I’m getting ready to go to Disney World and I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I find myself questioning how it’s possible that I get so excited each time. You’d think it was my first visit but I get like this before each and every single visit and I’ve grown up going to Disney World!
Not to get too psychological but I think what it goes back to is the fact that Disney World brings back so many feelings of nostalgia and comfort from my childhood, yet there’s always something new to try so it keeps things fresh and exciting at the same time. There is also something for each member of my family so everyone is happy which is very important to me while on vacation. I love the same feeling I get as I walk down Main Street, seeing Cinderella castle in all her glory. I love the night time parade, particularly Main Street Electrical Parade. I just can’t control myself from doing a jig each time I hear the Baroque Hoedown! Yes, my family rolls their eyes at me each time but oh well! Seeing the fireworks makes me teary (embarrassing but true). I love riding Spaceship Earth, Haunted Mansion, the People Mover, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Just the smells of Disney make me smile. There is nothing quite like the scents of the Main Street Bakery, riding in a boat on Living on the Land, smelling the burning scene in Rome on Spaceship Earth or flying over the orange groves during Soarin’. These are some of my favorite things that I enjoy time and time again.
I’m not one who likes mundane things. I like change in my life. So how do these things not get boring? I’m sure people wonder how I can go the same place for a vacation multiple times a year. I try to change each trip up by staying in a different resort, eating at a new restaurant, trying a new special event, seeing a new show, etc. I am fortunate enough to go multiple times a year and I still haven’t run out of new things to try. I find it keeps things new. Only at Disney can you get completely immersed by staying in a particular resort. You can view animals on a savanna from your room, walk through Radiator Springs and feel like you’re staying in the middle of a Pixar film. You can also feel like you are staying the South Seas or an upscale yacht club and so much more. I love that I can make my vacation completely unique each time yet get that same feeling of comfort because I know my surroundings so well and that’s what keeps me returning time and time again.
