I have been fortunate enough to travel to the Walt Disney World theme parks several times in my life. It’s always an incredible amount of fun (especially if you grew up on Disney films, like myself) and it’s great for getting away and being a kid again. What this means is my tastes in rides and attractions have changed over the years and I have gathered a list of favorites as an adult that I would recommend for anyone in their 20s or older.

Breaking Down Your Trip By Day
Of course this will vary based on if you’ve been to Disney World before, what your personal preferences are, and other factors like that. But to make the most of your experience, allocate a half to ¾ of a day to Magic Kingdom, a full day to two days to EPCOT, ¾ to a full day at Studios, and a half day to Animal Kingdom.
