An adult with an intense and extreme love of The Walt Disney Company films, television shows, franchises, characters, theme parks, merchandise/ memorabilia, and/or products. Disney Adults may devote an unreasonably large portion of time or resources towards expressing their love of Disney, and the content Disney or its subsidiaries produce. This can include buying merchandise, memorabilia, collectibles or novelty items, movie tickets, or subscriptions to streaming services, visiting and spending money at Disney-owned theme parks, holding a very active role in a Disney fandom/fandoms; or generally supporting Disney, financially or otherwise, to an excessive degree.
Disney Adults are typically thought to be Millennials who continued to be avid fans of Disney and its subsidiaries even after aging out of the usual target audience for most Disney franchises/films/shows. They are often criticized for their radical support of and devotion to a company that makes what is widely regarded as being children's entertainment.
Disney Adults are also critiqued because some believe they support a corporation that has been and continues to be as controversial or problematic as The Walt Disney Company.

I saw this insane car today--a Mickey Mouse bumper sticker, a special Disney license plate, their car custom-painted red, white, and black--definitely a Disney Adult.
