I'm 50. I don't do parades, I don't do character breakfasts, I don't have my picture taken with characters, I don't participate at dance parties or other childish type events. Well, except when Disney does it. I have some pictures of DH and I with Mickey and Minnie wearing traditional Italian dress, pictures of everyone at our table with Mickey wearing a traditional Greek kilt. I've got pictures of me wearing a giant Minnie bow on my head at a character breakfast on the Magic and a great picture of DH where Pluto is trying to eat his head. I've danced like an idiot at the pirate party, the sail away party, hugged Goofy dressed up like Napoleonic soldier in Corsica. DH insists on going to every single parade at WDW, sometimes more than once, where he takes hundreds of pictures. Love Shakeyshakey's picture of MIL - she looks fabulous! Somehow, they pull you into the whole thing and, on a ship where there's a small and limited community of people who are all there because they love Disney, no one will look at you and think that you're acting or dressing like a kid regardless of your age. They're probably taking pictures and trying to figure out how to do it themselves. Everyone had a bit of a child inside and Disney brings it out in you!
