The issue is it went from a way to categorize extreme Disney nuts from casual Disney fans who visit the parks over the age of 18.

Disney adult is such a new phrase to me and none of these explanations are cutting it.

This where I'm lost. Damn you can't enjoy a theme park? A proper Disney nut is just something you don't see often on the east coast.The issue is it went from a way to categorize extreme Disney nuts from casual Disney fans who visit the parks over the age of 18.

Yeah idk man everyone sees it differently.
My wife and I go once a year together, for 2 days. We enjoy the food and rides and a good vacation. No kids. To some people, we’re Disney adults.
Then I see the people with stacks of Loungefly bags, spirit jerseys on deck, wearing and using all this stuff outside the parks in their day to day, Disney house stuff, etc. and I think “those are Disney adults” .
I guess everyone has a different idea of a realistic / normal Disney enjoyment?

Seeing ya'll about to crash out at the most magical place on earth lead me to look for Disney gangs. This kinda drove home "Disney adults" for me.

Here are Some More Photos of Disneyland’s Awkward Gangs – VICE
I guess it would be a stretch to call them gangs. After all, they're just friends (mostly adults) who want to hang out with like-minded people at a theme park a couple times a month...

I mean, if this is the picture of Disney adults, is this any different than a diehard sports fan?Seeing ya'll about to crash out at the most magical place on earth lead me to look for Disney gangs. This kinda drove home "Disney adults" for me.

This guy comically goes through all of the symptoms of a Disney adult.
TL;DW
-But yes, it is true. These Disney adults are people who do not have kids and go to Disney religiously to experience the “magic of the happiest place on earth” They love everything about it. More frequently than not to the point where the parks have made special rules to deter the Disney adults.
One being that you can’t dress up (cosplay) as a character because many children have mistakenly thought that they were workers of the park. (They worked their way around it by color matching as a character)
There are more adults than children at the parks nowadays
Other rules like no marriage proposals, no dumping of ashes of a loved one there, etc.

I myself personally have clients who are Disney adults and are proud to say it and that they go at least once a month. they get their season pass on a Finance plan as if it’s a car and ball out.
The stereotype of a “what does a Disney adult look like” is exactly what’s in your head
