A Magical Getaway: Traveling to Disney with My Best Friend

Life has been a whirlwind lately. As moms, wife’s, full-time students (her completing her Bachelor’s in Business Admin & Law and myself finishing my Master’s in Law), full-time workers with additional part-time jobs, finding a moment to breathe seems almost impossible. But recently, my best friend, who also happens to be my coworker, and I decided to take a much-needed break and embark on a magical adventure to Disney.

It started with a random text LATE one night, I’m not sure which one of us was in tears this time from being completely overwhelmed and overstimulated (thanks ADHD). You see, both our spouses are gone for days at a time. Hers is a firefighter who pulls 24-48 shifts with overtime call. Mine took a job that requires traveling a few nights a week.


The Decision to Take a Break


Balancing work, studies, and motherhood can be overwhelming. The constant juggling act takes a toll on our mental health, leaving little room for self-care. Recognizing the need to recharge, we planned a trip to Disney—a place where we could escape reality, even if just for a few days. I had this tripped planned in 15 mins. I knew she didn’t care where we went or what hotel we stayed in. I left going to parks up to her.


The Journey Begins


Traveling with someone who understands your hectic lifestyle makes the experience even more relaxing. We both agreed to leave our campus cell phones at home and UNPLUG. My best friend and I have a unique bond; we share the same struggles and triumphs, both at work and at home. As we boarded the plane, excitement and relief washed over us. This trip was our chance to disconnect and not worry about what the kids wanted to do- it was what we wanted to do on our time.


Disney Magic


From the moment we entered the park, we felt a sense of wonder and joy. Disney has a way of making you feel like a kid again, and for us, it was the perfect antidote to our stress. We laughed, screamed on roller coasters, and indulged in our favorite treats. The sheer magic of Disney allowed us to forget our worries and embrace the present moment. We met princesses, people watched, swam, resort hopped, and watched fireworks.


Mental Health Benefits


This trip was more than just a vacation; it was a mental health retreat. The pressures of being moms, students, and professionals often leave us feeling drained. Being at Disney gave us the mental space to breathe, laugh, and enjoy life without the weight of our daily responsibilities. We realized the importance of taking breaks, not just for fun, but for our mental well-being. We preach mental health in our work, so it was that much more important for us to have the break. 


A Reminder for All


Our Disney trip was a reminder that taking time for ourselves is not selfish; it’s necessary. As moms, students, and professionals, we often prioritize everything else over our well-being. But to be our best selves for our families, our studies, and our jobs, we need to prioritize our mental health.


Traveling to Disney with my best friend  was a magical and transformative experience. It reminded us of the importance of self-care and the power of friendship. As we continue to juggle our many roles, we now have a cherished memory to look back on and a renewed commitment to take breaks and nurture our mental health and already trying to plan a couple trip ASAP!

So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, remember to take a step back and plan that getaway. Your mind and soul will thank you for it. 

Disney is not just for families with kids, it is also a place for adults, friends, and couples too.
