""It's something that everybody has an opinion on, but nobody really understands," Wolfe, a self-described Disney adult, said of Disney fandom in a recent interview with Business Insider."
""The really difficult thing about being a Disney adult is other Disney adults," Wolfe said, citing the conversations she had with her fellow Disney superfans when doing research for her book."
"Wolfe said those who don't have an annual parks pass, see every Disney movie, or stay at every hotel in Disney World or Disneyland can be shamed by other Disney adults."
""There's this judgment, this hierarchy, and this status thing that goes on with Disney adults," Wolfe said."
Disney adults experience a complex relationship with their fandom, marked by internal judgment from fellow enthusiasts. A new book has revealed that many Disney fans, who often dress up or get themed tattoos, find their greatest challenges come not from critics, but from their peers who question their commitment. This community creates a hierarchy with pressures surrounding ownership of annual passes or extensive Disney experiences. Despite the joy associated with Disney, the social dynamics within the community can be as taxing as external ridicule.
