Just wondering what the feeling is among college kids about disney. My son will be attending Princeton in the Fall, and among seniors at his high school, loving disney world isn't so cool. Personally, I think it is their immaturity speaking. My son doesn't care that he gets negative comments about visiting disney. I expect that kids in college will be more mature. thanks

I think students either really really love it or are extremely negative and against it (I've heard that our school actually had protestors at a College Program presentation a few years back).
After our first year of college, 2 friends and I went down to WDW without any shame. We're not afraid to admit that we like it. Heck, I work there. I wouldn't still be there if I didn't love my role and the place itself.
I think in high school it can be one of those totally uncool things, but once you hit college, everyone is independent and open to many different things, that it really is not an issue.
Hope this helps!

Seriously, it just depends on the people and the situation. I don't think you can generalize all colleges and their students into being ok with disney, or not being ok with disney. Personally, everyone I know likes Disney to some degree (not to the insane degree I do, but it's hard to love disney that much!).

I think the reason a lot of people in high school are so negative about it is because they have never been there or do not know what WDW is really about. A lot of my friends think WDW is strictly the characters and only have rides like Dumbo and It's a Small World. If your son enjoys WDW now I'm sure he will continue to love it while in college. Most people on these boards have been to WDW many, many times and a lot of us have worked there as well. We all LOVE Disney!!!!

Thanks for all your responses! He has always been the kind of person who liked what he liked and didn't care what others thought. For instance, some kids in HS, aren't into Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings while he has always loved fantasy fiction.
Personally, I am a 46 year old attorney and mom of 3 and have loved Disney since I first visited in elementary school. The love for Disney World only gets stronger.
Good luck with college and your careers!
