Too old?? NEVER! I started off my love for Disney when I was 2 years old, living in Santa Monica with my mom and going to DL. My love continues at age 42, now myself and my sons go all the time, since we live so close to WDW. I've been trying to get my DH on board. He did do a week long vacation last year and enjoyed it mainly because of the boys. But he doesn't get the hype either.
And I went to WDW for years by myself or with "adult" friends before having children!
And I still go by myself from time to time!
Disney keeps me young at heart!

....I was 43 when I first got to go to WDW ...and am so sorry that I had not had the time or means to do so before that...because I'm and Disney-addict. My middle child ...daughter ....just turned 24 .....2 days ago ...and is already looking forward to this coming trip in August.
...the only one I need to convince now is my 28 yr old son ...who holds a 'semi-grudge' that we didn't take him to WDW when he was "young" ...and has therefore never gone. But ...we're working on him ...and hold out hope that he'll come along this August with the rest of the family.

Too old for Disney is like saying you're too old for fun! My first visit was during college in 1973; at the time, MK only. Fast forward 27 years and my DW and I are there for the first time with our 8yo son - I've been hooked ever since! Now if I can just convince my DW, maybe a retirement celebration in 2015!! You can't just not love the magic!

In the eyes of many I probably am too old for Disney. But, as it turns out, I JUST DON'T CARE!
"But DisneyDINK, how can you say that?"
Well, I love Intercot, but there ARE those, even here, who believe that WDW is for families on vacation. I've read threads here a couple of times where people said exactly that. Yeah, there was a bit of a backlash, but somebody said it. I think most Intercotees are friendly, reasonably open-minded people and that's why I love to read and post here. Furthermore, I agree that the family with kids, say, under 18 is the most important demographic to the continued success of WDW. If you have questions about the parks the official Disney sites direct you to "The Moms Panel"; that's not an accident.
The most recent sponsor of Intercot is called "Strollers and Groceries". There is nothing wrong with them; they even sell beer now. But still, they are still called "Strollers and Groceries". I mean no disrespect to this Intercot sponsor, but it does kind of send a message.
I don't think I am too old for WDW, but there definately people out there who do. That's OK. I'll still keep going and have a good time. Like some of the PPs I am having a better time at WDW now than I did 10 years ago.

It is entirely possible to be too old but like many things its not the number, its the state of mind.
When confronted by nay-sayers i ask them what they do on vacation. I usually get a fair amount of surprise when people find out just how much there is to do beyond rides and lines.
So far only the skiers have me beat!

Several of my grandkids were too old for Disney in their late teens. Thankfully, as they've gotten into their 20s, they're not so old any more.

Yes, exactly. As I have gotten older (and wiser?), it's almost just as fun to take in the sights and details, along with other entertainment options, WDW has to offer than just the rides and lines.

TOO OLD... NEVER!
If I didn't have a Disney trip to plan and count on every two years (Wish it could be every year BUT the DW will not let that happen) I think I would violent withdrawals.

I'm 51 and I know for a fact I'm not too old! I'm already planning for my trip next in 2014.
Do you think any one is too old for Disney?

A year and a half ago I went to Disney World with my 73 and 77-year old parents. My77-year-old Dad hadn't been since the late 70s/early80s and was SO eager to return. They had a blast!!! It was a wonderful family vacation.
