Article: Three Generations at Disney World

I came across an interesting article today, written by one of 14 people in a three-generational family who visited Disney World earlier this year. The article offers insight into a vacation such as ours, as well as some general information about Disney World.



One thing the article doesn't discuss enough is what Disney World has to offer for adults, including those without children. The resort has a great deal to offer absolutely everyone, and I will be writing in detail in that regard in the future so everyone will know what's available and what to expect.



Below are excerpts from the full article, which can be read here.

She wasn't alone in wanting some fun time with her children and grandchildren at the planet's most ambitious and most popular amusement parks. We, too, were among many multi-generational families who trek to Orlando each year to join 47 million other people who jam Walt Disney World's four theme parks -- Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Hollywood Studios and the Animal Kingdom.



On the busiest days of the year (between Christmas and New Years and around Easter), upwards of 90,000 people a day visit the Magic Kingdom, but May (when we were there) and the fall are much better choices, with just 30,000 visitors a day. Even on the busiest days, Disney's clever Fastpass system (where, at no cost, you get a ticket for the most popular attractions enabling you to return at a specific time for priority boarding) makes long waits a rarity.



Looking back on the five days in Central Florida, we realized that a three-generation visit to Walt Disney World is an ideal plan.
