I've met multiple couples who go to Disney like 3 or 4 times a year. One couple even had their three kids (7-12) who were absolutely sick of going. It was crazy to listen to a 7 year old beg to stay with their grandparents because they're already tired of going! No matter how much they complained though, they were still going to Disney for vacation! The other couples weren't any better either. It's like the parents had convinced themselves that this was all for their kids when it was them who were addicted to going. I just had to cut them all out.
I mean, I knew people like this too, and my family even did it somewhat, but we’re semi-locals (around 2 hours away) and so it was a weekend trip. I wouldn’t say we necessarily got tired of going to disney, but it wasn’t like, a magical experience. It was the equivalent to someone’s weekend beach trip or something. Knowing others nearby helped because it often became a trip with friends, or even family that we’re visiting from afar that we were kind of guides for, lol. Anyway, they have since jacked the price for seasonal/annual tickets DRAMATICALLY since I was a kid, so we don’t do that anymore and haven’t for several years. But I do still consider disney a weekend trip kind of deal internally, since I knew many people who did this, even those without a ton of money, back in the day. Since Floridians got discounts and all that.
Yeah I’m in that family lol I always enjoyed going to Disney but it’s definitely gotten overpriced and one of my parents I will say WAS unhealthily obsessed for a bit lol and they definitely believed that Disney was 100% pure, or at least 99% 💀 However that’s not to say that I didn’t immensely enjoy going to Disney and I remember it being so much fun… eventually it became a little too much and in a way became my second home and it probably shouldn’t have I would NEVER live there it sounds horrible and I value my freedom :)
They already have a crazy gated community with multi million dollar properties and the craziest part is even though you pwn the house you're not allowed to even paint a wall without prior approval from Disney.
@@ratbastian EPCOT, though he died before it could come to fruition. On the other hand, Henry Ford had several such microstates, so this still happened before anyways.
Fun fact. This is actually the type of thing that Walt Disney himself wanted. His original design of EPCOT, before he died, was an entire community for people who work for Disney or their sponsors. It would have everything you would need, shops, entertainment, that type of thing. The thing is, his plan was going to make it an attraction. I wouldn’t be surprised if they allow people to tour the place. Also, his plan was to have beta technology in the houses, tech that the community were not allowed to reject. This would happen while you were or weren’t home, where they just come in and replace your fridge or something. You were not allowed to refuse it. Also Walt wanted to control everything, basically becoming a dictator to the neighbourhood. He knew what was best, and he stripped any ability for the community to be able to vote, or change where they lived. Back then, everyone called Walt crazy, and basically axed the project once he died, changing it to the Epcot we know. Now they’re doing it themselves. It’s insane. Please, if you are thinking of living there, look into every part of the terms, what you’re expected to do/have, and what they do in the community. I’m not gonna knock you for wanting to go, just be careful :).

It sounds like a college campus(or fancy gated neighborhood) but with an oddly ominous aura. Like something evil is lurking but you’re not quite sure what it is.

