In this two part series, I will be discussing reasons as to why people go to Disney World. The first part of this series will be focusing on the main reasons why people of all ages go to Disney and the second part will be focusing on why adults go to Disney World.
Ever since 1971, Disney World has been a place that has hosted hundreds of millions of people. It has become something that so many know and love, but why has it become this way?
One reason that many people go to Disney World is because it is consistently changing. Disney is always adding on new additions to the four parks, with a recent example being the new Star Wars and Toy Story Lands. Because of these additions to the park, so many people desire to come back and see the new attractions, restaurants or shows.
Another reason that many people go to Disney World is because it has become a social norm in our society. The majority people would say that they have never met someone who has not heard of Disney World.
A poll by Patrick Reikofski revealed that a whopping 19,332,000 visited Disney World in the year 2014. This means that each day, over 53,000 people would enter into Disney World.
Paige Hardy is a student at Liberty University who has studied Psychology for over three years.
“A lot of people go to Disney today because they want to fit in and they want to take their kids to experience Disney like their parents did. They also want to fit in with everyone who went to Disney and they don’t want to feel left out of not going to Disney and having that experience,” said Hardy. “Also, people go to Disney because it is becoming a social norm in our society that everybody wants to go to Disney so they think that since its becoming normalized, they want to fit in with the crowd.”
Not only do children and families go to Disney World, but many adults also enjoy going to Disney World as a vacation or getaway as well. The reasoning for why adults still go to Disney World will be discussed in the second part of this series
