Disney adult

"[5] Amanda Brennan, former head of editorial at Tumblr, identifies that website as the origin of the Disney adult fandom, specifically the practice of "DisneyBounding", a type of informal cosplay where adult visitors dress in the color palette of their favorite Disney character.

She sees the millennial generation as having more "freedom to follow their own obsessions" and it being more socially acceptable for them to have juvenile interests.

[4] In 2019, a Facebook post went viral in which a parent complained about childless millennial couples obstructing her family's experience at Disney World.

[4] This post then turned into a meme that was widely shared on social media making fun of Disney Adults, specifically millennials in their 30s who didn't have any children still going to the parks often.
