Hello everyone! As a Disney adult, I wanted to see if these cringy Disney adults people talk about are really that cringy! Let me know your opinions below!
Little correction - I know people go to the parks to just eat and drink but I thought she was referring to people who spend thousands to go on vacation!
@@CleverGirl48 There is alcohol in several restaurants at California Disneyland now, and if you can get into the bar in the Star Wars land. California Adventure has alcohol at a lot of locations.
Not a Disney adult myself, but the only cringy people in this video were the ones whining about adults having innocent fun, and the one at the end trying to make Mickey uncomfortable.
I was so angry on Mickey's behalf. I was ready to tell him to back tf off. I was reading all kinds of unspoken emotion in that mouse's face. Even his artificially molded smile looked uncomfortable to me 😂
@@brittanymetelus Yeah I don't like that. Go to Disney, have fun, heal your inner child or whatever, but don't be a creep. There's probably a 20 yr old girl in that costume just trying to afford to finish college.
But then, didn’t it look like the guy who went in for the hug was crying when he came out? His face was all red. Like, maybe his plan was satire but the hug got the better of him lol.
I teared up while I was at Disney World because growing up, it seemed like such a far fetched idea that I'd ever actually be able to go. We couldn't afford much, didn't even do basic vacations so it just seemed so out of reach. Just a dream. As an adult, my husband and I made it happen and I'm not sorry that it was a little emotional for me.
We went to Florida as kids, with my mom, bc my grandma lived there. My dad never went, he always worked. We've never went on a family vacation, and I now have my own family and have no hopes of being able to go anytime soon, so yeah, I can see how ppl get emotional bc it's sometimes so much more than just the park.
And this is why I wouldn't make fun of someone getting emotional at Disney! So many poor kids dream of going to Disney parks! You don't know someones struggle like let them live!
This is exactly what I was gonna comment! People go out, buy their favorite football player’s jersey, wear it every time a game is on, paint the faces and have season tickets so they can go to a game every chance they get. This is the same thing as a Disney adult!
ecxatly, I also think that screaming to men kicking balls and thinking they are listening to you are cringe and weird as hell, so let's not s* on each other hobbies
I’m a single mom and never thought I’d be able to afford it on my own, and worked my ASS off to get my kids there and also, my daughters are both autistic and I always thought it would be a sensory nightmare for them, and I finally got them to the point where they’d be ok and have a good time, again with a lot of hard work and sensory therapy. We didn’t even have to see the castle, we simply walked in the gate and saw the flowers and I broke down and ugly cried 😩 I’m not even a crier, like I can literally count the number of times I’ve cried in my 40 years lol I think it was all bottled up 😭 people probably thought I was a lunatic
You are absolutely amazing! And don't you dare call thst an ugly cry. That was a happy cry and one you deserved so very much. Seriously you sound like an absolutely incredible mother ❤
When I see people crying like that at Disney, especially if they have kids, I don't think they are a lunatic. I always assume they have a reason and a story that brought them so much emotion in that moment. It really is a beautiful thing to work so hard to give your kids that magic and have it finally work out.
That girl was so cringe for calling out women who go to the park to... Have fun ?? That's the point ? When will we let women do what they want without critiquing them 😭
Right? I mean, my husband and I had the most fun the day we let the teenagers stay at the hotel pool. Just the two of us adults having the time of our lives at the park, living our best Disney dreams.
The crying at the castle thing, imagine this: you’ve always loved disney, always wanted to go, never had the money, never went as kids, maybe had a really tough childhood, worked for years and years really hard to save up money because of how expensive it is, decades later you FINALLY go. It’s emotional for some not because it’s the castle but what it represents for them! It’s a dream, it’s magical to finally go. I get it!
This was me as I said in a comment myself. I hadnt gone for over 20 years and never thought I would get to go back due to things like money, so I cried a little when I got through the underpass at Disneyland Paris(wasn't even seeing the castle).
One thing I will never understand is why some people think that there's an age restriction for hobbies and interests. Why would my interest suddenly change just because I turned a certain age???? "Oh yes, I am 30 now, time for my personality transplant where I will no longer like the things I liked yesterday." 😂
Umm I would hope most people change and evolve their interests from when they were 5. Yesterday? What do your interests at 29 have to do with the topic at hand?? The argument is Disney parks are for young children. I personally don't get the fascination, I think it's a regression thing for some, some sort of coping mechanism but it's harmless so who cares.
