21 Types of Disneyland Fans

Justin Abarca from Buzzfeed came up with a very accurate and funny list of the different types of guests Disneyland sees. I fall into at least several of these categories.

1. The matching T-shirt family.

We get it, you love each other, but do you all need to be in the churro line?

2. The first-timers.

You’re about to say, “Sheesh, calm down!” But then you remember how excited you were the first time you visited the park and instantly get jealous of their excitement.

3. The fanatics.

They love everything Disney so much that they even get married dressed as “Ariel” and “Prince Eric” from The Little Mermaid. They’re also the ones who know where all the Hidden Mickeys are.

4. The people who bring their own food to “save money.”
$92 a ticket, who can blame them?

5. The hipsters.

Where did they buy that vintage Mickey Mouse sweater? And why are they Instagramming everything?

6. The early birds.

Getting there when the park opens sounds great. But then 3 o’ clock rolls around, and you’re all, “Coffee, anyone?”

7. The pin peeps.

They’ve been looking for that Cheshire Cat pin for years, and today might be their lucky day to find it.

8. The kids who are not having a good time.

You would cry too if you didn’t understand that all those giant characters weren’t real and seemingly trying to eat you.

9. The little princesses.

A few years ago, they didn’t seem to exist. Now, trails of glitter and the smell of Aqua Net are everywhere. EVERYWHERE!

10. The scooter gang.

AKA The Belle’s Angels.

11. The tourists.

AKA the people in line who don’t notice that they keep ramming into you with their giant backpacks.

12. The awkward daters.

Whether it be teens or recently divorced fortysomethings, there is something eternally awkward with two people making small chat over a Dole Whip.

13. The goths.

Keeping The Nightmare Before Christmas relevant since 1993.

14. The “injured.”

Is that even a real cast, or do you just want to cut to the front of the line on Indiana Jones?

15. The people who must take a funny picture on every ride that offers it.

Guilty as charged.

16. The people who snag seats for the parade really early.

You’re really going to sit down at noon for a parade that starts at 4:00 p.m.? If so, can I have your Fast Pass for Space Mountain?

17. The guy eating a giant turkey leg.

Trust me, you want to be this guy.

18. The grandparents.

“We’re just gonna sit down for a — zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.”

19. The newlyweds.

Gross. Cute, yes, but still gross.

20. The celebrity who is being privately escorted around and gets to go to the front of the line because they are better than you.

At least, that’s how most of us feel.

21. The guy who is there alone.

You want me to take your picture? Sure. Wait, why are you looking at me like that? No, I don’t want to ride “Splash Mountain” with you.

Funny, wonder why they didn't add something about the weirdos as Jim Gaffigan calls them. Weirdos: adults that go to Disney without kids. We fall into that category, we are actually the early bird weirdos!

I don't really fit into any of those :( Except sometimes 15 when I'm with a certain group of friends.

I laughed at "Belle's Angels" though :hilarious:

The only one we've fallen into lately was #6, early birds. We go at opening, then sometimes head back to the hotel for a nap and a swim in the afternoon, before returning for the evening. We hadn't had kids along until our recent trip, when we had our 12-year-old niece and then our 6 month old grandson with us. Next time we go up, I will probably be with a bunch of high school kids for "Music in the Parks". We will be the matching-t-shirt group, then!

BTW, the matching t-shirts really help if you lose a kid. My parents used to do that with us when we were smaller -- matching shirts, or matching sweatshirts. Then you can tell an employee what the missing kid was wearing!

I'd be the single guy if it wasn't for my daughter willing to go with me.
I have backed off the commando a bit over the years, but thankfully never made it to the fanatic stage! :)
