Walt Disney World kicked off their 50th Anniversary celebration this past Friday, October 1st. If you have not yet watched a video of the new show projected on the castle I encourage you to do so, the artwork is amazing. Should you decide to go see it for yourself, you’re in luck! The Anniversary celebration will go on for 18 months – Disney certainly knows how to celebrate.
While Disney is magical for all ages, I’ll never forget my Disney rep, Jeffrey, telling me after my daughter was born that “the magic fades at 6.” My husband and I were not in a hurry to visit, our daughter had been on several Disney cruises and while we were always ready to travel with her, there were other places we would have rather visited. Of course that all changed about 2 weeks after she turned 6 years old. She told her Gran one day that “Princesses aren’t real, they are just ladies dressed up.” Less than 6 weeks later, we were on a plane, headed towards the Magic. We had a wonderful week, although sometimes I think she would have been just as happy never leaving the resort pool.
Sure, the “sweet spot” for a Disney visit may be when your children are between 4 & 6 years old, but there honestly really is never a bad time. From infants to couples celebrating 40th anniversaries and everyone in between the experience is one that is remembered for a lifetime.