Good Lord. Okay. PSA that "Disney Rash" is a Heat Rash. Kay? That is a Heat Rash. Wear sunscreen, drink water, wear LOOSE clothing, and if you're prone change the clothing item that covers the rash frequently. So carry spares. Shower is COOL water and do NOT do ANY type of exfoliating. Aloe vera and/or a heavy duty moisturizer are great to apply AFTER cleaning the skin. Do NOT pop any blisters that may appear. Key take aways LOOSE and BREATHABLE clothing. *Edit* the rash I'm referring to is the one on her calves. Chafing and heat rashes can look very similar so where it is on the body can give some clues. Like the thighs and under arms are harder to tell the difference places. Calves it's usually gonna be heat rash. But you can get a heat rash anywhere you are wearing very restrictive clothing and sweating a lot.
The Plus Sized Disney Park Hoppers usually do info videos for people who are worried about fitting on rides. They rarely editorize unless they are talking about restaurants.
@@feelthejoy it appears on my dad's shins. Its really weird and a little random. Totally understand the chafing business. I would say that is way more common, but yeah, some people's legs get a little blochy for some reason. My theory is that their bodies aren't used to the heat and humidity
@@AnthonyJMurph hmm and maybe bc the more you walk around the more the blood pools in lower legs. Maybe a combination of the swelling/capillary action and the heat rash.
I looked up that woman shaming other women for going to Disney and her account is all about "organic eating," so I think she's just crabby from avoiding food with seed oils.
I rly thought it was ironic and she was going to show herself doing those things but no, she's really just that miserable and broadcasting herself just being a loser. I have no interest in Disney but a lot of grown adults are into way worse more degenerate shit yk
For the lady who doesn't get it - you don't need to get it. It clearly isn't for you, which is fine, but the people who enjoy it are having fun and not hurting anyone, so why on earth do you care? It isn't for me either, but I understand that other people enjoy things that I don't enjoy, and that isn't a problem.
I cried at the castle one time. First visit after the pandemic. Not sobbing but just stood there, looked at it and teared up a bit. A cast member came up beside me and we just stood together looking at it. Then he said, "It just makes you feel like things are going to be ok, doesn't it?" It was such a sweet moment and that was exactly what i was feeling. Disney is a place i can have fun and leave adulting behind for a bit. I wouldn't say im a full on Disney adult, but i do enjoy the atmosphere.
That's actually really sweet & understandable. Disney is, unfortunately, a big part of our lives. Which is a good & bad thing. But this is such a sweet story, tbh I probably would have cried with you too❤ I do love disney, not crazy love, but I appreciate what it did for us growing up.
Adulting is so hard. I've noticed a lot of people I've spoken to who are into Disney have childhood trauma and/or mental illness, so it makes sense that they find comfort in children's movies and make believe. I enjoy kids films because they're "safe" -happy, not going to upset my anxiety, etc.
I've attended a lot of anime conventions from the 2000s to 2010s. These TikTokers are way too sheltered if they think Disney Adults being excited is cringey.
There's an Ohio con that's always held at a combination hotel and indoor waterpark, so there's always a lot of middle-class families with young children staying there at the same time the con is going on. I have a vivid memory of the look on this Midwestern couple's faces as they, along with their 2 children, stood in line for icecream cones behind a 6ft+ adult man in a Lolita maid outfit with kitty ears 😂
lets be serious here. theyre are both extremely cringe. but being a disney adult is slightly more cringe for corp bootlicking. even the most degenerate sewer dwelling weebs dont do that
Some Disney adults take it too far, like when they make the employees uncomfortable; but generally, if someone enjoys something and they're not hurting anyone, why does it matter? Just let and let live. If they don't like it, they can go do something else with their time that doesn't involve bullying people for having fun. And that guy talking about emo adults, didn't really seem to understand his own point. Great video, Robert!
People act pretentious about things they deem as "immature". It's giving an extension of I'm "popular" and you're *not* from middle school. Which is cringe in itself
That’s how I see it😂 I’m gonna be a Disney adult rn, but it’s like how Riley from Inside out 2 pretended to not like that boy band because the older kids looked at her weird😂
Yeah, things associated with children are looked down on, degraded, deemed inappropriate. 99% of the time for no logical reason at all. There's a difference between liking "immature" things and being an immature person. There's also a point to be made that there are two definitions of childish, one that includes immature qualities and one that distinctively does not. As well that the phrase child-like exists to define good traits an adult has that happen to be common in children as well. Yet many people exist in a world that being compared to a child in any way is an insult and they will use it as such. It's a not-so-covert way of signaling to others that you look down on children, in my opinion.
