I feel like at this point both hating and loving Disney are pretty popular opinions, so I guess the only thing I can say is that I don't get the whole deal with Disney world as like thee American childhood experience? Idk if it's just an "I'm first gen and grew up in an immigrant community" thing but the idea that you would go to Disney world as a family (or ever) was like. not even an inkling of a thought. I honestly don't even see the appeal really, like there are way cheaper ways to get on a rollercoaster, and none of the Disney films were particularly formative to my childhood, so I don't even get why people would want to meet adults dressed as them if you're older than like 5. It's wild to me that this is a real thing real human beings do and that it's considered normal or common. This isn't like a shaming people thing, I just really don't get it.

#imagine my genuine shock at finding out about Disney adults #its actually kind of wild to experience culture shock as a young adult for a country you live in #like the first boyfriend i ever had was a very stereotypically suburban white boy and it was a real mindfuck to realize that all those #jokes about what stereotypical white suburban Americans are like were not in fact jokes and were actually accurate #like i really hadn't realized how nonstandard my experience was which was really hard to process when the culture shock was coming from #someone who for all intents and purposes was in my community #so bizarre #college was kinda like that too but that relationship and interacting with his family kinda eased me into it #like i hadn't realized that on some level i just kinda thought most Americans were some flavor of immigrant until it came up in #conversations with university friends and classmates that my parents were both immigrants and they were like 'oh thats so cool!' instead of #like 'oh same'#this got really rambly and off topic but here it is #asks #also what is the difference between disney land and disney world????
