Hi guys I figured I'd put this question here because I think it would be understood by everyone!!

Well basically, our family life pretty much revolves around disney.. just because of how amazing it is. When you try to describe disney, to someone who has nothing to to with it, you just cannot put into words just how magical it is. Everything about it, the themeing, the music around the parks, the atmosphere. It's not just like a trip to france, its a trip to another world. Everything about it is different, and all your problems at home just don't exist. Does this make any sense? Because I tried to explain it to a non-disney person and they looked at me like I was nuts.  :oops:  Please someone tell me they understand!!

That's pretty much exactly how it is for our family too, both my wife and I are always waiting for our next trip (Halloween) and the children always have such a happy holiday. Our youngest son had his first Birthday party at cafe Mickey and our eldest is having his 7th Birthday there in Oct. The only problem is that it's hard to imagine going anywhere else   :lol:

hi, i tried explaining the magic to my sister, who isnt really in to disney and she just thinks im mental, i dont think any words can really describe it to someone who has never been, i think you need to go and experience it, words will never be enough, they can build i nice picture, but its the feeling you get when your there that just makes it amazing, hope this makes sense lol xx :belle:

It's that tingle you get everytime you mention it. We don't go to visit Disneyland Paris, you go to feel it x

[RockNRoller]

Totally agree with everything said so far. Last year we took friends mainly because the husband wanted to go, the wife not so much but on the Eurostar back she said " Can we come with you next year" then summed it up with "its 100% feel good" and thats what it is for me, for those few days Im there it is the happiest place on earth.

[tinker_fairy]

yeah stacey-claire that makes perfect sense!! could you take your sister with you, so she could experience it too? I'm glad people on here understand, because it is just impossible to explain to anybody else.

and rocknroller, i totally agree with you. I am never happier then when I am in Disney. Especially if you've had a bad year, it makes up for it. Having a trip booked to look forward to gets me through pretty much everything. But I'm not sure how I'm gonna cope when this trip is over, I'll feel so empty!    Just hope I can go next year!  [-o<

I agree, when people are like, 'Why do you love disney so much?'

Im like i cant explain it, it's just amazing !  

[Terkina]

I agree.  I hope my friend see the magic after his first visit to Disneyland Paris.

This is a really lovely thread, i totally agree with everything that's been said already.
I come from a "Disney" family but now I'm in my twenties I'm living with my boyfriend and he just does not get it. At all. I've been twice without him since we've been together (and going back again in November, with my mum and sister) and he really thinks I'm nuts. However, he has agreed as a major sacrifice and display of love, to take me next June to celebrate my graduation.
I have always told myself that as soon as I can get him through the gates the magic will take him over just like it does everyone else. I hope so so much that it does. But I am pretty nervous in case he is immune to the magic - I love him to bits but he is not in any way a cheesy or soppy person! It means a lot that he's doing this for me and I know he will at least enjoy the thrill rides, but my happiness would be complete if he would fall in  love with DLP too.
Guess I won't know til we get there in June 2011.... [-o<

Don't worry Lola, my brother is like that and he totally got taken in by the atmosphere

if anyone can tell me how to attach a photo, I'll post Mickey giving him his 1st Birthday cake.

aww lola you're post was lovely i really hope you're boyfriend understands it when he gets through those gates, something just 'happens' to people and Disney can change everything. My ex boyfriend really didn't get it much, I would love to find a guy who could share that passion with me  [-o<

Dopeydad, I don't really know how to add pictures as I haven't been on here long, but I would love to see a picture. Sounds absolutely amazing xxx

(this should work but there must be a better way)

It was a beautiful moment for us all and just one reason why Disney is so special to our family. It's also the pure escapism of the place. Both my wife and I are psychiatric nurses and see our fair share of the darker side of life so to speak, first trip to Disneyland and we both realised we hadn't thought of work once the whole time we were there, a much needed break from reality.