I'm not a "Disney adult," but I'm a total dork (video games and TTRPGs). If someone made a TikTok criticizing how I spend my time and my money, I'd pity them for being so short-sighted. If you like chilling at Disney, then go. If you're not hurting anyone or violating any laws, dress and spend your money however you like. Happiness can come in many forms.
There are plenty of people who mock gamers of all kinds, but it's no surprise to find out none of them have ever played a TTRPG or a video game at all, therefore don't know what they're even bitching about!
Ya know what's worse than adults who are "too" excited in Disneyland/world? Sulking adults complaining about it!!! Also, it's expensive to go to the parks so maybe they saved for a long time and they want to do it up big!
And if they can afford to do it more often, then let them. I would go to the parks regularly if I could afford it. What is the difference between that and having a designer bag collection, or collecting fantasy figures, or being super into sports? It's so cringe to care so much about what makes other people happy.
I do notice that people only seem to criticise women who are Disney Adults and not men who are Disney Adults, when one of the most famous Disney Adult celebrities is Chris Evans (Captain America not the British Chris Evans lol) who is a big manly man and somehow doesn't get made fun of as a Disney Adult 🤔 His entire family loves Disney, he's a big theatre kid dork, he would absolutely be made fun of for it if he was a woman.
10:22 "You're spending money on this and you don't have kids". Now that triggers me a whole lot. I'm not even a full blown Disney fan tier 1. I just love my princesses and Mickey & friends and have never been to any Disney spots (still on my bucketlist). But as a 35 years old woman and currently trying to conceive, how dare you! Do any of those people owe your money or something? Why the saltiness, lady?
And she doesn't consider those of us who can't have children at all. Am I not allowed to have fun because I had to have a hysterectomy? People judt don't think. I hope you're doing okay and that things go well ❤
@@SprocketsandLupins 1000000%! I'm glad i'm not on tiktok. It seems some people are losing their own braincells and heart putting their contents out there. And you too, stay strong❤️💪
We have bounded a lot as a family together. The only issue I've had is when full grown adults push my kids out of the way to meet a wandering character. Other than that, happy that they are happy ❤ life is short. Let's enjoy it
I'm doing my nails while watching and every time I glance at the screen, Robert has a different hat. I love it but it's messing with me at the same time 😆
All those people going "How dare these adults spend their own money to enjoy themselves in whatever way they see fit without hurting anyone" is giving jealous 🙄
People need to stop shaming others for their joy. Newsflash, life SUCKS, so if you can find even a shred of happiness, take it. What I see are adults reliving the delight that they had as a child. Who wouldn't want that back? Now excuse me while I go do my taxes or whatever BS adult stuff I need to do.
Absolutely! My niece and nephew are still young and we are going on our 3rd and last Disney cruise (Halloween). Do I have more costumes than they do? Yes 🙌 😂 this is what I want to do, & sadly it’s our last family vacation (because of my parents cancers, brothers brain tumor, and I just got diagnosed with fibromyalgia). If you give me attitude about having fun dressing up like a GIRLY pirate, mermaid, and Jack Skeleton, I will go full on Hulk on you! 😠🫶. So, keep any negative vibes away! I need to remember these moments! 🥰♥️
@@chrisputnam8055from one pain warrior to another - live your fantasy! I've never been on a cruise because of my chronic pain, so do a little bit extra for me
I might be projecting but there’s a part of me watching these Disney adult clips and feeling jealous that I don’t have something that brings me that kind of pure joy, then I watch the clips of people ragging on them and I think it’s that same jealousy taking an ugly form.
10:11 It’s 2024. Nice people don’t tell other people what to do with their “grown body.” I’m sure it’s rage bait but she sounds like the kid who is mad because they want to play boring grown up and all the other kids want to play…Disney! I love that imagination & play last longer into adulthood for younger generations (I’m gen x). I thought it was biological somehow, it’s been delightful to learn it’s social and people can genuinely enjoy “playing pretend” in a healthy way for their whole life, without having to invest in an intense hobby like community theater or re-enactment (which are awesome, but simply not feasible for most people).
