It’s not always easy being an adult Walt Disney World lover. When I tell people I am headed to Disney World on my next vacation, I get that weird look, that one that says “really? What a weirdo”…usually it only lasts a second, and they say something like “Oh, that’s nice” when what they really mean is “that’s for kids…I wouldn’t want to go there”. In these situations, I usually try and be a Disney cheerleader, rallying for Team WDW, and I have come up with this list of things that are so unique, that you can only get them at Walt Disney World:

The Service: The employees of Disney World (they call them Cast Members or CM’s) provide the highest level of service I have ever experienced. They are friendly, polite, helpful, and most of all, they actually seem to really like their jobs. They will bend over backwards to make sure you have an amazing time, and that is truly special, and something you don’t see much of these days.

The Food: Most theme parks keep it simple with burgers, fries, and other fried items. Not Walt Disney World, where you can sample authentic cuisine from 11 different countries at Epcot’s World Showcase, feast on a AAA 5 diamond rated meal at Victoria and Albert’s, or grab a giant turkey leg in the Magic Kingdom. Everything they sell tastes fresh and is prepared with meticulous attention to flavors and the result is out of this world! Oh, and in case you’re in the mood, WDW has those burgers and fries too, and they taste amazing.


The Accommodations: Disney has many different choices of places to stay, all with their own theme. From the Polynesian Resort that’s like living in a luau, to the Coronado Springs Resort where where you can swim in the shadow of a Mayan Temple, to the Boardwalk Resort-where they have a real wooden boardwalk reminiscent of Old Atlantic City (this one is my personal favorite, and is breathtaking at night!)

The Detail: Disney World pays people to create all the experiences in it’s parks and resorts, down to the chair fabrics and napkin designs (they call them Imagineers, which might just be the coolest job ever!). The themes are carried out in every ride, restaurant, hotel room, and swimming pool, and are breathtaking. My favorite example of Imagineering is the Haunted Mansion ride, where you get to ride in a “Doom Buggy” through a truly creepy haunted house (where I still find something new and scary every time I ride it!)

The Experience: This one is a bit harder to put into words, but its that feeling you get when you walk into any of the parks, for me it hits me hardest in the Magic Kingdom, when you gaze down Main Street USA and see Cinderella’s Castle up ahead…and you know that you can have a real vacation, an escape from the pressures of the real world, in a place where you can feel like a carefree kid again.

So next time a non-Disney lover gives you that weird look, let them know about what they are missing. You never know, you might actually convince them to visit the happiest place on earth, and the truth is, they won’t really know until they go.

  1. My mom says she can’t WAIT till we go to WDW. She says she LOVES going to “places like that that” without kids. She’s all this way we don’t have to deal with the characters and all the kiddy stuff you do when you go with little kids.

  2. One of the greatest benefits of traveling to Disney as adults is the ability to enjoy other people’s children experiencing Disney. And another plus, if a child “stops enjoying” the experience, you get to walk away…….lol

  3. Every single time we visit (usually twice a year) I say I am going to go back at some point without the kids. Needless to say that hasn’t happened yet. The guilt would be too overwhelming I think, lol.

  4. Our last 2 WDW vacations have been all adults (2 parents, 2 grown daughters and their boyfriends) and I highly recommend it!! Being adults: no one gets cranky (for the most part), you don’t have to go back to your resort to take a nap (unless you really WANT to), you can eat at restaurants that serve more than hot dogs & chicken fingers, you can stay as late as you want for EMH’s (we were there until 2 AM one night) AND you can DRINK!!! It was GREAT!!!
