I have a coworker/friend who is a "Disney Adult" - she has an entire room in their 4br house that is designated to Disney paraphernalia, including a $16,000 swarovski crystal Cinderella purse and $3k jeweled mini mouse ears. They are members of Club 33 which is $33,000 a year to join and have a timeshare that was integral to a wider family drama fighting over the usage rights for. She will go on global vacations to visit Disney parks but not see any of the local sites.

That’s next level and might even be more than Disney adult. I spent a whole month last year at Disney Word and am doing it again this year but even I describe that as going too far.
Do you go into a park every day of that month? I found I was peopled-out after a week.
I enjoy Disney parks (though I would not call myself a "Disney adult") and I found the best way, if you can afford a longer stay, is to spend no more than half a day in the park, and visit each park twice, or three times for your favorites. (Personally, I was done with "Hollywood Studios" after just half a day.)

Of course in the current political situation I would never return to Florida, and Disneyland is much smaller.

We do multiple trips. A few long weekends, one one week, and one two week. The two week one we have to take it easy. I also backpack and ski and while Disney is obviously real cushy when you’re getting up at 6am every day and doing 25k steps it’s surprisingly exhausting.

That speaks to some serious developmental issues.

Reminds me of the book of oxymorons I read when I was a kid: who ordered the Jumbo Shrimp?