I dislike the idea of people being like "oh you're an adult, you can't enjoy this any more. You have to grow up." Like no, enjoy what you enjoy. Sure some people are cringey with it and should learn to not be so immature, but otherwise where's the harm? It's not like you're stealing the joy from the children. It kind of harkens to the idea of how we think people should age and mature over time. Like oh you're 30 now so you can't do this and you can't wear that it's too young for you, no! Enjoy life in the way that makes you happy. People who criticize you for it are the ones with the issue and should not be allowed to control you.
As someone who didn’t really watch Disney outside of like the “normal” amount, and who has no other associations with it, it does come across as weird 😅. But it’s no weirder than that girl who was screeching Taylor Swift lyrics or men who paint thier whole bodies for football. It’s not my story but I’m glad you’re happy as long as you are being respectful of others I guess!
3:07 The ‘Disney Rash’ is Cholinergic Urticaria. It’s a rash / hives that is triggered by exercise, heat, and rubbing. It’s more common in overweight people, I don’t know why but there’s probably a scientific article that explains why. I’m not overweight but I get it on my legs and forearms if I’m walking outside in the heat, even if it’s only for a few minutes. I have super sensitive skin, so even my cat booping his nose on my leg will cause a welt. I like to say I’m allergic to exercise lol
I have done work backstage for plays and musicals and anytime we used glitter for props, costumes or sets was the worst! We called it stage herpes cause you could never fully get rid of the glitter.
I’m 62 years old, and a big part of my childhood memories were wrapped up in Sunday evenings in front of the B&W TV with my siblings with a bowl of popcorn, watching “Wonderful World of Disney”. Another was going to the drive-in to see the Disney cartoons piled in the back of my dad’s station wagon in our pj’s… I’ve never been to Disneyland or Disney World, but my older sister did for the first time last year - SHE wept at the sight of the Disney Castle, and I wept with her when she told me the story…. Some people simply don’t “get it” like others do, I guess…
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. It made me misty-eyed because my husband (60), who is a little older than me, has the same fond memories of WWoD on their B&W tv, all his siblings, and pancakes for dinner made by his dad every Sunday as a tradition. We're still very lucky to have his Dad around, and DH and I kept up at least one Sunday night a month of pancakes and a Disney movie. Our young adult children are busy but always make time for it--this past Sunday was The Cat From Outer Space. 😼
Same!! I grew up with Mickey Mouse Club, Disney movies, etc. Love sharing classic Disney with my grandbabies now (they’re 5). And full disclosure: first time I met Pluto…tears!🤷🏼♀️
History bounding, which is what I do, owes a huge debt of gratitude to Disney bounding, because it essentially came out of what Disney bounding people do. Both Disney bounding and History bounding is an attempt to evoke either a particular character or a particular era of history, mostly using modern pieces of clothing, and how full on or accurate you want to go is up to you. If it wasn't for seeing people Disney bounding, I might never heard of the concept of History bounding, and missed out on getting involved in something that I find a lot of fun.
I didn’t cry when I saw the castle at Disneyland Paris, but I was pretty emotional at the fireworks show. I felt nostalgia in full force because, as a kid, it wasn’t even feasible for me to go to Disneyland, much less Disneyland in Paris. We immigrated to Germany from Nigeria. Granted, we had been to the local fair before, but we always had a very, very strict budget. We were allowed one and a snack that everybody would share. So, realising this dream by myself at age 24/25 with a really good friend made me feel all the emotions. I wasn’t a Disney adult before my trip but classify myself as a Disney adult level 1.5 now.
FACTS, and I’d say fandoms just in general, my favorite ABSOLUTELY UNHINGED fandoms are the Bungou Stray Dogs, Twisted Wonderland(they’re the least on my list), and Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss(they exist in the same universe). I love all of them but the fandoms are INSANE.
The world is a difficult place. If being a Disney adult makes these people happy, it’s fine with me. Also, I’ve found the older I get the more I will cry at the slightest thing, so I won’t judge anyone too harshly for getting emotional at seeing the castle.
