7 Reasons You're Never Too Old For Disney

7 Reasons You're Never Too Old For Disney

Movies can be classified as one (or more) of the several different categories. Disney movies are typically labeled as motion pictures best suited for children or the family to watch.

But I say it's A-OK to sit down with a bowl of popcorn to watch the latest Disney movie. And it's also more than okay to go to Walt Disney World or Disneyland without any members of your group being a child. This is what Walt Disney wanted: a passage into a world where anyone can be a kid and not feel ashamed for periodically not acting or thinking their age.

If a person needs some persuading to watch Disney movies and/or take a magical trip to Walt Disney World/Disneyland, take a look at the list compiled below.

1. A mental break from life in general.

Most Disney movies are 1.5-2 hours long. Take a short break from stress and watch a movie (or several as I like to do). Remember, there will always be something to stress about.

2. Let out the kid in all of us.

Even those people who claim they are mature have rare moments of non-maturity. Make sure those inner-kid appearances are frequent.

3. Drink around the world at Epcot.

Try to take a sip of refreshing alcoholic beverages at all 11 countries in the theme park. Warning: this is not an activity to do with kids around.

4. There is always something new and exciting.

Technology development with both rides and movies. New rides and new food in parks. New story plots in movies.

5. The lessons Disney teaches.

Although these lessons appear simple, they are the staples of life.

6. See others' enjoyment from Disney - both movies and theme parks.

Most people can find at least one aspect of a Disney movie they enjoy, and the same goes for the parks. Embrace those moments of joy, because these memories will last a lifetime, especially when you can see the magic unfolding and the amazement swelling on another person’s demeanor.

7. Relive your first Disney experience.

Every time you watch an old time favorite Disney movie of yours, or return to one of the parks, memories will be embedded from your previous experiences.

Disney is for all ages, whether you're 5 or 85, so why not enjoy it?

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
