Why do Disney vacationers seem uniquely subjected to social vitriol?

They don't love Disney the same way someone loves Hawaii. It's different. They tell everyone they know, constantly bringing it up how much they love Disney.

When they have another trip planned, again, reminders that they love Disney. It just doesn't let up and is very annoying. Nobody I've met talks about other travel passions the way people talk about Disney.

Plenty of adults love Disney and don’t talk about it all the time. Shit, the partner I work for goes annually with his family and has mentioned twice that he loves it. He’s perfectly normal.

Have you met people obsessed with Japan and Korea?

You could work for my husband. We go every 12-18 months with our teens and really enjoy it. We don’t talk about it much (unless people seek us out for tips) and we travel other places. We aren’t on social media and don’t send out holiday cards so unless you actually KNOW us, you wouldn’t know.

I go to Starbucks but I’m not a FAN of Starbucks. I think it’s just brand fandom in general. I would also not be into someone who was excited about the new layout at the Target or wore Target merch.

I watched a documentary somewhere about mermaid people, people who wear tails in a pool and dream of being in a tank at the renaissance fair.

It’s weird! But some of them were just doing craft projects and weird performances with their whole hearts, and that was very endearing.

I think what makes people mad about Disney adults is they seem to be mostly into buying stuff that’s made for them. If they’re finding community and making stuff, like idk new princess identities or something, great! But if it’s about shopping, I think that’s lame.

The thread title is looking for explanations for vitriol!!!! RIF.

Correct. OP wants to know why people who don’t like Disney care so much about people who do. No one has answered WHY they care. They just toss out more insults without explaining why it matters to them. Why they can’t just ignore and move on with their life.

I don't like Disney. I do ignore and get on with my life, except when someone tells me I've deprived my children by not taking them. Then I explain the vapid consumeristic nature of Disney as a sterile fantasyland. Don't want my opinion, don't criticize me for not introducing my kids to that drivel.

And people who have no business spending that kind of money save all their money for two years to be able to go for a long weekend. So trite.

The vacation equivalent of CrossFitters, if you will.

No business spending that kind of money? This is barely the tip of the iceberg. People regularly don't think it's their responsibility to feed their own kids and spend money on useless crap, but nobody calls that out.

Just because not everything is called out, doesn't mean some things can't be

I think traveling halfway around the world so your kid can eat a cookie in a park is pretty wasteful. Think of all the good that could come from donating that money to worthier causes.

MULTIPLE posters explained why they hated the adults who did Disney and took up all the spots in line for the characters. I’ve never had that problem so I don’t have a dog in that fight but to say that no one answered why they care is to say you didn’t read a single one of the 20+ pages that proceeded your inane post.

That’s it? That’s the reason? It’s not fair their kids have to stand in line with adults?

Yeah, that’s dumb. If your kid is old enough to get something out of the Disney experience, they are old enough to wait their turn. Little kids that can’t handle lines do not need to go to Disney and they certainly don’t need to pose for a photo with Donald Duck when they’re too young to GAF. If you, the parent, care about getting that photo, okay. Cool. Wait your turn. But this isn’t the case of adults ruining experiences for kids.
