. It’s not fun to go to the
trouble of traveling somewhere to just end up doing all of the same things I
would be doing if I had stayed home. I like going to Atlanta because my family
is there, and I don’t usually get to see them. Traveling internationally is fun
because I get to experience foods and cultures that are very different from
those found in Utah. And being in Disney world makes me feel like I’m in this
unique, detached world.
The Disney staff does a great job of manipulating every detail of their properties to make those places feel special. For example, when you’re at the Germany exhibit in Epcot all of the employees are from Germany and they’re selling real German food at the restaurant. Or if a little girl is dressed up like a princess and walking around a park all of the employees are trained to curtsy or bow to her and refer to her as “your highness.” When I visit I love trying to find these little details which constantly keep me impressed and happy, which are great ways to feel on vacation.
Additionally, there are so many fun rides, dining
experiences, characters, shows, games, etc. at Disney that you’re constantly
being entertained. Being there makes me feel like a kid because I’m not
normally having fun so frequently in my normal life. So in conclusion, I love
Disney because it’s very fun and very well executed. I appreciate entertainment
mixed with efficiency and excruciating attention to detail. If you’re questioning whether Disney really is
worth the time and money, just give it a try and see what you think, you
definitely won’t be disappointed. And if you’re an adult, try to schedule your
trip so it coincides with the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot. Now it’s time to share pictures, here are some from my recent
trips:
