Would you still go to Disneyland?

if u had no kids (with you) and it was just u and a few of your friends? i'm wondering if it would be fun and if it would still have that magic.

Ok, so I've never been to Disneyland? not as a kid and not yet in my adult life. imma be on a lil summer vacay in SoCal next week and was wondering if we should spend a day there. we’ll just be a few guys and dolls. is Disneyland a good place to party? I wanna drink and dance too and of course go on some of those cool rides.

also my favs as a kid were Alladin, Lion King and Toy Story. i know they have a Toy Story attraction, but do they have anything Alladin or Lion King? I want to hug Genie and take pix w/ Simba. just chasing down old Disney memories. :)

Disney Land is always worth it. No matter how old you are, live and have fun.

Never been to Disney as a kid either (a bit far since I spent most of my life in europe) I went to Disney World for the first time 2 years ago with my mom who was 60 at the time (just to two of us), she loved it, I love the Animal Kingdom and Disney Studio (Magic Kingdom and Epcot not so much, it's ok but nt my thing), we are going back next year.

If you go at the right time and are a kid at heart you will enjoy yourself.

I went 2 years ago and it was meh because of long lines.

GO. TO. DISNEY. you don't regret it!

1.0 Normal
Normal doesn't mean boring! [emoji4]

I'd say that over half of the visitors to Disneyland are young adults~adults with no kids! It's a magical amusement park for everyone! As long as you're a normal and fun person and not an edgelord who refuses to find fun in it. LOL

I went at least eight times in the past year with friends, my parents, or by myself. I work for Disney TV Animation, so I get to go for free forever!

The Disney Parks are fabulous ( Epcot aside - as mentioned above ) - great for all ages . Check out all the vids on YouTube

We are extremely lucky though as our family work there so we get free entry and parking and don't have to que for rides as long .. ( never waited for more than 10 mins ) .

My son reckons the new Avatar extravaganza will be worth the entrance money alone !!

Epcot is the best part! You can drink your as much as you want.

its been about 10 years since I've been but I would go as a kid with my cousins, last time i was there still felt that "disney magic", you'll have fun for sure. oh ps. spacemountain that one is my fav.

I'd skip Disney, grab an inflatable flat-bottom boat, and go herping in the Everglades because I hate crowds.

This. ^
No interest whatsoever in a theme park.
Would love to see the Everglades.

If kids are back to school and the crowds and lines aren't too bad I would say go. But you would have to pay me to go if it was crowded. I'm 100000% all set with waiting hours in line for minutes of fun on the rides.

It's fun and all but, for me and my friends I'd go to Six Flags. We love roller coasters.

I'm not a theme park, stand in lines, bake in the sun kind of person. Even when my kids were little, it never made our to-do list. We went horse packing and did nature hikes on day or weekend trips. And went on historic trips.

If you don't mind literally rubbing shoulders constantly with strangers all day you may like it. Me, I was only willing to do that for my kids along with 1-2+ hours waiting in line for each ride. I will never go back now that my kids are grown.

OTH, Disney World is 10 times better and you can work the lines better with so much to do.

But if you are limited to only California, I'd pick Universal Studios in a heartbeat. Much better rides and more to do. Plus you're not constantly rubbing against strangers.

Food for thought, many years later, my kids still talk about Universal Studios, but never a word about Disneyland. Obviously, I have the same sentiments.

Easy - do both :)

I've been maybe 3 times with friends in college and then went with my husband. It is different as an adult. Some aspects are more fun, some are less. It is less "magical", but still fun to ride the rides with friends. We went to Epcot, the magic kingdom, and I've also been to animal kingdom as an adult (I didn't find it as good as the other parks IMO).

I couldn't vote in the poll because there isn't a "I'd rather be dragged through cactus than go to Disney" option.

That said, there are a lot of adults who go to Disney. It's not about kids. Think of all the rides where "you must be this tall" and there's the World of Beer. A lot of the places to eat are geared for adults.

If you like Disney, freaking GO to Disney. Don't worry about anyone else. Go enjoy yourself.

I'll recommend the Resorts instead of the bigger hotels, they're way cheaper and they run awesome shuttles to ALL the Disney parks and to the airport too. At least they do here in Florida, I think you're asking about the California park.

I went recently for a convention, never went to any of the parks but the con was in one of the biggest hotels on Disney. There were tons of young adults with no kids.

Haha, Wolfy..that is brilliant !! "I'd rather be dragged through a cactus then go to Disney".

I feel the same exact way. But on the other hand, I completely understand that many people love it. That is the Beauty of it, we don't all have to enjoy the same things.

For me, I HATE crowds. Hate it. I hate lines. Just way to many people there. And all "man made" fun and attractions.

Perhaps I'm just sort of a anti social strange kind of person, but while there are natural wonders in this world, I will never choose the man made stuff over those. Well, now that I sit here and think about it, perhaps I DO want to see some man made things. But more along the lines of "interesting history". Historic sites. Mysterious sites.
Give me an adventure over all that glitter and glam.

I'd literally be out West or North where they used to find gold, and try my little heart out all day to find a bit of it. Give me horses, nature, hikes, VIEWS. Wide open gorgeous views. Interesting animals. Even if it means no comfort.

I don't like Cruises. I wouldn't be caught going to Dubai (some of my extended family loves it). I don't need to see that overdone stuff. Give me a photo safari through a Wildlife park in Africa.

Did I say VIEWS ?

Long story short, no, you couldn't pay me to go to Disney. But then..even as a kid I didn't like Disney movies. To much SINGING going on. For some reason it always bothered me that the story stops all the time for all that singing going no. I still don't like that in Movies, LOL.

For someone that enjoys Disney and adventure parks, it can be a magical place full of fun and a good time with friends and family. You don't have to have kids to enjoy it, most people that I know went their as adults (without kids). Nothing wrong with that :)
