Maybe a hot take, but I actually DO get why even adults like the theming of Disney World/land and like to visit it so much. The theming is just so intricately done that it’s honestly very impressive and great to look at and just take in. When you hear about the way some of these art pieces were designed it just makes it that much more amazing imo.
But why are some of these people obsessed with the people in costumes that are clearly meant for toddlers? I don’t marvel at some sweaty tween in a weird furry costume. I don’t get it.
I used to work at the parks and loved just hanging out. There’s a lot of work that went into forced perspective and theming. Disney has always leaned hard into escapism, and it’s easy to see why someone would want to be reminded of easier years.
Oh, hey, I worked attractions and merchandise at DAK back in 2008-2014 with a few gaps in there. And same, it was nice to just chill in the parks. Did you get to do any of the cast backstage tours? I got to go on one to the Haunted Mansion, that was really cool to see.
I was attractions at DCA around that time frame as well! Got to do a track walk of Indy, previewed changed attractions, and got to do Tower of Terror no-show rides when I was closing.
I got to do a track walk of Dinosaur too, did you know that Dinosaur is just a re-themed Indy? They pointed out where the boulder would be on the other ride during the walkthrough. Disney did not put much effort into Dinoland at all, lol.
Epcot and Hollywood studios was made for adults. Convince me otherwise.
Getting drunk at epcot before the fireworks show while getting to eat good food is magical for adult me. I love the food and wine festival. And even as an adult the Star Wars area is still dope
I think I have Disney PTSD from a former friend/acquaintance who had an almost supernatural ability to make any conversation into a conversation about Disney. So, now I’m super sensitive about it. Would almost rather a conversation start with “Have you heard about our Lord and savior Jesus Christ” than anything that includes the word “Disney”.
Have you hear about our Lord and saviour Mickey Mouse?
Yeah, I just start mentally checking out when someone talks sincerely about religion or Disney.
TBF a there’s a lot of crossover between Disney and the religious. Disney is seen as whloesome and safe, and that may be true to a point, but it’s also just a furtherance of the conformity and exclusion of reality that the religious expect. Disney is militant on image and making sure the parks conform to their corporate rule. The religious love that.
this is really true
I used to work at Disneyland. The “disney adult” meme doesn’t seem to stack up with reality.
Is it better or worse in reality?
Disney adults are just nerds. Almost all of them have been chill.
Yes
Absolute worst place on earth. It’s extortion to adults, brainwashing to kids.
Will I be the only man on the bus? If so this is getting dangerously close to one of my biggest fantasies… Don’t judge me
You don’t want to have sex with a Disney adult. You just don’t. I actually know several of them irl. They always end up being overly childish and not in a cute way.
Oh, I definitely want to, I just probably shouldn’t for the reasons you said lol
As someone who’s parents couldn’t afford shipping us halfway across the country then paying for Disneyland, i’d love to go as an adult.
That doesn’t make you a weirdo, that’s pretty normal. The weird Disney adults are the ones that have been to Disney A LOT and are obsessed with it. When I lived in FL I had a coworker that would drive like 2 hrs each way to go to Disney multiple times a week! She wasted all her money on Disney shit, and it was 50% of anything she talked about. Her husband even got a job there so they could be “more involved”. Those are the weirdos.
How about we let people enjoy what they enjoy without shaming them?
Because, disney adults need to be shamed.
Why?
Because he lost his joy at some point in his life and Disney adults remind him of what he lost, which angers him
I’d just lock myself in the bathroom and let the fumes take me.
Pretty sure I’d end up in prison.
In Disney prison, Goofy is the guard.
I like how that one pillar of the building could be mistaken for drool.
Very fitting.
I don’t get it pls halp
Im banned unfortunately
How does one get banned from Disneyland? Hopefully not something as stupid as smoking a joint.
To be clear, I think that you should be able to smoke a joint in the smoking area.
Drowning Mickey Mouse on Pirates of the Caribbean.
lmao my sister and I got caught shoplifting when I was 13
Jane’s Addiction?
Wait, no he was 5…
Slow down Satan
Disney adults are a bit lame, yeah, but I swear they have nothing on the demographic that truly deserves the crown for lamest and most cringe but somehow flies under the radar:
Harry Potter adults
And for the record, people are allowed to be lame. It doesn’t make them bad, it just makes them lame. I’ll defend their right to be lame forever, but it’s also okay to tease them lightly about it, so long as it stays good-natured. Don’t take life so serious.
SILENCIO
Nah Disney adults are the fucking worst. At least Harry potter people fucking die and get tortured and the story’s are cool. Mickey mouse is just a cunt rat that was racist years ago. Fuck Disney
Harry Potter is just “baby’s first fantasy series” with no substance and every dollar spent on HP merch goes to supporting an active and living TERF who takes monetary gains as implicit support
And they won’t even be singing good disney songs on the bus either.
