DisneyDining.com says starting this August adults without kids can't visit the Magic Kingdom during summer or on weekends

[Becca302]

Is there any truth to this? That seems so bizarre that they'd turn paying customers away just because they don't have kids.

Nope, it's just pointless clickbait created to cause outrage against "Disney adults". Just ignore it.

I doubt it. Seems the old argument resurfaced on Reddit with someone ranting about it. The article itself you reference says towards the end Disney isn't planning on changing this. The story is clickbait IMO

Why would they make up something like that? Why would they make up *anything*?

"Especially when they learn that such restrictions are nothing more than a satirical firing-back at the ridiculous public outrage against Disney adults of any age, regardless of their parental status or lack thereof.

You read that correctly. Disney has no plans to restrict any Guest from Magic Kingdom on any day on the basis of whether they have children. At least for now . . ."

For views/clicks. These "news" sites will post anything to get people to engage with their site. And it worked since there's a thread about it.

So...they just made this up? The article came up on my Google News feed.

I can't stop laughing. No disrespect to the OP, but how could this even remotely be a thing.

Sorry Ma'am. No entrance for you. No screaming toddler with you...you're outta here!

To drive more traffic to their site, to create faux outrage and division, for more revenue due to more people clicking and more page views, for more $$ because many people don’t have morals or ethics and don’t care about lying. There is lots of made up stuff for lots of reasons not just the Disney stuff.

Google lies too…a lot! And they censor people and they set algorithms so you see what they want you to see.

Yes. Desperation for page clicks and revenue. Outrageous stuff gets more attention than boring ol’ reality.

That's why I asked here. It seemed weird, but people and companies do a lot of things I don't understand.

Because gullible people will believe anything they read??? And then post about it.

Oh well. I'm going to go quit my job now because I'm supposed to be able to teach people how to avoid things like this. I can't be trusted to do that anymore.

That sounds a bit extreme

Yes, they did make it up. To get people to click on their link. That's how they make money, the more clicks, the more they can get in advertising revenue. Pure garbage site, just like Inside the Mag**. Just because Google carries it doesn't mean it's true!

And no borrowing anyone’s screaming toddler!

I'm a librarian. Part of my job is teaching people to avoid "fake news". If I can't do it myself then what good am I?

Don’t feel bad because you asked a question. It’s good to question things. Nowadays, there are many things we aren’t supposed to ask questions about or you get mocked, ridiculed, people get triggered and angry at you for asking even just about Disney. It would be worse to just blindly accept what that article had said as the truth, that would’ve been gullible.

I actually blocked that site because of that stupid article.
