Disney Adults / Disneymania

Just a small dump.

How did this guy even get a job there in the first place? Even if he didn't upload it there'd still be a good chance he'd get fired for drinking the fountain water if not for just walking into private areas because they're unlocked. Also the scenario he described was fucking hilarious, Disney brought out a detective, a police sqaudron, and what I'm assuming are people from management to tell him to fuck off.

from what I understand when there's no immediate risk to anybody they like to be very thorough from a legal standpoint when telling somebody to gtfo so there's no room to fight it in court later

might be worth mentioning some of the good crazy disney people, like Mesa Verde Times

they discovered there was literally no security cameras in the old EPCOT Center ride "Horizons"

Martin Smith does crazy deep ride-through/ making-of / etc videos of lots of attractions

I would honestly never go to Disney World with anyone who has a whole list of requirements. Bruh, it's an AMUSEMENT PARK, chill

 

[GenociderSyo]

I took my mom on the disney wish when it came out and the people on the cruise may be more insane then the people in the parks. Cause you can't escape the insane disney adults on a cruise.

Dinner seating on the cruise is family style and that means if your group is below 6 people you will be put with strangers. One group of strangers we were with was so horrible to the wait staff demanding they werent disney enough.

Now the restaurants are all disney themed. Your wait staff acts like they are part of that themeing, so in Arendelle restaurant they act like the royal court, in Marvel they act like they work for stark. The kids are enthralled by it and these types of adults ruin it. In the Arendella restaurant Elsa makes the rounds and when she came to the table I was at there were 2 quite small children that wanted her time, but the assholes at our table DEMANDED their time with her actually in front of the children demanded that they were wasting time she could have.

Is it just me or is there a growing trend on Tik Tok where adults are just assholes to children? I've seen so many Tik Toks of men and womenchildren just being utter dicks to kids in theme parks and with rides. Pushing them out of line to rides, denying them a chance to go on a ride if the ride is closing for the day, throwing a fit if a kid gets greeted and interacts first with a cartoon mascot, stealing the last piece of toy merch from their hands, etc. It makes me so goddamn MATI seeing adults do this to kids. You had your childhood let these kids enjoy theirs. Being an adult isn't an extended childhood. Being an adult means having to give up childish things and put innocent kids before you. Jesus truly is weeping.

Im fascinated by these disneymaniacs, is it a purely American thing? I mean i like disney movies but i was also a child that grew up with it, i have fond memories of Tailspin and Little Mermaid. But any time i watch those disney videos of people spending HOURS at theme park i want to die on the inside i couldn't think of anything worse then queuing for hours for a 2 minute ride buying overpriced merch and eating shit fast food.

That's literally hell.

Could you post some of these Tik Toks? That sounds absolutely awful.

But yeah, I really don't understand these people. Maybe I'm just old, but there are few things in life more emotionally gratifying than seeing a little kid get all giddy and excited over something that's... well... made for children. Especially if it happens to be something you enjoyed as a kid. You probably wouldn't have wanted an adult to do that stuff to you as a kid, why would you want to do that to someone else's kid?

If I were to make a guess, I would have to speculate it's a form of arrested development combined with a sense of entitlement. Childhood trauma, especially sexual assault, seems to be capable of inflicting a wide variety of mental disorders, ranging from sociopathy, the previously mentioned arrested development, body/gender dysphoria, unusually high-pitched voices (no, really), and in some cases, outright pedophilia. It's not an understatement to say that we haven't yet begun to truly understand fully how the brain works, let alone how to fix it. I would bet real money that if you took any random Disney Adult and did a psychological audit on them, you would find some form of trauma in their past, even if it was something as simple as "I was bullied and ostracized by my peers in elementary school". That example I just gave might cause someone to develop a fear or hatred of children in the long term if left unchecked.

This is a bit off-topic but I want to bring it up as a case example. Some of you might be familiar with Brianna Wu, or as the Farms prefer to refer to him, John Walker Flynt. He's not important to this discussion but his husband, Frank Wu, is. Frank is almost always photographed with his best impersonation of the open-mouthed, smiling Wojak, thumbs up, and hunched over some object of joy. He's also accused of being a callous sociopath, has a penchant for engaging in childishly made arts and crafts (despite being capable of genuinely good art if he actually puts in effort), and in general, being unable to act his age in public. While there is frustratingly little information on him, we do one thing: his sister drowned when he was 12 and he was never able to properly grieve.

