Whether you find them enchanting or a little over-the-top, \u201cDisney adults\u201d are a growing force, and new figures show that Scotland is one of their favourite places to call home.<\/p>\n
New data from AttractionTickets.com has revealed the UK\u2019s Disney Adult Capitals, based on solo and couple ticket bookings to Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris and Disneyland California over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n
Glasgow<\/a> came in second place, with 1,347 bookings, beating out much larger cities, while Edinburgh<\/a> and Dundee<\/a> also made the top 20, ranking 10th and 19th respectively.<\/p>\n London took the top spot overall, but cities across Scotland and the North of England dominated the list, highlighting the nationwide appeal of the Disney brand among adult fans.<\/p>\n Disney adults, affectionately known as \u201cDisnerds\u201d or \u201cDisneyphiles,\u201d aren\u2019t just casual viewers of animated films. They\u2019re part of a passionate and highly engaged community that treats Disney not just as entertainment, but as a lifestyle.<\/p>\n From wearing themed clothing and collecting merchandise to organising elaborate Disney<\/a>-themed holidays, events, and even weddings, many adults have fully embraced the magic of Mickey and beyond.<\/p>\n The phenomenon may feel modern, but it dates back decades. Adult fandom has been steadily growing since the opening of Disneyland in 1955 and Walt Disney World in 1971.<\/p>\n Originally marketed as family destinations, the timeless stories, nostalgia, and immersive environments captured the imaginations of adults just as much as children.<\/p>\n Chris Bradshaw, Marketing Director at AttractionTickets.com, believes that shift is now reflected in the way people travel: “This data shows that a huge number of adults across the UK enjoy travelling to Disney parks solo or in a couple without children.<\/p>\n “Cities like Glasgow and Liverpool ranking so highly also suggests that the Disney fandom is thriving well beyond the capital, and even some smaller areas like Dundee and Warrington.”<\/p>\n He added: “From our internal data, we\u2019re seeing that Disney parks are no longer viewed just as family destinations. Increasingly, they appeal to adults who are eager to experience the nostalgia, themed dining, and seasonal events that make Disney parks unique.<\/p>\n “This shift has a direct impact on how we approach marketing and packaging trips for a grown-up audience and we welcome any Disney adults who want to experience the magic of Disney with us.\u201d<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/0_Cinderella_Castle_Magic_Kingdom_Walt_Disney_World_2024.jpg\")
