Disney World Saved This Couple’s Marriage

Walt Disney World is a place of magic, hopes, and dreams for children, adults, and families alike. The Disney resort is home to four theme parks. Each Disney park is filled with rides and attractions—like Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain in Magic Kingdom or the Tower of Terror in Disney’s Hollywood Studios—making the Disney experience what it is for so many.

However, what is truly special about the parks is how they have a certain quality to them that transcends the every day—a Disney theme park is an escape in a sense, and in being so, it can provide an experience few other places in the world can.

This is true enough that one couple recently shared that Walt Disney World saved their marriage. Here’s the story.

Holly and Cody Cole (both 29) shared with Insider that they moved from Tennessee to Florida to be closer to the Central Florida Disney resort. Holly Cole has been visiting Walt Disney World since she was five years old, and it had been her dream to live near the magical destination one day.

After experiencing family conflict with her husband, Holly decided it was time to act on her lifelong dream and moved, bringing her family with her.

The couple left Nashville, Tennessee, to move over 700 miles to Auburndale, Florida, in December—less than an hour from the Disney resort. They now go to Walt Disney World around three times a week, and Holly firmly believes this has saved her marriage.

“A couple of days ago we went twice a day—we came home after going in the morning and then went back later for the fireworks. That’s normal for us,” Holly shared. Doing so has helped them avoid family conflict.

The Coles have a Pixie Dust pass. As Disney Fanatics would know, this pass costs $400 + tax and is available only to Florida residents, letting Passholders visit whenever they want. Holly Cole elaborated she had been a “huge” Disney fan since her younger years and was delighted to be able to make these memories with her young daughter as well.

Whatever else may be said about Walt Disney World, it’s certainly a place where magic is made.
