I don't think this works. I know DINKs and single people who work normal jobs (and a shitload of overtime) and go to Disney like six times a year because they're total Disney freaks. Like, adult Disney people who get Disney tattoos and shit. It's a whole vibe.

DINKs are already an entirely separate class tbh.

My Uncle and his family are like this, his kids are adults now and they still go to Disney every year.

We're Canadian. and he is a staunch opponent of the Canadian Healthcare system, He believes that because he can personally throw money at a Doctor, that everyone should be treated that way, first paid first served.

The amazing thing to me is that Disney used to be cheap entertainment. 1955 admission was $1.10 with rides costing 10 to 35 cents. A teenager could take a date there for what they'd earn in an afternoon. Prices for movies, sporting events, and concerts were similar.

This is known as the cost disease. As manufacturing gets increasingly optimized, automated and cheap, the share of income that needs to be spent on everything else increases. For example, housing and services like live entertainment or healthcare.

cost disease. I never heard of this before.

Is there a "went to Disney recently and didn't like it" category?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Don't need to go there to know I wouldn't like this commercial overcrowded monstrosity

Not anymore, you're now declared an undesirable immigrant and will be deported.

Fuck Disney, fuck dividing the non-super rich

I believe this only applies to the USA portion of America and not the other 29 countries

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not accurate. Plenty of broke people go to Disney regularly. I know a couple of them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Most of them up and move their entire lives to be within driving distance of it even when unable to afford. Disney families are something else

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah there's the 'goes into debt to go to disney' crowd. That's me.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

There should be another Disney class. The “Lightning Pass/Stayed at a Disney Resort/going to multiple parks over several days” Class

The park fees alone are pretty expensive if you’d like to see more than just “Disneyland” and want to see EPCOT, Studios, etc. The try to ride the rides during any popular season you buy Lightning Passes for hundreds or even a thousand more per person, pay for parking over multiple days, stay at an expensive “resort” property…

Yeah. You can go “cheap” and stay off property, but it’s a whole different experience.

galaxy brain -- doesn't want to go to disney

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Their advertising made me actively not want to go. They show kids screaming with joy at their parents saying they are going. My reaction would have been like, ok. I knew this, I didn't want to go because I felt like I would disappoint my parents with a lack of excitement over going.

Went to Disney 3x. Once when my grandpa died, then my grandma, then my dad. Allllll paid for by life insurance payouts. Not sure where I fit in here.

I know this is a joke but there's people who don't accept life insurance payouts because they legitimately feel this way.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Seems like a gross misunderstanding of life insurance and the wishes of the deceased, but people get weird about death.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

That's super strange. I hope they're wealthy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

We'll let you hang out in the middle group.

I went once in my early 20s. Drove all night with a friend and stayed with his grandparents. Figured I should see what it's like since my parents didn't have vacation money when I was a kid.

Magic Kingdom was pretty lame to a 23 year old stoner. Should have spent the gas money on drugs.

Been once not that fun...

I'm a native Floridian who's never been to Disney. Other Floridians seem disgusted by my presence when it comes up

  • Season pass holder
  • Season pass and Lightning Lane pass holder
  • Member of Club 33
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This is the right answer.

Club 33 is the name of a number of private dining clubs. As of March 2025, the reported cost to join had increased to $80,000 with annual costs of $22,000.

People who go to Disneyland multiple times a year could be just a Disney gay who lives close to the park. They are not some exclusive class.
