Dick Van Dyke proved he\u2019s a big kid at heart as he enjoyed a trip to Disneyland with his wife.<\/p>\n

The legendary Mary Poppins actor, 97, was pushed through the California theme park in a wheelchair by a tour guide, and looked to be in fantastic spirits.<\/p>\n

Along with the guide steering Dick around the \u2018happiest place on earth,\u2019 the Mary Poppins star was joined by his wife of 11 years, Arlene Silver, 52.<\/p>\n

The Disney Legend \u2013 who received the title in 2021 \u2013 wore a denim baseball cap, blue jumper and grey trousers, his and sported his trademark silver beard.<\/p>\n

Wife Arlene, meanwhile strolled casually alongside him, dressed for the occasion in a Haunted Mansion t-shirt.<\/p>\n

The couple chatted away easily to each other before taking in a barbershop quartet performance, deciding against the likes of Space Mountain.<\/p>\n

It comes after the Golden Globe-winning actor was involved in a car crash in March of this year, where he reportedly lost control of his Lexus in the rain.<\/p>\n

Dick is believed to have been left with a bloodied nose and mouth and possible concussion following the incident.<\/p>\n

He is understood to have retired from driving after the shock.<\/p>\n

Despite his impressive age, Dick is as active as ever, and last year made history as the oldest-ever contestant of The Masked Singer US, shocking fans and reducing judge Nicole Scherzinger to tears as he was unmasked as her childhood hero.<\/p>\n

He later joked that \u2018people thought I was dead\u2019 before he burst back into the spotlight on the US singing competition.<\/p>\n

And Dick is determined to beat the saying about old dogs and new tricks, as he revealed this summer he had picked up a new hobby -learning to play the ukulele.<\/p>\n

He shared a short clip of himself practising the instrument online, picking out notes as he strummed, asking for help where needed.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s never too late to start something new,\u2019 he encouraged.<\/p>\n
