Part 7/10:
The cultural narrative surrounding Disney has shifted dramatically. Some criticize the company for catering primarily to wealthier demographics, turning the once egalitarian "everyone is a VIP" ethos into a luxury brand. This shift is exemplified by the rise of "Disney adults"—adults who remain captivated by Disney’s nostalgia and mass marketing—often spending hundreds to thousands of dollars to indulge in exclusive experiences.
videos circulating online highlight the bizarre and sometimes surreal tastes of current Disney visitors. Some portray the park as a playground for wealthy adults, with references to fast passes costing $500, the artificial birds and animals in the park, and the level of commercialization overshadowing the original magic Walt Disney envisioned.
