Down the Rabbit Hole

So, I've been a busy bee since I started this thing. I'm back again. Hi, whoever is out there reading this. I just got back from a trip to Disney World with my mother and my aunt. That was exciting. I've come to the conclusion that every child should go to Disney World at least once in their life. I guess this is not a reasonable thing to wish for. I know, Disney World is expensive. Some families save their entire life for one trip to Disney World. I was a lucky one. My parents were able to take me several times when I was a child and they are still able and willing to take me now that I am an adult. But here are the reasons I think every child should be allowed to experience Disney at least once:

1. The park attendants make you feel special.
When you're at Disney World you're not just an ordinary little girl, you're a princess. Everyone calls you princess. Everyone is there to make your experience the most magical one possible. Disney World is a place where every child is assured to feel important. Even in crowds of thousands of people it is made certain that every child is able to feel like the entire park is revolving around them. That's a nice feeling when you're a kid and you think no one listens to you.

2. Disney can make you forget all your problems.
When you're in Disney World things aren't as bad as they are in the real world. Nothing can be bad when Mickey Mouse is around and everyone is smiling and laughing and having a good time. It's a place where you can go and all your worries melt away. There's no concern for the economy or the future in Disney World, unless it's the concern that Walt Disney's future in Tomorrowland was not wholly accurate. Disney World is able to erase the uncertainties of life and present a person with pure joy.

3. It'll bring your family closer together.
This is the big one. Disney World is something that a child can share with its parents. Everyone is having a good time while they're there and so fond memories can be shared by everyone. For a child, it is a place where parents listen. For a parent, it is a place where their children are completely happy. This shared happiness creates something wonderful between a parent and a child that will stay with both parties as long as they both live.

As a child I went to Disney World several times and each time is one of the happiest moments of my life. Of course I remember the rides and the shows and the candy and the toys. But that's not what's most important. What I remember the most is how happy I was and how happy my family was too. We all got along and we all made it work in Disney World and I guess that's why it's important to me. I think every child should be able to have these fond memories to look back on. I know that someday my children will certainly be given the experiences I was lucky enough to have as a kid in Disney World. But maybe that's just me. I certainly hope not though.
