13. There are many people who go to Disney World without kids

Mar 30

My adult children and I go to Walt Disney on a regular basis. My first trip was in 1984 with my ex-wife and our oldest was born nine months later. We started going before we had kids and took the kids to Disney many times. I used to have a time share at Disney but sold it after my divorce. I have pictures of my middle child trying to run off with Chip and Dale when she was three or so. My oldest child got on the hot seat at Who Wants to Be a Millionaire at 15. My middle child made into the contestant pool for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire when that show was being filmed at WDW. It was a random selection, and I did not make the cut. She did not get onto the show. I admit that I used to go to WDW by myself when I had the time share and enjoyed among other things playing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (I got onto the Hot Seat 16 times).

I had a former associate at my firm who has visited every Disney resort in every country. My oldest just went to Tokyo Disney two years ago. My older two went to the California Disney parks a year ago. I have not been to the original California park since I was 11 (back when there were "E-ticket" rides) and I am thinking of going back there. We were at Disney World in Orlando the last two Octobers and will be headed to Disney World in December for my 70th birthday.

My oldest has a time share that is right next to the Contemporary Resort where they caught Graham. You do NOT need kids to enjoy Disney World. My oldest is a foodie and there are some really great restaurants at Disney. The restaurant where they caught Graham, Chef Mickey, is a nice buffet that I do not remember ever eating at (there are so many good places to eat at WDW). I personally like a fried chicken place run by Art Smith (who has been a judge on Top Chef). There are several really top tier restaurants at Walt Disney that are very nice.

I am amused that Graham went to Disney World, but I am not surprised. You do not need kids to go Disney World.