So if one Frank Wu is socially stunted and has sociopathic traits because of the trauma he suffered as a child, I have no doubt that many Disney Adults have some unresolved trauma in their past that might explain their current behavior.

TLDR: Having a fucked up childhood and no therapy makes you an even more fucked up adult.

Fun fact: This is a HSTS troon who iirc was transed as a young teen. He still has the large skull and male collarbones.

All these pointless rules just make an already stressful time torturous. There's no way you can predict the atmosphere of the park where you have your day planned out like this. "We ride this one first, we ride this one last, we ride this one at this time, we will be here at this time." Literally anything can happen, unless these people have been to the parks so many times where they can predict the atmosphere of the park then good god.

 

[GenociderSyo]

The spreadsheeting is insane that some of them too.

They leave nothing up for chance everything must be TOO THE MINUTE. Which may explain how they meltdown so bad when a ride is down or GASP they have to wait to be seated.

 

[Dom Cruise]

You know what was weird when I was a kid? It was 1989. Who Framed Roger Rabbit had just come out. My school had decided to do a school trip for all of us to go watch the movie. The teachers were probably Disney+WB! Kids'll love that!

Except the movie was actually a noir crime film. Most of the story shit went right over our heads as kids. But you went from watching Dumbo flying around trying to get peanuts. To a cartoon shoe get dissolved in fucking acid. From an implication that Jessica Rabbit was offering to bang Valiant to protect Roger. To the studio head getting shot while being choked out by a film editing machine. Some of the shit in that film scared the fuck out of me as a kid. "REMEMBER ME EDDIE? WHEN I KILLED YOUR BROTHER, I TALKED JUST. LIKE. THIS!"

And it's still rated PG.

I thought the fact that it was a world with cartoons but there was still elements of real danger was awesome and exciting, I think it's interesting that pretty early on they establish "just because someone is a cartoon doesn't mean they're invulnerable"

Judge Doom was freaky to be sure, but more than it scared me I simply thought "oh shit, how are they going to get out of this situation?"

This is one reason why 80s movies were better is even kid friendly stuff had a little extra edge to it to make it more exciting and compelling, everything's gone back to being pretty sanitized and "safe", the last kid friendly movie I saw like that was Toy Story 3.

I think part of the overall mania this thread documents isn't just people having bad childhoods, it's that sometimes childhood was a little TOO good and people desperately try to recapture that.

If you're in the millennial age group you've had to sit and watch as you grow up society go down in flames piece by piece over the last 22 years, I remember visiting WDW in 2000 and the incredibly hopeful vibe there was to everything, especially EPCOT capturing the mood.

So for a lot of people they associate Disney with not just the simpler times of childhood but the simpler times of the 90s in general, most recently too I think things have become extra manic with people trying to recapture life pre-Covid as well as a Disney vacation in general being a chance to try to escape the nightmare that is reality for a little while.

Mixed in somewhere in that sometimes is an inherent aggression towards kids as they can remind you what you've lost.

I don't bemoan people's nostalgia or escapism too much, but obviously it can be taken too far, like when you're messing with actual kids.

Yeah I remember seeing a lot of supposedly family friendly movies back when I was a kid in 80's and they almost had a horror element to them. Which for a child with an active imagination, was more scary, than me at 8 years old watching Robocop for the first time and seeing Murphys arm being blown off. Which, when I was a kid, was just shocking to me rather than scary.

Here's another obsessed binder disney-a-holic. She even laminates little cards for what they must do each day and hour.

Why are there so many of these?

Why so many Part 2s??? I have to believe some viewers are just using these videos as (bad) guidelines for optimizing their visits, but Jesus Christ who is encouraging these people to make more than one video? That's all it takes to figure out why they apparently don't have any friends willing to travel with them anymore.

Being forced up at 5am and dragged and micromanaged through a park by some woman-child in matching merch until close is bad enough... but not being allowed to tell them to shut the fuck up when they won't stop spamming Disney trivia is too much. I wouldn't be strong enough to make it through one day, much less a week.

I'd ditch ALL of them before leaving the hotel. Also, it's pretty sad that only ONE of them at least expects you to be a decent person to the characters

It's very likely that the world is going to be even more messed up when they're you're age, so it's important they get moments of happiness when they can.

I fucking love Enchanted Tales with Belle but I'm sure most of the Disney adults just sit there seething like "I wish I was that 4-year old I could act better than that"

I’d ditch them and go to Gatorland!
