Disney Senior Citizens

[GrammyJudy]

Are there other Disney Senior Citizens out there that love WDW? One of my hobby is planning Disney trips. Usually some of the family tags along and that is great. We are going Jan 29-FEb 5 at POR this time. MY 9 yr odl DGS is as excited as I am. MY DH and DD just go along with it I think but they love it there too. Would love to hear what other oldies think

[grumpyanddonald]

Yep Senior citizen and a Disney lover. Going to spend our 50th wedding anniversary there. Only 29 more days till we leave. Going to be fun.:yay::banana::banana::banana::banana:

[emacek]

not quite seniors but...this year I'm spending my husband's 60th, our 20th wedding anniversary at WDW.

Next year, my mom and I will celebrate our 50th anniversary (i.e. my 50th birthday!) at WDW as well.

Just retired from airline. Been going to WDW since it opened. With family, then with kids only, now solo some. I went solo in June and will be there Oct. 1st. Daughter is leaving Dkids and DH home, she is running the Wine & Dine Half Relay. :cheer2: We are going to MNSSHP. Did MVMCP last year, what fun. Just because we're seniors does not mean we are slowing down.party:

ok, this is very weird. I am 52 and have a child I take to Disney. I am on SSDI so qualify for all things seniour.

not quite a senior, but getting there.
DD took me to CRT for breakfast last winter for my 60th birthday.
Rode Tower of Terror on my 50th birthday for the 1st time.

[skelooch]

I'm a senior Disney Lover, I make 5-6 trips a year.
I'm a DVC member since 2002 at BCV and stay there or OKW most of the time.

While I like going solo, I really enjoy the times with my 2 sons and their families.
My 5 Granddaughters, ages 7 to 14 have been to WDW at least 10 times and all love Disney as much as I do. And each will have a part of it for the next 30+ years.

When I go alone I enjoy playing golf, going to the parks, sampling different restaurants on and off site, and just hanging out at the resorts.
I too love planning all the trips and generally have at least 3 or 4 in the works at any given time.

It would be great to meet up with other seniors that just love Disney.

[GrammyJudy]

Would love to plan a senior Dis Meet sometime! This year I will be celebrating my 65th birthday at Chef Mickey. My college room mate was just in WDW for what she called her "medicare card birthday" too.

:banana:Im 60 I love disney and try to go 2-3 times a year:cool1:

[DebºoºS]

Just came back from celebrating my 60th in WDW:dance3:The past few years I was fortunate enough to go on about every 3 months. Can't get enough of the magic:laughing:

[friends with mickey]

We will be celebrating my 56th birthday with mickey and friends. First a 3 night DCL cruise on which I will turn 56 and then 5 days at WDW for Food and Wine, (and more wine) festival. My 64 year old sister and her husband will be meeting us at WDW to help keep the party going. We still go for the rides and adventures, but always enjoy the TS restuarants as well. Our DVC membership continues until 2057, so I plan on turning 100 at Disney! Lots of memories yet to be made before that milestone.
Disney should have Mature Adults Days at the parks, for seniors to be MAD at Disney in a good way. Until then a DIS 55+ meet would be enjoyable.

[shoes99]

We are Disney seniors too. Still planning our 3rd and 4th trip for 2010 and
my 65th birthday trip on the Disney Dream for April 10, 2011..

[GrammyJudy]

I will have my 65th birthday dinner at Chef Mickeys with my family and my favorite characters:cool1:My college roommaTE just had her 65th on an Illuminations Cruise so we are all in this together...the young at heart!!!:banana:

[mecllap]

65 here and totally enjoyed my nostalgia trip to DL/CA this past Jan (solo); go to WDW now as an NC resident. Last year (age 64) finally bought some DVC points. Earlier this evening was talking with DD (age 40) about possibly going next summer, and she was wondering about our Disney addiction, because we've had some miserable days there with heat, crowds, etc. but always love going back. It's been really hot here in western NC this year and I don't have whole house AC, because I've never needed it before, so I'm figuring I can take a summer break in LBV/WDW and at least have AC next year!

Part of the reason I bought the DVC points was that I can go there and just enjoy being in the resort and use the busses if I can't keep up with DD and DGS at the parks as I get older and slower. I used to be the one with the stamina, but not so much any more, altho I do still enjoy going to Disney. DD was asking why since it seems kind of unquantifiable (there are lots of negatives -- high cost, not great food, weather issues, crowds and bad behavior, etc.) -- I think it's the imagination and creativity, as well as it being in our blood for so long. I never cease to be impressed by the creativity and intelligence of the parks' scenery and attractions (but we're not really thrill ride people, altho DGS is starting to be). And, so far, it still seems like a safe place to go, always important (given the huge number of visitors, bad incidents still seem to be really rare). And it's still a lot cleaner than some other amusement places (altho maybe a little slippage due to the economic shifts that are affecting us all).

