Why You Are Never Too Old For Disney World

As we get older we are always searching for ways to help us hold onto our youth. In today's society that's nearly impossible because there is an added pressure to go to school, get a career, start a family, and make money because that is all apart of growing up, and sometimes it's hard to keep up and you just want to go back to the place where you can be a kid again. Young or old Walt Disney World has the ability to attract people from all around the world. Knowing you can be a kid again anytime you visit is what makes Disney World so magical.

1. The Weather

Throughout the United States one of the places with best weather year round is Florida, more specifically Orlando. It could be December and while waiting on lines in the park you could be working on your tan.


2. Mickey Mouse-eared food

Just imagine all your favorite desserts and foods shaped into the form of Mickey Mouse ears. From the classic chocolate covered ice cream to rice crispy treats or even pancakes.

3. Animal Kingdom

This is by far my favorite attraction at Disney World, you're never too old to love animals and the Kilimanjaro Safaris allows you to get up close and personal with some of the most amazing animals in the world.

4. The Princes

No use in denying it, the Disney princes helped set the bar when it comes to the dream guy and is one of the reasons my standards are so high. The crushes you had as a kid come back immediately when you spot a prince in the park because they always manage to look identical to the cartoon.


5. The Princesses

Every little girl growing up has that one princess they admire and want to be just like so being able to meet them in person and get your picture taken with them and get their autograph is a huge deal.

6. The Shows

Whether it's The Little Mermaid, Fantasmic Light show, or the Lion King Disney has turned each one of these into hit live shows throughout their theme parks that everyone can enjoy. Each show incorporates different elements that make them all unique in their own way.

7. The Shops

Making time to visit the shops throughout the theme park is a must. Who doesn't want a cute souvenir from Disney World?

8. The Parades

They have one for just about every holiday along with daily parades that visitors can see no matter what time of year it is. These parades create some of the biggest crowds of people ranging from five to 50 because that is how captivating they are.

9. Epcot

Epcot is one of those attractions that get better with age. One of the main reasons for this is because once you get old enough you're able to drink in all the different countries Epcot has available.

10. Fireworks

One of the most magical sites you'll ever see are Disney fireworks. Watching them immediately makes you feel like a kid again watching them for the first time. The best part is that anywhere in the park gives you a perfect view.

11. Mickey Mouse

The mouse that started it all, no matter what you won't be able to resist smiling when you see Mickey Mouse. It would be virtually impossible to imagine a childhood without Mickey Mouse so just being around him reminds you of being a kid.

"That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up" -Walt Disney

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
