\"Walt<\/p>\n

The Mouse For Less Blog welcomes Monica! She shares what she thinks is the best part of a Walt Disney World vacation.<\/em><\/p>\n

So many things come to mind when I think about a trip to Walt Disney World \u2013 lots of fun, great rides and attractions, delicious food, Mickey bars, Dole Whips, meeting favorite characters, and, if I\u2019m being honest, lots and lots of walking.\u00a0 But the main thing that comes to mind when I\u2019m planning a Walt Disney trip is, quite simply, MAGIC.<\/p>\n

And so, my best tip for anyone experiencing the World is simple:\u00a0 Take the time to enjoy the magical moments that will undoubtedly be a part of your trip.<\/p>\n

I honestly can\u2019t think of any other place I\u2019ve ever been that evokes those same wondrous, magical feelings for me or produces the same excitement that I feel when I begin preparing for my next trip.\u00a0 Nothing even comes close.<\/p>\n

What, you ask, is so magical about Walt Disney World?\u00a0 EVERYTHING!<\/p>\n

From the fantasy of the Magic Kingdom to traveling around the world in EPCOT, from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood Studios to the nature that surrounds me in the Animal Kingdom, a Walt Disney World trip is all about magic.<\/p>\n

From the moment I step onto Disney’s Magical Express, it begins to envelop me.\u00a0 I have traveled to Walt Disney World often in the last few years, and my next trip is just a couple of weeks away, when the World is full of the holiday spirit.\u00a0 Each time, I\u2019ve stayed on property in what I refer to as my little Disney \u201cbubble\u201d.\u00a0 The outside world and all of its responsibilities and chaos begin to melt away the closer I get to my resort, so that, by the time I arrive and hear the words \u201cwelcome home\u201d, I am no longer focused on the outside world, but rather, totally immersed in the World instead.<\/p>\n

For me, the magic truly gets underway as soon as I walk into the Magic Kingdom, my favorite of the four parks.\u00a0 It\u2019s nothing less than pure magic as soon as I walk under the train station and onto Main Street.\u00a0 It\u2019s like being transported to another era, to a simpler time.\u00a0 Main Street is stunning, a beautiful array of colors, sounds, smells all working together to entice all of our senses, easily spinning its magic all around.\u00a0 And, there, at the end of Main Street, is the most magical setting of all \u2013 Cinderella\u2019s Castle \u2013 rising up to the sky, one of the most beloved landmarks by Disney fans everywhere.<\/p>\n

Come with me, and let me point some of the magic out to you…<\/p>\n

Nowhere is the magic felt more than in Fantasyland \u2013 particularly, in Belle\u2019s Cottage.\u00a0 No spoilers here, but check out the enchanted mirror!\u00a0 And is Lumiere actually moving and talking to us?\u00a0 And is Madame Wardrobe really doing that???\u00a0 Yup \u2013 you guessed it\u2026 Magic!<\/p>\n

\"BELLE'S<\/a><\/p>\n

There are so many magical moments at the Magic Kingdom (after all, the name says it all, doesn\u2019t it?), some of them obvious and some of them so small, yet so amazing. \u00a0It always tugs at my heartstrings when I see a child excitedly meeting their favorite character.\u00a0 Can you imagine turning the corner and seeing the big Mouse himself, and then having him put his arms around you, dance with you, kiss you, and pose for pictures with you?\u00a0 I\u2019ve witnessed that for myself with so many children, but one in particular, and it brought tears to my eyes.\u00a0 How can you ever explain or describe those incredible moments of pure Magic when your\u00a0child\u2019s eyes light up like never before?\u00a0 It\u2019s indescribable.<\/p>\n

On one of my recent trips, I witnessed an older woman patiently wait her turn to meet Chip \u2018N\u2019 Dale, and, when it was her turn, this woman hugged them and kissed them, and there were tears streaming down her cheeks.\u00a0 She was having a magical moment, and it was so heartwarming to witness an adult have that experience.\u00a0 You just can\u2019t get that anywhere else.\u00a0 From Peter Pan\u2019s Flight, to the Pirates of the Caribbean, to the Haunted Mansion, the magic is everywhere.\u00a0 Take in those special moments and enjoy them.\u00a0 It will make your trip that much more memorable and special.<\/p>\n

And the Magic Kingdom isn\u2019t the only place to enjoy the magic.\u00a0 EPCOT has its own magic to impart.\u00a0 With eleven countries represented in the World Showcase, how else could you have breakfast in Norway, lunch in Mexico, and dinner in Japan if not through that Disney magic?<\/p>\n

Take the time to enjoy what each country has to offer, allowing each to immerse you in its own special kind of magic.\u00a0 Stand in the middle of the plaza in the Italy Pavilion, for instance, and feel the magic of it wash over you as you behold authentic replicas\u00a0of the campanile in St. Mark\u2019s Square, Doge\u2019s Palace, and the bridges and gondolas of romantic Venice.\u00a0 Where else could you sit for a moment and take in all of that at the same time?\u00a0 And it continues all throughout EPCOT – from one country to another, from the streets of France and the Eiffel Tower, through the winding alleys of Morocco, and over the cobblestone streets of the United Kingdom, each country offering countless opportunities to enjoy the magic each has to offer, momentary whispers that will make your trip unforgettable.\u00a0 Take the time to snap a picture of that window, that fountain, whatever it is that will bring back to mind the magic you felt when you were in EPCOT.<\/p>\n

\"FRANCE<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no shortage of magic over at the Hollywood Studios.\u00a0 After all, this park concentrates on the magic brought to us on the silver screen.\u00a0 As you stroll down Hollywood Boulevard, you become engrossed in the Hollywood of yesteryear, highlighted by street performers known as the Citizens of Hollywood.\u00a0 If you can, take a moment to enjoy the \u201cstreetmosphere\u201d these performers create.<\/p>\n

\"MONSTERS<\/p>\n

Hop on the Great Movie Ride and move magically through some of our most beloved movies \u2013 Casablanca, Mary Poppins, The Wizard of Oz, Indiana Jones,\u00a0among so many others.\u00a0 And who can forget Fantasmic, a nighttime spectacular where Sorcerer Mickey uses his imagination to save the day.<\/p>\n

And the magic doesn\u2019t stop when you enter Disney’s Animal Kingdom.\u00a0 Here, you feel like you\u2019ve been magically transported to the jungles of Africa and Asia.\u00a0 Between an early morning safari ride that will have you believing you\u2019re on a different continent to Broadway quality shows, be sure to linger over the sights and sounds of this unique park and all it has to offer.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be sure to find a little bit of magic sprinkled throughout.<\/p>\n

\"MICKEY<\/p>\n

Yes, Walt Disney World certainly provides a trip full of wonder, fun, and adventure, but to me, it\u2019s the magic that makes it so memorable.\u00a0 Take a moment, take in your surroundings, and let the magic sink in.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be happy you did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
