We can admit it; we're sorta obsessed with Disney. Let's put it this way, if there was a Disney fandom (I'm sure there is) we would be the president. Don't believe us? We took a graduate studies course called "Disney And The American Dream" where we wrote 10 page academic papers on the Evolution of the Disney Princess.
Yeah, our love is an intense one. Anyway...clearly this is a biased post, but what we really hope to get across to you is that Disney World is not just for die-hard fans like us, children, or family units in matching tees (although you'll see those families there), but also that Disney is a vacation that anyone can enjoy!
We'll even prove it with our top 7 reasons to make Disney World your next vacation destination...
1. Let's start off with a bang!
There is nothing more impressive than the firework shows that close the parks every night. Epcot's "Illuminations" and Magic Kingdom's "Wishes" are breathtaking. We were also lucky to see Disney's Independence Day Show.
[INSIDER'S TIP] While, we don't suggest going to the packed out park on the 4th of July, we do suggest taking a seat and watching it from one of their nearby resorts.

2. Drinks Around The World
The best place to get a drink is Mexico, there freshly squeezed lime margaritas are the best way to start your world trip. There are a couple places to dine inside Mexico, so make sure you go to La Cava del Tequila for the best authentic tequilas.
3. Food Around The World
Our personal favorite place to dine is in Mexico, and our favorite food to eat? The French delicacy, the Napolean cake- perfect to share!
4. Resort Living For Lower Prices
While Disney Resorts range in prices from uber-luxe, expensive, to affordable, there are also a host of Disney affiliated hotels in the surrounding areas like Downtown Disney. These hotels offer amazing deals and packages as well as
The Caribe Royale, Moderate Hotel Disney Affiliated
Lake Buena Vista Palace Resort & Spa, Moderate Disney Affiliated Hotel
5. Downtown Disney
Whether it is grabbing an ice cream cone at Ghirardelli, enjoying fine dining next to aquatic seascapes, shopping, or driving a car into water there is something for everyone at Downtown Disney.
6. Forget Uber, FREE Transportation...Everywhere.
Within the Disney compound all Disney residents travel free from once you step off your plane to all around the parks, water parks, hotels, and Downtown Disney.
7. Photo Opp Like The Celebs
Celebrities are always visiting Disney World, either with their squads, their kids, or their significant others. Make fantastic memories and capture them easily with Disney's friendly photography staff! They are EVERYWHERE. Plus, the photos if you invest in a Disney Magic Band will automatically upload a digital copy to your Disney App.
We can think of so many more reasons, like the monorail crawl, thrill rides, Epcot's Food & Wine Festival, and award winning shows. And, honestly, this post could go on and on, but we think you get the gist. So, what are you waiting for? Go on and make Disney your next vacation destination!
