I'm 56 years young and I usually go to WDW by myself. The way I figure it, when I pass through the turnstiles I turn back into a kid again (at least I feel like one) so I ride all the rides. No one's ever looked at me funny (that I noticed anyway) and the CMs are always great. And Mickey's Philarmagic is great - it's like being inside the music...

So ride 'em all and have a ball!!!

I love all the rides! A few times when the kids fell asleep in the strollers DH and I took turns riding some of the 'kiddie' rides alone while the other stayed with the kids sleeping. When they woke up - we rode them again! Philharmagic is one of our must-sees every trip

There are kiddie rides at WDW?

My excuse for riding them is that my son needs supervision...of course, he is 19...but still! If it sails, soars or circles, I'm on it with him.

Really, no one thinks its at all strange to see adults flying on Dumbo or bouncing in the honey pots. If you can't let go and bring out your inner child at WDW, then what's a Magic Kingdom for? Very few of the attractions at WDW are true kiddie rides; outside of the obvious thrillers like TOT or Space Mountain, most of them are intended for general audiences.

My personal favorite ride is Peter Pan; you can't beat sailing over London in a pirate ship. And my second favorite is, of course, POTC.

I LOVE the commercial where the mother and her daughter on BTMRR and the mom turns into a young girl again and it shows them on the tea cups and other rides. That's the way I feel!

Ride Them! Ride Them! Ride Them! Like everyone else says, it's Disney! This is the one place you can go and be a kid without people looking at you funny. Or, at least that is how I feel.

Mickey's Philharmagic is awesome IMO. I love it and usually see it twice while at MK. I love the sounds and feels you get throughout the show.... it really "brings it to life". I definitely would make this a must on my list of things to do.

Enjoy your trip!

Talking Adult-to-Child Transformation ritual

Do the following right before you enter the park:

Step 1) Look your DH in the eyes
Step 2) Wave your hands in the air, in front of his face, all crazy-like, and then...
Step 3) Say, "Poof! You're 8 years old again!".
Step 4) Grab his hand, walk into the park, and have a great time.

If at any time during the day the transformation seems to be wearing off, the magic can be recharged with either a Mickey ice cream bar or a ride on Space Mountain.

DH and I always did those rides before Ryan came along! Cheesy? Maybe. But the fact that you're already at Disney means that you are up for a fair amount of Cheesy!

My husband, daughter, and I just returned from DW last week - and there were tons of couples, of all ages, on ALL of the rides. Don't worry about something being too "kiddish". That kind of thing doesn't exist there
