In a world that is continuing to crumble around us on a daily basis, Disney is for my family and many more the one place that my kids who range from 21 to 12 want to be a family. It is not about worship as the previous writer has mentioned. It is enjoying the one place in the world that I get to keep my kids my babies. And that we get to enjoy being a family. I am hooked, I will ALWAYS return to this happy place every year for the rest of my life. This is where I choose to be. Even when my kids are gone my husband and I will still return.

I loved this show. I was very lucky to visit WDW around 8 or 9 times over 12 years, visiting almost yearly from the uk from 2003, but it only really grew into this love I have now when I really needed Disney. I have panic disorder and depression and last year was the worst year of my life. I bought every Disney DVD and watched them when I was low or nervous. I made a 90-song Disney playlist I could listen to on my overwhelming commute or at a stressful point in the day. November 2014 I was able to go back and my boyfriend and I pulled pennies together or one day at WDW. We spent 13 hours there and did 3 parks. At the very end of our day we watched Illuminations at EPCOT and I cried on the bus back to the resort because I couldn't believe that the darkest part of my depression could have meant I would never have had that moment with the person I love, in my favourite place in the world. My boyfriend Ed said he watched me all day and seeing me smile again was the best part of one of the best days of his life. Disney brought me back, it is as simple as that.

The stories are the reason that Disney has become such an interest/obsession in my life. I remember as an elementary school aged child, hearing about WDW trips from many friends after March Break. I was so jealous at the time. Our vacations were always camping trips with family. I cherish the memories of my childhood vacations but I really wanted to experience WDW as a child. After our third child was born my wife and I started to discuss a WDW trip. 3 years later we finally arrived. During this trip I realized how magical this place was but it is the message within all of the Disney stories that I really connect with. Now I know that my childhood vacations although none at WDW all had the characteristics of a great Disney story.

I have 2 things to share, hoping it is read.  About a year after my wife and I were married (8 years this June), we went to Florida and did Universal.  We liked it but kept wishing we could go over to Disney.  And as a relative stated "there is something magical about Disney."
3 years ago we did the Disney cruise.  At one of the dinners, my niece got sick.  The staff wrapped up dinner and dessert and sent it to my sister-in-law's room for them to have once my niece got taken care of.  They went above what they had to do.
That's the Disney experience and Disney Magic!

What a great show this was. I only did visit WDW twice. Being from Europe, I really feel lucky, because I know many Europeans didn't have the chance to visit WDW. Hearing you all talk about WDW brought back so many beautiful memories. I have to say: I wish I could be there together with you all and share my Disney feelings. I have been many many times to Disneyland Resort Paris, but that isn't the same as being in Florida. So I have to say this out loud: Yes I'm a DISNEY addict. Keep up the good work spreading the DISNEY feeling and I really hope I get the opportunity to meet you all in Florida. Kind regards, Marco Wintjens (Belgium-the Netherlands area - Europe)

I'm 33 and Disney to me is : I'm disabled and doctors apportments and pain is an everyday thing for me. WDW ive been the 4 times I don't really remember two of them. The first one I turely remember was back in 97 my dad took me on a daddy daughter day. it was a day of freedom and fun. The 2nd time was Christmas 2013. that year was very hard for me  I had to get mris monthly  and was very scarred but for that week I was free (I'm  in av wheelchair so people always talk like I'm not there and I hate it) for that week I was talk too rather then around. Now I cant wait to go again.
