As someone who grew up going to Disneyland in the 60’s and loved the parks all my life... until recently... I’d like to offer a bit of perspective. Everything changes. New regimes take control of businesses. Don’t count on WDW being the same (if it still exists) when you’re 99. Theme parks in general could be extinct by then, or have evolved into something completely different.
Funny this was in the articleAn interesting article I read today about Disney Adults.
Disney Adults Don’t Care If You Hate Them. They’re Having Fun Anyway.
For these "House of Mouse" fans, the brand offers more than childhood nostalgia. It's an ever-present lifestyle and they're not ashamed of it.
Like your mindset! Have a great time!
I LOVE this! I'm set to retire in 7.66 years (but who's counting?) I'm already planning a two-week Disney World trip to celebrate my liberation. My wife will join me for only one week (she says she can't handle more than that), and I'm looking forward to the solo time in WDW.
They did at one time. It was called Pleasure Island.
There was also some like teenager things back in the 60s In Disneyland I think.
I think this nails it for me. I don't know if I would consider myself a Disney Adult, but I guess I am one. When I think of Disney Adults, I think of Disney Adults
I think of a very specific and particularly grating kind of person who is obsessed to levels of cultist toxicity. But Walt had always said these movies and these parks are for everyone, and they really are magnificent works of art.Sounds cool but pretty sure this goes against Walt's core belief regarding the parks.
In the early days of Disneyland there were 'date nights' and I just found this on the Disneyland site. I think Walt would be considerably more concerned about the alcohol flowing in the parks and drunken guest behaviour than an adults only evening.
And don't listen to the people who have never set foot inside a Disney park, but, are quick to give you grief because you go. As a child growing up in a poverty stricken home, although we never really noticed it, Disney was an escape, going to see the latest Disney movie was a massive treat, they were never shown on TV except for clips on Disney Time. I was given a Movie Viewer toy as a main present one Christmas with two movies, Lonesome Ghosts and a Donald Duck goes camping one, with no sound either, but, I watched them over and over again. I go to Disney parks as an adult to fulfil my dreams and enjoy and admire the incredible themes, especially attraction lines, Everest has a sensational one with items genuinely from the region. I photograph and scrapbook so much of artistry modern guests don't look at twice. How many look above their heads as they race to the next attraction? The windows at DHS or the crates by the lake. I pulled the rope outside Indiana Jones and people looked at me angrily as if I were doing something wrong, but, if they read the sign properly they would know to pull the rope and listen.
