A Birthday Tribute to Our Friend, Ken!

Brenda — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:00:18 +0000

Disney lovers are a special breed of people. We speak a different language and we understand one another. We know the thrill of planning a trip, the anticipation of waiting for it, and the sheer joy of being home again. The Disney community is a tightly knit group. We have respect, regard and a genuine concern for each other. Our group at Chip & Company is one example of such a group of Disney lovers who truly enjoy sharing all {Read More}

Oldies But Goodies – Don’t Miss These Holiday Experiences

Ken — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 21:00:18 +0000

The holidays at Walt Disney World, as we all know, are extra special for everyone but there are some experiences that are especially appealing to us, the Oldies. There are four that I think we find especially pleasing and if any of you chronologically advanced folks out there haven’t seen them you might find it worth your while to schedule a Walt Disney World visit during the Christmas season. In reverse order they are: 4. – The Grand Floridian Lobby {Read More}

Oldies But Goodies…Date Night For Oldies

Ken — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 22:00:00 +0000

If you visit Walt Disney World as an Oldies couple, then every night is date night. More often than not though, we as Oldies, travel with an extended family group. One thing you can almost bet on is that your children will ask you to watch their children (your grandchildren of course) while they take a break and have a date night. Let them go and have fun because you understand how tired you were all the time taking care {Read More}

Oldies But Goodies…Minimizing The Cost Of Getting There

Ken — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 13:30:46 +0000

Vacationing at Walt Disney World is an expensive proposition and most of us (particularly us, frugal Oldies) generally look for whatever ways we can to minimize costs without impacting the fun. One way you can impact these costs, even in today’s expensive air travel market, is to look for the flights or other travel options that fit your needs best. There are many options, some of which are cheaper but may not meet your needs. Cheapest is not necessarily the {Read More}

Oldies But Goodies – When Should Seniors Visit Walt Disney World

Ken — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 14:30:59 +0000

There are lots of wonderful times for everyone including us Oldies to visit Walt Disney World. There are times, however, when we are unable to really choose the best time for ourselves. If you are traveling with a group that includes school age grandchildren the trip windows are limited by school commitments. If you are traveling with a group of adult family members the visit time may be determined by their job commitments, and if you are traveling with a {Read More}

Oldies But Goodies…Communication Wins The Day!!

Ken — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 13:30:36 +0000

A visit to Walt Disney World is almost always a wonderful adventure and experience. You can visit as an individual, a couple, a group of peers, or a multi-generational family group. As an individual, communication is not really an issue in that you just do what you want when you want and no one else is affected. As a peer group, you are likely visiting because of a common interest such as the Flower and Garden Festival or the Food {Read More}

Oldies But Goodies – How Old Is Too Old For Walt Disney World

Ken — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 13:30:41 +0000

Your age in years actually has very little to do with how old you are! Fellow Seniors, some people say you are as old as you feel and that does play a role. I say, you are as old as you act!! In the picture above, my wife and I don’t seem to be acting properly for a couple of seniors – who cares – we were having a good time with Mr. Goofy. When I get to Walt Disney {Read More}

Oldies But Goodies – Cirque du Soleil

Ken — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 13:30:19 +0000

Let’s face it fellow Seniors, we love to be entertained. We also love the chance to sit in a cool, shady area several times a day while touring Walt Disney World. Perhaps this explains the large numbers of folks with white hair, and alas in my case as with many others no hair in the audiences of attractions like the Festival of the Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Fantasmic!. We really do enjoy quality entertainment whether it be {Read More}

Oldies But Goodies – Victoria And Albert’s

Ken — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 15:30:53 +0000

Oldies But Goodies – Victoria And Albert’s As you approach this door you are about to treat yourself to my favorite Walt Disney World restaurant – Victoria and Albert’s (V&A’s) in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. I realize that as we Oldies become more “mature” we sometimes have a tendency to become a bit more frugal. I do recommend though, if Victoria and Albert’s falls within your budget do not miss an opportunity to dine there. It is the {Read More}

Ken — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 20:00:04 +0000

You have decided to go to Walt Disney World fellow Oldie but you need to find information so you know when to go, where to stay, and what is happening while you are there. Fear not, there is enough information available on the internet to make your head spin all the way around several times.

Oldies But Goodies – Special Dietary Needs For Seniors

Chip — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 00:00:53 +0000

The first thing I want to mention to my fellow Seniors is that there are thousands of people who visit Walt Disney World each week who have either food allergies or special dietary needs. These needs vary from the simple types like low fat or low sodium diets to serious life threatening food allergies to things like nuts and shellfish. If you have a special dietary need you are definitely not alone when dining at Walt Disney World. These needs {Read More}

Oldies But Goodies – Should Seniors Use Disney’s Magical Express?

Ken — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 18:00:16 +0000

One thing we value as Seniors above almost everything else is our independence. We have grown up in an era where we were required to depend on ourselves for almost everything. Unfortunately, this may lead to a feeling of reluctance to let others take total control of something that is personally very important – our luggage while flying. Certainly we trust the airlines (sometimes with mixed results) to get our luggage from point of departure to point of arrival but {Read More}

Oldies But Goodies – Planning Ideas For Seniors At Walt Disney World

Ken — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 12:19:45 +0000

When Seniors travel to Walt Disney World we go in different configurations. We travel with extended family, we travel with friends, and we travel by ourselves. I’m going to address primarily those folks who travel by themselves as “empty nesters” or those who have never had children. For hints on traveling with extended family and friends I would suggest you read a recent Chip and Co. article by Lisa entitled Visiting Walt Disney World with Extended Family and Friends. The {Read More}

Oldies But Goodies – “Best Of” Restaurants For Seniors At Walt Disney World

Ken — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:00:09 +0000

Opinions on restaurants, as we used to say in the 50’s and 60’s, are like Volkswagen bugs – everyone has one. Preferences in this area are very personal and are developed for many reasons. I mention that so you know that I don’t consider myself to be a total authority in this area but just someone who has experienced a majority of the restaurants at Walt Disney World and has very particular preferences. I feel that a lot of these {Read More}

Oldies But Goodies – “Best Of” Resorts For Seniors At Walt Disney World

Ken — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 13:15:57 +0000

As Seniors, when we travel to Walt Disney World, we like to enjoy all that it has to offer. But many of us, even though we enjoy the parks, also enjoy more of the other fine things that Walt Disney World has to offer. This article will concentrate on resorts and I will address restaurants, park, and other attractions in the future. The first thing I need to address are the choices addressed here. Opinions on the “best of” anything {Read More}
