A Disney vacation is a once in a lifetime experience. That doesn’t mean you only have to go once. If you’re like us, once you visit Walt Disney World, Disneyland or take a Disney Cruise, you are hooked. All you want to do is keep going back. The only thing on your mind as you’re headed home is when you’ll be back in the magic. AND there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. So what is it that keeps people like us coming back for more? Why is it that we always go back to Disney for our vacations?

We Always Go Back To Disney

While there are several Disney Destinations and all of them are magical and amazing, we are going to focus on Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fl!

Childhood Memories

The incredible thing about all things Disney is that it connects multiple generations. There is something special about experiencing Walt Disney World as a child and then having the opportunity to take your children. The experience of seeing your child’s eyes light up when they see their favorite character for the first time is enough to bring a tear to your eye. A fun thing to do with your kids while on a Disney vacation is to recreate those photos you made when you were a kid. Have a photo standing in front of the castle with your parents? Or maybe you have a fun picture with a parent on your favorite ride. Take that same photo with your child. Those will be memories that can be passed down through your family. And each time you and your family looks those pictures, they will be reminded of the excitement and joy they felt in that moment. 

Character Experiences

There are a lot of rides and attractions that we, along with many others, love. But the character experiences are beyond amazing. It doesn’t matter how many times we’ve met Mickey and Minnie, we still stand in line to see them again. These aren’t just people in a suit standing in the same spot, taking pictures with guests and waiting for a break. These cast members know how to make each person feel special. They take their time with each person and interact with them in such a way that it leaves a lasting impression. Their conversations can be memories that will last a lifetime. 

The VIP Treatment

If you’ve ever been on a Disney vacation, whether it’s Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Lines, Adventures by Disney, or another Disney Destination, you know what I’m talking about when I mention the VIP treatment. Every person that steps foot on Disney property is considered special and important. From the moment you check into your hotel to the moment you leave, the cast members make you feel like royalty. Disney wants to make sure that each guest is happy and enjoying their vacation. So, they go out of their way to do all they can for each person. They often give magical extras that you may not have been expecting. If they know you are celebrating a birthday or special occasion, then get ready for them to make a big deal out of it. That’s just what they do. And it keeps people coming back for more!

The Food Experience

One of the things we love most about Disney is the food. It is impossible to go on a Disney vacation and not be confronted with the incredible smells of every kind of food imaginable. From the bakeries and food carts to the restaurants all around, you will be going through sensory overload. It’s one of the main things that we miss when we are back home. It’s incredible to not only taste the amazing flavors of the churros and Dole Whip or the Wonderland Slush, but also to see the talent of the artists who create these treats along with the cupcakes and desserts. It’s an experience for your taste buds and your eyes. I can guarantee that you will be craving something tasty from Disney when you go home! But all you have to do is book another trip!

The BEST Place on Earth

Life is chaotic and stressful. Many times, vacations can be the same way. What I have experienced with a Disney vacation is that the cast members work hard to ensure that your vacation is an escape from the craziness of life. When you step onto Main Street at Magic Kingdom, it’s like you’re transported into another world and the cares of everyday life outside fade away. You can let loose and act like a big kid again. Ride the rides and scream as loud as you want. Stop for a moment, look around, and take in all the magic that surrounds you. Check out the smiles on the faces of every cast member. Look at the kids who are amazed at Cinderella’s Castle. While you’re doing all those things, it’s almost impossible not to smile and feel a sense of joy. That’s the magic of a Disney vacation. It truly is the happiest place on earth!

We Always Go Back To Disney For Family Time

A Disney Destination vacation isn’t just a place to experience once. There is so much magic to take in that you couldn’t possibly see it all in one vacation. So, keep coming back. Make those memories with your families. Laugh and be a big kid. Isn’t it time to book that next vacation already? Where is your favorite Disney Destination?
