Ten Lies About Disney World

Fireworks light up Cinderella Castle at Disney World, as excited fans and Disney veterans gather to enjoy the nighttime spectacular.

1. It’s only for kids The biggest lie about Walt Disney World is that it’s only for kids. First of all, Walt Disney decided to venture into theme parks because he wanted to create a place where adults and kids could have fun together—so saying that Disney is only for kids is simply not true at all. And even if ...

Ten Lies About Disney World

Three Disney Dollars bills featuring Mickey Mouse and iconic Disney World attractions, perfect collectibles for park fans.

2. It has to be expensive Disney World can indeed be expensive, that in itself is not a lie. However Disney does not need to be expensive.

A guest displays a green Disney World FastPass+ wristband featuring the Mickey Mouse logo, with a vivid red backdrop.

4. Magic bands track your every move I can kind of understand why people might think this, but this is not true at all.

3. There’s nothing to eat but burgers and hot dogs This point is a common conception about theme parks in general that is inaccurately applied to Walt Disney World by virtue of people not doing any research before traveling somewhere on vacation.

5. Every attraction ends in a gift shop This point is something that’s overheard often by guests in Walt Disney World, which I just find amusing because most attractions actually do not end in gift shops.

Maleficent’s towering dragon animatronic breathes real fire as it dazzles guests in a Disney World parade beneath sunny skies.

6. You have to be on Main Street to see the parades I don’t know if this is as much of a lie as it is simply a desire to be on Main Street, but you absolutely do not need to be on Main Street to see the parade. If you don’t want to spend some serious time camping out ...

8. You can get free stuff if you ask This is another lie that I heard occasionally while on my college program. I assume that by “free stuff” people are usually referring to things like snacks or basic merchandise items.

7. It can be done in one or a few days This lie is interesting to me, and I can only assume it happens as a result of one of two reasons. One reason is that the people who promote this lie do absolutely no research—they do so little research that they think Walt Disney World is one park, and ...
