Believe It Or Not, Disney World Is Way More Fun As An Adult Than It Was As A Kid

It is the happiest place on Earth.

Disney World is the ultimate theme park. Everyone loves Disney and everyone wants to experience Disney World, at the very least, once in their life.

It's enjoyable for each person in the family. There's a reason why parents get just as excited about this family vacation as their kids. Disney is a classic brand that literally every person has grown up with and holds dearly to their hearts, and Disney World (or Land) is suitable for literally all ages.

Disney World may be every child's dream theme park to visit for vacation, but it's even better when you're older. Eighteen years or older is the prime time to go to Disney World, trust me.

1. You will actually remember this trip compared to when you were a small child visiting Disney World.

False.

There's a new appreciation for this notorious theme park once you visit when you are grown up. The memories are fresh and you will be able to truly look back on this experience.

2. You get to re-live your childhood.

Giphy

Cue all the Disney movies and shows you grew up watching and playing with the toys. You still remember all the lyrics to the songs from Mulan and basically all the princess movies. And if you forgot a thing or two, you will be getting fond flashbacks at Disney World of your happiest memories.

3. You can truly enjoy all the rides (and wait times).

Giphy

When visiting Disney World as an adult, you must strategically plan all your fast passes and rides you want to hit. You use the My Disney Experience app to look at all the wait times at each park so when your trip comes, you are fully prepared to skip the longest lines and wait for the rides you sincerely wish to ride. As a child, you weren't tall enough for all the rides and even found some of them "too scary" or "too big". Basically, you stuck to the kid's area and rode Dumbo repeatedly, and even for a ride you really wanted to ride, you weren't willing to wait in that line in the Florida heat doing absolutely nothing. It wasn't worth it to you.

4. All of the food…

Giphy

Food is more cherished when you are above elementary grade age and that is a fact. You are actually willing to try all the Mickey Mouse shaped foods and desserts now. Epcot is heavenly for a foodie. Epcot wasn't your favorite park as a child, but now your new appreciation of food allows you to spend the whole day tasting foods from around the world. Who needs the other parks?

5. … and drinks!

Giphy

I know friends who have gone to Disney World for their 21st birthday instead of Vegas because of the multitudes of drinks you can try in this one location. Epcot doesn't only allow you to eat around the world, but drink around the world as well! Cheers!

6. Practical (and cute) souvenirs you’ll use and display in your home.

Anyone notice this famous tea set from another Disney film?

Giphy

My absolute favorite mug for tea, coffee and even milk is a princess themed one I bought at Disney last summer.

7. Disney World isn’t only for family vacations, but a friend’s trip as well.

Giphy

Everything is already planned, you spend quality bonding time waiting for rides, then you all get to share a Disney experience with tons of memories. My boyfriend and I clearly recall getting stuck on top of Splash Mountain twice in one ride and now laugh at it. The memories supplied Insta quality pics for the year! You now have the perfect "Happy Birthday" post picture queued up for each member in your friend group.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
