Dick Van Dyke had a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious time returning to his roots with a day trip to Disneyland. On Sunday, 97-year-old Van Dyke was spotted alongside his wife, 57-year-old Arlene Silver, as the two navigated the park, with Van Dyke in a wheelchair. Van Dyke is something of a Disney veteran thanks to titles like Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N. and 1968's Never a Dull Moment, but especially with the beloved Mary Poppins.
