🌟 Disney Meet-Up Interest 🌟
Okay, real question…
Where are my people who love Disney… but don’t love big, overwhelming group meet-ups, forced conversations, or feeling like you have to “perform”? 😅
I’m thinking about putting together a super laid-back Disney day for:
• Young adults with special needs
• Anyone who’s shy, introverted, or deals with social anxiety
• Or honestly… anyone who just wants a chill, no-judgment Disney vibe
This is NOT:
❌ No schedules
❌ No “be here at this exact time”
❌ No forced group activities
This IS:
✅ Show up when you want
✅ Hang out if you feel like it
✅ Do your own thing if you don’t
✅ Smile, wave, ride Space Mountain… disappear into snacks 🍿😄
Think of it as: “We’re all here together… but totally at your own pace.”
Parents/caregivers are 100% welcome too — because you deserve a fun, easy day without the stress.
Right now I’m just seeing if this idea has a pulse… or if it’s just me talking to myself on the internet 🤣
👇 If this sounds even a little like your kind of day, drop a comment — “I’m in,” “maybe,” or even just your favorite Disney snack counts.
Let’s see if we can turn this into something really fun (and refreshingly low-key).
I'm glad you posted...(I guess we're all introverted?).
I hope folks (who are comfortable) will shout out when they're on property. It'd be nice to say 'hi' and wave.

😊 You’ve got a point—I didn’t even think about the irony of asking introverts to show up to a meetup. That’s almost cruel when you say it out loud.
Funny enough, I’m actually an introvert too… I just wear a very convincing “extrovert costume” for work. Comes with the job. Then I go home and recharge like a phone on 2%.
Honestly, this post is really for my daughter. She’s been having a tough time making friends, and I’m doing that classic dad move of trying to “fix” things, even if I don’t fully understand the playbook. Probably overthinking it, but that’s part of the job description too.
And I appreciate you responding—seriously. Sometimes posting feels like tossing a message into the void, especially when you’re already wired to be a little more on the quiet side. So this actually meant more than you probably realized.
I feel you - I'm a teacher and 'perform' extrovert for my classrooms (then drive home in silence to recoup). My family isn't as Disney-obsessed as me so the forums have been very nice. As an almost empty-nester, I'm struggling with the 'fix it Felix' method of parenting (college apps, ugh). I waffle between over-helping and letting him figure out the consequences without me...and then I over-help again. Someone once said parenting is like watching your heart live outside your body. Some days that saying feels too real.
You're not alone.

Yeah… I get that.
That whole “on all day, quiet on the drive home” thing is real. It’s like flipping a switch just to get through the day, then needing that silence to feel normal again.
And the parenting piece—man, that’s tough. That back and forth between helping and stepping back never really settles, does it? You think you’ve got the balance, then second guess it five minutes later. My wife’s feeling that even more than I am right now—three girls, and somehow it feels like her advice goes in one ear and out the other. Meanwhile, I’ll say the same thing and it suddenly lands. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense 😄
That quote about your heart living outside your body… yeah, some days that one hits a little too.
I’m really glad you said something. This is exactly the kind of connection I was hoping for with this idea. If we can find more people like this, I think we’ve got the start of something pretty special here.