I think the Disney adult epidemic is from people who never really grew up or had bad childhoods. they sort of cling to the comforts of being a kid and use Disney to do it in adulthood.
@@gazmodiusI mean, the only person I know who’s a Disney Adult actually had abusive parents. She used disney to cope with her shitty childhood as a kid, then it stuck with her as an adult. I think it’s just a mix.
Two observations: 1. Disney calls them cast members to avoid employment titles that have legal protections 2. I see Disney is trying to improve the PhilDickian dystopia’s market share
Cast member is just what they call all of their employees, I worked in a shop and my job title was literally customer service representative on paper. Stop spreading misinformation
Regrettably, there are many adults who experience the 'Peter Pan syndrome,' where they remain physically mature but mentally hold onto a childlike perspective.
Facts… I was always so confused in high school when I’d see other high schoolers around me obsessed with Disney. I’d be like did y’all never grow up? So you can imagine my shock at finding out that whole grown ass adults are still into that shit. WILD. Glad I was always a Cartoon Network kid lol
@@Alex-vm6ef Looks like their prince didn't come after all. Still, given the prices for Disneyland, Disneyworld, and basically anything else "Disney" these days, clearly many of them can keep it together long enough to hold a decent-paying job and afford going to these theme parks more than once in their lives.
Its a bit weird to live in a Disney themed neighborhood. But we don't have to start drudging up questionable pop psychology from the 80s every time we think something's unusual
The SpongeBob reference about Squidward going to that squid only community, with the same Easter island head house, to be alone is the best comparison lol. Charles is right on the money with that one. I would imagine though it would be worse because the community could easily become some sort of Disney cult with all these fanatical Disney Adults running around. I wouldn’t be shocked if it was successful that horror channels on TH-cam would make videos titled something like The Cult of Disney or the Creepiest Neighborhood on Earth. Wild stuff.
I remember visiting celebration on holiday and it was the most uncanny experience. They had a six person limit sign outside their basketball courts, most things were shut and the town hotel was borderline empty from what I recall. Safe to say I’m in no rush to return.
I'd expected them to build a neighbourhood for their employees, because when your boss is also your landlord you're basically suspended upside-down over the scorpion put when it comes time to negotiate wages.
@@warlordofbritannia You may not have sex with your spouse unless you play “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” during coitus. If you fail to finish by the time the song ends, you are executed on the spot. Mickey has snipers trained on everyone at any given moment. Smile. You’re on camera. *You’re always on camera.*
The creepiest part is that the neighborhood is modeled after palm springs neighborhoods, which is what inspired the houses and neighborhood's in that movie "Don't Worry Darling"
It didn’t get shut down at the time. Walt died before it could be constructed. The State of Florida was perfectly happy to give him private jurisdiction over the land to start EPCOT without government involvement.
I don't really judge Disney adults really hard. Everyone has hobbies, theirs is just expensive as hell but I'm not going to knock them for doing something that deviates from societal norms if it doesn't hurt anyone except maybe their finances
Considering how shady Disney is, I’d be not only concerned about the privacy of any adults who live there, but for the safety of any kids living there. We all know Disney’s wonderful track record…
Disney did this twice already. Once with Celebration and again with Golden Oaks. Grant it, Golden Oaks were multi-million dollar homes (extremely nice homes. My husband and I took a tour through there once) but still. Also I think the hotel chain Four Seasons has condos not too far from Golden Oaks that's also supported by Disney. I guess they're going for a less fancy demographic this tike around.
I went through a similar phase with Universal... it's a story for another time, but it ended up biting me in the ass. The fact that a huge borderline monopoly is building its own neighborhood is one step closer to Buy & Large from Wall-E being a real thing. That is something I do NOT want. Ever.
This reminds me of that fairly odd parents episode where Doug Dimmadome builds the gated community and starts feeding everyone hypnosis milk to make them stay.
I'm kinda surprised Charlie is just learning about this. I've been aware of it for quite a while, and knowing more about it... It's actually much worse than Charlie thinks it is.
Golden Oak homes start at 2 million and cost up to 12 million last I read. Everyone is also required to join the Golden Oak Private Club at roughly $19,000 a year. Plus $5,000 annual HOA fee. Surprisingly the HOA doesn't let you Disneyfy your yard. I don't think every ultra Disney Adult can afford that.
@@cyndi2865 From what I can see Golden Oak is technically on Disney Property and those membership fees come with luxurious perks. Cotino, the one being built in California is 2 hours from Disneyland, which surprised me. Looking at prices of houses in their other communities - DC Ranch and Silverleaf both in Arizona the homes are again in the millions, with maybe a few slightly less. I keep seeing mentions of New Urbanist. They're probably gated communities that may have a dash of pixie dust.
My 35 y/o childless hairdresser sold her salon here in Ft. Wayne to move to Orlando so she can go to Disney daily. She also planned to make money as an Instagram Disney influencer. That worked out about as well as you can imagine.
This actually already exits for the most part, it's called Golden Oaks. It's on property housing that's fully serviced by cast. Celebration was an attempt outside of the property but it gained it's own township a long time ago.
This does make me wish for a horror movie where people are trapped in a housing colony owned by a company and they just quietly disappear anyone that badmouths them
I, personally, would totally move close to WDW if I lived in Orlando... I mean, you have plenty of theme parks in the area and every Disney fan loves going to the parks the same way most people love to drink on the weekends.
