Just wanted part of a day to myself so I did my usual and went to Disneyland. I had all these grand plans of going on a bunch of rides.

Instead I decided I just wanted to walk around the parks looking at all the things I could be doing and then stopped for a nice meal. Then I went walking around again.

I feel like an old person just strolling around with half grey hair.

I did ride a couple of things but including the time standing in line it has been like 10% of my visit.

It is but younger me would be horrified.

I just want to sit on a train or a boat half the time I'm here now.

I still get in go mode for things like six flags where it is just coasters but Disney/Knotts i spend most of my time just soaking in atmosphere.

Every time my oldest daughter reminds me she's not a teenager anymore, I feel I've aged another ten years. My next two will be teens later this year.

But none of us are old. At least I don't think we have anyone in their 80's here. Could be wrong! Has happened before. We're getting older, but not old. Feeling old is the problem. Gotta find ways to keep yourself feeling young. Enjoy life how you can. The definition of what fun may change, but fun is always fun.

Not wanting to stand in line doesn't make one old.
I didn't want to do that junk when I was younger either lol

Weirdly, I think I started going on more rides the older I got ... I just got smarter with the times I would go so there would be less lines I never wanted to stand in lol

I want to start traveling and hitting up more coaster parks. Disney styled parks are more fulfilling but the coaster parks trigger that itch to challenge myself to do everything I can.

The weirdest part about being in my mid 30s, at least for me, is gen Z kids calling me old while older generations say I'm still young.

So really it's just a matter of perspective (I know I'm stating the obvious), we're getting older but we aren't old.

Is this really because you don't care about the rides or because you don't want to wait in lines?
It can be a subconscious thing, like your mind just "knows" that it doesn't want to wait in lines for that long.

The thing is that the lines in popular theme parks became so ridiculous.
I really like theme parks but the last time I was in one it was on Disneyland Paris and the line for "it's a small world" took me like an hour and it just sucked out all my strength.

I am positive that when we were kids the lines weren't THIS bad

Bro when I was a kid I waited like 2+ hours for Splash Mountain. This ain't new lol.
I couldn't stand the wait even when I was 7.

All you can do is laugh about it. I listen to this song when I'm feeling down about it, just to poke fun at myself.

I work with high school students. I've been called old since I was 24.

Then I get people who think I might still be in my 20s when I was born during the end days of the Carter administration.
