All the times Disney adults went way too far and made the experience a little less magical

People love to hate on Disney adults. You know, those grown-ups who are just as obsessed, sometimes even more obsessed, than kids when it comes to all things Mickey, Minnie, and magic. They’ve got the spirit jerseys, the popcorn buckets, and the annual passes, and they’re not afraid to show it.

Even a former Disney employee once called them “the worst people,” which feels a bit harsh, after all, they’re just enjoying something they love. But sometimes they really do take things way too far.

So, here are the wildest, most jaw-dropping moments where Disney adults went too far.

Bringing a sick family to the parks

Obviously, no one wants to get norovirus while on holiday. But these Disney adults thought it was totally fine to drag their entire sick family, including a seven-month-old baby with explosive diarrhoea to Disney World. Yep, they still went on rides, wandered the parks, and basically risked everyone else catching the stomach bug. TikTok was not impressed.

Spending hundreds on a breakfast

So, of course, Disney meals can be pricey, but one family’s bill for the Princess Breakfast Adventures was nearly $938 for five people. And that’s not even including all the extra magical stuff they bought. The food was apparently good, but honestly, most of us would be crying into our coffee at that price.

Obsessing over overpriced experiences

Some Disney adults just can’t get enough of limited-edition experiences. Take the Key to Disneyland scavenger hunt, for example. People were lining up for hours, paying $60 just to unlock bubbles and collect a pin. They loved it, but everyone else thought it was an obvious cash grab, and, yeah, a bit cringe.

Literally pooping in line

@thebertshow

Ummm #Disney guests are POOPING while in line at the parks?! And it’s happening SO MUCH that Disney staff even have a special code for it?! Sorry, but WHAT IS GOING ON 💩 AND WHY IS IT HAPPENING THE MOST ON THE #AVATAR RIDE?! #DisneyAdults y’all have some explaining to do…

You might think this is a joke, but sadly it’s not. On rides with insanely long queues, such as Avatar: Flight of Passage, some Disney adults get so desperate to keep their spot that they’ll relieve themselves right there in line or let their kids do it. Disney cast members even have a special code for it. And honestly, just use the bathroom, people.

Ruining the fun for kids

Don’t be that adult that ruins a nice interaction between kids and characters because you think you’re being funny. #starwars #starwarsgalaxysedge #chewbacca #chewie #rey #reyskywalker #disneyhollywoodstudios #disneyhollywoodstudiosorlando #disneysgalaxysedge #maytheforcebewithyou #dontbeajerk #disneycharacterinteractions #disneycharacters

Some Disney adults forget that parks are mostly for kids. One incident involved a grown woman sneaking up behind Chewbacca and Rey, trying to scare and touch them. Obviously, the performers had to leave as Disney has a zero-tolerance policy for this kind of behaviour. The poor kids were left completely confused.

Obsessing over characters

And then there’s the obsession side of things. Disney adults have been reported pushing children out of the way for photos, crying when they couldn’t meet a character, or even legally changing their name to “Mouse.” Some have been seen wearing Mickey Mouse ears to funerals, or planning trips to Disney 14 times in a single year. Yes, fourteen times.