Exactly. The same people trolling this as the same ones who will watch someone live life through a screen for 12 hours a day - but that’s socially acceptable somehow because “streamers”.
@@RakoonCDFUCKEN FOUND YOUR ASS 📸📸📸📸 (Kiki btw, also I agree with city walk cos there are ways to Not too much spend money in LA and still have a good time)
Scary thing is this will be an HOA and as someone who works in property management I can Def say with the immense liberty they give you when writing HOA bylaws, all of these crazy "Disney restrictions" are most definitely 100% possible.
They did this before in Florida. It went OK for a little while until there was a murder in the Disney world neighborhood and the concept lost steam. It seems like they dusted it off for another go 'round
This is what Walt Disney envisioned when he was working on Disney World (from what I've seen/heard), so this seemed inevitable. Still incredibly weird to think about being a real place to not just stay but live in.
this sounds like the perfect setting for a horror movie, all it takes is one bad opinion of disney and the neighborhood elders dress up in their favorite costumes and then begins the hunt...
I can't wait to see the theme they give the mortuary! What will Disney coffins look like? Will they build a tourist train to go through the cemetery like a zoo's safari "ride?"
And that's when you learn that Goofy is far more hung then you could ever imagine, and it's all over. Goofy will be ah-hyucking your wife, really making her feel the magic, every night from now on
Imagine a child being born into one of these communities and their entire life revolving around Disney. One day the child escapes into the real world and it would be like a real life version of breaking out of Barbieland.
The idea of Disney marketing an entire community on the idea of it being this ideal, somewhat removed from reality location is some textbook cyberpunk material. Leaving the harshness of the real world behind to live in a sanitized corporate pen
Yeah, because creating gated communities and distancing them from reality is such a wonderful and totally not manipulative concept. Sounds like the beginning of a dystopian novel. Way to go Disney.
You're essentially describing the super wealthy (SUUUUPER wealthy) families in the US, because that's exactly what they do. They go off and live in gated communities with other SUPER wealthy people, private educations, etc... never interacting with reality. Then these very same people turn around and become our elected leaders lmfao. Anywayssss, yeah not a great idea.
Imagine you live here and befriend your neighbours and end up knowing them for years and then finding out their a Disney employee and just doing their job. Lmao
It's crazy there's an indie game that came out recently (American Arcadia) about a massive entertainment industry corporation who created a city and the main character discovers that like half the population are actors. Really great game ! Inspired by Epcot and Truman show.
Man-made dystopian horrors aside, living in a place like that seems like it'd get old very quick for anyone not terminally mousebrained. It'd be like the part in Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas where Huey Louie and Dewey wish that it was Christmas every day and eventually get sick of it, except I'm sure it'd be _way_ easier to undo a wish than it would be to try to escape Disney after selling your soul to them.
Honestly, I think that if those actual adults actually were critikal of what they saw and stuff, they probably would have gotten tired already, because they already just mindlessly consume. Also they probably would be more aware of how shady Disney has been, or realized how weird Walt was
If you’ve never visited The Villages near Ocala, then you wouldn’t know that this ALREADY EXISTS. My parents live there and it’s the most dystopian, weird, fake ass place I’ve ever been. It felt like being in Westworld. They have music playing through the lamp posts in the streets, everyone that works there acts like Disney cast members. I was so ready to leave as soon as I got there. Felt like a weird cult.
I worked with a girl that was a Disney cultist. She told me once she had watched every single thing on Disney +. Even the for kids stuff. She had a Disney credit card, Disney tattoos, Disney merch, went to Disney multiple times a year, even got REALLY REALLY mad when her fiance proposed to her and it wasn't at Disney
That girl needs help. She must be using her obsession with Disney to fill a hole in her life. I actually got obsessed with comics when I was younger. I would get really upset about the smallest things over it. It was a way for me to cope and ignore the trauma of my Dad leaving. Eventually I grew up, and I realized I got too upset over or depended too my much on my comics. So I took a break and got into some other stuff and faced my problems.
i disagree. devoting that much of your life to one franchise at the very least deserves to be examined. passion can cross into obsession pretty easily.
Defunctland has some good documentaries on Disney's original ideas for planned communities. Apparently he was so exact about his community plan for epcot that you wouldn't even be allowed to change your own lightbulbs.
It's not that you wouldn't be allowed to change your lightbulb, it's that you wouldn't have to. I freaking love the origional design for the Experimental Prototype City Of Tomorrow. I find it more utopian than dystopian, but I believe these sort of things freak people out. Epcot was not as creepy as this community Charlie is describing here. I also want to point out that the current layout of most cities is chaotic and inefficient. At least Walt Disney's designs resolved key urbanization dilemmas.
@@slish438 I mean, you would literally be signing up to be a part of an experiment in which Disney people could come into your house at any time to swap out appliances and the like. A sticking point in the design was that if the residents stayed too long, they would legally have to be given the right to elect local officials, which Walt was completely against. If nothing else, it's weird.
wow just read about that. heres an excerpt: *In a statement to Jones' brother, who made the request, Disney said, "We have striven to preserve the same innocence and magic around our characters that brought Ollie such joy. "For that reason, we follow a policy that began with Walt Disney himself that does not permit the use of characters on headstones, cemetery or other memorial markers or funeral urns,"*
