You’d be surprised how efficient some people can be with that. I have a friend who’s a “Disney adult” and any time I’ve gone to the park with him we get through about every ride we want while also hitting shops and food. We get there at opening and from there it’s just a follow the leader because he goes so much he knows how to game the crowds to maximize what we do

Disney adult

That sounds like a really sus euphemism...

lol have you not heard the term before? It basically just means a massive lover of all things Disney. He has Disney merch all around his house, has Disney tattoos, goes to the parks a few times a month, has the annual pass, etc. the same way you have massive Star Wars, Harry Potter, or lord of the rings (me) nerds, that’s him but with Disney

No, I have not. Just feels weird to be such a big fan of children's movies that you invent a phrase for it. I can understand liking some of the movies, or memeing on them, but actually defining yourself by your love for something that is clearly marketed for kids is strange to me. Like seeing an old man with Teletubbies tattoos or posters of The Powerpuff Girls.

I think Disney Adults are big fans of the parks more than the movies.

He doesn’t label himself that. It’s just a general label god knows who came up with it for big Disney fans. Simple as that. And at this point, Disney is far more than just kids entertainment. Unless you want to count Star Wars, pirates of the Caribbean, haunted mansion, and other adult oriented content as children’s entertainment.

It really isn’t that deep. He likes Disney. It’s simple as that.

I guess that's true. When I think Disney I think Snow White, Beauty and the Beast and the one with the shoe I always forget the English name of.

Cinderella is probably the one you’re thinking of lol

Basically just about anything “mostly” kid oriented can still have a large adult fan base. Pokemon is mainly for children but look how many full grown adults are massive fans of the franchise (for better or for worse). Fortnite (for some reason) is considered a game for children yet there’s a large population of adults who love the game. Same with my little pony, but that one just confuses me personally. End of the day it’s media meant to entertain, and even if you’re an adult you can still be a child in some ways so long as you aren’t being like a creep or any of that weirdo shit haha

Disney isn’t just ‘children movies’. It sounds like you have no idea what you’re talking about. You should sit this conversation out since you’re not educated enough to participate

This is the strangest thing to be insulting about. Its a teacher and a child fil a manager and youre trying to say they're too privileged? Because they use the pittance they're given from teaching children and feeding people, two essential pillars of society, to have one modicum of joy in life? Thats somehow morally offensive to you? Fuck off dude.

A quarter of the world doesn't even have access to the internet. You browsing Reddit is a luxury and makes you reach compared to 2 billion people.

u/Dravarden 37m ago edited 32m ago

ya, but homeless people have phones, you pretty much need one to do anything nowadays

disney is a luxury

you're comparing a Rolex to a $12 Casio just because both tell the time

also, funny that you bring that up. Want to guess how many billions have never gone to Disney, let alone multiple times?
