What I get:
-People with young kids looking for something fun to do that their kids will enjoy. It's a fun trip for the kids.

What I don't get:
-Couples in their mid/late-20's or early 30's with no kids who go do Disney World of all places. I went a couple times as a child and had a lot of fun. But I was a child.
-People who go every single year.
-You are young, have no kids and can go anywhere and do anything but choose to spend ~$5000 at Disney. The Roman Colosseum. Machu Picchu. Great Pyramid of Giza. The Beaches of Hawaii. The beaches and party scene in Ibiza. Skiing in the Rockies. An African safari. Yellowstone National Park. ... Cinderella Castle.

-Brutally long lines for any worthwhile rides
-Crowds everywhere
-If you go in the summer it's hot and humid as balls
-Everything is expensive
-People walking around with cartoon costumes
-Disney themed everything


Tell me what I'm missing about not going to Disney World as a late 20's male with a fiance and no kids.

They have Star Wars now, though.

It's time for this thread again?

Will be going to DW for the first time in my life in 2 weeks with my 3 year old.

I don't really care about DW, but I can't wait to see her reactions to seeing her favorite characters and just being there. She is going to lose her mind.

I agree with you though...no idea why couples go. Not for me.

Some people will look at your list ask you the same thing about some of those other places.

Nothing. Couples going to Disney is sad.

Adults that go without kids are some odd people. More odd are the people w/o kids that go a few times a year, blows my mind. I work with one of these retards and it's not a shock that he's one that does this. Complete jackass.

I'm not the biggest fan of Disney World, but I've had fun the two times I went. I'm not a DW hater like some.

The thing that I understand the least though is couples that go on their honeymoon. Seems weird to me .

Your fiancé loved when I took her, especially when I fricked her behind a Star Wars exhibit.

I've been to Disney as a child, teenager, adult with no kids, and parent. No trip was better than seeing my 2 and 3 year olds reactions.

I know many older couples without children that do the annual Disney thing. I don't get it.

If you can't find a way to enjoy Disney no matter what age you are that's more on you. Life's too short to be worrying about shite like this my man.
