>Disneyland has become an activity for wealthy childless millennials What on earth would be the appeal for people that do not have children? If I want rollercoasters I'll go to six flags.

IP-based nostalgia. The people paying are really into Disney.

People will go to Epcot and “drink around the world” for example

A lot of adults are stuck in arrested development.

Because adults are large children and experiences like Disney are way better when you have adult money, no parents to keep you in line, and no kids to be responsible for. Like damn, people in this thread are acting like adults can’t like Star Wars and Frozen. Do you feel the same way about music festivals? Seeing your favorite bands and buying merch. The prevailing line in this thread is that it’s seemingly childish, immature, #cringe to genuinely like and be excited for things.

Frankly it has nothing to do with “being a kid”. There is a shit-ton for adults with a keen eye: Impeccably landscaped grounds. Heavily themed environments (not even the trash cans are left unthemed). Care and thought put into the immersive experience, sight lines, smell, music, etc. Christ some of the live musicians (Dixieland, barbershop, the Dapper Dans, etc) are worth it on their own. Its a fantastic place to just walk around (assuming not hot and crowded) and devour the sensory experience. Not for the cynical of course. You have to just give in and let it all in. If you’re the type to just trounce through an area without taking in the details that sit before you, it’s not the place for you. If you’re the type to admire the street lamps, flowers, insanely well-maintained painted woodwork, etc it’s the place for you.
