I used to work at the parks and loved just hanging out. There's a lot of work that went into forced perspective and theming. Disney has always leaned hard into escapism, and it's easy to see why someone would want to be reminded of easier years.

ive met some disney fanatics. everyone has their thing, some people are just really into that thing.

im happy theyre happy, but i also think we should just give them florida so we dont really have to be exposed to.. their thing.

Agreed.

Also, if an adult enjoys cartoons and sleeps with a plushie, I am not going to judge. Life is hard. Whatever it takes to get through the day, you do you.

IMO, telling people their benign coping mechanism is bad is how we get more shootings. Clutch that plushie, my dude!

Epcot and Hollywood studios was made for adults. Convince me otherwise.

Have you hear about our Lord and saviour Mickey Mouse?

Mormons in my experience have jumbled their ‘religion’ with Disney so hard they cannot tell them apart. The latest demonization of Disney by the god-botherers has caused some distinct cognitive dissonance among my faithful extended family.

Yeah, I just start mentally checking out when someone talks sincerely about religion or Disney.

TBF a there’s a lot of crossover between Disney and the religious. Disney is seen as whloesome and safe, and that may be true to a point, but it’s also just a furtherance of the conformity and exclusion of reality that the religious expect. Disney is militant on image and making sure the parks conform to their corporate rule. The religious love that.

Is it better or worse in reality?

You don't want to have sex with a Disney adult. You just don't. I actually know several of them irl. They always end up being overly childish and not in a cute way.

That doesn't make you a weirdo, that's pretty normal. The weird Disney adults are the ones that have been to Disney A LOT and are obsessed with it. When I lived in FL I had a coworker that would drive like 2 hrs each way to go to Disney multiple times a week! She wasted all her money on Disney shit, and it was 50% of anything she talked about. Her husband even got a job there so they could be "more involved". Those are the weirdos.

I don't get it pls halp

How does one get banned from Disneyland? Hopefully not something as stupid as smoking a joint.

To be clear, I think that you should be able to smoke a joint in the smoking area.

I think using the word "kink" implies sexual connotations, which it doesn't have to be at all. 100% agreed with your sentiment, though. I hope that person had a blast!

Well I get off on exploiting my subordinates and the environment.

Don't kink shame me
