Too old for Disney ???

[DOOM1001]

I'm 30 and I like Disney more now than ever, and I guarantee you when I'm 35 I'll like it more than I do today and so on.New parks, New rides,waterparks, Downtown Disney, new resorts, there's always something new or something around the corner for you to look forward to.I also love other parks like Universal, the Anheiser Busch parks, Cedar Point and other parks more geared to rollercoasters,they all offer something different, but there's no place anywhere on the planet like Disney!!!

[mrFDNY]

I have too agree,you can never be too old for DISNEY!!!!!!

 

[minkydog]

my kids still love to go to Disney. They are 11,13,and 19. DH & I are both 49. Our families think we are crazy, but we say they are the crazy ones

I think it all depends on the person.

My cousin took her DD every year when she was younger. Now at 14, she has other interests, plus other favorite vacation spots.

At one time they were really into Disney. Even had a whole Disney room her DH made and the "Been there, done that going back license plate" . They went with us in 2002 when my DS was 4 and cousin's DD was 10. We had so much fun, it was our best trip to WDW so far and she says the same. But I guess some peoples interests change.

She did say when I seen her on Saturday that her DD wanted to go back again. I now have a 2 yo DD and DS is now 8, so they want to see DD in WDW. My cousin and her DH are her Godparents. And cousins DD is excited about going. She has to be careful when she can go now that her DD is in high school. But she said definetly they'll go with us next year.

Too old for Disney?!! You're never too old for Disney! I'm 36 years old and I can't wait to go. Moreover, I'm going with my 31 year old sister, my 62 year old mother, and her 40-something best friend. We are all counting the days until September 16th (124 days to go!!). And every response I've gotten from all my friends is that they want to go too!

I think you may need new friends.

Listen carefully:

You are never too old to feel the Disney Magic.

God willing, if I live to be near 100 and if I have the health and means to get to WDW, then I'll be there.

I look around and see lots of folks older than me (Im 41) enjoying themselves at WDW and hope that I still do in my 70s, 80s, 90s. As for your girls, tell them to follow their hearts and not what others say or think they see. For the life of me I dont understand why people hate to see others happy. WDW was created for the very intention of allowing families to play together. That was Walts dream when he built Disneyland.
I think too that if your girls grew up with WDW trips it makes it less "childish" for them. Lets face it, there is more for adults to do in WDW than there is for kids.

On a more practical note--and something you might use as an answer to the next person who says something so silly--how could your kids be too old if Disney is the one of the top destinations for high school senior trips in the southeast? It's the thing that seniors look forward to all year long, and I clearly remember getting irritated at classmates who would only talk about which rides they were going to go on as it got closer to the time.

AMEN ! That's one of the best things about Disney, we all love it and thoroughly enjoy spending our time together. As our DD's get older, the time seems even more precious. I'm sure that this will be a family tradition for us, no matter how old my kids are !

I'm 30, and it's the only place I'll go for vacation.

I've got a 12 year old nephew (one of BB twins) who is at the 'Universal the park to go to' stage. But then he's the type who has a huge insecurity complex and always wants to look 'cool' to the other kids. His brother is much more easy going about stuff. Last night at dinner their mother asked them if they wanted to go to MNNSHP and, of course, he replied he wants to go to Universal Fright Nights (or whatever they call it.) It was pointed out to him the WDW was on the table and Universal was not. The correct answers were, 'yes, I'd like to go.' or 'No, I would not like to go.' WDW was looking pretty good it turns out.

Never to old for Disney, its a family gathering. We took our two children at early ages, and we are still going. Now both of them are married with kids and they too are taking their kids to Disney. And also, the Dumbo ride, pop pop has been on that ride so so many times, I feel apart of the ride. Its enjoyed everytime we go. Now I go on the ride when we are without the grandkids. Love Disney

I think part of people's thinking comes from the "newish" Universal advertising that shows kids about age 10 saying disparaging things about princesses and such. Have you seen those ads? The one where someone threatens to "hurl?" It's part of the current advertising about kids staying free at Universal.

My teen DSs just loved our vacation (characters and all! ) last Thanksgiving and definitely plan on going back!

A note from the dark side... DS17 says he's "disneyed out." He says no one goes as often as we do. While he did choose DCL over RCCL for a graduation trip, he also picked Universal after the cruise rather than Disney World. He even stayed at the condo in Feb rather than return with us to the parks for night shows and fireworks. Maybe it's just a phase... hmmmm.

DH and I will be going back for the sixth time in seven years in November! DH is 57 and I am 53! He was 27 and I was 23 the first time we went to the Magic Kingdom. I hope we are able to go there every year until we are no longer able to walk ! On second thought, maybe we can get our children to push us around the parks then!!

I do have to share a story when my the 13 yo Dstep-d was just too cool. She didn't want to ride anything and just kept saying "can we go home now?" She pretty much ruined the trip for me... very good at ruining family events (like my wedding )

Anyway, she's 20 now, and on her own and wishes she could come with us.

Never I Mean Never Too Old For Disney

 

[santonucci]

I could understand "Disney-ed out", but then you just go to DisneyLand instead of WDW...

A weird phenomenon- I have been Disney-ed out in the past (3 trips, 2 conferences in a year), but I get the "shakes" when I don't have a trip on the radar. Even though I've been on every ride umpteen times, I still need to KNOW the next time I will go on them again. I don't have that feeling with other theme parks...

You're never too old to enjoy Disney- as my family grows up, we ALL get to experience new thing, whether it's DD5's first ride on Space Mountain in Aug, or DS8 1st time down Summit Plummet, or me WATCHING THEM- Disney is always changing.

I know 40 isn't too old for WDW...
