Why do you go to Disney? Resort? Meals? Parks?

[imgoingtodisney]

I keep changing my mind. Is the resort (we're staying at Wilderness Lodge), PS meals (Chef Mickey's, Crystal Palace, etc) most important to you? Or is it the parks themselves?

For me it is not just one thing, I would have to say I keep going back because of the whole overall experience. There is just something special (or magical) about being there. I love the resorts and parks. All of it. I can't wait to go! 39 more days

Mine is every part of it, we stay at CBR so that we can enjoy the beach, relax, swim
have fun on the water (water mice etc..) PLUS have fun at the parks all along the way
eating so much that we have to be rolled out of the resteraunts...but its so fun and its
a chance to be kids again even though we are 40!

The PS, resorts, etc. are nice and add to the magic, but are not necessary to me.

Parks for us too. We like a good resort and certainly love to eat but we always make a beeline for the parks and almost always stay in them until they throw us out.

I have to say that it is the parks for us too. We enjoy caharcter meals and themed restaurants, too. The Disney resorts are wonderful too. But we are in the parks every minute we can be.

I would have to agree with the whole overall experience! Each piece added together adds up to the magical experience we are after when we book our vaca. Otherwise, we would stay off-site and eat at all the restaurants outside of WDW.

We go for the overall experience and atmosphere. It is the one place on earth that all 3 of us love. We spend less time in the parks every trip and more time lounging around the resort, so the resort choice is becoming a more important factor in our decisions.

I've yet to have a meal at WDW that was THAT memorable and incredible, though I'm still looking. I come from an area (washington dc) with lots of good restaurants, so I definitely don't go to Orlando for the food.

I guess I go to WDW because it makes me feel like a kid again.

We are going because it is somewhere that my 2 1/2 years old will really believe is magical, and I don't have to cook and make the bed all week.

The overall experience can't be beat. We thought staying off site was ok until we stayed onsite and now we will never stay off again. The entire time is Disney that way and it's great.

It's just everything!!! The resorts, the different restaurants, our favorite rides, the new ones, the memories, finding something new, or as I call it, a Disney surprise!!! It sure is hard to put into words!!!

I wondered about that, too...what is the call, the draw, that
causes so many of us to get "addicted" to Disney. I think in
essence it is the fact that the World is a safe, secure place
where you can be entertained to the fullest and never get bored
no matter how many times you've been there. There's always
something new that you haven't seen before, always something
to do, you're treated with the utmost in hospitality, and there's
virtually no "work" involved. How could you not love it? I
suppose I could get tired of the rides or the running around
from park to park, someday, but I think I'd still go back because
of the "atmosphere" those Disney folks create!

Everything! The fantasy of a perfect world-it keeps drawing me back. I am so glad my DD (5) loves it as much as I do.
