The Obsession with Disney World

The obsession with Disney World is criticized for hindering personal growth by promoting an infantile mindset. Regular visits to Disney World are viewed as limiting experiences and preventing exploration of other aspects of culture like history, art, literature, and film. The emergence of 'Disney adults' is highlighted, indicating individuals who remain fixated on Disney into adulthood. This fixation is perceived as emotional and intellectual stagnation, deterring them from broader life experiences. The commercialized and costly nature of the park, alongside extreme fan behaviors such as meal plans and ride suitability reviews, are pointed out as concerning aspects of this obsession.
