Disney World is for Adults, Too.
Summary
A self-proclaimed Disney adult who actually worked at the parks defends going to Disney World solo, sparking a heated debate with Kareem about whether the Mouse belongs to kids or grownups with disposable income. The rider makes her case: adults get drunk around the world at Epcot, ride Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (a trip about a drunk-driving toad who goes to hell), and drop serious cash on tickets kids can't afford. She even confesses to doing mushrooms at Disneyland on her 34th birthday, getting on Soarin' and realizing "life is actually could be worth living." Kareem's never been but admits he can't really judge. He accepts her for who she is. She's heading to Margaritaville next.

So, what's your take? Disney World is for adults, too. Oh, 100% disagree. And I knew you would. Disney World is for children.
Oh, do children have $10,000 to go? I don't think they do. You could spend your time on the subway. I'm spending my time on Space Mountain. Have you ever been? I might take my child. You can go with a child, but you can also go by yourself.
No, you can't. Yes, you—you get drunk around the world at Epcot. You know what Epcot is? It's the kingdom golf ball.
The kingdom? Epcot. Epcot. Grow up. Epcot is the golf ball. Wait, have you been or not been? Not only have I been, I worked there. And you like seeing adults there?
Yes, of course there's nutcases. Of course there's absolute goofy heads. Literally goofy. Literally goofy. Gorch. That's what he says.
Yeah, I have a shirt that says it. I only wear it to Disney. I don't wear it on the streets. You're a Disney adult. Yeah. Let me say it to camera. I'm a Disney adult.
Why would you rather go to Disneyland? I'm not saying rather than go to Paris. Why is it one or the other? You could go to Paris. Eiffel Tower. Eiffel Tower. Then you could go to Disneyland. Castle. Hello. Bonjour. They have castles in Paris. Real ones, not fake ones.
Do they have a dragon in the bottom going glowing fire? No, they don't.
What else do you like about it? Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. You know about that?
No. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is a ride about a toad that drunk drives, goes to court, goes to hell. Rest in peace, Mr. Toad. Mr. Toad.
What movie is he from? I—I honestly couldn't tell you. I had no idea that Disney—I did mushrooms at Disneyland on my 34th birthday. I got on the ride Soarin' and I said life is actually could be worth living.
Look, here's what I'm going to say. Yeah. I've never been there. I can't judge it. I don't like the vibe, but I'm going to accept you for who you are. I appreciate that. And I'm going to Margaritaville.
Yes. Wait, what?
