To hell with them. They’re just jealous that they’ll never do a Monorail Bar Crawl or Drinkin’ Round the World.

We have no kids and go every year! I have never experienced any hate while in the parks but certainly questions from family, friends etc. The thing is, lying on a beach or by a pool would drive me nuts! I like everything that Disney has to offer and enjoy just mooching around and people watching! The rides and stuff are a Bonus, but not a necessity.
Do what you want to do and don’t let the haters get you down! I couldn’t care less what people think of me because I am having too much fun!!!

I get quite a bit of "hate" for annually taking my kids to WDW. Many people just don't understand how special of a time that really is for me and my family. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but we've bonded more on WDW trips (running through the rain together, holding hands in the wave pool, playing games waiting in line for rides, letting in all out at 60 mph on test track, etc.) than on any other trips we've taken as a family.
I can't imagine the grief I'd get if I didn't have my kids as "an excuse." In reality, my kids aren't "an excuse." There's just something about WDW?
We love it!
I will admit, I have been irritated before by comments from people on this forum and others that complain about kids and/or kid-friendly modifications over the years that have been made at WDW becuase they don't have kids. And, honestly, I have snipped back at some of those comments. I understand nostalgia, and I am a big fan of keeping things original. But, at the end of the day, WDW is for families of all types, which includes both families with small kids and families without.

We took the whole family, eight of us from age three to eighty-nine, the first week in June and had a wonderful time.
However, the wife and I are going back for a week next March for our 45th anniversary. (FYI we did that for our 35th and 40th too.)
It is a TOTALLY different trip with just the two of us, and as much as we enjoy the family trips the "just the two of us" trips are extra special.

My wife & I have kids, but we've been to Disney several times without them. We've obviously taken them many times, but also been on a "Mom & Dad only" trip occasionally too. It's a great trip. It's a different trip without kids, but a fantastic time.

That's the thing though. I don't really believe it is a prevalent situation. Just like any large social gathering there will occasionally be a situation where it happens, but, for the most part, people in a place like WDW have a lot on their plate and mostly to much to give half a fart about what everyone else is doing. They are focused on what they themselves are doing, going, heading for, etc. Of course, if it happens to us personally, then we are far more vested in it then if we just heard about random situations happening.
I know that with that many people around and the general jerkiness of the new America there will be those that occasionally think it is their civic duty to set others straight about the way they think others should conform to their way of thinking. But, they are ignorant hillbilly's with no class and no reason to be listened too. Yes, I'll repeat it, they are no class, ignorant, hillbilly's and I for one am getting mighty tired of listening to their brand of stupid.
Yes, it's another name for the 4-letter T-word, though ironically the 4-letter T-word is fairly casually used there.

When I get really mad, I will use that T-word. Most people that I know don't know what that means so it's always been my "safe" word. It sounds more polite than the more commonly used other word

I have said this before, several times, that it is weird. I mean, it is a place primarily designed for children and their families. It is no different than going to watch animated Disney movies without kids.
In past threads on this topic, some good counterpoints were made. Like, Epcot. It is for any age. Maybe even AK too. But MK, that is a place for kids. ...or "kids at heart" ...which is a way to try and legitimize choosing MK over Vegas.
Now, a better way to look at it, is how weird is it, from 1 to 10. I'd give it a 4. Going to chuck-e-cheese without kids would be a 6. A brony convention, a 9. It is a range.
Star Trek convention, 4. In uniform, 7. In Klingon uniform, 8.
In the U.S. the "fanny pack" is named such because "fanny" is a light-hearted euphemism for the buttocks, where the pack sits when it's around in the back. In the UK, it's slang for the vulva, making it vulgar by Victorian standards. It's asterisked out because this is a UK board.
It's unfortunate that it is asterisked out because not only do you have the non-vulgar usage of "fanny pack", but because, as mentioned, it's not an uncommon nickname, such as Fanny Brice and even a Sesame Street character named Fanny. It even appears in the second verse of Jingle Bells.
But, it falls under the same problem as other vulgar nicknames that double as standard names/nouns, such as with Dick Van Dyke, which the board also asterisks out (unless you're personal friends with him), despite "Dick" being a common name on both sides of the pond.
Curiously, the board did not censor this for me.
Why would you go to a brony convention with kids?
Seriously, though, childless adults at Chuck E. Cheese strike me as more weird than anything else listed here.
Mulva?

One of the roles ofGrandarents is to dine with the younger kids while the parents go to a TS restaurant. Kids having nuggets in a TS reataurant is a waste.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with childless Disney fans...or Disney fans of really any demographic.
Life is short...have fun...you take nothing with you.
IF anyone doesn’t agree...send them to me. I Enjoy making people cry

Well, just like the "other" f-word in reverse. Slang for a cigarette there. As I understand it, even the N-word is way less offensive over there due to the lack of historical context.
I just go for the salads.
