Every Sitcom In The '90s Went To Disney World

Even if it didn’t make much sense plot-wise, families on sitcoms ALWAYS went to Disney parks.

Episode: “The House Meets the Mouse (Part 1 & 2)” (1993)

Why they went: Jesse's band, the Rippers, gets a gig at Walt Disney World on his anniversary. He and his wife, Becky, plan to have a second honeymoon but realize they would miss the kids too much, so they take them too. Joey, who co-hosts a radio station with Jesse, gets permission from the station to take the show to Florida. Danny's morning talk show, Wake Up, San Francisco, is in reruns and, coincidentally, D.J., Steph, Michelle, and Kimmy (whose parents will pay for any vacation as long as it's not with them) all have school vacation. Plus, Danny's long-distance girlfriend, Vicky, flies down. So the only one left behind is D.J.'s boyfriend, Steve.

Episode: ““Disney World” (1998)

Why they went: Sabrina's science class goes on a field trip to Disney's brand-new Animal Kingdom.

Roseanne

Episode: “We're Going to Disney World” and “Disney World War II” (1996)

Why they went: Dan and Roseanne decide to invite the entire family on a vacation to Disney World (which doesn’t make much sense since they were also broke).

In 1997, The New York Times summed it up best:

"...ABC shows sent their characters to Disney World for an episode (or two), and painted the park as something close to heaven. Not only were there no 45-minute lines for rides or overcrowded restaurants, but everyone's problems were solved there. A theme park, it seems, is the place to find true love, rekindle it or teach the children vital moral lessons they apparently never bothered to learn at home."
