Think you may be too old to visit Walt Disney World? Think again. This amazing vacation spot in Lake Buena Vista, Florida has entertainment for ages two to ninety (and every age in between).

There are four theme parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. There are two water parks: Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. Additionally, Disney even has a downtown-type area called Disney Springs. These parks offer unique rides, classic shows and musicals, exceptional restaurants, animal safaris, shopping, and much more!

Here is a glimpse into why you are absolutely never too old for Disney.

1. Beautiful architecture

Shopping in Disney Springs

Every square inch of Disney is intricately designed. From the Tree of Life's intricate animal carvings to fountains and roads, be sure to have your camera ready!

2. Disney-themed shopping

Take home an Alex and Ani bracelet with your favorite princess or a portable Starbucks cup with different park attractions featured on it. Make sure to leave extra space in your suitcase for the return trip!

3. Exotic animals

Visit Disney's Animal Kingdom to see animals from all over the world. Animals such as hippos, hyenas, giraffes, flamingos and much more! They even have a petting zoo where you can interact with animals such as goats and pigs. This is such a perfect place for animal lovers.

4. "Drinking around the world"

Drinks Around The World

Do you enjoy drinking? Do you like stepping out of the box when choosing drinks? How about trying authentic drinks specific to different countries? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you have to try "Drinking around the world" in Epcot! With 11 different counties, you will have lots of drinking to do! From margaritas to wine coolers, you must try it all! Be sure to pack some water bottles. ;)

5. Typhoon Lagoon's wave pool

Wave Pool

This is the largest wave pool in all of North America. With seven-foot waves, this is not a kiddie pool by any means.

6. Thrill rides

Hollywood Studios' Tower Of Terror

Orlandoweekly.com

Disney is most widely known for rides such as Dumbo, but do not underestimate their thrill rides. Hold onto your hat before boarding these rides. Some of the biggest thrill rides in Disney parks are the Tower of Terror, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Mission: Space, Expedition Everest, and the Rock 'n' Rollercoaster. These are a must-do for adventurous Disney-goers.

7. Pin trading

Disney Pin Collection

All jokes aside, this can become extremely competitive. Purchase pins from different kiosks throughout the parks and trade with cast members. Some pins may even be collector's items, so be careful what you trade!

8. Spectacular firework shows

Magic Kingdom Firework Show

Despite how tired you may be from adventuring all day, the firework shows are a must-see. These shows do not occur until it is dark and leave you with a magical sparkle.

9. Spas

Want to relax on vacation? Book an appointment at one of their magical spas!

10. Classic movie-themed restauraunts

Tony's Town Square Restaurant

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
