I will never understand grown ups that don’t have children that still choose to vacation at Disney

I don’t have kids and had never been to Disney until I was 44 and working at Deloitte. It was the first time in a really long time that I disconnected from work since I couldn’t exactly take the laptop with me to the park. That gave me a huge appreciation for Disney.

I also got really high at the park and was walking around having my mind blown, and didn’t speak for over an hour I was in such awe. 😆

I excited consulting. Problem solved! I took 2 weeks off in July and left my laptop at home.

Since you can drink in the parks it’s honestly pretty fun…animal kingdom in particular has fantastic drinks, as does Epcot 🤷🏼‍♀️

I knew a couple that went every year for their anniversary. Every. Single. Year. They never had kids. Kept going. There’s some value to the nostalgia and “magic” (marketing machine?) that really resonates with adults as much as it does with kids.

like

Yeah this would be a big no from me dawg. That’s wild I truly don’t get it

I think it’s nostalgic, either taking my kids there or being there as a kid. It’s a piece of history and something that brings probably happy memories to most of their youth that they can sort of relive again. I am one who goes with a fellow Disney fan when we don’t have the kids. It’s clean fun and there are different experiences without kids (no complaining, drinking and taking your time) which make it a different experience with nostalgia. I am one of those freaks I guess

People do that? Wtf 😂

Just because something is themed a certain way doesn’t mean it isn’t meant for people of all ages. There are legitimately great rides, world class food, various festivals that adults will appreciate more than kids (food and wine September - October), and great accommodations.

Also, some people like vacationing where the main activity isn’t getting plastered on a beach. Who needs a beach when you can get drunk in a theme park?

like

BCG, not sure what you would consider world class food, but...Celebrity chefs include Morimoto, art smith, Wolfgang puck, Jose Andres and more. Chicago steakhouse empire Gibson’s own the Boathouse, Victoria and Alberts for extra fancy, and a number of other high quality places you could put in NYC that would kill it.

That’s gross. But seriously, Zoomers only want dogs and freedom, no kids. We are their growth strategy and the future of Disney with the slowing birth rate is big kids.

Ppl in LA don’t see Disneyland as a ‘vacation’ but as something to do. It’s not as big of a deal to them w the season passes

Exactly. When you live up the street and are free to go at any time and leave when the crowds get bad it’s literally no big deal.

I generally agree with you. But a couple years ago my bf and I went to Disneyland for one day during our winter holiday, as I hadn't ever been there at Christmas and he hadn't been in 25+ years. A friend tipped me off to one of the many blogs with hacks to make the most of a Disney visit, and as a result even on the busiest day of the year (!) we were able to go on 14 rides and get front row seats for the evening laser/fireworks show. We had a blast going on all the rides, the decorations were so pretty, and we wouldn't have been able to cram that all in with kids.

But that was enough Disney for me for another 10-20 years or whatever.

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂

Do folks have trusted/valuable resources for researching luxury family travel with young kids? I don’t care the cost, I want to know what is most convenient and nice for my family. Feel like generally most resources are geared to either a) families on a budget (I don’t care which hotel is best bang for buck w/mid breakfast) or b) couples / adults only travelers. Do folks just stick to true five star hotel concierges for help? Do folks just book luxury tours like A&K? How do folks research?
