If there’s one thing we know about Disney fans, it’s that we always have opinions on the popular Disney trend of the moment.

Whether that trend comes in the form of a new ride, an over-the-top souvenir, or a sudden change to a beloved attraction, there’s no shortage of debates in the Disney community. With all that in mind, we wanted to find out from you which popular Disney trends you weren’t too keen on, and boy oh boy, you delivered.

We reached out to our followers on Facebook to ask: “What popular Disney trend can you not stand?” We had quite a few people leave their opinions in the comments!

Now, let’s dive into some of your top responses!

“Matching shirts… every single park.”

Steph kicked us off with: “People spending hundreds on custom shirts to be made so that everyone can match at every single park… you do you, it’s just not for me. That’s lightning lane money.”

We’ve all seen the massive family groups rocking their matching shirts, and while it’s a fun way to celebrate a vacation, it’s definitely not for everyone. Some people love the coordination, others feel like it’s an unnecessary expense. Either way, if you’re going to do it, at least make sure it’s a comfortable shirt because the Florida heat is no joke.

“Everything becoming a collection.”

Next, Layne didn’t hold back: “There are so many! Everything becoming a ‘collection’ so people storm the parks when something is released because they HAVE to be first in line, then there are none for people that are just a fan. THEN the resale for outrageous prices because this has now become people’s career, buying and selling Disney items, instead of getting a real job.”

We get it—Disney merchandise is tempting. But there’s a big difference between loving a collectible and turning it into a full-blown reseller operation. And limited-edition releases can be exciting, but when it turns into a mad dash with items popping up on eBay minutes later for triple the price, it takes the magic out of it for a lot of fans.

“Live streaming during rides.”

Next, Jenn shared, “Live streaming at the parks, especially during rides like Jungle Cruise where they’re talking to their audience and the ‘Captain’ is doing their storyline. Sorta obnoxious.”

Look, we love a good vlog, but when it starts interfering with the in-person experience? That’s where the issue lies. There’s something frustrating about trying to enjoy a ride while someone next to you is talking to their phone the entire time. Maybe just film it and post it later?

“Cutting the lines.”

Next, Alison had strong feelings about this one: “Cutting the lines. I’ve seen so many people holding a spot for a group of people. This doesn’t mean bathroom breaks for kids. That’s totally fine!!”

We all know how brutal Disney lines can be, but there’s nothing worse than standing in a queue for an hour only to have a whole group squeeze in front of you at the last second. Holding a spot for a quick bathroom break is totally reasonable, but saving space for a dozen people? Well, that’s just not cool.

“Light-up swords and wands.”

Next, Julia shared, “Light up swords/wands. I have epilepsy and the flashing of the lights does bother me very much.”

Sometimes those Disney  light-up souvenirs can be a little much — especially for people with sensory sensitivities or medical conditions. A little awareness can go a long way in making the parks a better experience for everyone.

“Throwing hair ties at Everest.”

Next, Julie called out a trend that’s been going on for years: “Throwing hair ties at Everest at the part when the track changes.”

If you’ve ever ridden Expedition Everest, you might have noticed the pile of hair ties collecting at the broken track section. For some reason, tossing hair ties has become a thing, but honestly… why? Not only does it make a mess, but it’s also kind of a weird tradition.

“The never-ending price hikes.”

Next, Roy shared, “The never-ending price hikes for everything. Can we have one year where prices don’t go up?”

Disney fans have been feeling the pinch for a while now. Ticket prices, food costs, hotel rates—it seems like everything just keeps getting more expensive. A little stability would be nice, wouldn’t it?

“Changing old movies and removing historical attractions.”

Last up, we’ve got Karrie who shared, “Taking old movies and changing them to fit current times does not teach kids about old ways. Plus, removing historical attractions to suit current generation.”

This one is definitely a hot topic. While some changes bring fresh energy to the parks, others feel like they erase pieces of Disney history. It’s a tricky balance between keeping things relevant and respecting the past.

Those were just some of your thoughts on the popular Disney trends you just can’t stand, and now we want to hear even more from you! Until then, keep it right here for all the latest Disney news! Also, follow us on Facebook to join in on the next discussion.
