Serena Williams visits Walt Disney World with family

Published May 03, 2021

It's not always business with Serena Williams, although it may seem that way if you've ever visited the entire room in her home dedicated to her 73 WTA trophies.

When the 23-time Grand Slam champion isn't out on the court, she taps into her fun side with the help of Walt Disney World.

"You can't beat Disney World, it's just the best place to come—you can be a kid—you can be yourself—you can just have an amazing time and you get to meet princesses," Serena said on a visit to the Parks in 2016.

Over the weekend, Serena took a break in her clay-court training to visit Disney World in Orlando with her daughter Olympia and husband Alexis. During her visit she made time to share some of her favorite rides, Disney characters and treats she likes to snack on at the Park in a one-minute video with Disney.

What's next for Serena? The 39-year-old hasn't competed since February's Australian Open and pulled out of the 1000-level event in Miami due to pain from an oral surgery she had just before the tournament commenced. When and where she will make her clay-court debut is also uncertain, but just a few days ago, coach Patrick Mouratoglou mentioned that he expects her to play Rome ahead of Roland Garros.