I could list even more reasons not to be a Disney park fan, but I will always be one (and, yes, I know, my ashes can't be scattered there, darn!).

[scrappinDW]

I will be celebrating by 60th birthday (that is hard to write!!!) in September at WDW. My brother is celebrating his 50th the day before mine. His kids and grandkids will be going for the first time so we are all excited.
We are staying at Kidani Village which will be really special for us.

[newcomer52]

I was hooked on Disney at my first visit to DL in 1965. Didn't get back until 1980 and over the years have increased the visits. Coming up on my 16th visit to WDW with 3 to DL. Since I bought into DVC I try to go a least once a year. My 60th b-day is coming in a year so I will need to plan a special trip for that. I too think it would be fun to meet other 'life experienced', Disney lovers.

I am thrilled to find this forum. I am 63 years old and just love WDW. My husband and I became DVC members in 2000. I lost him in 2003 and thought that I would give up my DVC membership. A friend suggested that I wait. I am glad that I did. However, it is getting harder and harder to find people to travel to WDW because friends are involved with their mates and own families. As far as my children, due to the economy, they cannot afford to come to WDW that often. I have been thinking of solo but am afraid. My husband and I enjoyed WDW so much, I am concerned on how I would fare through all the memories. Has anyone experienced this?

Anyway, I just love reading TR. I will be checking in every day.

[mecllap]

5Mandys --I would encourage you to try a solo trip. Although I don't have the happy memories of going with a dear spouse, I think having those might add to your experience, albeit with some sadness at times. I have made several solo trips and really enjoy that time, with just being on my own schedule and doing things at my pace and as I want to. It's such a pretty and pleasant place (with occasional annoyances), and generally a safe environment, esp. if you stay at a DVC resort. You do have to cope with everything pretty much on your own, but most cast members, and other guests sometimes, are helpful. There are lots of hints and tips on the Solo travellers thread.

If you're uncomfortable eating alone (I had to learn to do that when I travelled for work), you can read, and it's a great time to write a journal. Several places you can share a table with other people and talk with them. You can chat with folks while waiting line, or not. It's also fun to chat with CM's, when they're in between whatever they're doing. And Photopass is great for a few photos of yourself in scenic spots.

Maybe try a short trip?

[skelooch]

Hi 5Mandys,
I lost my wife in 2002, We had plans of buying something in the Olando area so that our two sons and grandchildren enjoy WDW for years to come. Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on how I look at it) that didn't happen.
Shortly after I learned about DVC, and immediately realized it was the perfect thing for her to leave to her Grandchildren. I make sure that they go at least once a year. They will each have at least a week at WDW until 2042.

There is nothing to be afraid of going solo, remember it the happiest place on earth. I have been doing 2-3 solo trips a year, and now that I'm no longer working I hope to squeeze in at least one more.

I usually play golf and have met some real nice people doing so, I enjoy resort hopping, some feel uncomfortable about dining alone, I got over that pretty quick, what's great is I always get to choose the restaurant and what time I eat. I will also go to the parks a couple of times each trip, sometimes I will do a favorite ride or two, sometimes just sit on a bench and watch people. I never get bored. I'm not generally an outgoing person but I find it so much easier to talk to strangers at WDW, after all we're all there for the same reason, to have fun. Or sitting at a bar enoying your favorite beverage, it's amazing how fast you're involved in a conversation.

You need to just do it, you'll be surprised at how much you will enjoy yourself being able to do what you want when you want.

[5Mandys]

Thank you for the encouragement. I guess that I just need to do it! I will work on getting the courage. Thanks again.

[skelooch]

That's the spirit.
Maybe someday we'll be there at the same time, I would enjoy meeting other seniors who love Disney as much as I do.

[fly4free2]

I travel solo sometimes and I love it. I am on my own time to do whatever, and whenever I want. I lost my mate several years ago, and recently retired. I love traveling and don't mind doing it alone. If you don't know about dinning alone, well, take a book or I have taken my "Disney Passporter" with me and planned my next move. Before you know it, its time to get going My family and I started going to WDW when it opened. Its in my blood I guess. Going again in 38 days.

It would be a great time for any of us who can to get together sometime. I think we would have lots of laughs and good fun. Start thinking of a good time for you to go, we can start there. Are you still working and need to plan around that?

[MIGrandma]

We're not quite seniors but getting there. :goodvibes

I'm in the process of planning/researching a trip in January so DH and I will both be 53. Our last trip there together (I went a year or so ago with my Mom) was in '01 so it's been too long and I really, really want to go again with DH.

