Not my first choice for an adult only vacation, but they’re not spending my money so I don’t care.


Not sure why you’d care.

1) good food
2) good drinks
3) away from home
4) pretty fun seasonal events
5) usually around other people having a great time
6) free access to public transit to get to/from everywhere you want to go, if you are staying on-site
7) don't really care what you or anyone else thinks
8) amusement parks have fun rides
9) tons of hidden adultish jokes
10) thrill of finding Hidden Mickey everywhere
11) plenty of decent theatre with pretty good actors, albeit all appealing to children, it appeals to adults, too, in most every case.
12) really just number 7, again

I might have wanted to go myself but after reading this thread it probably is infested with a lot of loud drunks.

Having been there 8 timers (always with kids), I can say that you could have a very kick arse time there without them.

As noted by others, there's a lot of things there for adults to do (including rides) that can be really enjoyed at a much more leisurely pace that you would not have if you are trying to cram every bit of the trip in for your children.

I could easily spend a week long trip at just EPCOT and Animal Kingdom. Not that I would want to, but it would be a pretty good vacation.

I love this response. We criticize anything and everything on the OT but when we clown on something you enjoy (like hanging out with adults in cartoon costumes), it’s off limits.

I know people who take trips to Disney in Orlando that go without any children. Why is this a thing?



Why do you care what other people do?

People like that should be on a mental health watchlist

My wife and I went on our honeymoon and had a great time. Great walking around without kids, drinking at Epcot, eating at nice restaurants, doing things at your own pace without worrying about your kids. Just a pleasure to do without kids really.

Golf, Spas, marathon/races, Victoria and Alberts, nostalgia, Disney Springs, food and wine festival, etc. if we aren’t counting the rides and shows themselves. We have DVC and can stay in a condo within walking distance to Epcot or MK. Otherwise, you can use Disney’s private transportation service if you want to avoid people in general.

I find it to be a little odd, and I wouldn't do it, but who cares?

I've been to Disney and drank my arse off all trip.



This.

Has the OP been to Epcot (can't remember park name) the tour of countries is a tour of beer.

I have seen creepy folk too though. One guy sat all alone eating lunch somewhere in animal kingdom. He looked stright out of Central Casting for a pedophile, and his interactions with all of the staff in character was over the top. You'd not let him babysit.

I say this as a loving parent of two: doing "kid" things without the kids can be fricking bliss.
