re: Disney Adults...What an odd group.

I know groups of women who go there every year. It is very common. They go have fun in the park, then they go hit the night life nearby.

I'm really not sure anymore who is more cultish, people that go to Disney, or people that hate on people who go to Disney.

One groups motivation is enjoying Disney vacations, can't figure out the others.

Can’t imagine how much this costs them. And they aren’t “rich” but just kinda solidly middle class (maybe 150k income).

if they drive and stay off property it can actually be quite less than flying and on property. They also may pack a backpack with sandwiches and gold fish crackers and only drink water. Outside food is allowed in the park. So gas/cheap hotel/park tickets. Same as a pricy condo on the beach for a long weekend?

I wouldn't do it but it may not be that expensive.

No way I could go to Disney in July or August. Doing the parks in the heat just seems miserable.

We just did it 2 weeks ago. It wasn't bad at all. My girls are older so we don't have to do princess meet and greets or any of that type of stuff. This time of year it rains just about every afternoon between 3-4. Our daily routine for 5 days was this:

- Breakfast in the hotel between 9-10.
- Get to the parks around 10:30-11 and take it easy.
- Plan to eat lunch between 3-4 to dodge the showers.
- Hit the parks hard in the evenings when it's not 100°.

My biggest qualm with Disney adults is the fact that for the money- they could literally travel the world. Why not go see Europe or Africa or Asia? Experience real life.

1) How do you know they don't?

2) This is always said but "Disney adults" aren't the ones booking $10K, 10 day trips in Deluxe resorts. This group typically drives or catches $50 Spirit flights and goes for 2-3 days. Total trip can cost under a grand.

Imagine caring what people do with their vacations.

If you don't want to share opinions, go hide in your garage and keep it to yourself.

I thought I was sharing my opinion when I insinuated (or is it implied) that it's odd for adults to worry about how other adults spend their money. Am I not allowed to share my opinion if it does not align with your opinion?

As F*ed up as it is, you know as well as I do there are a large number of these Disney adults that are 100% perfectly ok with this. And there is probably a certain segment that doesn't think they do enough.

The part I find strange is those against the Disney Adults are not affected by the Disney Adult if they actually do not go to Disney.

I also know a married couple in their thirties with 2 kids (youngest 2) who will be taking their 12th trip in their 14 years of marriage.

I know a poster here who had year passes for like 5 years and spent damn near every holiday and at least 1-2 weekends a month with his wife and 2 kids at Disney.

Oh look it's this thread again
