People often complain about “whataboutism” to get away from their double standards being held to account. I thank you for giving an ironclad example of what real whataboutism looks like.
I’ve spent a day alone at the Magic Kingdom as an adult. My husband and I went for a 3 day stay without the kids! And one of the best trips I’ve ever taken was a girls trip with my grown dgt, my soon to be dgt in law and me. That was the first time we stayed at Jamba House and we have never stayed anywhere else since. We had a blast. 5 days later my son joined us and contained to have the time of our lives!! We did all the things kids would do and enjoyed the grown up things. BEST TRIP EVER!!!!!!!!
My sister and I live in So Cal and are have been visiting Disneyland since we were young children in the 1960’s. We are now pass holders for several years and we go together every 2 weeks. We took our children and enjoyed that experience of course, but as adults we have SO MUCH fun now! If you don’t understand, you should try it. We wouldn’t give it up for anything!! It’s our Happy Place in this crazy world.
That was NOT Walt’s vision!! That’s how he came up with the idea of Disneyland, sitting on that bench at Griffith Park, watching his daughters on the merry go round! He wanted a place that Adults could enjoy WITH their children. The bench he sat on is in Disneyland on display. Do your research!! And listen to Walt’s opening address announcement about Disneyland!!
As an adult I have gone many times both solo and with my adult friends. I enjoy going as an adult. I never understood bringing children that are too young to the parks because they won’t remember it anyway ( how much do you remember from when you were 3?). I believe adults get more out of it and my friends and I are huge Disnerds. There is nothing wrong with that. Our homes are filled with Disney collectibles, many purchased at the parks. The adults spend more money ( we buy more expensive souvenirs). I’m proud to be a Disnerds and so are my friends. We all have our favorite characters and seek them out in the parks.
Hey Xbox, 30 years back, my wife suffered a brain tumor Who’s complications left her with the inability to have children. Brain injuries are strange things, it also left her with the desire for all things Disney….I guess the”Happiest place on Earth” thing.
Eight hours of surgery and months of radiation /rehab later, we bought heavily into DVC.
Did you invest in DVC?
If you happen to see us in line at a park, by all means, tap my wife on the shoulder and tell her how pissed you are that she is there. She is fairly easy to spot, thin hair and a baseball type scar on her head.
My husband and I used to go all the time. We had passes so we would go, ride a couple rides , shop and eat dinner. Being seniors we can’t afford it anymore. Disney should have senior prices and or hours that are cheaper. It’s really sad for us!
I think we can agree that Steve, TheDude and XBox Gold respond just to get a rise out of people, and move on. AndTeam Johnny Depp, if you’re going to call people Prostitutes, please learn to spell the word! Yes, Walt Disney developed Disneyland to appeal to all ages. He wanted families to be able to enjoy it together. That does not mean that he didn’t want adults to avoid it if they didn’t have kids. It’s got something for everyone! I started taking my son when he was 1 year old, and he’s still willing to go with me if I need a Disney fix..he’s now 30. It’s keeps the kid in us alive.
I went to Disneyland with my parents when I was 9 years old. We all loved it. When I had my own family, we went to Disneyland or World every few years as we were able to save for it. We always had a great time, but my daughter and I loved going open to close from her second visit at 5 years old on. (Dad and son pooped out earlier.) As she became a working adult, we chose to travel together to WDW every 2-3 years. We have an absolute blast. We have plans for her to push me in a wheelchair when that time comes.
We are always happy, cheerful, respectful of others and help out as others need it. If we don’t belong at Disney parks, no one does. We are perfect examples of what Walt envisioned in his long-term plans. Shame on those who say adults without children don’t belong.
And Beth W, I couldn’t agree more about the trolls who respond to just get a rise outta people; they respond on just about every article I read…
What a load of rubbish – we took our kids when they were young now we enjoy just being their on our own and have done since the 90’s – by the way we are both now in our 70’s and love our Disney trips whenever we can get them.

THAT IS VERY HARSH. Not everyone who is an adult is weird. Some of us are big kids at heart and just love the atmosphere and rides. Innocent kid at heart.
Comments for Disney Parks Are Aiming Their Sights at The Wrong Audience
Steve
Yes, leftist childless weirdos.
Pony
What about people who are incapable of having children? Are they Leftist weirdos?
Your hateful attitude is what has no place in the Disney Parks.

Mindy
Exactly. I certainly don’t need alcohol. Give me the cake pops and we’re all good.

I am saying what I actually think, usually which is factually true. Sorry that your bubble only includes approved falsehoods.