Mom was 71 when she and I went, she still loves the parks too.

iT WOULD BE FUN TO GET A GROUP OF SOLO SENIORS ALL THERE AT THE SAME TIME. where in Mass do you live? I grew up in North Reading and have family around there and a son in Northhampton

[skelooch]

I would be all for meet up of some kind, I'm just not good at planning those sort of things. But if someone could take the bull by the horns you can count me in.

Here's the dates I'll be at WDW if it helps in planning.
Sept 4-9, 2010 at BCV golfing trip with my son.
Nov 20-26, 2010 at BCV solo
Feb 12-18, 2011 at OKW solo so far
May 28- Jun 4, 2011 at BCV or OKW solo
Sept 3-9, 2011 at BVC or OKW solo
Nov 19-25, 2011 at BCV or OKW solo

Hoping something happens.

[ttester9612]

I'm not quite senior yet...just turn 54 on Aug 6th. Spent my birthday in Europe :woohoo: Next year I plan to celebrate my 55th in WDW. I lost my husband in 1999 and he loved Disney, it took a while to get the courage to go solo. But now that I have, I love it. I've met so many wonderful ppl from DisMeets, that I'm proud to call my friends. There is a group of us that have turned May and Oct into annual trips. It's great. Most of them are younger then me that they make me feel young. It's wonderful!

Hi all

Looks like eveyone is excited about getting together. I am still working on getting the courage to go solo but am planning on going to WDW in May with my daughter and her friend. It would be nice to plan a meetup then. Hopefully it would be my stepping stone to going solo. Have not set a date but due to work, I can make it after the 15th of May.

I live in Stoneham MA. 12 miles north of Boston and 2 towns south of N. Reading. Small world.

I do hope we can plan a meetup sometime in May.

[skelooch]

How about Memorial day week.

[5Mandys]

skeelooch,

Not to take over but that is an extremely busy time down at WDW. Would you or any one be interested in going before memorial weekend? Perhaps the week of the 15th or 22nd. If my plans go well, I will be down there for a full week. Please everyone think it over.

Hi again 5Mandys.

I have been going that week for years, and I don't find it all that busy. But you have to remember I'm not going to do commando style parks and rides, so it really doesn't matter to me if it's crowded or not. I'll be playing golf, visiting resorts, finding quiet pool bars to enjoy a cocktail or two, maybe a couple of hours at Typhoon Lagoon here and there, love the lazy river, I enjoy walking around World Showcase visiting the countries. I'll probably visit another park or two, if there's a ride or attraction I want to do and the wait is reasonable I'll do it. I've done them all many times so if I can't do something then it's no big deal. Sometimes I get an Ice cream and find a nice bench in the shade and watch people and their kids hurrying from place to place, kids crying, and think about how it was when I was in their place. My grandkids are 7-14 so we really don't have any temper tantrums any more, and it's the parents problem to deal with anyway.

Traveling solo to WDW is a whole different experience than being with family, (don't get me wrong I enjoy my family trips more than my solo trips) It is so stress free you don't have to worry about doing anything but what you want to do and when you want to do it. The only stress I get there is when I hit a bad golf shot. You don't have to worry about how crowded it is unless you're a ride junkie, I'm not. Getting to old for all the thrill rides anyway, Soaring is as thrilling as I need.

I don't currently have anything cast in concrete, have only made my reservation for BCV, no flights yet. There is nothing preventing me from changing my plans by a week or two. So let's see if there are any other older kids out there who would like to meet up.

Be Well

Not really considered a senior, was hoping to spend my 56th at Disney next May, but with free dining, we switched our ressies to the end of May/ begining of Jun instead of the begining of May. So now we will be celebrating my now 22 yr olds 23rd birthday. Bummed, I wanted to celebrate my b'day this year at DL, but that could not happen either.

Keep telling myself it will happen sooner or later.

we are driving and Hope to be there early..if we get there on time ,I would love to meet up

I finally cornered my daughter for our trip in May. We are planning on going to WDW on May 22nd and returning on the 28th. I haven't booked it yet but will be booking soon. As I said, hopefully this will be my stepping stone to g solo in the future. I am sure my daughter and her friend will be heading to the parks more often than me. I do hope some will be going down at the same time as I am. It would be fun to have a senior meet.

[CocosMeme]

DH is 64 and I am 61, and we LOVE Disneyworld. We have been with and without out kids and grandkids. Even though we love sharing the magic with them, our favorite trips are just the 2 of us - so much relaxing together time! I do get strange looks and comments sometimes from friends who just do not get it, but life is short. Do what you like! We bought DVC 3 years ago and have never regretted it. There is nothing like having my coffee on my balcony while watching giraffes and zebras graze at AKVillas

[scrappinDW]

I will be solo at WDW on Friday, Sept. 17th. 'The kids' are going to the beach, but I didn't want go, so I am doing the Inspiration: Through Walt's Eyes tour. I think I will then go to Animal Kingdom. I would love to meet with some seniors if anyone is available!!! Pam

[michellejed]

Senior is only a state of mind:rotfl2: I am a young 56 and LOVE all things Disney!!!

