That said, Reddit fits the bill for Guests looking to unveil information they wouldn’t usually let loose anywhere else online. It can be argued that people tell lies online and spread false information. But when it comes to Reddit threads and subreddits, people feel comfortable telling the truth as their names, faces, and data are kept private. A popular place people go to tell their stories is the r/UniversalOrlando subreddit page, which boasts a ton of topics for people to discuss and disclose. Recently, a user mentioned how someone they knew brought a 3-day-old infant into Disney World, leading to the infant getting seriously sick.
