As such, jokes about people who enjoy visiting Disney parks annually (or even multiple times a year) run rampant on social media. Satirized as being mentally stuck in elementary school and shamed for spending exorbitant amounts of money on their Disney fix, “Disney Adult " has become the punchline de jour for someone who needs to grow up and get a life.
Disney Adults are blasted for constantly returning to “the most magical place on Earth,” and their slanderers believe those travel funds should be spent on “real” vacations. Where? Literally anywhere else. The most outrageous of culprits? A Disney Adult who enjoys the Disney bubble… without any children.
I’ll admit it: I am a Disney Adult. You know what, I’m proud of it. I grew up during the Disney Renaissance era and still never miss a new release, collect merch (especially ornaments), and will dress my dog as Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story this Halloween. When I’m super bored, I check the wait times for rides while I’m on my couch thousands of miles away instead of doomscrolling. I’m confident in enjoying whatever makes me happy, and I choose to invest in my joy.
And I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
In my opinion, Disney Adults are no different than the passionate members of any other fandom. I feel authorized to speak on this from the vantage point of a kid who practically grew up at Yankee Stadium.
As a stadium kid (and lifelong Yankees fan), I’ve seen the most diehard Yankees fans spend thousands on season tickets and coveted World Series seats with hopes of seeing the Bronx Bombers win at home. Fans drop real money for endless rounds of pricey stadium beer just to be “in the building.” And for this fanaticism, people barely bat an eye.
Yes, again. Because it brings me joy, and it’s currently hard out here for a whimsical millennial.
When investing in a Disney trip, however, winning or losing isn’t on the line. There’s a high likelihood of having a great experience if a traveler leans into the tried-and-true activities that have historically been fun experiences for them. The guarantee of making happy memories is priceless.
On my last trip to the House of Mouse, I spent a lot of time at the BoardWalk, an area that connects Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club resorts that doesn’t require a ticket. I watched the Magic Kingdom fireworks on the beach with my toes nestled in the sand and far away from crowds. In another effort to avoid large crowds, I enjoyed a paint-and-sip class at Coronado Springs Resort and got a souvenir only I could make. On future trips, I’m hoping to explore a dog-friendly resort where I can bring my Buzz Lightyear pup, and plan a visit tailored for my mother, a senior who wouldn’t be able to walk endlessly in the Orlando heat. We often talk about when she took me to Disney for the first time for my fourth birthday, and all of the changes since then. For her, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will be a must.
Do I like to travel to places other than Walt Disney World? Yes. I love exploring the Caribbean in particular, where I immerse myself in water activities and learn about the cultures. When I travel to Europe, I tend to take cathedral tours in whatever area I’m traveling in. Despite the stereotype, Disney Adults can have multiple interests. Still, that doesn’t make me feel guilty for the giddiness I feel the moment I step onto the green carpet at Orlando International Airport, knowing that a shuttle is about to transport me into the peace of the Disney bubble.
Disney Adults may be “cringe.” We’re an easy mark. But I can guarantee that not one of us will think twice about returning to a place we love.
Life’s tough, and there’s nothing wrong with enjoying some magic every now and then.