I usually travel with my Daughter and some times her friends, this September 18 to 26th, we will be joined by my Son, Daughter in-law, Grandson and Granddaughter for their first trip ever (grandkids) and it is a surprise:wizard:

I also join up with the Brits we met on the disboard back in 2007 and will see them for the 3rd time:banana: Can't wait:cloud9:

I love to people watch and and just go with the flow. I am a morning person and find it so relaxing to just enjoy the new morning with a good cup of coffee while at Disney.

On this next trip we are trying out 2 golf courses, both grands like to golf along with my Son, I am terrible but love it:rotfl2:

My sister and I usually take a cruise in the Spring, she is NOT a Disney person:scared1: so I try to do Disney in the Fall but my traveling Daughter will be going into the ARMY after this trip so my Fall trips may become solo.:sad2: Will Have to see.

Would be fun to meet some time.:thumbsup2

[armone]

Love to see more like us: seniors doing "adult Disney" by themselves (all of our children have paws) We are 63 & 65 and joined DVC three years ago to provide our retirement entertainment and never get tired of wandering around both DW and DL and enjoying the dining. A Disney Senior Center like someone mentioned would be a great idea.

[HGLightlyj]

I'm a SC that enjoys going to WDW solo. I seem to be the only one in my family that loves Disney? I'm a DVC member also and enjoy quick get away trips to WDW several times a year!

[Happy Goofy]

My husband and I are both retired and love Disney. We live in CT but have a winter house in FL about an hour from Disney. We will be in Fl from the beginning of Dec. till around April or May. We will be at Disney on Dec. 9 and 10 . We will see the CP in the 10th. We also have tickets for the MVMCP on Dec. 14. We often go to Disney for the day - not nesessarily to a park- and have dinner. If anyone is planning a meet we would love to join you.

[DisneyLady56]

Not quite a senior yet either (54) but my children are grown with their own families now. I have 5 grandchildren ages 15,10,9,8, and 3. The entire family has made the trip all together twice. Next year I will be going for 9 days. I am taking the oldest 2 grandchildren, then a couple of days later my DD and her husband and daughter will be arriving. Then my other daughter and her husband with 2 other grandchildren will be arriving half way thru the trip. I don't think I am ready to go solo quite yet. My husband passed away a little over a year ago. Would love to meet up with some other "seniors" to explore the parks with one day.

I know how you feel. It has been almost 7 years since I lost my husband and I have not gone solo yet. I did make ressie and will be going down from the 22nd until the 28th with my daughter and her friend. I am hoping that some of the seniors on the board will be down there at that time for a meetup. It would be a great start for me to try to go solo. So, if anyone wants to meetup let me know.

[5Mandys]

I guess I forgot to mention which month.:rotfl::rotfl: May 22nd to 28th.

Hi to Cocosmeme- I am also a MeME to three grandchildren. My husband and I are like you- we have been to Disney with first our daughters and then our grandchildren. Each of the grandchildren have spent their first Christmas at DW. We have a winter home about I hour from Disney and go there as often as we could- sometimes just for dinner at the Marketplace.

We will be there to see Whoopie Goldberg do the CL on Dec. 10- we are staying at Pop Century on the 9 and also on the 14 when we will go to MVMCP-

Anyone planning any meets then?

I wish I could join you. I will be at Pop Dec. 4th - 7th. Going to MVMCP on the 5th. I think I will plan to go to CLP on the 6th to see Ed Asner. I went last year and it was wonderful. Maybe another time we will be there at rhe same time.

We will be going to Disney in February 2011. We have been many times with kids, but this time it is just the wife and I. I will be 66 on our next visit. I have a standing agreement with my wife that I have to make at least one Disney trip a year. She doesn't enjoy WDW as much as I do, but goes along anyway. If only my feet didn't hurt so much I would enjoy it even more. I have always been fascinated with Disney and think it is the best vacation spot in the US.

Talking about your feet hurting. I have has two knee surgeries so walking is hard sometimes. I have rented a ECV from Buena Vista Scooters in the past. They will have it delivered to your hotel and also pick it up there when your finished. The reason I like renting off the property is so I can take it to my room each day and charge it up for the next day. Makes me a happy person

My husband and I both have some mobility problems. I had double knee replacements and my husband has some nerve problems in his legs. He rents a scooter from Walker Mobility and it is a life saver. I do not have to worry about him getting around. We can enjoy the WDW. We are going on the Disney Panama Canal cruise and at the end we are spending a few days at Disneyland. I already ordered a scooter for him. If you have walking problems don't hesitate get a scooter. They are really easy to use.
