To ask what you think about grown women who go to Disneyland without dc with Disney ears and wearing Disney dresses?

[Witchofzog]

Before anyone flames me this is meant to be light hearted. Obviously a holiday is about doing what you want to do and I strongly believe each to their own. I also don't get holidays where you fling yourself out of trees or go to back to basic retreats where you pay a fortune to effectively starve yourself.

But I have 2 friends on Facebook - one an ex colleague and the other a distant family member who have been to Disneyland Florida with their partners (who look a bit bored in the photos) over the last 2 months. Both have dressed in cutesie Disney dresses, Disney shoes, bags and ears despite being in their 30's and their photos are mainly all with various characters. I just don't get it. I imagine with children or for a few days it would be totally magical but I think 2 weeks of meeting characters and eating Disney shaped food would get a bit boring after a while. But I am prepared to be educated. These women look like they are literally having the time of their lives so there must be something I am missing.

Would you go on your own without dc's for 2 weeks?

I understand the rides, I love rides! But actually I’m not a massive fan of the films so I guess I’m not a Disney fan. It’s like Harry Potter. I have a friend who adores it, goes to London to visit it and all that. Watches all the films alllllll the time. She is 26. I don’t get that.

Sometimes I think it’s just fashionable to like Disney and act like a big kid etc. Other times I suspect I’m just a cranky grown up who has totally forgotten their childhood. It’s that isn’t it. I am a cranky bitch.

I think there pearl clutches will come out, one with me and a character, and the other in my Disney clothes in Micky Mouse house in Magic Kingdom

I went to Disneyland in California when I was 12 or 13, DH went in his 20s with no DC, when he told me I said "why?" I find it a bit odd.

Aeroflotgirl, is that your husband in the first photo? He looks a cheerful sort of a chap...

Nice photos. My husband would love to go, I'm sure. Perhaps we will. We might even take the kids....

I really dislike Disney and going would be my idea of hell, and thankfully our DS (6) has no desire to go either, although many of his friends have been and loved it. I guess I do find it a bit weird why adults would go ro Disneyland without children. I can understand the rides, but the meeting the characters bit seems a bit odd! However, if it makes them happy then who am I to judge...

Honestly. I think there's arrested development there somewhere. I went to the Californian and Paris one with my DC and slapped a smile on myself for them. The rides were good though. Everything else was overpriced, cliched, childish and boring. Can't speak for everyone or imagine the attraction for an adult of my age and regard it as another dim-witted thing people do for attention like SnapChat doggy ears.

Ha ha yes, he is lovely, just keeps quiet whilst I moan and moan 😂😂😂. Thanks Lying, I loved it, I forgot all the stresses of life and just relaxed. Week want to go again. Those who have never been, don't have a clue. My Auntie, took my Gran over 20 years ago, and gran loved it. They even went twice 😁😁

Just kidding!

I am a huge Harry Potter fan, I love the books, loved the films (1-3) and we went to the studios last year. I was blown away but in a way it spoilt the magic for me as a) Alan Rickman not around anymore, ditto Richard Griffiths and Richard Harris and b) it was a bit like having the 'how did you do that?' of a magic trick explained.

It's been very well done though and now that I know everything, I might well go back - possibly at Halloween.

Right Sally, so adults who go are developmentally challenged. Hate the smug sanctimoneous posters in here, who look down their noses and deride people who like Disney. As I said, those are from people who have never been as the Florida one is awesome.

SallySideEye now that, that was a step too far. Your post is twattish and you meant it to be. Dim-witted and 'arrested development'? Vile.

Aeroflotgirl, I think it's a troll, it's certainly stupid. Best ignored and not given the attention it craves.

When are you next heading off to Disney?

I loved the Harry Potter books, and my friend is a Huge HP fan, she has been to Warner BROTHERS in Elstree a lot of times and lives the Merchandise.

She is 26. I don’t get that

I do the same and I'm nearly 40.

You don't have to get it.
HTH.

They were my thoughts upon reading the OP Lying. Can people not. Have an opinion now? Fuck me sideways with a barge pole.

Can people not. Have an opinion now?

Of course. But do expect to be questioned on it when it’s utter tosh.

Totally don't get it... hate Disney

It's pathetic. I'd pity them

Why on earth would you pity someone for having a good time on their holiday, now that is weird!

Wouldn't go to the Florida one anyway, like the French Dordogne -or the Costa Del Sol , full of Brits - want to meet natives when I go abroad.

But each to their own and I'd probably have a warm smile looking at people who are loving the Disney Dre's up

Is there a Disney Dre?? that would be cool.

think I meant dress up ... but Disney Dre? Fabulous!!!

Someone I know is refusing to marry her oh until he agrees they can get married at Disney land dressed as beauty and the beast....... I have nothing for that.

Adults that enjoy Disney land I can handle. But those who get super obsessive over things like that...or indeed anything always give me red flags. Surely to obsess and live for something that much is beyond passion and into the territory of trying to fill some sort of hole in your life

Sally your post was offensive, it implied that people had some sort of developmental difficulty, if they liked to go to Disney. It was not, its not my cup of tea, I am not into it, kind of thing, which would have been fine.
