5 Reasons Why Disney Isn't Just For Kids
whisper.sh

Often times I hear people say “I’m too old to go to Disney” or “Disney is just for kids, it wouldn’t be fun.” My twenty year old self is here to tell you that those are big fat lies. Disney is magical, and that being said, it was definitely intended for adults to enjoy, too.

1. Walt designed his parks with the whole family in mind.

Walt Disney designed his theme parks for the children and parents to enjoy together. As time goes on, more themes are being integrated into the parks that gear towards adults. For instance, Star Wars has been a huge hit and it gives the parents a chance to pass down some of their favorite movies that they watched as a child to their children.

2. It is a place to reminisce.

I think almost every adult out there has seen their fair share of Disney movies growing up. Disney is a place to re-live your childhood with all of your best memories. Parents get to act like children and spend a few days in the Happiest Place on Earth!

3. Adult amenities.

Disney has a wide variety of activities for adults to enjoy. Disney has 2 full service spas, elegant dining, a new shopping district in Disney Springs, behind the scenes tours, annual festivals, and 3 out of the 4 parks and the resorts have alcohol available at multiple locations. The best part is that’s all just the beginning!

4. Relaxation.

Yes, it is completely possible for adults to relax at Disney! In addition to the spa, adults can relax at the beach, play a round of golf or putt-putt, rent bicycles or enjoy a peaceful campfire and have a s’more.

5. Endless entertainment.

Disney offers fireworks and other shows nightly and daily at each theme park. The House of Blues in Disney Springs offers many shows and concerts and Disney Springs also home to Splitsville, a luxury bowling alley, as well as many other dining experiences and musical performances. Disney's Boardwalk is also home to night clubs, such as the ESPN Club, and a piano bar.


When it comes to Disney, there is much more than what meets the eye. Disney is a wonderful for place for kids, and the kids at heart.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
