When planning a trip to the most magical place on earth, your approach will differ greatly depending on whether you’re traveling with children or adults only. Each group has unique needs, interests, and energy levels, which can shape your itinerary, pace, and even your destination choices. Walt Disney World is magical for everyone—kids, families, and adults who are kids at heart.

When most people think of a Disney vacation, they picture little ones meeting princesses, racing to rides, and parents pushing strollers through the parks. And while I loved those magical years, something special happens when you return to Disney with your kids as they grow into adults. Disney doesn’t stop being meaningful when your kids get older — in many ways, it becomes even better.
