No one is EVER to 'old' for disney.
My dad and I both agree that as we have gotten older, our desire to go to WDW (or any disney property) has grown. we are adults every day of our lives, it is nice to have a week or two where we are kids again.
When I am in Disney, I don't have to worry about driving, making dinner, making the bed, and if I bring enough clothing, I don't have to worry about the laundry (though in our DVC 2 bedrooms, we have the option). I know that the quality of food, entertainment, and sleep will be very good, and the pool will always be warm and relaxing. I know that in every single area of Disney, some of the top people in the world are there to make my vacation amazing.
So ask your mom again, why it is she is too old? Is it the great service? or the happy atomsphere? or the fun rides? or does she not want to enjoy a child-like state of mind for a few days?
I for one will still travel thoughout this great land and world of ours. I make several trips a year between Chicago, St. Louis, and Indy, and I will continue to travel to see family and friends in Houston, New Jersey, Georgia, and Seattle. I am even in the works with my husband to plan a trip around Europe for three weeks.
But on all of these trips, I will be searching out "disney-esque" places, themed resteraunts, and entertainment worthy of a disney park. On my trip to Europe, we will be stopping for two days at Disneyland Paris, and our trip to California has 4 days in Disneyland.
I don't think I will EVER hear my parents utter those horrible words "we are to old..." My parents were the ones who last summer decided to extend a 4 day trip to Georgia to see family to an additional 4 days in disney (we were SO close to WDW, why not go!). They are the ones who have planned every single trip (nearly 15) for the family. And I think my dad is already mentally planning a trip with the first grandkid, though that is several years away.
And Dad always says, "Now it's a vacation" when we first step in to MK. MK was a stop in 1973 on my parents honeymoon. MK was my first vacation destination in Nov of 1981 (I was 5 months old). MK was my sisters first vacation destination in 1983 (she was a year old), and MK is where I saw my first fireworks show, my first parade, and when I fell in love with Mickey Mouse. My sister's first rollercoaster was Space Mountain. The list goes on. So why would we not go back to where all of those memories are?!
Ok, I am done with my little rant.
He's like how about we go to Hawaii, Japan, France, etc...
I must have been adopted.
If she doesn't like WDW on her own then that's up to her, but to hear that a grown woman is worried about what everyone else thinks about somehting as simple as this is a little depressing.
