Why Disney Is Really For Grown Ups

Drinks around the world—need I say more?

Why Disney Is Really For Grown Ups
WDW Magic

This past month, I was fortunate to experience the magic of Disney once again. I could have celebrated my 21st birthday in Las Vegas, but naturally I chose Walt Disney World instead. It never truly occurred to me that age is not a factor when it comes to Walt Disney World. Here's just a few of the many reasons why you should plan a trip here ASAP.


Epcot's Drinks Around the Word

Margaritas in Mexico, wine in France, beer in Germany, the list goes on. I'll have to admit, 11 different countries each with specialty drinks was a tad dangerous for my 21st birthday, but it was a must. I happened to be there during the Food and Wine Festival which was glorious, too. If you want to go during the fall months, I highly recommend going when this 60 day-long festival is going on.

It Releases the Inner Child

I found myself smiling at nothing just looking around the place. Odd? Probably so. But it really is like nothing else. I oooed and ahhed at the fireworks. Simply put, the magic doesn't fade, even when you're older. Also, I might as well admit that I ran to Expedition Everest and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster - walking is for adults.

Appreciation for the Details

Everything at Disney is so well thought out. They have artistically perfected the notion of "The Happiest Place on Earth." The attention to cleanliness and detail is astonishing. There were Mickey pumpkins along the streets just in case you were't already obsessed with Disney - or fall for the matter. I would have never taken the time to take that in and appreciate the beauty if I was younger. I also stayed on property at Port Orleans and the towels were shaped like Mickey when we arrived. Cue the tears.


Help plan a family trip. Gather up some friends and go for the weekend. You won't regret it, and I promise it'll be worth every penny. Cheers to great memories and never growing up. And most importantly, a place that can remind us of that.

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.

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.
