Going to Disney World is a blast, but it doesn’t come without its difficulties.
Not many people get to say they go to Disney World for a living, but I have the pleasure of saying it’s my job. I report on the latest Disney news, tips, tricks, and theme park history, but as fun as it can get, it’s not always easy.
This is after I make sure I’m not passing out from dehydration (ya’ll, I can’t stress enough how important it is to stay hydrated throughout a grueling park day). It also goes without saying, but the sun feels like it literally cooks your brain and you have the faded hats to prove it!
It’s a lot.
But the biggest (and probably most shocking) difficulty during a Disney day is facing challenges spurned on by other guests.
Let me be clear: The most difficult part is the people. People are also the most wonderful part.
Few things in life are better than watching a kid experience Disney magic for the first time, or a family bonding after an incredible ride experience, or just seeing a Cast Member make someone’s day with a thoughtful gesture. People at Disney World can be absolutely amazing.
But people can also be tough. After a long day, it’s not uncommon to see both kids and adults complain, get short-tempered, or forget other people exist. Nothing is worse than when bad behavior ruins the magic for other folks.
I always have sympathy for them even when their behavior affects me in a negative way. I would rather not fear this energy, but ignore it and rise above instead — and that’s not always easy. People have their reasons when they act out, and sometimes it can be hard to take a step back and just show kindness — but it’s so important to be part of the magic when you’re at Disney World.

The people. Used to go twice a year. Florida residence. Now I just can’t. And I have had step back and remind myself that person who just ran over my kid and kicked my cane is having a “moment”. I have found memories and my daughters loves photo albums with the original epcot and toon town. 10k leagues under the sea.
Maybe I’d go once a week but everyday I can’t imagine what benefit there would be to that. It doesn’t change enough to justify the time.
