In my opinion, there is no better place in this world than Walt Disney World. Disney truly is the happiest place on Earth, and I feel that every time I'm there. With that being said, there is a huge void in my life currently because I will not be going to Disney at all in 2016. If you are a Disney freak like my mom and I are, then you understand how heartbreaking it is to not have a trip planned for the near future. Sure you have all the memories of trips past, but it's just not quite the same thing. While I try and keep myself from dissolving into a puddle of tears everyday, here are the things I miss most about the happiest place on earth.
1. The castle
If you have ever been to Disney, you know that the castle is the most breathtaking part. Walking into Magic Kingdom and looking down Main Street, USA, at Cinderella's castle is a life-changing experience.
2. The fireworks
Every night there is a spectacular nighttime show that is usually full of fireworks and all of your favorite Disney songs. Nothing beats ending your night with a spectacular fireworks show like the ones in Disney.
3. The food
Disney has some of the best restaurants that you will ever eat at. Epcot is probably my favorite park to go grab a bite in.
4. The atmosphere
If you've ever been to Disney, I hope you know that it is hard to feel any other emotion but happiness. Just being in a place where anything is possible makes you feel so happy inside.
5. Feeling like a princess
I feel no shame in admitting that I wear a princess crown or an obnoxiously big Minnie Mouse bow while I'm at Disney, because I love feeling like a princess.
6. The people
I don't know what it is, but being surrounded by people that feel the same way about Disney as you do is a pretty life-changing experience. Everyone there, guests or cast members (the staff), are so happy and friendly. Besides the kids crying from exhaustion, pretty much everyone is in a good mood.
7. Wearing all of my Disney clothes without fear of judgement
I probably own around 20 Disney shirts, whether they are long-sleeved, short-sleeved or a tank top. With that being said, I never feel more accepted for having that many Disney-themed clothing items than when I am in Disney.
8. The weather
Although some people complain about the heat and humidity of Florida, I love it. There is nothing like escaping 20-degree weather in the middle of January to be a nice 80 degrees with a slight breeze and sunshine.
9. The rides
There are not many places that I would stand in line for 45 minutes or more than in Disney. Their rides are so much fun and truly immerse you in the Disney experience.
10. The characters
Nothing can make me feel more like a kid than meeting my favorite Disney characters. Every time I meet Minnie Mouse, I feel like I'm 7-years-old again.
11. Takings pictures
Disney is the only place that I will take pictures of literally everything and delete none of them at a later date. I seriously have over 1,000 pictures that I will never get rid of.
12. The resorts
Disney has some of the best hotels that you will ever stay at. They are so homey and comfortable. They definitely do a good job at making your resort feel like your home away from home.
13. Making unforgettable Disney memories
I have made so many memories that will last a lifetime and I can't wait to make even more.
