It is a right of passage to go to Disney World at least once before you reach the age of ten. Most people have fond memories of their trip, but Disney World is a completely different experience once you're an adult. Older, wiser, and more enlightened, it's finally possible to enjoy the parks in all of its splendor! Nothing can hold you back, aside from your wallet.
1. You're finally tall enough to ride The Rock 'N' Roller Coaster.
Thank gosh getting older means also getting taller. No more disappointment of being too short to ride!
2. Going to Epcot to see the countries is actually exciting.
Epcot always meant too much walking around without rides to catch your interest. Now, you can go on an international shopping spree of items with little Mickeys on them.
3. Not to mention, you can finally get a drink at the Beer Garden in Epcot's Germany.
You can finally enjoy the splendors of Germany without leaving Orlando.
4. Wearing Mickey ears all day is a duty, not something your parents force you to do.
Plus they look super cool!
5. Dressing up like a Disney character to go to the park is a goal.
Disneybounding is the coolest internet sensation that you need to be a part of. Want to dress as a male Cruela DeVil? Do it! Female Gaston? Why not!
6. Dressing up with the people you're with is also mandatory.
Group costumes and couple costumes are super cute!
7. Pin collecting is a serious activity.
It's an expensive hobby but you're all decked out when you show up to the pin shops.
8. You get trapped in the gift shop for hours because you just need everything.
How could you resist the Mickey Mouse cookie cutter or the Chip mug?
9. Instagramming Mickey Mouse shaped food is the holy grail of eating at Disney.
And there are so many! Waffles, and ice cream sandwiches, and Rice Crispie Treats, oh my!
10. Starbucks draws you in, even in the most magical place in the world.
At least the cups are magical.
11. You realize you can't come back for a long time because you tapped your bank account.
The struggle is real, the financial struggle that is.
