As a follow up to the Top 10 Things Disney Addicts Never Say: Resort Edition, I bring you, Parks Edition. Being a Disney Travel Specialist I have heard all of these at least once from people I enthusiastically talk about Disney to. I’m sure you, as a fellow Disney Addict, have heard some of these before. If you are one of those people, I demand you go back to Disney immediately, because you need some magic in your life!
Here are a few of my favorite lines:
“I think I’m too old for Disney.” Say what!? There is plenty to keep adults entertained both in and out of the Parks. From gourmet dining, to boat rental and jet skiing, musicals, shopping, and tasting craft beer and wine from countries around the world, I *almost* enjoy Disney more without kids! Need some more grown-up ideas? Try these: Disney Magic Outside the Theme Parks or my favorite adult-friendly event, Food & Wine Festival.
“Fantasmic is boring.” Yeah I guess, if you don’t think fireworks, pyrotechnics, and fountains synchronized to music! Fantasmic! is a MUST DO on our trips. I also heard that they are adding Rapunzel to the show!
“You’re going to Disney again? Didn’t you just go?” Yup, I did, and I have a trip booked for 2016 too. Why do you think we are called Addicts? Disney is a different trip every time. Staying at a different one of the 20+ resorts on site changes up the vacation completely. You can Cruise to locations around the world, and visit cities and National Parks with amazing pre-planned itineraries with Adventures by Disney. If you’re ready to find out for yourself what Disney Travel has to offer, I can help., email me at Summer@WorldofMagicTravel.com
“Wake up at early on vacation… for a breakfast reservation?” I am NOT a morning person by any means. But, I do know that making Rope Drop and an early morning Cinderella’s Royal Table breakfast reservation are important at Disney. The empty Main Street photos are totally worth it! I help my clients find the best reservations and plan their itinerary for FREE.
“What movie is Splash Mountain about? Is it even Disney?” Every true Disney Addict should know this bit of trivia! Splash Mountain is the tale of Br’er Rabbit, Bear, and Fox, from the controversial Disney Classic film, Song of the South which is based on the books about Uncle Remus. The movie never released on DVD, but you can still find VHS copies. (And if you don’t know who Orange Bird is, you’d better Google that too!)
“Wait in line to meet a character??” *Eye Roll* We LOVE meeting the Princesses and characters and getting autographs. It’s part of the Magic of Disney. Only in the Parks do the characters “come to life.” People who love Disney movies will wait hours to meet the stars, such as Anna & Elsa. We know where to find them, what FastPasses are needed for the popular meet and greets, and the best time to find them in the Parks.
“Where are the Minions?” You NEVER say this in a Disney Park! This goes for wearing Minion and Spongebob shirts at Disney too. Yes, I like them, they are hilarious…. But it’s like wearing a Browns Jersey to Pittsburgh. You just don’t go there. If you want to add a Universal trip onto your Disney Vacation, just ask me how! I can hook you up with both.
“Dole Whips aren’t THAT good.” Dole Whip may just be Pineapple soft serve but it’s more than that at Disney! It’s a staple. It’s a souvenir for your stomach. In the hot Florida sun, with the Adventureland theme playing and Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse in the background, there is nothing better.
“What’s so great about Pin Trading?” I don’t see how some people just can’t see the fun in being able to collect and trade Disney merch with Cast Members and other travelers. It’s like a secret club! I love trying to find a “theme” of pins, like all Princesses or all Pixar. It’s challenging and it brings people together. Just try it, I PROMISE you’ll be hooked!
“I don’t buy Disney clothes there because I’d never wear them at home anyway” A true Disney Addict has at least one Disney item nearby or on them at all times. No exceptions! From car decals, to phone covers and coffee mugs, we bring Disney home with us, and proudly display it for all to see!
“Disney was too hot and crowded for us.” *has only been July 4th weekend* Share the Crowd Calendar with this person on Pinterest and let it do the talking. What do you expect, it’s Florida, during summer break, yes it’s 90 degrees, yes you will wait in 60 minute lines, but with a proper strategy, time at the pool, and Typhoon Lagoon, even a summer time trip can be magical!

“There’s nothing educational.” Someone said to me once, “I want to take my kids somewhere they will actually learn something”, so I wrote the list Top 10 Educational Experiences at Disney. From culture to astronomy, Epcot alone is a learning experience. The Land and Sea buildings give up close experiences with farming, hydroponics and marine biology. The shows and attractions at Animal Kindom teach an appreciation for the Earth and wildlife conservation.
