Why Disney Is Really For Grown Ups

Drinks around the world—need I say more?

Why Disney Is Really For Grown Ups
WDW Magic

This past month, I was fortunate to experience the magic of Disney once again. I could have celebrated my 21st birthday in Las Vegas, but naturally I chose Walt Disney World instead. It never truly occurred to me that age is not a factor when it comes to Walt Disney World. Here's just a few of the many reasons why you should plan a trip here ASAP.


Epcot's Drinks Around the Word

Margaritas in Mexico, wine in France, beer in Germany, the list goes on. I'll have to admit, 11 different countries each with specialty drinks was a tad dangerous for my 21st birthday, but it was a must. I happened to be there during the Food and Wine Festival which was glorious, too. If you want to go during the fall months, I highly recommend going when this 60 day-long festival is going on.

It Releases the Inner Child

I found myself smiling at nothing just looking around the place. Odd? Probably so. But it really is like nothing else. I oooed and ahhed at the fireworks. Simply put, the magic doesn't fade, even when you're older. Also, I might as well admit that I ran to Expedition Everest and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster - walking is for adults.

Appreciation for the Details

Everything at Disney is so well thought out. They have artistically perfected the notion of "The Happiest Place on Earth." The attention to cleanliness and detail is astonishing. There were Mickey pumpkins along the streets just in case you were't already obsessed with Disney - or fall for the matter. I would have never taken the time to take that in and appreciate the beauty if I was younger. I also stayed on property at Port Orleans and the towels were shaped like Mickey when we arrived. Cue the tears.


Help plan a family trip. Gather up some friends and go for the weekend. You won't regret it, and I promise it'll be worth every penny. Cheers to great memories and never growing up. And most importantly, a place that can remind us of that.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
