The red flags are flying!

It’s a given that not everyone is a “Disney adult” as it were, and even many who enjoy the company’s theme parks might have some wild misconceptions about them. However, some red flags are way more striking than others. 

We recently posed the POV question “You’re talking to your best friend and they say _____ about Disney World, and it’s a HUGE red flag. What did they say?” and got some doozies in response.

Reader Margaret answered with: “Disney is only for families with little kids.” This was actually the most common response we got, as MANY of our readers would consider it a Disney red flag for someone to respond that Disney World is only for families and/or children. Which makes sense, considering that there is PLENTY for childless adults to do at the Most Magical Place on Earth. 

Meanwhile, reader Amber considers it a red flag if her friends don’t use her Disney expertise. “When the(y) tell me they went AFTER THE FACT… and complain they didn’t have any fun. Well, duh! You didn’t come to me for advice and planning strategies.” Speaking of planning, several readers pointed out that any iteration of “I don’t need to plan, I’ll just wing it” is a major red flag in and itself given the need to make dining reservations, book Genie+, and etc.

Reader Susan pointed out that someone saying “Surprise! We’re going for 2 weeks! We leave September 10th!!” is a major red flag. Specifically, it’s the red and black weather warning flag, as that’s right in the midst of Atlantic Hurricane Season, the chances of bad weather are — at best — quite high. 

A few readers shared some ride and park-specific red flags with us, including reader Crystalayn who took umbrage with anyone saying “They should get rid of it. It’s outdated” in regard to the Enchanted Tiki Room. Meanwhile, reader Heather points out the admittedly major red flag of someone saying “The second version of Journey Into Imagination is the best version.” Meanwhile, several other readers brought up the red flag of Disney World visitors asking “Where is Harry Potter?” 

One of our go-to Disney debates also came up, as some said that starting World Showcase in Mexico was a red flag, while seemingly an equal number of riders said the same about starting on Canada. 

Finally reader Kaitlyn leaves us with a final, major 3,000 miles off red flag: “We leave for Orlando this week and just bought our Disneyland tickets!”

Some of these Disney red flags are more option-based, while others are facepalm-worthy just because of how easily someone could learn the truth by a simple Google search. Stay tuned to DFB for more thoughts on Walt Disney World.
