Oldies But Goodies – Should We TACKLE A Theme Park?
What do you think my fellow Oldies? Should we take an aggressive stance and TACKLE every theme park we visit or should we take another approach? As I have gotten older (alas, an unavoidable consequence of being born) I have developed a different approach toward everything I do – age
Oldies But Goodies – Should Seniors Use Detailed Touring Plans?

When I first saw Mickey’s PhilharMagic, in 2003, I was less than impressed. As I look back, the reason became a little more apparent. It was the last day of our visit, we were both tired, and I had been lugging my 330+ pound body around in hot and humid

The Best Thing I Love About Disney…The 50’s Prime Time Cafe Why do I love The 50’s Prime Time Cafe at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? The food is good solid comfort food just like Mom used to make (if she was feeding a few thousand people a day). There is a
