Re: Disney for adults [BLeP]
I don't get it either.

While wife and I were living in Florida, we went to Universal Studios with a couple we are friends with. The mother of the woman in the couple had died the year before after a long, difficult illness (cancer). While sick, the mother had gotten hooked on the Harry Potter books and became a superfan, and traveled to Universal Studios to go to Harry Potter world as one of her last trips she could do while relatively healthy. Woman in the couple wanted to go see it herself, as part of some sort of understanding/closure process around her mother's death. I kind of, sort of, understood that, but it was a very specific one-off explanation.

Unrelated story: I used to work at a med device company in Florida. Chief Science Officer was a blunt, outspoken Englishwoman who was the daughter of a career English Army officer and had the regimented no-nonsense demeanor to go with it. She used to spend many weekends and holidays working informational kiosks and the like at Disney, just because she loved it there. I never understood it and thought it was really counter-intuitive given her dragonlady persona at a serious company, with products whose success depended on her and her team being all business.
