Why do people hate Disney?

[Anonymous]

I mean I didn’t want to go to Disney before I had kids. Disney is a happy place for kids. My kids love it. We also go to national parks, beaches, lakes, mountains, deserts and cities. 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.

I found it boring. It’s 10 hours of waiting in lines for 10 minutes of total ride time, sweaty smelly people, and crowds...so many crowds. I see enough crowds on a daily basis living in nova. For vacations, I want space.

My kid enjoyed it, but even he has no desire to go back.

Overpriced, crowds, celebration of the most superficial aspects of capitalism?

It’s tacky. Noisy. The epitome of commercialism and marketing to young children. Manufactured “fun.” Appeals to lowest common denominator of vacationers.

So overpriced! I can book an incredible trip to Europe or the Caribbean for the same price.

And I find going to the Caribbean—most of the islands anyway—immoral. You’re supporting labor exploitation.

Meanwhile, I love going to Disney, Europe, and Asia.

Disney can also be fun for adults.

Some people don’t like waiting in lines or all the planning needed to not wait in lines all the time.

Some don’t understand why adults would want to spend money on WDW when they could take that same money and go to a national park, or travel internationally.

Some people think Disney is not a good corporation and do not want to give it money.

Some people haven’t been and have their own ideas.

Some people don’t enjoy the entertainment Disney provides.

And some people think disliking Disney makes them seem cultured and superior. It’s annoying.

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!

But see — that doesn’t fit with their superiority thing.

Twenty times to Europe and Asia for a kis? You travel too much.
