Why You Are Never Too Old For Disney World

Disney is absolutely for the young and the young at heart

Why You Are Never Too Old For Disney World
Travel And Leisure

Let's talk about the happiest place on earth. I've been going to Disney World ever since I was three years old and since then I have probably visited over ten times. Even though I've been so many times I can't begin to explain the excitement I feel whenever even the idea of going to Disney is brought up. However, I can't tell you how many people have told me that I'm too old for Disney or that Disney is really just for little kids — which is totally not true.

Let's start with the characters you meet at Disney World. Yes, I know it's a big deal for the little ones to meet their favorite character or princess but the fun doesn't die down as you get older. When I was in high school I went with my friends and the fun you have joking around with the characters is just as fun as it is for the little kids getting to meet Cinderella for the first time. You finally get the jokes you didn't understand when you were little and the way they talk to you, even if it is more age appropriate, is just as hilarious.

Of course there's also the rides. When I first started going, I wasn't tall enough for most of the rides and I was afraid of most of the ones I could get on. Now that I'm am "adult" I can now get on "The Rock 'n' Roller Coaster" and ride it three times in a row with no problem! Also, as you get older, waiting in line for these rides becomes a whole lot easier; you can play the games they have created for you to play while you wait.

Now, let's talk about Epcot! I feel like I never gave Epcot the props it deserves as a kid but Epcot is unbelievably awesome. From the rides to the decor to the festivals, Epcot is just as much for the adults as it is for the kids. Ever heard of the Epcot Food and Wine Festival? Or the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival? Both so cool and definitely something to try if you are 21 or older — or just super into flowers.

Lastly, I know Disney is known for their family friendly atmosphere but that doesn't translate to a " put a damper on your good time." There are plenty of night-life related things to do such as checking out the different hotel bars or the clubs or Disney Springs.

So keep these things in mind the next time you think you, or someone else, might be "too old for Disney!"

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.
