Mom Sparks Debate After Calling For Adults Without Children To Be BANNED From Disney World!

Should childless adults be banned from the happiest place on earth?

That’s what people are debating after one frustrated parent vented about how grown up millennials ruined her child’s experience at Walt Disney World.

It all began when a Twitter user shared a screengrab of an old Facebook post from an annoyed mother who blasted childless adults for visiting the Florida theme park and effectively causing longer lines that make the experience more difficult for adults with children.

After explaining how these non-children hampered a recent trip to the park with her three-year-old son, who apparently acted out after she told him they couldn’t wait in a long line for a pretzel, she concluded:

“DW is a FAMILY amusement park!! … DW is for CHILDREN!!!! People without CHILDREN need to BANNED!!”

Mmm… a tad dramatic, no?

Most people thought so. However, others seemed to side with the frustrated mother — including New York Post writer Johnny Oleksinski, who fueled the debate even further after penning an op-ed claiming adults who go to Disney parks without children were “weird.”

He claimed in the article:

“Millennials are indeed in an unhealthy relationship with Disney, having granted control of so much of their leisure time and personality to a single, enormous corporate entity meant for children… Another oft ignored problem with letting a kids brand control your adult life is the stupidity and culture ignorance it leads to.”

Really? “Culture ignorance”!?

Has this guy never gone to Epcot’s World Showcase? We mean, drinking across 11 countries is basically the theme park equivalent of a graduate degree in cultural studies, and that experience is most definitely not for kids.

Many argued even the more kid-focused areas of the mega-park were not made exclusively for children, but rather created to bring joy to people of all ages — because, well, that’s what Walt Disney originally had in mind.

In response to the joyless op-ed, one critic shared the original Disneyland manifesto that read:

“To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past – and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future.”

The user also shared a famous quote from Big Walt himself to end the debate:

“You’re dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.”

WALT’S????????WHOLE????????GOAL????????WAS????????TO????????MAKE????????THINGS????????THAT????????EVERYONE????????COULD????????ENJOY.????????

Ain’t that the truth.

Even adults need the magic of Disney to distract them from the magic-less mundanity of life; and since we all know magic is money, we seriously doubt Disney would ever cut off its supply to adults who would happily pay for it.

This ad, for example, unapologetically targets adults:
