Some people (like our DFB reporters) are lucky enough to visit Disney World all the time. But, some of us aren’t that lucky. Maybe it’s been a few weeks, months, or even years since your last Disney trip.

We get it. Going to Disney World can be really expensive and sometimes things happen that keep us away from this “home away from home” for a long time. Well, if you’re missing Disney and wishing you could be right there in the magic, this post could be great and/or terrible for you. It’s great because we’re about to share a whole BUNCH of videos that’ll remind you of all of the amazing things Disney has to offer. It’s also terrible because you might just find yourself booking a Disney trip A.S.A.P. after watching these (but hey, that’s not such a bad thing!).

There are so many things we love about Disney World and miss when we can’t be there. Here are just a few of our favorite things in the parks and things you have to look forward to during your next trip.

The FOOD

Okay, okay, you can’t blame us for starting with food — we ARE Disney FOOD Blog after all. And seriously, the food at Disney World is something many of us likely dream of. If you’re like us, you’re walking into Disney World with a list a mile long of ALL the delicious snacks you’ve just GOT to try. 

Maybe you’ve got your eye on some classic snacks like a Frozen Chocolate-Covered Banana…

The Rides & Our Favorite Disney Friends

Of course, we can’t do this post without a little nod to the rides that make Disney so special. From Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure…

It’s time! It’s time! 🐭 Let’s go on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure! #RemyAtEPCOT (🚨Spoiler Alert!🚨)

Posted by DisneyFoodBlog on Friday, September 3, 2021

…to a relaxing ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, sometimes there’s nothing like being asked how many are in your party and stepping on a Disney ride.

 

It’s been over a year, but finally…HELLO from the PeopleMover! 🎉 pic.twitter.com/D6g9UlwPNL

Not seeing Mickey for a while and then getting to say “hello” to him in his dapper outfit may or may not bring a tear to your eye.

And we have to give a MAJOR shout-out to the Cast Members. Each trip, whether it’s for one day or ten, is often made better by the amazing attitude of these Cast Members.

You might catch them dancing, creating a special memory for a guest, or otherwise just making magic. And seriously, we’ve said it once and we’ll say it a million times, Cast Members are the best.

ZEN

Yeah, there are crowds. Yeah, it can be hectic to try and manage Genie+ changes, Mobile Order times, and other stuff with your group of a million family members. But, Disney can also be VERY zen.

Our advice? During your next trip, take a moment (away from the family, even if that’s just a few steps away) and soak it in.

Feel your feet on the ground. Make a conscious effort to hear the sounds around you. Take a look at the sky. Put away your phone and your camera. Just enjoy.
