With this list, I will take you beyond the annual guidebooks and into the history and lore that has kept me coming back (and spending more time on social media than is probably healthy). There have been plenty of high-profile issues, from theming a ride on Song of the South, a movie so racist they won’t even release on Disney+ in the United States, to the American history-themed park that never was. I can enjoy the wonder I feel whenever I’m at Disney World while simultaneously being aware that Disney is a corporation that profits from my nostalgia. I say that I am not a Disney Adult, but somehow I am always planning my next trip, if only in my mind. I will say that I’m a Disney Adult and then accidentally start a trading pin collection. I have a complicated relationship with the now-memetic phrase “Disney Adult.” I will deny that I am a Disney Adult and then I will make sure to get to the parks just as they open.
