Love your videos and content. I have some experience with traveling with seniors. I recently did a trip with my 80 yr old dad and adult kids. I agree 100% about the nap mid day. It is essential for the seniors and helpful for everyone when you are waking before 7am and sometimes touring until way after dark. Invest in a Disney hotel that you can easily return to for some rest time. And longer trips make it possible so that you can stay at your hotel that evening for dinner and not have to go back to a park. One of our days we planned to return to the hotel by 2 for a nap/rest, but because of broken down rides we had to stay in the park until 3:30 and by the time we got back to the hotel it was already 4pm and we were all just too exhausted to return, but we were able to modify as needed.
As for scooters, they are very much needed. My dad logged 5,000 steps one day even WITH a scooter. You have to park and walk onto most rides, so there is still some standing and walking even if you use the scooter for most of the day. This is not the time to be brave! Rent the Scooter! Scooterbug is able to leave your scooter with your hotel's bell services even before you arrive. And renting once you get to the park is risky because they sell out, but also because there is a lot of walking getting from your room onto Disney Transporation (like monorail ramps and such) as well as sometimes it is a super long walk from your room itself. I remember one year our room at the Dophin was so far away that we were exhaused by the time we got out of the hotel to the boat dock. One last thing about scooters, they can be hard to drive after dark. Make sure yours has a headlight and even bring a light so that your group can easily find you in the dark. We brought battery operated Christmas lights to put on the scooter to make it easy to spot and it worked so well.
My final advice is don't expect a "Do EVERYTHING" kind of trip with seniors. You will ride fewer rides and see more shows and enjoy nice meals as a family. This was my favorite trip because the pace was more relaxed and we just all really savored the experience. Also, the Polynesian was my favorite resort I've ever stayed at. It was so lush and tropical and just made coming back to the room such a pleasure.
100% Thanks for sharing! Thanks for watching/commenting too!
Very good video. My mom and I are planing a vacation to Disney world.
Tip for those who aren’t using a scooter, electric wheelchair or other mobility device. Don’t talk down to the person using the device. I’ve seen that in everyday life.
Sorry that you have seen that, sadly people judge. I get that with Food Allergies ALL the TIME. Like we can help it. I say, you do you and enjoy. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Taking my grandma for the first time in 2 weeks this was perfect timing & great information.
Wonderful! Love taking the Grandparents! Thanks for watching/commenting!
This was so helpful!
Great! Thanks for watching/commenting!
I am 59 and travel to WDW alone. I recommend After Hours Events.
Love those! Thanks for watching/commenting!
I want to take my grandparents when I get a chance and this is gonna help so much thank you!
Awesome! And FUN! Thanks for watching/commenting!
These are good tips even for non-seniors. 😊
For sure. I'm not a senior yet and I also use these tips :) Thanks for watching/commenting!
Thank you for posting
You're welcome! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Made a Christmas reservation then over the summer I got over zealous painting while using a ladder and injured my knee. 5 weeks later, although better, my knee is still swollen and painful so yep I decided to rent a scooter. Great tips - thanks
Sorry to hear that, darn ladder. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Thank you for sharing. Looking for videos on seniors with food restrictions where to eat (no fried foods, non caffeinated beverages, vegetarian dishes) What can seniors do if they can't get on rides because of motion sickness... Or should they just stay home?
I have Videos on Meals (Quick Service, Table Service and Character Meals) and I talk about food restrictions. I also have a video about all the rides with Motion Sickness. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Great information and good advice!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Thank you this video was very helpful for us as I'm 72 and she's 61 and we have never been and walking has been a big problem but think we can get away with just one scooter.
Awesome! Check out my quiet places video for spots to relax in, if needed. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Wonderful info for us seniors thank you M.N.
Oh YAY, My pleasure! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Are there any scooter services that deliver the scooter straight at the park rather than the hotel room.
Not sure. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Fantastic video.
Thanks! And thanks for watching/commenting!
My mom 88, likes to be at rhe parks before opening and wants to stay to closing. Shes has chronic lung problems and does use a scooter. But her attitude is, "she can sleep all ahe wants at home, this is vacation". I have no idea where she gets the energy.
LOVE THAT! Yep, sleep at home :) Thanks for watching/commenting!
Great tips! Thank you! Planning a trip with my senior mom that can not walk long distances so I was thinking of bringing the wheelchair we got for her. For when she feels to tired to walk. Like if we go to the Dumbo ride, does the wheelchair fit the ride or a disney employee will put it aside?
For most rides, you have to park the scooter or wheelchair. If she can't walk at all, each ride has its own procedure for that. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Before wearing compression stockings please review the guidelines.
(ie health issues. .. .heart issues, diabetic, circulation issues etc.)
I'm interested in what you mean. I was told to wear mine but are they NOT safe for certain concerns? Thanks for watching/commenting!
@@MermaidNinaTravels I never thought about wearing compression stockings - good idea. I am going to wear them and try them out before I go.
Do you have any suggestions for seniors who aren't falling apart
Hello I have been watching your videos and I’m planning my first trip to Disney world with a friend and I’m not sure and you may have answered these questions already but is park hopper a good option for 1st timers with no kids and which places to eat for a adult vacation and thanks again for what you do
Love Park Hopping for Adults and I have a few videos out about Dining. I have a Hopping Video, Quick Service Video, Table Service Video and even Character Meal Video - Thanks for watching/commenting!
Park hopping gives way more flexibility. We stay on monorail loop, so the ability to visit MK any evening was important to us. Same when we stayed at Dolphin. Epcot has so many great restaurants that we could visit any afternoon.
Went last year with a friend needing a scooter. at many of the rides she rode the scooter right up getting on the ride. a cast member took the scooter to the end of the ride. we did not have to leave in stroller parking.
Same great experience last February when my friend had to use scooter due to unexpected injury. We were at Epcot and everyone was so helpful.
YES! This can happen but its not always and its ride depending so didn't want to guarantee something that could change. Great to hear! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Do you have a itinerary for adults , my kids are in there mid to upper 20 s and we are in our 50s . We have been 5 times and are going next week . I’m just trying to find a list of rides in order . It’s difficult to find adult itinerary’s. We are going to magic kingdom , Hollywood studios and animal kingdom only. I know the Star Wars rides need to be done at first thing in the morning. Thank you
I do! Its for older kids/adults who don't want to focus on the Characters or kiddie rides. I have 1 for EACH park, just make sure its doesn't say KIDS Edition. Thanks for watching/commenting!
@@MermaidNinaTravels Ok can you tell me how to print them out . I don’t do Facebook . Do you have a website?
@@MermaidNinaTravels can you please tell me where to go to print them out. I don’t use Facebook . Thank you
@@pyroman49wedd86 They are videos on my channel. I only make custom Itineraries for clients.
@@MermaidNinaTravels ok I seem to be getting nowhere . I’m new to your channel . how much would it be to get a itinerary list for animal kingdom, Hollywood studios and magic kingdom . I would gladly pay for in order ride lists for adults only. I don’t do Facebook . I been looking for a website if you have one Thx
I can't afford longer trips, but I have learned to do less with each trip.
Sometimes less is more. Thanks for watching/commenting!
