Happy 58th birthday Disneyland – old age is the new awesome

Disney World's Magic Kingdom toll plaza
Love Disney so much, decided to go work there in 1982

 

Old age is the new awesome.

Happy 58th birthday Disneyland!

Walt Disney worked hard to create a place where Families could have fun together.

A place where people of all ages could go and forget about the real world and enjoy a few hours of pure magic and fantasy.

Many of us Baby Boomers spent our childhood weeks patiently waiting for Sunday nights to watch Walt reveal his new episode.

Do we, most of us now over 50, still feel like kids? Mentally? Physically?

This doesn’t have to be a fantasy. Does it?

The easy thing to do? Cheat. The admirable thing to do? Don’t.

what do we hope for and what do we fear?

Why do people attend High School reunions? Why was the tradition started? What has kept it alive? Why are there some that never miss one? And some that never attend one?

Tonight is our class’s 35th reunion. When we were seniors, 17 or 18 years old, did we think the person who shows up tonight is the person we could have become?
