Walt Disney World Experiences for Seniors

Skyliner Hop at Walt Disney World

From HS go to the Hub then continue to Pop Century & Art Of Animation to explore all the fun architectural elements there. Head back to the hub and there I like to stop at Joffrey’s then walk on through the Caribbean Beach resort with a drink & explore the island before moving on to the Riveria. Here the Tangled and Peter Pan mosaics are stunning with the water fountain located in the outdoor archway.

Back on the Skyliner and onto just outside the International Gateway at Epcot. Circle the water to explore the Yacht & Beach Club, Dolphin, Swan & Boardwalk resorts. Lobbies in all of these resorts smell amazing & have arrangements of beautiful fresh flowers. At the Dolphin take the escalator up to see the water fountain & gorgeous lobby lights. Look for indoor & outdoor swan fountains next door.

The Boardwalk has several shops & restaurants. The newest restaurant there is The Cake Bake, with an attached bakery you don’t need a reservation for & at least peek in to see how beautiful it all is. The desserts are sprinkled with edible glitter. Jellyrolls is a most fun way to enjoy dueling pianos after the sun sets. There’s a fee to see, but it includes popcorn . Between these resorts you can choose the boat if you don’t want to walk.

Visiting Other Disney Resorts Too!

The Coronado is a beautiful resort & the lobby of the Destino tower is stunning! A walk outside around the water won’t disappoint & the pool is quite unique. There’s a movie playing in the lobby that represents a design collaboration between Walt Disney & artist Salvador Dali.

The beauty of the stained glass in the Lobby bar is not to be missed & the subtle changing colors in the restaurant ceiling on the top floor is a treat if you dine there. Step outside & enjoy the view & Epcot’s fireworks.

The entire Animal Kingdom Lodge compound including Kadini Village is worth the trip there.

You can see the animals roaming outside at both.

Seeing authentic African objects on display with info cards is a lesson in itself you should take time to enjoy.

A flamboyance of flamingos resides poolside at the lodge.

At Disney Springs you can board a boat for a relaxing ride to Saratoga Springs or the Orleans resorts (fun decor & delicious Mickey shaped beignets) or the furthest Key West resort with a pool & lighthouse. A welcome break from the busy shopping complex.

* Boats between Disney Springs and the resorts may not run if the water level is low