@@Birdboy69 tbf that wasn’t his last dying wish and what good is it when the coffin is buried? That’s not a compromise, Disney is just evil and has been for a very long time.
As a person from the Palm Springs area, tons of people are largely against this project. The neighborhood design uses so much water and Palm Springs has always had drought problems. Not to mention the redlining is crazyyyy with how much these houses will cost
I remember first seeing them gate off the land and was curious what they were building just to have the most massive disappointment of the “Disney community” lol
The crazy thing is, this has already existed. There is a neighborhood in Disney that has houses that are completely themed Disney that sell for on average 10 million dollars. Its truly insane
Yeah! I knew this concept sounded familiar. I thought I was going insane for a second there thinking they never existed lmfao. I always heard rumors as a kid that that particular Disney community was some cult or Stepford Wives situation lmfao
@@ShyShy_999 we really have to appreciate people that actually are here that aren’t bots sometime, like the comment you sent, was actually typed, not auto sent after like 30 seconds of the videos release
Why would they do that when they can just fire them? Another 9,000 Disney workers are being laid off in the name of cutting costs, but axing the creepy Disney desert cult community that is bound to cost several billion is just not an option, I guess...
As someone who worked in the parks, the worst Disney adults are the ones in big groups with matching T-shirts. And Im not talking like school groups, I'm talking like groups of 25 thirty-something year olds all wearing "drink around the world" shirts. I worked at Oga's Cantina in Galaxy's Edge and seating them was always a nightmare and half of them were already wasted before even entering the bar.
i'm not concerned about the spies or the "cast" because i know people have to be rational after all , i'm concerned about the children that will get raised there and they will literally make disney their whole childhood , that's just scary
Yeah idk how these kids are gonna adjust to the real world should they ever leave! It will be the latest version of people leaving communities built around extreme lifestyles. Think ex-cult members, conspiracy theorists, religious fundamentalists, etc.
@Sweet_Dee i understand but like , disney is literally a company for like fantasy cartoon . it's not like a cult not a religion or anything normal , it's like imprisoning a person with only one tv channel just playing over and over agian
@@Sweet_Dee what i mean is they're gonna have to adapt to their environment and their environment is literally just fictional fantasy cartoon characters. that's not healthy
Hi! Person who lived in Celebration, FL here. Not a lot of people know about Celebration but it was originally developed by Disney and was “supposed to be” what the ideal image of Epcot was supposed to be. Epcot stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. In the end its just another place in Florida lol. Nobody is Disney worshipping shit
This reminds me so much of those company towns that coal companies would build near the mines, where the company owned your house and you were paid in company scrip (instead of real currency), which can only be used at the company store.
My former boss (the director of a daycare) favored going thousands of dollars in debt every year to take her 4 kids to Disney multiple times a year - like usually 4 or 5 times every single year. It's crazy to me that she among others would go bananas for something like this. It straight up sounds like a dystopian nightmare waiting to happen 💀
The biggest problem with a Disney neighborhood in my opinion is the novelty would wear thin quickly. Disney World is fun to go to sometimes but living there would make it feel less special.
See I would agree with you but I know people from my hometown who go into debt every year to visit Disney multiple times a year. Like they live in an RV because they would rather be at Disney multiple times than live in a normal house. So bizarre to me.
@@markieclift2193 Huh then I guess I am a normal Disney fan. Universal is better. There are more fast rollercoasters. Hershey Park is the best. You actually get to go on the rides. LOL
Funny thing about this is that the location they chose for this storyliving community is about a 2 hour drive away from disneyland. You could get a place much closer for (presumably) much cheaper
Don't worry, they'll have an Elon tunnel straight into Donald Ducks cloaca with only a marginal chance of everyone dying of asphyxiation down in the gamer RGB LED lit underground.
Oh wow, I didn't even look to see where it's located. Yeah, Rancho Mirage is NOT close, especially given the shitty traffic down there. At least Golden Oak had the good sense of been located within the overall Disney World resort. Very strange.
Former Disney employee here: cast member is the blanket term that Disney uses to describe their workers. Before Walt Disney died, he tried to plan for a city that he controlled - EPCOT. There would definitely be events. Having worked at Walt Disney World, firework shows would be set off every night at 9:20 sharp, just for the sake of being extra. Extra is Disney’s main motto.
EPCOT is a park in Disney World, and all that stuff happens. EPCOT was meant to showcase technology and predictions for the future. I mean, that’s what the park said anyway. Who knows, I’ve probably been fooled lol
Can verify Disney being extra (Former Epcot merch, still local).. Celebration was super dystopian but Golden Oaks is kind of charming in my opinion but I’m the target demographic 😂
@@xWatexx Walt's vison for EPCOT was a futuristic city, but he died before that became a thing and it thankfully became a showcase for new technology instead. Defunctland's documentary on it is pretty good imo..
That concept became Celebration, but it didn't preform well with how strict the HOA was. Now Celebration is a great example of a well planned new urbanist neighborhood. It's actually pretty nice, and isn't even gated.
A community where a single company would be in charge of everything, the shops and facilities are all operated by "cast memebers". Seriously how is this *not* considered creepy by everyone?

