I am 64 and still ride all the Disney coasters if my back is ok on that particular day. I care not a jot what people think.

The only time we have ever got embarrassed is when we walked past Winnie the Pooh and the queue was zero so we rode it.

We were both looking at each other and saying what are we doing on here

We come this way but once. Live life to the full it's not a trial run.

Age doesn't mean anything as long as your health allows you to keep going on them then go for it. I will still be riding them at that age hopefully. You can't grow up while your at Disney that's for sue!

Yes, that really is spot on.

I guess that's why we all go to Florida. It's the closest thing to a youth serum. I haven't been in three years, so I think I'm badly in need of a top up

My Grandad's 73 and is still charging straight for the big rides, including the ones that jolt you around.
He has no health complaints however, he's never really stopped being active and still does gardening, handywork, heavylifting etc. There's no reason you'll get "too old" along as you are keeping active and healthy!

My DH will be 60 when we are there this year and he still loves all the big rides. Age is just a number- go and enjoy!

I'm not quite as old as some others on here but the only time I have been embarrassed was queuing up with DD 14 for Dumbo at DLP. She really wanted to do it "for old times sake" so I agreed to do it.

In the end I couldn't care less how old we both were and just enjoyed it.

We both ride the coasters although I seem to have now got a limit of about 5 rides a day before my head and stomach scream "enough". I hope the limit doesn't come down any further.

Your never too old. My father in law 81 recently put the young family members to shame by going on a water ride in Rhodes called the washing machine which ended in him dropping into a 12 foot deep pool after being put thru the rinser( his own words) followed by a 40 minute football match in 30 degrees.
