What do Disney adults and Jeep Wrangler owners have in common? According to people online, a lot.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the point one TikTok user made\u2014half-joking, half-serious\u2014in a video that\u2019s now been viewed over 685,000 times.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, creator Michael Dallas (@themichaeldallas) declared that Disney adults and Jeep Wrangler owners \u201cgive off the same vibe.\u201d He didn\u2019t specify why, noting, \u201cI don\u2019t know how to explain this.\u201d But that didn\u2019t matter. The internet understood.<\/p>\n

\u201cGive off the same vibe? They\u2019re the same people,\u201d one commenter responded.<\/p>\n

What Exactly Is a Disney Adult?<\/h3>\n

Simply put, a Disney adult is an adult who loves Disney<\/a> passionately and without apology.<\/p>\n

This might mean they make frequent visits to Disney theme parks, have a closet full of character merchandise, or plan life milestones around Mickey-shaped icons.<\/p>\n

The fandom often faces ridicule. A 2022 Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> article even labeled Disney adults as one of the most hated groups on the internet.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a Disney adult is nothing short of an embarrassment,\u201d it declared.<\/p>\n

The piece referenced a viral Reddit post<\/a> about a bride who reportedly blew her catering budget to hire Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse for her wedding. The post generated such a stir that moderators ended the thread.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like Disney too, but the \u2018Disney adult\u2019 fanatics who would rather see Mickey & Minnie for 30 minutes rather than feed their guests [are] just so unbelievably selfish,\u201d one commenter wrote. \u201cI\u2019m glad I don\u2019t know these people in real life.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Disney Adult to Jeep Drivers<\/h3>\n

Dallas didn\u2019t elaborate, but he offered one theory in his caption: \u201cMaybe it\u2019s the ducks?\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s referencing the \u201cducking\u201d phenomenon\u2014when Jeep Wrangler owners leave rubber ducks on each other\u2019s vehicles as a kind of friendly gesture. According to Motor Trend<\/em><\/a>, it started with a Canadian Jeep driver in 2020 and quickly became a viral tradition among Wrangler fans.<\/p>\n

Today, some owners carry ducks just in case they come across another Jeep. Hertz once offered<\/a> brand-new Wrangler 4xe hybrids with ducks pre-loaded inside.<\/p>\n

Like Disney adults, Wrangler owners are sometimes accused<\/a> of treating their fandom more as a lifestyle<\/a> or a cult. But the comparisons are meant to be lighthearted.<\/p>\n

Via TikTok direct message, Dallas said that his post “was all in good fun” and “celebrates the quirks we all love to poke fun at.”<\/p>\n

“Both the Jeep Wrangler community and Disney adults share a passion for self expression, visual flair, and going over the top,” he added. “There\u2019s something reminiscent of modern over-consumerism when seeing a Wrangler dashboard covered in rubber ducks to accent all of the stick on neon accessories from Amazon covering the exterior or spotting someone with an entire wall dedicated to Mickey ears in the guest bedroom of their four bedroom three bath suburban home; it\u2019s harmless but hilarious.”<\/p>\n

Less Ducks, More Vibes<\/h3>\n

Both Jeep Wrangler owners and Disney adults are passionate. Both also build communities around a brand. And both can seem a little much to some.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome Venn diagrams are just a circle,\u201d one viewer quipped.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another added, \u201cIf I see someone owns a Jeep, I immediately know they\u2019re going to be too much for me. Not always in the same way, but always too much in some way.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then there were the self-aware commenters.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband and I are Jeep owners and Disney adults,\u201d one admitted. \u201cThis checks out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, not everyone agreed. Some Wrangler owners said the comparison was offensive.<\/p>\n

\u201cNope. Wrangler owner here,\u201d one said. \u201cHate the duck thing and hate Disney!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are completely different kinds of Wrangler owners,\u201d another argued.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Wrangler owner with a deep hatred for Disney and all their movies and parks, I\u2019m offended,\u201d a third said.<\/p>\n

Dallas told Motor1<\/em>, “At the end of the day, it\u2019s about finding joy in the things you love. Whether that\u2019s off roading with your duck adorned Jeep or planning your next Disneybound outfit, I say embrace it. The world\u2019s more fun with a little bit of extra personality.”<\/p>\n
