A Disney adult is an adult who is a devout fan of The Walt Disney Company.[1][2] Common hobbies of Disney adults includes visiting Disney theme parks, collecting Disney merchandise, cosplaying as Disney characters, and consuming content on the Disney+ streaming service.[2]

Buzzfeed News described Disney adults as a "polarizing fandom" that receives scrutiny and ridicule from others.[1]

Origin

Practices associated with the phenomenon, such as Disney weddings, date back decades to the 1990s. Amanda Brennan, senior director of XX Artists, identifies Tumblr as the origin of the Disney adult fandom.[3]
