 I hear this all the time, "Disney isn't a vacation spot unless you take your kids"! Well I hate to break it to you but they couldn't be more wrong! Disney is a great vacation spot no matter your age, married or not, kids or not! We have taken trips to Disney as a family, and my husband and I have taken trips just the two of us! Our favorite thing we have done so far when it is just the two of us is The Keys to the Kingdom Tour. It is a 5 hour in-depth tour of Magic Kingdom. This tour includes the fascinating history of Magic Kingdom and backstage access to legendary hidden areas!
