Disney World has some seriously dedicated fans, otherwise known as Disney Adults.
Disney Adults are willing to drop money on the latest pair of Minnie Mouse ears; they don’t mind waking up early to rope drop and staying all the way until the park closes. They can tell you so many fun facts and act as your park map. Although Disney Adults love Disney World and continue to visit the Most Magical Place on Earth, there are just some things that you could not pay them to do.
As we said, Disney Adults are dedicated, and hey, we get it; our team here at AE is filled with Disney Adults. But sometimes, no matter how much you love going to the parks, there are just certain things that Disney Adults would not even do—even if they were being paid. So, to answer this question, we reached out to some Disney Adults—you are amazing readers—to get your thoughts!
You Couldn’t Pay Disney Adults to Ride Mission: SPACE – Orange
Mission: SPACE is a simulator ride in EPCOT. There are two versions of this attraction, one version of which takes you to Earth and is called Mission: SPACE – Green. This version of the ride is much more tame. But for you thrill seekers, there is Mission: SPACE – Orange, which not only takes you to Mars but is super intense and provides a more thrilling ride experience. But this ride is really for the thrill seekers, and Disney Adults shared that they avoid Mission: SPACE – Orange at all costs.
So many readers said that you could not pay them to ride Mission: SPACE – Orange, and some even said you could not get them to ride Mission: SPACE – Green. One reader said, “I like to keep the contents of my stomach in my stomach.”
Let’s just say Mission: SPACE – Orange is not the attraction you choose to ride after eating lunch or if you are prone to motion sickness.
You Couldn’t Pay Disney Adults to Eat a Turkey Leg
Now, there are a lot of great classic snacks around Disney World. You can’t go wrong with a Mickey pretzel, a Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar, a churro, or some popcorn. But there is one snack that almost all Disney Adults agree is a skip, and that is a turkey leg.
Along with Mission: Space—Orange, turkey leg was mentioned so much. Many people said “no way” and “never” in response to the thought of eating a turkey leg. We get it; there are much better snack options across the resort.
Here’s a Super Weird Fact About Disney World’s Controversial Turkey Legs. You’re Welcome.
You Couldn’t Pay Disney Adults to Ride the Astro Orbiter
In Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom, Astro Orbiter sits above the entire land. It is so high up that you need to take an elevator to get to it. While this attraction is essentially just a spinner attraction like Dumbo or The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, some Disney Adults feel that this version of the spinner attraction is worse.
One reader shared that they were “ not okay for the rest of the day after that “innocent” ride. And [they] can ride Mission: SPACE — Orange, no problem. Those rockets are what nightmares are made of.”
You Couldn’t Pay Disney Adults to Ride Space Mountain
Also in Tomorrowland, Space Mountain is a super popular attraction, but it is a little awkward. It can be hard to load in and out of the seats. When you are exiting the attraction, you can feel a little bit of panic, trying to get up and get your bag out while not holding anything up.
One reader says they skip it now because they “would like to be able to walk off the ride.” No one wants to have to deal with trying to look graceful after riding a thrilling roller coaster through the dark.