My mom's ex-boyfriend's sister (ex-almost-step-aunt?), sold her house to move down there right next to the park in Florida. She had her whole house done in Disney before she sold it. Turned out to be too expensive, now they live in an RV behind her mother's house. They had four kids in that RV before two moved out. Terrifying the level of obsession these people get to... Little edit P.S: they still go to the park at least 4-5 times a year.
Regarding surveillance and ownage from a creative's point of view; I lived on Disney grounds via their College Program back in 08 and boy that was already a hard pill to swallow; had to hide the fact I was an artist working on my own original material during my stay, because they can legally put a vice grip on your work and claim it as Disney's property while you're still onsite. Imagine being the child or young adult wanting to pursue their creative passions, but they are stuck living in the Disneyburbs with parents that have permanently stapled mouse ears to their heads knowing they will likely have to keep their non-Disney adjacent stories to themselves until they can escape from the Happiest Place on Earth.

@@gazmodiusI mean, the only person I know who’s a Disney Adult actually had abusive parents. She used disney to cope with her shitty childhood as a kid, then it stuck with her as an adult. I think it’s just a mix.
Two observations: 1. Disney calls them cast members to avoid employment titles that have legal protections
2. I see Disney is trying to improve the PhilDickian dystopia’s market share
I worked there and trust me they have official employment titles. Cast member is just a blanket term.
Cast member is just what they call all of their employees, I worked in a shop and my job title was literally customer service representative on paper. Stop spreading misinformation
Why do you have so many likes even though you’re so wrong
@@Jiub_SNmy Mom was a Cast Member in the 70's. She said they were all called Cast Members because Everyones job is Important
Proof for #1?
Regrettably, there are many adults who experience the 'Peter Pan syndrome,' where they remain physically mature but mentally hold onto a childlike perspective.
So basically, the actual moral of the original Peter Pan story, before it was “Disney-fied” to celebrate Peter Pan’s childlike perspective.
They are traumatized and desperate to cope, bc of a mix of society failing and expectations they had set by childhood
Facts… I was always so confused in high school when I’d see other high schoolers around me obsessed with Disney. I’d be like did y’all never grow up? So you can imagine my shock at finding out that whole grown ass adults are still into that shit. WILD. Glad I was always a Cartoon Network kid lol
@@Alex-vm6ef Looks like their prince didn't come after all. Still, given the prices for Disneyland, Disneyworld, and basically anything else "Disney" these days, clearly many of them can keep it together long enough to hold a decent-paying job and afford going to these theme parks more than once in their lives.
Its a bit weird to live in a Disney themed neighborhood. But we don't have to start drudging up questionable pop psychology from the 80s every time we think something's unusual
The SpongeBob reference about Squidward going to that squid only community, with the same Easter island head house, to be alone is the best comparison lol. Charles is right on the money with that one. I would imagine though it would be worse because the community could easily become some sort of Disney cult with all these fanatical Disney Adults running around. I wouldn’t be shocked if it was successful that horror channels on TH-cam would make videos titled something like The Cult of Disney or the Creepiest Neighborhood on Earth. Wild stuff.

