[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Disney Adults need to get a hobby,” or visiting Disney is a “red flag”, these are common refrains. Yet comparable judgments are rarely, if ever, leveled at enthusiasts of other vacations: no one derides someone for frequenting Vegas, summering at the beach, touring Europe annually, or relaxing in Hawaii.

Disney visitors aren’t imposing on anyone financially, socially, or logistically—they aren’t asking anyone to fund their trip, accompany them, or manage their home in their absence. So why does this particular leisure choice provoke such disproportionate judgment, moral superiority, and indignation?[/quote]

Because Hawaii, Europe and Vegas are not intrinsically thought of/designed to be kid centric destinations.

In contrast when you’re stuck waiting with your toddler in a long line behind large groups of child free adults to ride dumbo or it’s a small world it’s honestly pretty off putting….akin to a group of adults monopolizing the swing set at a local city park.[/quote]
I mean, make up your mind. Is it “kid-centric” or is it overcrowded with adults? Which is it?[/quote]

Both things can be true…It’s a place that was designed to be kid centric which is now increasingly sullied by socially stunted adults.

Akin to when a group of teenagers decide to start hanging out at and effectively take over a playground intended for young kids. Not sure what is so difficult about this to understand.

This.  OP, no offense, but this is an awfully stupid question.

It's like asking, "Why are adults who watch Bluey and SpongeBob SquarePants subject to societal derision?  It's a TV show - adults who watch Succession, the Pitt and Industry aren't made fun of at all!"

I don't know what is more troubling - if you really don't know the answer, or if you are just pretending to be a flippin' moron.  [/quote]
