Old Ladies & Minnie Ears

[Simba’s Mom]

I say this in complete seriousness- if the family is embarrassed at you having fun, then they need to grow up.

Thanks so much-I'm going to quote you!
When we were in Animal Kingdom and I went on Triceratops Spin. When DH and DS found me, and I waved from my "baby dinosaur", they shrunk their heads in embarrassment (who's that strange woman waving at us?)

I believe there is a formula for this:

∫sinh^(n) xcosh^(mx) dx = (((sinh^(n−1)xcosh^(m+1)x )/(n+m)) −((n−1)/(n+m)))(∫sinh^(n−2)xcosh^(m) xdx

Where x=your age.

I embarrass DS all the time when I'm at WDW. I'm there to have fun and that includes all manners of crazy nonsence. I dont care who sees me, whose around me, or what they think... cause they dont know me, never will meet me again and thats unfortunate for them.
Go ahead and wear all the silly hats & ears you want to. We only live once and that life is meant to be enjoyed.

What is the appropriate age limit to be wearing artsy Minnie Ears in the parks? Asking for a friend in her 50’s

I must say, when you said "old ladies" I was expecting you to say 80s or 90s.

Now I have to go break the news to my 53 year old mother that she's old now...

My mother is 90 now and still goes on every trip with us.

Thanks all
I will pack my fancy ears after all. I’ve never been to Disney World, but I’d purchased a couple sets of fancy ears at the onset of our planning a couple years ago. I didn't want to look ridiculous and embarrass our family we are going with. We leave this Sunday, and we are complete Disney novices, but we’re going with DVC members so I’m sure we will be ok. I’ll wear the ears and see how that goes. Thanks again everyone

Have a great visit and be a kid. Enjoy your minnie ears, get a mickey caramel apple and show that beautiful smile!!! Its one of the few places in the world where everyone should be a kid. Im 44 and everytime i see the castle im 7 years old again. Come back and tell us about your trip

My great grandmother went to Vegas until the year she died. She was 95. She outwalked everyone.

Hey, it is a VACATION! You are entitled to embarrass your family all you want, especially if they are teenagers. Just ask my family.
If any of them are teenagers you are going to embarrass them anyway so why not ENJOY doing it!

It is written in the "How to be a parent" handbook that it is the duty of all parents and grandparents to embarrass the hell out of their children and grandchildren. It starts at a very young age (somewhere around the the time they achieved the ripe old age of 12) and continues until we get planted. It's like a Fast Pass to Heaven. You get to heaven and St. Peter asks you if you ever embarrassed your family. If the answer is continuously for all their lives, you get a suite with cable HBO.

You will completely blend in. Have a great trip!

Update: I was whacked with a towel for this.

I guess I'm an old man now, never felt so, but I'm just shy of 50 and my GF is just over 50. Wish WDW offered some sort of senior discount.

I'm older than Disneyland. I wear Ears, occasionally, as the band version gives me a headache after an hour or two. While I don't wear them all the time, I certainly buy them. I've got over 100 Ears. And almost as many magicbands. Think I might be addicted.

Disney is really the only place you can wear your Minnie ears and gear and not look weird, so "let your freak flag fly" as the kids say today!

 

[Daddyoh]

I'll be 68 in two days I will NEVER GIVE UP MINE ! so take it from there.

 

[Clare Ward-Jenkins]

I wear my ears around the house when I'm not at Disney. I'm 60. I love it when the Jehovah's Witnesses come to the door.

 

[jloucks]

It's no weirder than wearing a Halloween costume on Halloween, dressing up at a comic con, or donning a StarTrek uniform at a StarTrek convention.

Emphasis on "no" weirder, as in, less weird.

I may have to try this, and talk in my Mickey voice.

Heck me and my Mom love our ears at the parks. She is only 40 but she acts like a teen kid just like me when we are all at Disney. My dad is a bit more conservative with just wearing his Disney hats.

I’m an old lady of 52 and I get a new set of ears for every trip.

@Tomi-Rocket you are definitely not old and I bet you rock those Mickey Ears.
