Goes to Disneyland Paris.
The first two could be swapped, and isn't Disney World "better" in many regards? One reason Disney secretly bought all the land in Florida was to better do what he wanted to do in California but couldn't because of space and regulations.

As a British guy who worked in the USA for a while, my colleagues couldn’t fathom that I had no interest in going to Disneyland. It was kinda weird the obsession some of them had with it.
Cult of Disney is eerily real. Maybe it's the US version of how some Brits obsess over the royalty.
Yeah, it's weird and cringy how into it some adults are. I think part of it is status, though. Everyone knows Disney is expensive, so taking your family is a way to show off your status to everyone with the pics you take for social media.

Is there a "went to Disney recently and didn't like it" category?
Not anymore, you're now declared an undesirable immigrant and will be deported.
Don't need to go there to know I wouldn't like this commercial overcrowded monstrosity
galaxy brain -- doesn't want to go to disney
Their advertising made me actively not want to go. They show kids screaming with joy at their parents saying they are going. My reaction would have been like, ok. I knew this, I didn't want to go because I felt like I would disappoint my parents with a lack of excitement over going.
I love Jenny Nicholson but I avoid her videos about theme parks just so I don't develop my own obsession with Disney. I already like Nintendo too much...
I'm a native Floridian who's never been to Disney. Other Floridians seem disgusted by my presence when it comes up
I consider myself well off and have never been to Disney. It just seems like a regular park with more hype.
There's a Mickey park next to where I live (not US) but I never even considered going. I never saw it as anything other than a way to pull US tourists and children in (the two main target demographics apparently).
Once dated a girl who's family who had season passes to Disney.
Neither I nor they even live in the USA.
Went to Disney 3x. Once when my grandpa died, then my grandma, then my dad. Allllll paid for by life insurance payouts. Not sure where I fit in here.
Grave robber
I know this is a joke but there's people who don't accept life insurance payouts because they legitimately feel this way.
That's super strange. I hope they're wealthy.

We'll let you hang out in the middle group.
I went once in my early 20s. Drove all night with a friend and stayed with his grandparents. Figured I should see what it's like since my parents didn't have vacation money when I was a kid.
Magic Kingdom was pretty lame to a 23 year old stoner. Should have spent the gas money on drugs.
Disney, where you have to be told how to have fun, where to take pictures and pay too much for crap made in China.
The really wealthy families aren’t going to a Disney park either. Their kids have had passports since before they could walk, and the family is going to an exclusive foreign resort for a trip that costs more for a week than most folks make in a year.
I assumed the classes were
Never Disney = Rich/Poor Sometimes = Upper-middle Annually = Middle Class
I went from "goes to Disney Land annually" to "hasn't been to Disney Land for over 20 years."

- Season pass holder
- Season pass and Lightning Lane pass holder
- Member of Club 33
This is the right answer.
Club 33 is the name of a number of private dining clubs. As of March 2025, the reported cost to join had increased to $80,000 with annual costs of $22,000.

People who go to Disneyland multiple times a year could be just a Disney gay who lives close to the park. They are not some exclusive class.

Long ago when the family lived in Florida near Orlando and prices were a lot cheaper, resident discounts made a whole summer's worth of visits worth it. We realized the hypocrisy when the kids started getting bored of certain rides because they had done them so much, meanwhile some people even then would save up money for a one time visit of a day or so.
But overall the kids did have fun. It was a unique thing to experience.