I can't afford to go to Disney but it looks fun to me too! Definitely on my bucket list to do someday. I'd love coming up with a creative outfit to represent a character I love
I have a feeling that it's often very young adults, around 18-25 who don't understand a lot of things. Because that's the time of your life when a lot of changes happen to most people. It's only after they actually grow up and get the first hand experience of that "wow, I'm almost 30 now and I still don't feel any different" when they understand that you can actually enjoy things freely and not mind that much what others might think about it. As long as you're not hurting anyone, cherish your inner child. It honestly brings so much joy in life. There seriously aren't that many things I could think of that would be exclusive to children only. The child in you doesn't disappear anywhere as you grow up, you just learned to take care of your self, take responsibility, function in a society, but at your core, you're still you.
I used to be VERY insecure in my late teens/early 20s (to the point of an existential crisis) just because I never really felt like a “proper” adult beyond the basic stuff. After hitting my mid/late 20s, I’m now in the process of actually deconstructing the societal notions of “proper adulthood.” It’s increasingly apparent that these so-called “proper adults” are the truly immature ones who’re so afraid of being their authentic selves. Not much different than the repressed children who try so hard to fit in.
My biggest issue with Disney adults is that disney is a monopoly that encourages hyper consumption among their fans. “You need this outfit, this limited edition item, this vacation package with extra features, etc.” I’m far more bothered by the fact that it is billion dollar, morally bankrupt corporation taking advantage of artists and people’s nostalgia and who could care less if you died on their property, than people just wanting to enjoy themselves. But at the end of the day, people are free to do what they want. I’m not immune to the joy of nostalgia. And if I know someone who really loves Disney, I bite my tongue, because I don’t want to dampen their joy (unless it come up in conversation). Shame the company, not the people
The way I separate the consumerism from the joy is this: The staff at the parks, the ride operators, the imagineers who come up with beautiful ideas, the builders who construct elaborate and reliable machinery, are all there out of love and passion for their work and the opportunity to bring others a sense of wonder. The company isn't its employees. And the things that people genuinely enjoy about the parks aren't the corporate parts, it's the human connections and the art.
thiiiis. i used to be a Disney passholder for a WHILE and was straight up heading up there practically every weekend(when it was affordable basically), but seeing Disney for what it is made me disconnect ESPECIALLY this past year with some of their more morally bankrupt decisions/business moves. seeing friends who hold the same values as myself still dedicating every other day to spending money at Disneyland and MORE is some disappointing shit. good for them for having fun... but at the same time... 😐😔😕
I understand where you are coming from, but what you are describing can be nearly any large American company. You could say the same thing about Apple, Universal, Oprah, etc.
As I understand it they've been trained for it especially Mickey as it's quite common. Sometimes it's a nostalgia thing, a link to childhood, the joy of what life was like, reliving Disney memories, an escape from the real world, which can be hard, a dream realised, links to lost relatives (why I sometimes tear up during the fireworks), and on the really sad side it's some kind of trauma/childhood issue. I listened to one person who absolutely broke down with Mickey and apparently she'd been SA'd as a child and all that gave her comfort was a toy Mickey Mouse. When she met 'Mickey' she unexpectedly broke down and Mickey just held her. Heartbreaking. 💔
Imagine being in a thick, heavy, sweaty costume in an already hot climate, and having to hug people for as long as they want for hours a day. I hope they’re paid well!
10:49 it’s ironic because the people who are only at Disney to eat and drink, and don’t want to go on the rides, that’s the grumpy dads who don’t want to be there, not the Disney adults 🤣🤣
LMAOOO You're not wrong! 😂 By her logic, I guess my trip to Vegas was a waste of time? I spent 1200 dollars to stay in Caesars Palace, I didn't gamble, I didn't drink, and I didn't go to the pool. I went to an expensive ass concert in expensive clothes and makeup, and then ate crepes at the Paris. 😂 Oops. Like damn, people just have to be so bitter about the dumbest things!
I cried the last night of my honeymoon. We never thought we would have ever been able to have our honeymoon there at that point in time. Disney seriously gave us the best honeymoon experience. Tons of freebies, champagne, embroidery on our ears! I’m sure things have changed in 7yrs. The music, fireworks, and us both looking at each other at the same time will be a moment I will never forget. 🖤
My mom was a single mom and couldn’t afford to take me to Disneyland when I was little. The first time I went I was 28 and I definitely cried and was ecstatic when I got to meet my princess, Cinderella! Since then I’ve been to Disneyworld once and cried on the Avatar ride Flights of Passage. I went back to Disneyland with my sister, and again for my honeymoon with our wedding party where I cried on Rise of the Resistance. I’ve traveled to Europe, South America, all over the US and Canada and Disneyland/world are still some of my fondest memories! I will never stop going because it truly is the happiest place on earth 💖💖💖💖
Everyone has 'their thing' that brings them joy. Some people in the video's need some joy in their lives. I worked with a young lady for almost 10 yeears that was on the spectrum & we connected on our mutual love of Disney. One year she went on a Disney cruise for her birthday & I gave her a Disney t-shirt. For my birthday she asked her mom to make me Minnie Mouse cupcakes. Some coworkers thought it was cringy but to me it was special to be able to connect with someone over Disney when most people didn't know how to approach such a lovely & kind person.
