As a British guy who worked in the USA for a while, my colleagues couldn’t fathom that I had no interest in going to Disneyland. It was kinda weird the obsession some of them had with it.

Cult of Disney is eerily real. Maybe it's the US version of how some Brits obsess over the royalty.

Yeah, it's weird and cringy how into it some adults are. I think part of it is status, though. Everyone knows Disney is expensive, so taking your family is a way to show off your status to everyone with the pics you take for social media.

It used to not be that out of line with other amusement parks, but has gotten unattainablely expensive in the last decade or so.

I remember growing up in the UK and Disneyland or Disney world was always a bit of a joke about giving loads of offers but no takers.

Then again, it wasn't until I met Americans growing up did I realize how seriously they took Thanksgiving too.
