6 Life Lessons We Can Learn At Walt Disney World
Sara Taylor

People know of Walt Disney World as the place where dreams come true, or the happiest place on Earth. It is filled with beautiful fairy tales, great food and fun attractions. Although all of the things that make up Disney World are fantastic, when you look past them there are many wonderful life lessons hidden in all of the fun. Here are six life lessons that everyone can learn from Disney World.

1. There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow:

Shining at the end of every day, the Carousel of Progress is the only attraction at WDW that Walt Disney has been on himself. It’s a little dated and, for most people, going on it one time is enough. However, I think everyone should experience it at least once because the message behind it is beautiful. The attraction and the song from it promote positivity, innovation and enthusiasm for the future.

“Man has a dream and that's the start, He follows his dream with mind and heart. And when it becomes a reality, It's a dream come true for you and me. So there's a great big beautiful tomorrow, Shining at the end of every day. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, Just a dream away.”

2. Any dream is possible.

Multiple times a day in the Magic Kingdom there is a castle show called “Dream Along With Mickey" where Mickey, Minnie and Goofy teach Donald about the power of dreams. This show gives a powerful message in a fun way and reminds every to never stop believing in their dreams. As Mickey says:

“By remembering about the power of dreams, you reminded us all that when we believe in ourselves, and our friends, and our family — why, there’s nothin’ we can’t do.”

3. It’s a small world after all.

While you may not want to risk getting the song stuck in your head, Small World is a fantastic attraction and the song really gives the whole message. In this attraction you will travel around the world and see that is really is a small world after all.

“It's a world of laughter, a world of tears. It's a world of hopes and a world of fears. There's so much that we share that it's time we're aware: It's a small world after all.”

4. It's a big blue world.

"Finding Nemo: The Musical" may not be the favorite attraction of a lot of people, but this song is a great reminder that the world is big and needs to be explored. You may not be swimming your way across the ocean, but there are adventures to be had, so take a tip from Nemo and explore what’s out there in the big blue world.

“Can you believe there are so many things? In the big blue world, I'm gonna go explore. In the big blue world, that I've never seen before.”

5. Wishes.

The best fireworks you will ever see happen every night in the Magic Kingdom and they come with a powerful message: Never stop believing in your wishes. The fireworks are set to the music, as well as quotes, from a wide range of Disney movies, all talking about wishing. You go from hearing Cinderella wish she could go to the ball to the voice of Aladdin wishing Genie free and Peter Pan wishing that he’d never have to grow up. Wishes are a powerful thing, and the beauty of the fireworks over Cinderella's castle, accompanied by a perfect soundtrack, is a reminder to everyone to never stop believing in WISHES.

“Remember, we must always believe in our wishes, for they are the magic in the world.”

6. It all started with a mouse.

One of Walt Disney’s most famous quotes is, “Let us not lose sight of one thing: that it was all started by a mouse.” On a train ride home to tell his brother Roy that they had just lost everything they had, Walt drew a little mouse. Walt did the things that everyone else said was impossible. He was never afraid to chase his dreams. The mouse he drew on a train ride became the face of many TV shows as well as a theme park, named after Walt himself: Disneyland. Now there are many theme parks across the world in addition to many other movies and products. Walt Disney World serves as proof that nothing is impossible and that you should never be afraid to chase your dreams.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