I don't care what people do up to a point. Thank you for pointing out the one girls who were wearing the dresses walking around waving to everyone like they were princesses. That's when things get dicey and i understand why Disney puts restrictions on what people wear. Yes, enjoy yourself but also be aware that you are indeed NOT one of the characters and act accordingly. A kid may get confused and think they are cast and that doesn't sit right with me. ALWAYS keep an eye on your children. Just because someone dresses all cutesie doesn't mean they aren't a possible threat to others.
What's worse with those two is they are hired by Hong Kong or Tokyo Disney. At least, the redhead is, I follow her on Instagram. They are friends with princesses and it's like all the rules just go out the window in those videos of them in those dresses.
"I don't get going to the parks just to eat and drink, that's kind of strange." Hi, it me. 🤣 I don't go on a lot of rides bc I get motion sick VERY easily and I just never know when it's going to hit. That nausea comes on fast and takes forever to go away and I just don't feel like spending the rest of the day AT DISNEY being queasy. Doesn't sound like a good time. I am a foodie and spend the vast majority of my time at Epcot when I go to Disney World, though, bc I just love the World Showcase. I don't consider myself a Disney adult but my family has an annual pass and we live within a couple hours of Disney World. I don't get why people have issues with it, though? These are adults who are embracing their inner child and just having fun. What's the problem? I don't get it. Especially when they start coming after adults who don't have kids. Go be miserable somewhere else.
About the chick complaining about adults going to Disneyland, and just eating and drinking and not going on rides. There are many medical conditions out there, that can contribute to not being able to go on rides. She doesn't know if that's a factor or not, whether it is or isn't a factor, who cares? Like it's their life, they aren't hurting anyone or themselves, it isn't affecting you in any way, so why do you care? People these days....
I’m AuDHD (and have ptsd) and Disney has been my special interest since I was in the womb! I’m now 35, have an annual pass, wave at characters, queue for meet & greets, go for food or shopping, cry with joy at certain things because I feel pure happiness when I’m there and a sense of belonging. I can talk about Disney non stop there and no one will stop me or change the subject. It’s the one place I feel safe. And I know this can be the case for a lot of people. But I also agree there are people who are way ott and even mean about their love for Disney.
I’m also AuDHD and though I am not a huge Disney fan (though I’d definitely like to visit a park one day!) I am 44 and have other “immature” special interests so I get it. I feel like a lot of Disney adults are likely also on the spectrum and this is their special interest which is why they seem to be over the top about their Disney love. Special interests go HARD and neurotypical people sometimes don’t understand the almost transcendent joy that neurodivergent people can feel from indulging in them.
Same! My daughter is AuDHD as well, we just went on our first trip without our companions. It was tough, but we took a lot of breaks. I have absolutely zero attachment to Tinkerbell or the MK show (mom always skipped it when I was a kid), but I literally can NOT avoid tearing up when Tinkerbell flies🤣
People like what they like, if adults want to go to a Disney park in costume or not, wear mouse ears, go round hugging characters, and generally having a nice time then what’s the problem? No ones bats an eye at ComicCon and other similar events. Which reminds me of the time I went to a local Comic and SF convention years ago dressed as danaerys Targaryen. I had made 3 dragons out of chain maille, which I was insanely proud of. All day people who had dressed up were having others come up and ask to take pictures, and most happily did. Then 2 little boys came up to me and asked me if they could take a photo with me, to which their mum kind of side eyed and asked them if they knew who I was dressed up as (they were only about 7 or 8, way too young to be watching GoT). They replied of course of they knew, I was Katie Price! 🤣🤣🤣 The mum was mortified, but I managed to keep from laughing long enough to get the photo, lol
This is one of the nicer videos I've seen about Disney adults. Which is refreshing because what a lot of ppl who criticize Disney Adults seem to forget is that many of these ppl are on the spectrum. Obviously, not all of them, you can't tell from just a video. But. So. Many. People. Make fun of ppl who exhibit ASD behaviors. If ppl aren't hurting anyone, just leave them tf alone.
