I Feel Like A Kid Again

[Figgy1]

It's great that adults can be kids again at Disney! I think it's funny when you see adults wearing Mickey ears around the parks, and it's accepted by everyone there as "normal" behavior!

A most magical welcome to the wdwmagic family

I act the most like a kid in its tough to be a bug because it makes me scream and cry.


On a serious note, I really feel like a kid when im in the stores. I end up buying stuffed animals and silly things. When I get home and back to reality I ask myself why. Why do I buy silly things I am to old to ever use? I guess I momentarily forget im 21 and I dont play with barbies and I cant wear a tiara to work. Lets just say, my future daughter will have awesome hand me downs in a box waiting for her.

You need a new job . I always wear a tiara to work.
And to @figmentfan423 I am never going to grow up.Not having any wee bairns (ask @real mad hatter ) of my own i will always be young.People with children go from Mum (or Mom) or dad to Gran or Gramps.However being an uncle never changes so I officially am never growing up

Riding any of the classics. Pirates of Caribbean scene where the cannonballs are "splashing" on either side of the boat because I remember my grandpa telling me that they were real. Or riding Dumbo. Riding the RailRoad brings me back to when I was 4. Yes 4 I remember parts of that trip. Not much but parts. well anyway. I remember riding the Railroad with my grandma who completely forgot what land we entered the train on and tried getting us to exit too early. I had to convince her that we had one more stop to meet up with the rest of the family. Country Bear Jamboree brings me back as well. I love haunted mansion but do not remember much of it from my earlier trips. Oh and walking by that darned winnie the pooh ride brings back great memories of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Just stay away from the kiddie pools, guys.

One of the reasons I love Disney so much is I don't have to act like an adult for a while. All I do is wish upon a star and it seems anything is possible. Do you ever feel younger than your age while there? And what magical place makes you feel the youngest?

What I like the most is that when I go to Disney I just forget about it all...no worries, no stress. Last year I bought the meal plan and I truly had no worries...it was a breeze! I wrote myself a letter after the trip to see if I could get back to being the self I was while there...I laughed...real laughter when I was there. That doesn't happen often. :-/

MK is like my energy drug and feel good drug. I can go through that park without getting tired. I could run in the park which I have, at home I'm lucky if I could run 10 feet. It just brings out this high energy person in me, that I can't even explain to people. My DH laughs because he can't keep up with me and he is very active everyday.

What other place can you wear Mickey ears and it's normal? I like seeing kids of all ages wearing the Disney ears, hats, and shirts. It's nice you can let loose and not have people judge you and give you funny looks. When I rode that Dinosaur ride at AK, I was with a car full of kids who started screaming right away. At first I was annoyed. Then, I just joined in and we had so much fun. One of the kids came up to me later in the day and said "hello" and gave me a big smile. I totally acted like a kid on that ride. I bought a stuffed Minnie Mouse too.

My love is Epcot, but Magic Kingdom makes me feel younger...which maybe makes me feel the age I look!!

 

[popcenturylover]

Definitely, MK for me! I feel like I'm 8 yrs old again whenever I walk down Main Street & see the castle!

on the trips i take with my granddaughter we argue over who has to be the grown up...i refuse when i'm wearing my mickey shirt and tiara at disney. last trip she was carrying a small backpack with her super important stuff...autograph book, change purse for pressed pennies, and her snack so i slipped our room keys/tickets, my id, and a credit card into her bag. she was so mad because i'd found a way to make her be the grown up lol.

An infinite number of "likes" for you my Dear.

Main Street does it every time! Walking thru the turnstiles I can't wait to cross the threshold of the train station! Heart pumping, feet moving faster than my mind and my mind racing faster than my mouth and then...there it is...Beautiful Main Street USA a few steps in and catch a glimpse of the Castle. Breathtakingly beautiful. At the age of 40 my heart still sinks the same way it did when I was 6. Every time I visit, it's like the first time.

The WHOLE HM ride makes me feel like a kid. My Wife and I will sit forward in our seats so we can take EVERYTHING in.
Being on ST because it always reminds me of when I was 9 and saw SW in the theater in 1977 for the first time.
When I am on Peter Pan's Flight, I get this amazing "kid like" feeling when at that point in the ride you are looking down on the city of London as if you were high up in the sky. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
Being at Sci Fi Dine In because I grew up at the drive in where I would go with my parents all the time.
In reality EVERYTHING at Disney makes me feel like a kid to a certain point. Just being there is magic.

It starts for me the minute I go through the entrance gate off of I4. 35+ years of going to the world and the magic never gets old. Great thread!

In spirit and mind younger- but my body always reminds me I'm 36! LOL- just can't do the things I used to like spinning the silly out of myself on the Tea Cups!

ugh...i feel your pain lol...i found that one out the hard way.

Yes us older people do feel like kids when we are at WDW. The difference thou is youth can do the walking and running, and jumping, and bumping, etc... for the 8+ day vacation and not feel tired and sore for a month afterwards. Here is a sign that you are getting older....
You go to sleep and when you wake up you have a bruise or bruises that were not there when you went to sleep.

Why not?

Magic Kingdom does it for me...of course after about 3 days at the parks parts of me start feeling a lot older lol but that's what places like the pool bars and la cava are for .

AMEN!!!! AMEN!!!
