Ohh, now, I never said I was not guilty of all of the above.
I cannot resist any Star Wars Stormtrooper meet & greets.

Opportunity costs and crowd levels.
WDW has become very expensive compared to other options.
But.... if the crowd levels were not at claustrophobic levels I would still go.
It is a one-two punch for me.

And here you seem to be casting judgment about things you yourself like.Ohh, now, I never said I was not guilty of all of the above.

Why? For whose benefit? Certainly not your own.
Back in the day when Darth Vader and the stomtroopers were dancing to Michael Jackson during Star Wars Weekends on the small stage in front of Star Tours , that was classic. The Carrie Fisher meet and greet one year did not go so well when she was under the influence.Ohh, now, I never said I was not guilty of all of the above.

Do people really still say things like going to Disney without kids is weird? That's so 1990's.
It's ignorant. Not trying to be rude or anything but it's definitely a very closed minded way to think of people who are just doing something they enjoy

One of my friends believes this. She genuinely thinks it's weird to go to a Disney park without kids. I don't pay it any mind because that's a them problem and not a me problem.Do people really still say things like going to Disney without kids is weird? That's so 1990's.

The most unpopular opinion of the day!

Why? I thought this whole thread was an unpopular opinion thread.
I missed the part about not being too unpopular.
I just find it weird that people younger than me think like that.
I'm 49, we chose not to have kids. Majority of my friend group chose not to have kids, of course some have a family too. Many of my friends were going to Disney (land mostly) back in their 20's in the 90's without kids. I thought this archaic line of thinking ended with Gen-X.
lol...well because the reason your opinion is unpopular is because it's slightly offensive. Saying an offensive thing and labeling it unpopular isn't exactly what I meant by 'unpopular opinions'

My friend group and I are in our mid-late 20's. My friend that believes this is the only one of us that has kids. Disney is for everyone, not just those with children. On the flip side the childless people that complain about kids being at Disney at all are weird.

Yea...
I don't agree with your opinion at all, but isn't that the point of this thread?
Is it really 'offensive'? I fall into that category and I did not take it as such.

I don't think young people think this way.
More of an old-person thing. I am Gen X, so your statement holds true.
People have unpopular opinions on parenting too, but I won't be specific as some folks here apparently cannot handle playing the unpopular opinion game when it gets a little too unpopular.
I agree. I'm not offended by it. We'll go wherever we want!
Just think it's an old fashioned way of thinking.
I mean you may not find it as such, but calling a group of people 'weird' for doing something they enjoy is pretty across-the-board at least a litte offensive.
example: "star wars fans are weird." I mean if you tell someone they're weird for liking something, that's probably not going to go over so well