My Mum and stepdad moved from the UK to Texas in the 1980s. I stayed here, got married and had my first child. We would go over to visit. When my son was turning five, they arranged a surprise trip to DisneyLand. As we were going through the gates at Disney, I remembered that every time my son had seen a character costumed person back home, he'd been scared and burst into tears. I quickly bent down and whispered to him that the characters he is going to see inside the park are only people wearing furry suits. "They are not real". You don't need to be afraid of them. "They're not real". When we were inside he was fine but I found Mum and myself, pointing out the characters and waving to them as we called out their names. I think I was mentally an 8 year old when I was there. Cringey? Maybe but we all had a fabulous day out. Mickey came down from the float to form a conga line in the parade, he pulled my son and (I pushed my Mum) to dance in the parade to Conga by Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine. I also remember getting headbutted in the shin by tiny goats.
I loved the girlie meeting Donald. I got way too excited for captain hook and explained to my toddler how awesome he is haha she's 2 and just wants to see mike and sulley 😂
The Donald Duck girl is relatable. I'm not even close to being a Disney Adult, I literally only went once to Disneyland Paris when I was 9 years old, BUT I would genuinely fly all the way to the US and wait hours to get a picture with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. He's the only character where I'd go crazy over simply because he's so rare to see and I grew up playing Epic Mickey. I love this rabbit idgaf if it's considered cringe.
My first time to Disney I was 30 years old. After three decades of a parasocial relationship with Disney finally I was there, it was real. I made it most of the day perfectly emotionally stable, but then it happened. Princess Tiana was right there in front on me smiling, waving, winking. Cut to Niagra Falls. Being an adult version of the child who was raised in front of a television screen, holding back the complex emotions that were triggered would have been more harmful than helpful.
5:57 I'm level 1 lol. I don't understand why people get so triggered though.. Let people go to Disneyland and have fun as long as they behave. Who is it harming?
You’re forgetting a generation. I’m a 54 yr old gen X-er. We don’t give a crap what people say. If we want to be over the top with Disney makeup and outrageous clothes, we’re going to to do it. 😂❤️
Got a few things to say, since this video made me really happy for some reason! 1: I replayed the Rapunzel scene five times & was a little teared up, that was so sweet! 2: I've heard that it's a tough place to work though, not a whole lot of pay or employment rights, but that's also a general issue in the U.S., from what I gather? That does worry me a little... 3: I haven't been on a proper holiday for maybe two decades, I desperately want to break that streak with a trip to somewhere spectacular, like Disneyland! I wanted to do something nice for my 40th but lockdown screwed that up 😭 So I'm going to make certain that my 50th is something _special..._ 4: If I'm going to Disneyland it'll cost a fortune so I'm gonna go ALL IN. I don't care what anyone else thinks - I'm gonna dress up, do the Disney-bound thingy, get glitter in all the cracks - whatever people do there, I'm damn well going to get my money's worth! I'M GONNA DO IT ALL! I should also probably start saving up now 😅 I don't have any friends who'd want to go to Disneyland, but then again that'd mean I can do whatever I want when I get there, right?
When I worked in Florida, as an international cast member, I feel they really looked after us but I do think that wasn’t the case for a lot of other cast members! I hope you get to go and have the best time!! 🖤🖤
Emo being talked about like the anger phase of teens is telling. If you can't stand people expressing themselves or showing any kind of uniqueness just say so and move to the woods without electricity and tiktok.
It's a soft rule and not official. The idea is that you don't know how that person's day was or what they're going home to when the trip ends. Don't exploit it. Don't ever. Exploit it. Please. It comes from an interview from someone who was "friends with Snow White". If you know, you know. She gave a lot of insight on what her job was like and how she personally handled things. Her belief was to never be the first one to let go. So it's not really a rule. It's a choice. Don't abuse it. But if you REALLY needed that hug to be a little longer and you're an adult? Don't feel ashamed that it's there. But don't abuse it if you didn't really need that.
I live in florida, i have an annual pass. I go to Disney world every 3-4 months. Ive never missed a Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (except 2020 😡) I'm an adult with no children and i go to eat and drink 🤣 I hate roller coasters, they terrify me. Albeit i do ride the "game" rides - toy story mania, buzz lightyear and the "viewing" rides - pirates of the Caribbean, Small world but very seldom ride any rides when i go. I spend most of my time in Epcot eating around the world and drinking all weekend and i absolutely love it!