Are we forgetting about Celebration Florida? It’s a whole Disney area that shoots confetti out of the streetlights to simulate snow
I remember visiting celebration on holiday and it was the most uncanny experience. They had a six person limit sign outside their basketball courts, most things were shut and the town hotel was borderline empty from what I recall. Safe to say I’m in no rush to return.
You described this perfectly 😭😭😭
I'd expected them to build a neighbourhood for their employees, because when your boss is also your landlord you're basically suspended upside-down over the scorpion put when it comes time to negotiate wages.
Yeah they might as well just not pay the employees and say that they aren’t paying them because rent and hoa fees took up their whole paycheck
A lot of it also just screams “company town” to me, and knowing Walt Disney, I have a feeling he’d be pretty proud of that.
Minus no one who works for the company can afford to live there..

This was part of the ultimate dream that Walt Disney had that got shut down at the time. Crazy to think they are bringing it back.
It didn’t get shut down at the time. Walt died before it could be constructed. The State of Florida was perfectly happy to give him private jurisdiction over the land to start EPCOT without government involvement.

I don't really judge Disney adults really hard. Everyone has hobbies, theirs is just expensive as hell but I'm not going to knock them for doing something that deviates from societal norms if it doesn't hurt anyone except maybe their finances
Not to mention that this takes them away from the general public, so it wont be our problem anyways
BOTS ARE FUCKING ASS!
I wanna be first before them sorry
Tbh the only entity I'm judging here is Disney itself
Considering how shady Disney is, I’d be not only concerned about the privacy of any adults who live there, but for the safety of any kids living there. We all know Disney’s wonderful track record…
Disney did this twice already. Once with Celebration and again with Golden Oaks. Grant it, Golden Oaks were multi-million dollar homes (extremely nice homes. My husband and I took a tour through there once) but still. Also I think the hotel chain Four Seasons has condos not too far from Golden Oaks that's also supported by Disney. I guess they're going for a less fancy demographic this tike around.
I bet that people who live in these neighborhoods still have to pay for Disney plus
I went through a similar phase with Universal... it's a story for another time, but it ended up biting me in the ass. The fact that a huge borderline monopoly is building its own neighborhood is one step closer to Buy & Large from Wall-E being a real thing.
That is something I do NOT want. Ever.
For the love of Christ I hope Universal doesn't do anything similar to this.
When he said you can only smile it reminds me of when is avatar the last Airbender when they said “there is no war in Ba Sing Se”
This reminds me of that fairly odd parents episode where Doug Dimmadome builds the gated community and starts feeding everyone hypnosis milk to make them stay.
The worst part is that it's basically the second time they have done this

