Disneyland Fan/Reason for Visiting Type: Categories & Where You Fit In

[BuzzedPotatoHead89]

Definitely the Walt Disney. If I had to chose I genuinely would rather visit the Walt Disney Family Museum again over visiting WDW (though I’m not opposed to seeing WDW again as an adult, either).

Definitely grew up with DL and the “classics” first and foremost and even did my 3rd biography grade project on Walt Disney. While I’m not opposed to change I am opposed to change for the sake change as opposed to the sake of improvement or “plussing” the park.

Also I’ve sought out Disney auctions, the Tam O’ Shanter, etc. I do have a general affection for old Hollywood writ large but overall but Walt Disney the man may be one of the most interesting to me.

Same here. I think you may understand where I’m coming from when I say that California is the true Disney World. As a Walt Disney/Disney Company history fan, looking at a surface level, I’m not too impressed with the other Disney parks around the globe, DCA included. I’d rather go to Walt’s Barn, visit the Walt Disney Studios, have a meal at Tam O’Shanter, etc. to get my Disney fix outside of Disneyland. With that being said, I wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit the other parks. I look forward to MK at the end of the month and when I eventually confirm plans for a trip to France possibly next year, I’ll see if I can squeeze in DLP for a day.

I'm probably 5% Walt, 45% Theme park, 55% Brand. I think where Walt and I align is animation and also I rather enjoy 'transport'. But, I'm also inherently travel motivated and a big fan of progress/change. I like new with an undercurrent of nostalgia.

I'd really throw another qualifier, which is generationally Disney Renaissance. I do not really self identify in real life that much with Disney however and have broader interests. Which is why I don't know if I'll ever really burn out on the company, there is always a feigned healthy distance.

Just to spin the categorization totally into more complexity.
