Why do people hate Disney?

Adults don’t have to like it, but they can.

It’s not just for kids.

Yeah-I actually just booked a trip for me and my dds' for May, as a 50th birthday present for myself! I live in FL so it's a short drive.

For me, I'm not at a time in life where I can travel for large blocks of time-there are many places I'd like to see when I retire and can take more time. I still have kids in school (one after this school year) so there is that too. Disney is right there to enjoy so we will!

I get not 'liking' Disney. I don't particuarly like Universal. But I don't 'hate' it or other places. Not interested in the Bahamas but don't 'hate' it. I think people who rail about hating Disney and all the people there and Fl and everyone in it, are probably not very nice people to be around on a daily basis. I feel sorry for those who have to interact with them.

No need. There’s a lot of us and we enjoy each other’s company.

Oh good. That spares the rest of us.

There’s fewer of you than you think, considering how popular Disney is.

But yeah — we don’t want to spend time with you, either!

Of course I would rather go to Japan or Hawaii but Orlando is an easy flight. Not like Disney is our only vacation but one of many.

I am talking about non covid times.

We all don't love the same things. Why do you need to know why?

Personally I do like Disney but get why some people don't. You do too as you said it in your first post. There are adults without kids who love it more than people with kids.

And that is ok.

This is so funny. I get that no everyone can do this but my kids have been to Europe and Asia probably 20 times and Disney a few. You can do both!

Dp. Not many people have that much vacation time and most of teavel involves visiting family.

It’s true, we Disney haters actually hate everything. We just sit home and stew in our hatred while you crazy kids go out and live life to the fullest. In Orlando.

Fast passes allow you to skip some of the line, but having to set all this up weeks/months before I go seems excessive.

We were given free lodging last minute in Orlando and decided to bring the kids down in October a few years back. We had about 2 weeks notice. Fast passes for the "good" rides weren't even available in such short notice.

I go on vacation to relax. Going to Disney felt the opposite of that - annoyance at the lines/crowds and stress the week or two before wondering if I did all that I could do.

I think a lot of it could be resolved if they put a max on the number of tickets sold per day. But we know that won't happen. Otherwise I feel like I spent close to $800/day to stand in line.

I would put this in the category of people who do not research how to have a good time at Disney. No way would I go with two weeks notice. That just does not make sense for Disney given the fast pass and planning/reservation approach to having a good time there.

This combo of words is one of the main turn-offs for me.

YOU DIDN'T WORK HARD ENOUGH TO RELAX!!!!!!!!! NO SPREADSHEET? NO FUN!

Could you waltz into Europe with zero planning and be able to do absolutely everything you want to do?

Yes

Then you’ve got low expectations.

You think the world operates like Disney. Sad.

I’ve been to 30 countries. What about you?

I actually plan my trips.

I was talking more about the fact that you just hate going to places like Italy during the summer. Horrible lines.

I tend to agree with this. I'm no Pollyanna, not by a long shot, but I find that it takes so much energy to be so actively negative about things that are of very little consequence. Its exhausting and people who do it never see it as being that way, they think they just "have strong opinions" or "know what they like". I have good friends even who are like this, they have several things that rise to the level of extreme dislike or hate, it always seems to coincide with people who tend to be high strung and anxious on the inside as well, I've observed. They are good people, I enjoy their company and care about them deeply but their laundry list of pet peeves and things they "hate" is just so weird to me . Like, dial it down, the world is hard enough without your negativity, Nancy.

That's the way DCUM works. See a recent thread of an innocent poster looking for a nice hotel in Ocean City, MD. Thread turned into OC sucks, and the only proper beach trip is staying at a Four Seasons or St. Regis resort in French Polynesia.

That's hilarious. Because it's so much easier to take a weekend trip to French Polynesia. Gotta love DCUM.

It’s the same sort of people who say they’d rather go to Africa or India for that cuisine than eat it at an African or Indian restaurant at Disney.

I mean, under that logic, why should anyone eat anything but American food here?

It’s a bit offensive to have an “African” restaurant. It’s a damn continent, is the food in Morocco identical to that of Zimbabwe?

Oh FFS. Would you say the same thing about Asian fusion, of which there are tons of restaurants across the world?

We are talking about this particular restaurant, “Tiffins”, which apparently bills itself as an African-Indian restaurant. If it were African-Asian I might be like, ok. But to single out one Asian country, and then throw in the entirety of the African continent, is a little lazy and offensive. Yes, I stand by my original statement.

Huh? What you’re saying makes no sense. But I know you want to be offended, so have fun.
