Credit: Inside the MagicMillions and millions of Guests visit the Walt Disney World Resort each day, and it’s safe to assume a large portion of those numbers are children. After all, it was Walt’s original vision to have places where families and children could spend time together. However, Disney’s intended audiences have drastically changed.
With the rise of more adult Guests showing deeper interest in Disney, some have speculated whether or not places like Disney World will start catering to a more mature clientele. Rumors of “adult-only” Disney days have been circulating for a long while, but a recent video shows to what extent the fans are wanting to see this happen.
Fans Demand Adult Days at Disney World
@mousetrapnews Are you excited for days at Disney where kids are banned? #disneyworld #disneynews #disneyadult #disneytrip #disneyadults
@mousetrapnews is a very misleading channel on TikTok, as the video above has already been debunked. That being said, the reactions to this controversial take are all too real.
The comments below the video are absolutely loaded with fans who genuinely want Disney to take this next step. The upload might have been made in a sort of tongue-in-cheek fashion, but it might also be a case of “it’s funny because its true.”
There is indeed an element of truth to the video, especially when the voice over states that Disney Adults are growing to be one of the company’s biggest demographics. Given the right direction, a season of adults-only Disney World days could have a significant pull in Disney’s favor.

Even if the video isn’t true, many viewers were quick to share their support in the comment section. Parents or not, dozens of Guests undoubtedly want to be free of the screaming and strollers.
Many adults are undoubtedly aware of the benefits, like @cat_violinist who comments,
“Tbh, I think it would be a wise move, especially during “slower” periods. I’d totally be on board with this idea!”
And @khaleesisjourney also adds,
“As a mom with twos I love this idea! The other parks are open normally it’s just one at a time. And during a time when kids are typically at school.”
Of course, not all Guests are quite as polite about the idea. While younger Disney Park Guests have caused problems in the past, some commenters feel the need to drag them through the mire.
@poisonfish120 bluntly writes,
“THANK GOD! I’m tired of going and having snotty a** little crotch goblins screaming everywhere.”
And some viewers are even acknowledging the blame that lies with both unruly kids and overly permissive parents.
@jenkenstein comments,
“Adults hating children is gives evil human vibes. How can you hate such a vulnerable population.”
But @shineyboots comes back with,
“Cause their parents don’t know how to parent and raise brats! Just because people choose to raise brats doesn’t mean I should have to be around em.”
Adult days at Disney might not be something fans see in the too near future, but that’s not saying they aren’t possible. If the company truly wants to give the people what they want, they could easily arrange something for older Guests while the kids are in school during the fall, or late at night while they’re asleep. It’s not like they haven’t tried.
