We have made Disney World our family vacation spot for six of the last seven years, with another trip planned for later this year.\u00a0 I have no doubt that some of our family members and friends are wondering, \u201cWhy Disney?\u201d<\/p>\n
Because so many reasons exist for why we continually choose Disney World as our vacation destination, knowing where to begin is difficult.\u00a0 However, I will start with the all-inclusive package that Disney offers.<\/p>\n
Unlike many vacation spots, such as the beach or the mountains, Disney World provides all of our entertainment for one price.\u00a0 Furthermore, when vacationing with the free dining deal, as our family has for the past five trips, the expense of food is not an issue.\u00a0 Few places can top Disney World in this respect. When our family arrives at the resort, we have no need for cash or a credit card because our bill has already been paid in full.<\/p>\n
Of course, Disney is full of delightful memorabilia, so we go prepared to purchase a few goodies to bring back from our vacation.\u00a0 All the same, there is no need to budget for food and entertainment, to study a menu and calculate the most cost-effective purchases for a family of five, or to pick and choose among the many shows and rides in order to be thrifty.<\/p>\n
In addition to the practical aspect of an all-inclusive package is the benefit of being in a place full of joy, entertainment, and wonder.\u00a0 In other words, Disney World is just plain fun!\u00a0 Every attraction, from the thrill rides to the playgrounds, tells a story.\u00a0 The 3-D shows outshine any 3-D movie you will see in a theater.\u00a0 Advanced technology makes even history lectures (like the ones found in Magic Kingdom\u2019s Hall of Presidents and Epcot\u2019s \u201cAn American Adventure\u201d) come to life.<\/p>\n
Perhaps some will argue that having several small kids by their side all day is unpleasant.\u00a0 We have taken family trips to the World since our sons were ages one, three, and six and have discovered the secret to enjoying young children at Disney World: discipline.\u00a0 Appropriate, effective discipline at home throughout the year translates into well-behaved children that will be a delight on any vacation.<\/p>\n
But I digress!<\/p>\n
Disney also provides a bond among the people with whom you travel.\u00a0 Together, we count down the days until our vacation.\u00a0 Upon arrival, exciting family stories develop about breathtaking\u00a0rides, humorous events, and of course, magical moments.\u00a0 The trips with our children create wonderful memories that we talk about all year long.\u00a0 We have also traveled with grandparents, aunts, and uncles.\u00a0 Later, at family gatherings, we reminisce about all of the funny and exciting happenings from the vacation.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Disney strengthens bonds with several of our friends. \u00a0Many come to us seeking advice regarding an upcoming trip.\u00a0 We enjoy fellowship together as we discuss the World and assist them with planning.\u00a0 Other dear friends are also Disney fanatics, and we get-together monthly simply to talk about\u00a0our favorite vacation destination.\u00a0 This beloved group of friends has become some of my most trusted and loyal companions.<\/p>\n
Disney is also a place which truly feels like another world.\u00a0 Once we park our car at the resort, the busyness and stress of \u201creal life\u201d is left behind, and we are now at a place with no pressures or distractions and lots of time to enjoy one another.\u00a0 No expectations are placed on us.\u00a0 Casual, relaxed, and sometimes silly, we converse with cast members, laugh with strangers, and give hugs to mice, bears, dogs, and ducks.<\/p>\n
We also know that Disney trips as they are now will not last forever.\u00a0 Our boys are still relatively young, but milestones occur with each Disney vacation, such as our youngest becoming forty inches tall, our middle son riding Rockin\u2019 Rollercoaster for the first time, and our oldest becoming a Disney adult.<\/p>\n
Eventually, however, the changes will be more dramatic.\u00a0 One son will go off to college, another will marry, one may move away.\u00a0 The day may come when my husband and I travel without our children because they are children no more.<\/p>\n
Why Disney?\u00a0 Because we want to continue experiencing the joy and excitement of a place we all love while we have these years together to do so!<\/p>\n