Golden Oak homes start at 2 million and cost up to 12 million last I read. Everyone is also required to join the Golden Oak Private Club at roughly $19,000 a year. Plus $5,000 annual HOA fee. Surprisingly the HOA doesn't let you Disneyfy your yard.
I don't think every ultra Disney Adult can afford that.
I don’t understand how if new neighborhood is different then Golden Oak. Is it just more all inclusive?
@@cyndi2865 From what I can see Golden Oak is technically on Disney Property and those membership fees come with luxurious perks. Cotino, the one being built in California is 2 hours from Disneyland, which surprised me. Looking at prices of houses in their other communities - DC Ranch and Silverleaf both in Arizona the homes are again in the millions, with maybe a few slightly less. I keep seeing mentions of New Urbanist. They're probably gated communities that may have a dash of pixie dust.
my 4 year old brother got kicked in the face by an "disney adult", he was in a stroller.
My 35 y/o childless hairdresser sold her salon here in Ft. Wayne to move to Orlando so she can go to Disney daily. She also planned to make money as an Instagram Disney influencer. That worked out about as well as you can imagine.
Why did you mention "Childless". What's that got to do with this?
@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307 I found it odd that she fixated on Disney as an adult in he 30s
This actually already exits for the most part, it's called Golden Oaks. It's on property housing that's fully serviced by cast. Celebration was an attempt outside of the property but it gained it's own township a long time ago.
This does make me wish for a horror movie where people are trapped in a housing colony owned by a company and they just quietly disappear anyone that badmouths them
Living in a Disney neighborhood honestly sounds worse than prison
Disney being greedy and cruel?! No! I don't believe this. I CAN'T believe this!

I know too many adults that have passes to disney and go at least once a month. It’s ridiculous how that mouse got a grip on them
the idea of a disney company town should terrify anyone
They did this before in Florida. It went OK for a little while until there was a murder in the Disney world neighborhood and the concept lost steam. It seems like they dusted it off for another go 'round
The golden Oak community I think. As far as I know they're still up and running in Celebration, FL. The homes are mega huge
I live near this project, it will not be the only dystopian neighborhood in the area which is sad
Please does anyone know any horror books that have a similar premise? This unironically feels like such a good setting for a dystopian horror story
This is what Walt Disney envisioned when he was working on Disney World (from what I've seen/heard), so this seemed inevitable. Still incredibly weird to think about being a real place to not just stay but live in.
Walt wasnt really a nice person when he was alive either
This WAS walt disney's idea. Thats what he designed epcot to be.
is this not sounding like Outer Worlds with town being owned by corporations? cause this is what it sounds like, just without space
this sounds like the perfect setting for a horror movie, all it takes is one bad opinion of disney and the neighborhood elders dress up in their favorite costumes
and then begins the hunt...
All Disney’s fans (including formerly me) have been sucked dry, no one can afford these houses. 💀

Inspired by Epcot and Truman show.
Man-made dystopian horrors aside, living in a place like that seems like it'd get old very quick for anyone not terminally mousebrained. It'd be like the part in Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas where Huey Louie and Dewey wish that it was Christmas every day and eventually get sick of it, except I'm sure it'd be _way_ easier to undo a wish than it would be to try to escape Disney after selling your soul to them.
you mean mickey-brained?
Yo! I remember that movie lol
Honestly, I think that if those actual adults actually were critikal of what they saw and stuff, they probably would have gotten tired already, because they already just mindlessly consume. Also they probably would be more aware of how shady Disney has been, or realized how weird Walt was
that movie had no right to go as hard as it did.
If you’ve never visited The Villages near Ocala, then you wouldn’t know that this ALREADY EXISTS. My parents live there and it’s the most dystopian, weird, fake ass place I’ve ever been.

