Why Disney World Is The Happiest Place On Earth

It's Disney World, don't fight me on this.

Why Disney World Is The Happiest Place On Earth

Princesses, rides and magical moments, everyone has their own thoughts about what makes Walt Disney World so magical. Whether you've been once, twice or a hundred times, Disney never fails to put (and usually keep) a smile on everyone's face.

Here's what does it for me:

1. Magical moments

Without fail, my group has had an iconic Disney "magical moment" during our trips. From passes to jump to the front of the line on every attraction at Hollywood Studios, free churros from a vendor, or walking 13 people into Belle's Castle for a lunch that most people need reservations at least a year in advance AND getting free dessert, Disney just gets it. Little things go a long way and little things make people happy.


2. It feels real

From the very first moment you walk through the gates, you become a part of the Disney story. The workers don't have jobs, they have a roles, they don't work, they act. Everything is designed to take your breathe away and make you feel like dreams really do come true. You could be five or 50, it doesn't matter. The magic is real for every one.


3. Cultural Experiences

Of course, you get to experience the culture of royalty in the Magic Kingdom with the constant, "here you go, princess," but let's not look over the fact that there are 11 countries represented in Epcot's World Showcase (plus 22 extra countries during the annual Food and Wine Festival). The countries and booths allow you to taste the country's cuisine, hear their music, see their architecture and experience their culture firsthand.


Although, Epcot has quite a bit to offer, don't forget the exotic land of Animal Kingdom which gives you a taste of Asia and Africa with its safari and the jungle feel the entire park brings to the table.


4. It all started with a mouse

Disney is because Mickey was.

Walt Disney himself said it best, "I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by a mouse."

5. It's the happiest place on earth.

You've heard it said, and if you've been there, you know it's true: Disney really is the happiest place on earth. Between seeing Cinderella's Castle and dreaming about the perfect proposal, or meeting Prince Charming and getting the feels, Disney, in true Disney fashion, never disappoints.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
