All the Reasons We Love Walt Disney World

As we plan our next Disney vacation, I reflect on why our family continues to love Walt Disney World. Year after year, it remains our favorite vacation destination, and there are so many reasons we keep returning. Here are the top reasons Walt Disney World holds a special place in our hearts.

It’s Always Clean

One thing we appreciate about Walt Disney World is its commitment to cleanliness. From the sparkling walkways of Magic Kingdom to the tidy spaces at the resorts, Disney ensures everything feels fresh and welcoming every day. Walking down Main Street, U.S.A., first thing in the morning and seeing Cinderella Castle bathed in sunlight is always magical.

At Disney Resorts, the staff goes above and beyond to maintain cleanliness, including wiping down high-touch surfaces regularly. This attention to detail gives us peace of mind and lets us focus on enjoying our vacation.

Disney Is Made for Families

Walt Disney’s vision of a place where families could create memories together remains at the heart of Walt Disney World. It’s a destination where family members of all ages can share in the fun, whether it’s soaring on Peter Pan’s Flight, watching a parade, or enjoying a meal together. For our family, Disney is a place where we can bond, laugh, and experience joy—together.

There’s Always Something New

One reason we love visiting Walt Disney World year after year is the constant stream of new experiences. Recent highlights include:

  • Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT, an incredible indoor coaster that opened in May 2022.
  • Tron Lightcycle Run is an adrenaline-pumping ride that debuted in April 2023 at Magic Kingdom.
  • Journey of Water: Inspired by Moana, an interactive trail that opened at EPCOT in October 2023.

Every visit brings something fresh and exciting, making each trip unique.

The Food Is Incredible

Disney dining goes far beyond traditional theme park food. For us, food is a big part of the magic. Whether savoring a Mickey Bar while strolling through Magic Kingdom, indulging in themed cupcakes, or enjoying character dining at EPCOT’s Garden Grill Restaurant, Disney offers something for everyone. We especially love exploring the seasonal food booths during EPCOT’s festivals, which provide a delicious way to sample cuisines worldwide.

Adults Can Be Kids Again

One of the most magical aspects of Walt Disney World is how it allows adults to embrace their inner child. From screaming excitedly on Expedition Everest to marveling at the fireworks together at Magic Kingdom, Disney allows us to step away from the everyday and immerse ourselves in joy. Sharing these moments with our kids creates memories that last a lifetime.

The Rides Are Incredible

It wouldn’t be Disney without the rides! From classics like Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, and It’s a Small World at Magic Kingdom to newer attractions like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there’s something for everyone. Disney’s commitment to immersive storytelling and themed experiences makes every ride feel magical.

Live Entertainment Adds to the Magic

Disney’s live shows are another reason we keep coming back. Favorites like Festival of the Lion King and Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond! at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios bring Broadway-caliber entertainment to the parks.

We also enjoy the humor and action of Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular and the sing-along fun of For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration. Disney’s live entertainment ensures that there’s always something magical happening, no matter where you go in the parks.

The Magic Is Real

Ultimately, the biggest reason we love Walt Disney World is the magic it brings to our lives. Seeing beloved characters come to life, exploring lands inspired by favorite movies, and being surrounded by an atmosphere of joy and wonder is an experience like no other.

The incredible Cast Members play a huge role in creating this magic. Their dedication to making every moment special ensures that each visit is unforgettable.

Looking Ahead to Our Next Adventure

Every trip to Walt Disney World offers a chance to make new memories and rediscover the magic. We hope this inspires you to plan your adventure and experience all that Disney has to offer. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, Walt Disney World is a place where dreams come true.

She quickly started to introduce her love of Disney to her family with a Disney honeymoon and then family trips when her youngest was 18 months old. She loves the magic that Disney brings to people through theme parks, cruises, and adventures. As a teacher, she tries to bring Disney magic into her classroom to help kids believe that “If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It.” She is also part of the Magic Vacation Planner team as a personal travel advisor.
