Do I hand sand or buy a belt sander? Seems that a belt sander will go right
through the door in seconds, so that is why I ask.

The veneer is very thin. Use a palm sander.

But, you might just need some freshening. Try various cleaning products first. Start with TSP (trisodum phosphate). I've had good luck with "refinishing" wipe-on products. Look for those at your local woodworking shop.

There is " liquid refinisher" available at HD. Lowes, Ace Hardware,
etc. Definitely do not use any electrically operated sander unless
you are willing to buy new doors.
