If I may veer slightly off topic, for me it's not the rides that I love so much (don't get me wrong, it is the rides, but it's so much more), but the Disney atmosphere and the visuals. Arriving at Magic Kingdom and watching the opening when Mickey and Minnie pull up on the train, seeing the castle, enjoying the excitement of all the kids (big and little) around me, revisiting old favorites, time and time again,and, yes, the clean bathrooms and showers at Fort Wilderness.
And, there are times that I just don't even know why. I mean, it's an amusement park. A self-contained shopping mall. Why do I really NEED to ride Stars Wars every time we visit, take my daughter's picture on the Star Wars contraption every visit ( I mean, for crying out loud we started the pictures when she was four and she's now seventeen, shouldn't I be stopping), get my drift? I don't know why. But, even after vacationing at Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon, or some other awe-inspiring place, I still feel the pull of Disney. And, for me, someone who doesn't tend to be an emotional/constantly fun-loving person, but more like a realistic, nose-to-the-grindstone type of gal, I don't care why Disney makes me happy. I'm just thankful that it does.
