Why Everyone Needs A Disney Vacation

It's the magic of Disney

Why Everyone Needs A Disney Vacation
Marcy Bernabei

Disney World or land really is one of the most magical places on the earth. After the two layers of security you have to go though, walking though those gates to the other side of happiness is indescribable. I am also not a die hard Disney fan either. I love the princess, and always love a good Disney movie that could make me cry and laugh, but it's never been my favorite, but going to the parks is. My parents took me there for my high school graduation, and then my best friend and I just went for my 21st birthday. It is just such an amazing place. Yes everything is overpriced and always crammed, but that's the magic of Disney.

Whether you're 6 or 60 walking though those charming streets just makes you feel like you're on cloud 9. You are transformed to a whole other land. It puts you back in time, and just makes all your other worries go away. Spending $6 on water seems like nothing because you're in Disney and it's apart of the experience.

Disney seems like a place to visit when you're six with your parents because let's be real it's a little cheesy. The Haunted House ride seems so scary and the Peter Pan Adventure actually feels like you are flying. Although that magic wears off, the magic of just being in Disney remains at an older age. You appreciate the amazing attention to detail on the rides, and how all of the staff are in character. No one slips up, and everyone is so happy. I know I definitely could not do that.

Seeing all the little kids engulfed in the magic, brings joy to anyone. They see a princess pass by, and the faces light up. They watch the parade and see their favorite character walk down the street and are basically moved to tears because their dreams became a reality. When they get off a ride they are just in a whirlwind of happiness because they cannot even fathom what they experienced. They take it all in and describe every experience in full detail and remember it for years to come. The most magical part of Disney though; no one is glued to their phones. Yes, there is the occasional person looking for Pokémon or taking a selfie, but a lot of people are living in the moment. Which does not happen very often.

Disney is a sea of happiness and joy. The only tears shed are from leaving the park, I hopes to return shortly. No matter how tired or sore you are from running around and climbing stairs, you just want to keep going. After spending 12 hours there, I still did not want to leave, and had so much more I wanted to do. It's the only place where waiting 60+ minutes for a ride is okay. It is the build up, and standing in line that gets you so excited. It's the company you're with, and the memories you share. It's the magic of Disney.

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.