She had a Disney credit card, Disney tattoos, Disney merch, went to Disney multiple times a year, even got REALLY REALLY mad when her fiance proposed to her and it wasn't at Disney
That girl needs help. She must be using her obsession with Disney to fill a hole in her life. I actually got obsessed with comics when I was younger. I would get really upset about the smallest things over it. It was a way for me to cope and ignore the trauma of my Dad leaving. Eventually I grew up, and I realized I got too upset over or depended too my much on my comics. So I took a break and got into some other stuff and faced my problems.
I understand the rest. That's just typical nerd shit. The last one cross the line.

Defunctland has some good documentaries on Disney's original ideas for planned communities. Apparently he was so exact about his community plan for epcot that you wouldn't even be allowed to change your own lightbulbs.
It's not that you wouldn't be allowed to change your lightbulb, it's that you wouldn't have to. I freaking love the origional design for the Experimental Prototype City Of Tomorrow. I find it more utopian than dystopian, but I believe these sort of things freak people out. Epcot was not as creepy as this community Charlie is describing here. I also want to point out that the current layout of most cities is chaotic and inefficient. At least Walt Disney's designs resolved key urbanization dilemmas.
@@slish438 I mean, you would literally be signing up to be a part of an experiment in which Disney people could come into your house at any time to swap out appliances and the like. A sticking point in the design was that if the residents stayed too long, they would legally have to be given the right to elect local officials, which Walt was completely against.
If nothing else, it's weird.
Remember when Disney denied a dying child his last wish to have Spider-Man on his gravestone? That really happened.
wow just read about that. heres an excerpt:
*In a statement to Jones' brother, who made the request, Disney said, "We have striven to preserve the same innocence and magic around our characters that brought Ollie such joy.
"For that reason, we follow a policy that began with Walt Disney himself that does not permit the use of characters on headstones, cemetery or other memorial markers or funeral urns,"*

As a person from the Palm Springs area, tons of people are largely against this project. The neighborhood design uses so much water and Palm Springs has always had drought problems. Not to mention the redlining is crazyyyy with how much these houses will cost

Former Disney employee here: cast member is the blanket term that Disney uses to describe their workers. Before Walt Disney died, he tried to plan for a city that he controlled - EPCOT. There would definitely be events. Having worked at Walt Disney World, firework shows would be set off every night at 9:20 sharp, just for the sake of being extra. Extra is Disney’s main motto.
EPCOT is a park in Disney World, and all that stuff happens. EPCOT was meant to showcase technology and predictions for the future. I mean, that’s what the park said anyway. Who knows, I’ve probably been fooled lol
Can verify Disney being extra (Former Epcot merch, still local).. Celebration was super dystopian but Golden Oaks is kind of charming in my opinion but I’m the target demographic 😂
@@xWatexx Walt's vison for EPCOT was a futuristic city, but he died before that became a thing and it thankfully became a showcase for new technology instead. Defunctland's documentary on it is pretty good imo..
That concept became Celebration, but it didn't preform well with how strict the HOA was. Now Celebration is a great example of a well planned new urbanist neighborhood. It's actually pretty nice, and isn't even gated.
Former Disney employee...? Looks like we got a digital ghost here.
A community where a single company would be in charge of everything, the shops and facilities are all operated by "cast memebers". Seriously how is this *not* considered creepy by everyone?

Regarding surveillance and ownage from a creative's point of view; I lived on Disney grounds via their College Program back in 08 and boy that was already a hard pill to swallow; had to hide the fact I was an artist working on my own original material during my stay, because they can legally put a vice grip on your work and claim it as Disney's property while you're still onsite.

I'm gonna be real: this sounds EXACTLY like a dystopian novel I've read but I can't for the life of me remember the name of it.

@Antonio-GransciI know better than to comment on TH-cam but holy sh*t bro. You realize that media is used as allegories and to expose problems in society right? And why the heck bring up zoomers lol. Their comment is ambiguous to age and time period. You are probably just a troll but still lmao. Seems like you have issues with society that you put in TH-cam comments when you should write a book.
imagine you come back home and see your kids shitty drawing of a rainbow now has a disney copyright logo on it
