The Disney empire attracts people from almost everywhere, to locations around the globe in China, Hong Kong, France, Japan, Florida and California.
Taking the kids to Disney is a magical rite of passage for many families. Kids call themselves Disney Kids, or Disney Fanatics, and even many adults are proud to be Disney Adults, who keep their childlike love of Disney burning throughout life. Some Disney lovers propose at the park, or even visit a Disney park on their honeymoon.
There is a lot of debate about which Disney park is the best. Some like the charm of the older parks, others think the newer ones shine with better technology, some prefer the Disney food and drink options in certain locations. Staying “on campus,” at a hotel located on Disney property, can be a great experience as guests have a very easy “commute” to the Disney amusement parks.
Residents also then enjoy “magic minutes,” where the lines for the Disney attractions are vey short since only Disney hotel guests are allowed. Fireworks around the famous Disney castle, and light shows on boats on the water are loved by Disney residents at night. The Disney hotels “on campus” offer a wide range of price, going from fairly basic for those on a budget, to quite deluxe, with upscale rooms, views, and Disney concierge services providing 24/7 snacking and even drinks. Disney knows the wait for popular attractions can be annoying, so they have recently offered Disney Genie+, along with the Lightning Lane Select, which allows skipping some lines some of the time for a reasonable price.
For the truly elite, a very high end package is available at some parks including Disney World, called the Disney VIP Tour Services. This allows VIP seating at events, a trained Disney guide, and skipping most lines. The Mouse is waiting for you!
