Disney Tips For The Young At Heart
There are tons of blogs, videos, and other sites that cover Disney vacations for parents with kids, Disney adults, Going Solo, etc. You name it there is a site for it. However, I have spent countless hours reading, searching, and watching, but have yet to find a site that caters to us older Disney fans. You know, those of us that are retired or close to it. Just wanting to slow down and have a hassle free, relaxing vacation. These posts are intended to fill the gap.
Here among other things, you will find posts that cover our strategy to just go with the flow, like Crush from Finding Nemo. Crush is a sea turtle that just goes with the current and does not fight it. He does not stress or fret and yet gets to where he is going. He is happy, relaxed, enjoying life and I bet will live longer for it. Grandma and I developed this strategy to enjoy our golden years at the parks. My Dear Daughter and her family also use Crushing It . It works very well for them with young children. The whole family is happier when there is less stress!

How to get started.
In my old eyes, a vacation is supposed to be relaxing and not an anxiety inducing mad house. The point of going somewhere is to relax, recharge, and to see/do stuff you don’t normally do. In the end you should be able to say. ‘Hey I’m Glad I did that’. Instead, I see folks come…
