Disney World

My dad and sister in the Magic Kingdom in 2006

A fictional interview with Mickey Mouse


Me: Thank you for the interview Mickey. I have been to Disney World many times. I have always felt the magic in the air. What do you think makes Disney so magical?

Mickey: I agree that it is very magical at Disney. I think the staff makes the magic here. They are so kind to everyone. They are really different from other hotel and amusement park’s staff.

Me: The staff at Disney is very kind. I like all of the parks. In particular, I like how realistic the countries in Animal Kingdom are. You really feel like you are walking into Africa or Kenya. What is your favorite park? How does it make you feel?

Mickey: My favorite park is the magic kingdom. I love the rides there and the magic behind every corner. It makes me feel special and excited. 

Me: I also like the magic kingdom and the magic surrounding it. There are many rides in all four parks of Disney World. I enjoy the river rapids in Animal Kingdom, Planet Earth in Epcot, and many other rides in Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom. What is your favorite ride or rides?

Mickey: Hmm… This is hard to answer. I like so many rides it is so hard to pick a favorite. If I had to pick one I would probably say… All of the rides that are about me. I know that isn’t one but I just can’t decide. I enjoy seeing myself in a ride.

Me: You must like a lot of rides because you are a part of a lot of them. Ok, one last question. Disney World is sometimes thought of a kid’s only place. I do not agree I think Disney is magical for all ages. My aunt and uncle even recently got married there. Do you think Disney is for kids only?

Mickey: Absolutely not. There is something at Disney for every age. Part of the magic of Disney is that you can be any age to experience it. You can be a newborn or senior citizen and still feel the magic in the air.

Me: Again, thank you so much for the interview. I hope to visit Disney again sometime soon.

Mickey: You’re welcome! See you real soon.
