I'll ride them even if I'm not with DS. I think you'll find there are plenty of adults riding these rides without children. don't even give it a second thought.

Hey, WDW is for kids of all ages! We took our son on the Poo ride when he was four but I wouldn't ride it again. I would, however, do the Peter Pan and Snow White ride again and would do so if I were alone and I'm 45.

There's no better answer than that!

That is awesome. So if anyone is at MK on Sept. 18th and sees a lady doing this to some poor man you know it's me!!

We definitely do all those rides - even before the kiddos - we love them!! DH went on Peter Pan's Flight for the first time at 32 (despite having been to WDW many times before) and it's his new favorite ride.

When walking by The Voyage of the Little Mermaid show at Disney Studios, my parents had another couple stop them and tell them to go see it b/c it was a great show. They didn't want my parents to miss out on it in case they thought it was only for little kids. I think a lot of the shows are like that, great for everyone!!

Enjoy!

Age is totally relative at WDW. I still love a lot of those "cheesy" rides

Have you not seen that commercial with the woman and her daughter, they ride Thunder Mt and come out of a tunnel and the woman is now 12 years old, enjoying the Tea Cups, Small World, ect.

Just remember it don't matter if your 30, 40, 60, 80 years old, the moment you step onto Disney property, you are 12 years old again.

I don't think there is such a thing as "too old at WDW"! And, I don't think of any of the rides/attractions at WDW as cheesy either - they were made with families in mind and to be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of age!

Mickey's Philharmagic - INCREDIBLE! Do not miss it, IMO.

I had no idea I would get this many responses on this. Holy Cow!! I really think Disney is the only place in the World where you are free to act 12 again, no matter how old you are!! So my hubby better be ready to act silly and carefree!! I'm going to buy him some mouse ears as soon as we get to the MK and make him wear them all day long!!

Don't miss Philarmagic. It is pure Disney Magic. Also, Peter Pan is a great ride but use Fast Pass. Not worth the 1 hour standby wait for 90 second ride.

Philharmagic was my mom's favorite new thing and my dad loved it (and if there's anyone who's going to call out cheesey at Disney it'd be him... though he wants to go back in a big way lol)
