For decades, Disney Parks have set out to be the happiest place on Earth for attendees, but it sounds like some believe that has an expiration date. Earlier this month, a Facebook post from 2018 went viral on Reddit and Twitter, in which an anonymous mother goes on a rant about how “immature millennials” are ruining the park for families.

After blaming her son not getting a Disney pretzel on a “childless woman” being part of a long line, the woman goes on to argue that people without children should be banned from the park, and that mothers with children should get to skip every line in the park (which theoretically creates a whole other logistical nightmare, but that’s neither here nor there).

The post – and an op-ed agreeing with it in the New York Post – has gotten quite a lot of attention in recent weeks, with Disney fans of all ages pointing out the flaws in the argument. Here are just a few of those responses.
Good Take
This sort of thing makes me so embarrassed to be a parent. I pray my kids get to be adults with enough resources to be childless in Disneyland if they choose. https://t.co/enacMZCw2t

Oooo
Just because you decide to bring the exhaustion of a child into your life does not mean that I canโt eat pretzels at Disney World, Karen. https://t.co/zGkljHwveM

Welp
Didn’t really have a desire to go Disney before now, but after reading this ridiculous rant I’m ready to pop on a pair of Minnie ears. #SorryYourKidsSucks #TeamNoKids https://t.co/XnV1MnEHa8

Thank You
Wait… If people without children are banned AND people WITH children get to skip the line, will this not simply create an equally-long line of people who are skipping the line? https://t.co/a6OTzILbtP

maybe stop shaming people for enjoying a freaking theme park. pic.twitter.com/b9VP7MhaRY
Exactly
No, dropping a *ridiculous* amount of money to take your kid to Disney World before they can properly form memories is weird. https://t.co/atablJxeqV
