Disney World for Grown-Ups

One of the biggest misconceptions about Walt Disney World is that it's for kids, and it's a hurdle I consider often. Not widely known is that Walt Disney started to think about building his own theme park as a result of going to carnivals, zoos, and parks with his children. Walt saw that his daughters had fun, but he didn't find sitting on benches all that fun himself.



Walt Disney created the theme parks as places where adults and kids can both have fun. While Disney's marketing typically targets children, Disney World has a great deal to offer adults, as fun as watching kids have fun may be.



Disney's 2010 vacation planning DVD was released recently. As much as I hate Disney's nauseating, cringe-worthy marketing and narration, seeing what Disney World has to offer is better than reading about it. Below is a clip that goes over much of what Walt Disney World offers specific to adults.