The Disney Rash happens to all kinds of people, but mostly those overweight (guilty as charged on that). Its probably a combination of things. My theory is that alot of the guests come from the colder a drier part of US (East Coast and Midwest) so their bodies aren't ready for the heat curtain that is Orlando.
So… I have a Disneyland pass. We go at least once a month. Going to Disneyland for Foodie experiences is totally normal. These people just hate fun lol. We don’t go on ride most of the time lol. But like, if we want to do that for fun what’s wrong with that. Maybe we go on one ride… or watch a parade or whatever. We don’t cry. We don’t do anything crazy. My sister and I used to work there. Meh people can f-off really. Why can’t people have fun?
It's so messed up that that PSA about heat rash was shared to Rob as "Disney adult cringe". What's so cringeworthy about it? The fact that the women in the video are fat? That they're having a reaction that can happen to anyone under the heat regardless of size? While I can't deny that cringe as a concept kind of piques my bile interest, cringe as a culture is definitely just a weird form of social shaming. Back during the heyday of cringe culture, it wasn't uncommon to see "cringe comp" videos of people that were just... existing. Their behavior wasn't socially unacceptable or even just embarrassing, they were literally just doing something mundane, and the object of "cringe" was qualities about them that weren't their character, such as their gender, race, disabilities, and in cases like this, body type.
Disney rash... That is lower extremity edema...fluid and blood are not able to circulate back up to the heart. That is why it resolves by laying down and elevating the legs. Compression hose help remedy this...
People need to realize that a lot of kids only dreamt of going to Disneyland and never got to because they lived in low income houses. Disney adults can FINALLY afford to make that dream come true. Just let people be happy.
Please go to an urgent care clinic if you get a red rash like that on your leg. It could turn out to be a blood clot or cellulitis. Last week I noticed a neon red rash just like that on my leg. It was hot to the touch, very tender, badly swollen, and after 12 hours I noticed it starting to blister a bit. The Dr. there referred me to the hospital so they could use ultra sound to rule out a blood clot. Turns out I have Cellulitis, a bacterial infection of the subdermal skin layers, and had to be admitted to hospital for several days while I received round the clock IV antibiotics. I only just got discharged and still have to take a 10 day course of oral antibiotics to kill off the infection. I'm lucky that I caught it early; my nurse said most people with Cellulitis don't seek help until the blisters have grown so large that they've burst from the pressure. If left untreated, the infection can spread to your bloodstream, causing sepsis, which is life-threatening. Please be safe rather than sorry!
I understand that adults are not allowed to wear "proper" costumes so that children don't confuse them with the actual characters and go to them, when they're not Disney reps. Like a safeguarding thing. I think Disneybounding is such a nice homage and brings out people's creativity
I'm so over ANYONE being shamed for ANYTHING they do that makes them happy. As long as it's not hurting anyone, it should be celebrated. Hobbies are healthy and a sign of good mental health. No one should be embarrassed to love something.
I’ve heard heavy-set Americans also call the “Disney rash” the “Europe rash” or “Paris/london rash” (or whatever city they are in). It’s exercise induced, more likely with heavier builds, and with people who don’t exercise. If walking 5 miles in a day is seen as exercise and not something you would normally do then it will be a shock to the body. Maybe Disney is the only place those ladies walk about and that’s the only time they see the rash?
Thanks for making a video that isn’t just about trashing Disney adults. Obviously there are people that take it a bit too far, but as a whole I think it’s fun. I have a bookshelf of Disney books and a Disney ears hat. I’ve been to Disney World twice and Disney Land once. And I grew up with almost every Disney film on VHS. Honestly though I was more of a Harry Potter adult (of course now I won’t purchase Potter stuff because the author lost her freaking mind and ruined her legacy). I still love my fandoms like Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Barbie, and more so my enthusiasm goes beyond just Disney. I just think it’s fun to like what you like and embrace it. I get tired of people judging it just because you’re an adult. As I said, some people go a little too overboard but mostly it’s just fun.
As long as you're just having a good time and not being a jerk/hurting anyone, then go for it! Life's too short. The video of the girl meeting Donald duck was cute. People can be so hateful for no reason.
