Seniors with fond memories of the circus can treat themselves to a modern-day version of the Big Top like they ve never experienced before. Performances are five nights a week. Swing is king at Atlantic Dance located along Disney s BoardWalk. Designed with an art deco flair, Atlantic Dance recalls the charm and glamour of a 1930s dance hall with a classic lounge atmosphere. Through the late afternoon and evening hours, the four-story atrium lobby is filled with the mellifluous sounds of the Grand Flordian Society Orchestra and a grand pianist.
Seniors can lounge on a couch or stuffed chair and sip a drink.
Afternoon tea is a daily ritual in the Garden View Lounge of the Grand Floridian. Scones, pastries and finger sandwiches accompany tea. Steps from the Grand Floridian is where the mature set can go to recharge and revitalize. Seniors feeling less than sedentary can bike through Disney s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, float around Disney water parks in brightly colored inner tubes or take out a rental boat for a spin on Disney waterways. Recreation managers at the Walt Disney World Resort point to a special bond with seniors.
