What brings you back to Disney?
Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted to LIVE in Disney World. Everytime I got to Albany International and boarded my plane all of my worries went away. Disney is like a safe haven for me and I constantly am reminded that I still an be a kid.
My favorite part of Disney, are the friendly cast members. Without them Disney would not be the way it is.
Whats your reasoning for coming back to Disney?

Just the feel of the Parks and the fun you can have as a Family. One big thing for me is how much there is to do in such a small area, you don't have to go very far whether you drive or use other Transportation to get anywhere.
Off Site-- All Star Movies-- Pop Century-- Coronado Springs-- Port Orleans French Quarter

Sights, smells, sounds, and the feeling I am a million miles from my stressfull life. The sights of the WDW signs as we drive onto property, the first sight of the monorail soaring toward Epcot, the first glimpse of the Castle, Spaceship Earth, and Expedition everest. The smell of the Poly's Great Ceremonial House, the smell of POTC as we walk through the old fort, the Land Pavilion, and Mexico's pepper plant aroma. The sound of atmosphere music everywhere you go, bus brakes, and the monorail gliding overhead. I am at 17 days and counting and starting to get a little emotional.....
My first home is in Coastal Georgia, 30 feet from the saltwater marsh, and 3.5 hours from WDW!My second home is the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort!CR,Poly,GF,BC,BW,WL,AKL,Dolphin,Swan,DL,CSR,POFQ,C BR,POP,AS,Vero.

Time with just my Mom, noone else goes with us, noone gets to bother us, just us hanging out. Its awesome, we work alternate shifts at home and I dont get to see her as much as I like, so my trips with her mean more to me than anything. I've never gone there and not teared up at some point, its this overwhelming happiness I only get there, its just so special to me...
You can't take the sky from me

The very feeling the original poster described: being able to feel that sense of wonder, adventure and overwhelming emotion I felt when I first experienced DisneyWorld as a 12-year-old.

Being care free. When at Disney it is a true vacation, you don't have to drive anywhere or think about anything. There is good food at every turn and so much to do. We love being busy and aren't the type of people who can sit at a beach all day. Disney always wins out when it comes to family vacations because of the limitless amount of things to do.

We like the World Class Customer Service. The parks are so clean. The restaurants are very good. When we start a vacation there, I forget about work right away. It doesn't take long to get into the vacation mood.

Family time.
No vacation will ever compare and we are all now adults.
It's also a feeling of security as opposed to vacationing in Mexico or overseas.

It's just a step above.
But mainly its the attention to detail. We've been going for over ten years, and I still find new things, new details that I never saw before. Even when it doesn't change, there are still new experiences to go along with the old favorites.

This is it exactly! Also, we just have not a care in the "world" and no responsibilities other than making it to the ADR on time.

apart from the fact that I feel the same way and age everytime I enter the parks despite it being decades since my first visit...
I'd say it has to be the complete sense of escape I feel the minute I get off the plane. Once I start walking down the familiar terminal, and out to the rental car lane, and then to road 417 I am "away" from normal life. I especially enjoy the drive from the airport to the resorts/parks because it adds to the feeling of "going away" for a while. I feel like nothing can touch me, and I am most happy the most relaxed when I am at WDW. Everything from the food at Epcot, chatting with strangers at the poolside bar, hearing other people scream with you on rides, and the feeling that you aren't in Florida but some other land depending on where you are in the parks are things only WDW can offer me. I hope one day when I can afford it, or retired, I can give back to the parks a little of what they gave me. I at least always try to pass on some "magic" to others at the parks, like giving away my arcade tokens, helping take pictures or give directions, ect.
Nothing like being away for a while, and for that all too brief moment, nothing else matters.

My DW refers to it as "being inside the Disney bubble." When we are on vacation there, we are immersed into Disney's storytelling. Very, very few outside intrusions. It is the perfect place to reconnect with your family.
Another reason is the varied entertainment. We can spend 10 days there and not feel as though we're repeating the same experiences over and over again. If you've been to other destinations, after two or three days, you begin to feel as though you've seen EVERYTHING that place has to offer. That never happens in WDW.

I couldn't have said it any better! And when my family is immersed in the magic of WDW, we just seem to reconnect as a family! Life is Good!

It brings back memories of my childhood and all the great memories I had with my family. I used to watch all the Disney movies with my family (still do ) as a small kid and then when I was brought to Disney World I was completey imersed in the magic of those stories I loved. Its very magical and mad me feel as if the worries I have now just kinda melt away. Plus its just lots of fun. :mickey
