Synopsis

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A fascinating and enlightening deep dive into the infamous Disney Adult community from the woman behind the popular website The Disney Food Blog.

Disney Adults are grown-ups who derive singular, almost obsessive, joy from all things Disney. They devote countless hours and millions of dollars to Disney offerings, whether or not they have children. They’re avid fans of the films, devotees of the Disney theme parks, collectors of the vast world of Disney merchandise, cosplayers who dress in clothing inspired by Disney characters.

Their ranks are so large and their cultural impact so distinct that they have their own moniker and are an economic force unto themselves. They’re often maligned in the larger culture and put on a particularly high pedestal of cringe. But in truth, their obsessive fandom hints at a universal desire for pleasure and joy, for magic and escape.

There are darker sides to Disney mania that can’t be ignored, but the ranks of the Disney Adult community are broad, deep, and ever-growing. Disney Adults are a telling microcosm of modern America, highlighting the value we place on magic and escapism, and what we deem to be “acceptable” sources of joy.

Disney Adults dives deep into a misunderstood subculture, exploring the lives and experiences of a fascinating community to better understand its devotees’ unwavering passion for all things Disney, why it offends, and why it matters.

Disney Adults isn’t just a deep dive into a niche fandom—it’s a sharp, well-researched exploration of why joy, nostalgia, and identity still matter in a hyper-cynical world. AJ Wolfe brings a clear-eyed, engaging voice to a topic often dismissed or mocked, offering cultural insight without sentiment......more

First of all, I highly recommend getting the audiobook of this. Spending 8 hrs listening to AJ talk is fantastic. I love her voice. She could be narrating the history of canned soup and I'd be here for it. Second, if you're a Disney person this is a fever dream. I'm only dipping my toes into it, and......more

Goodreads review by Tarrah on August 08, 2025

This is not a book for the already Disney Adult. This is the book you give to the person who asks, "Disney, again?" I love Disney because it's the one place I have ever been, where you can be YOU and not have to worry about backlash. I AM the Disney Adult who uses Disney Food Blog, for research, to......more
