Adults who go to Disney without children usually go because they, themselves, had young children in the past and went to Disney as a family together. Or, they - as children - went to Disney a lot with their parents. Adults who go to Disney without children usually have a past involving Disney visits with, or as, kids.

For a single man, who never had children - and who has no history of having visited Disney as a child - to suddenly be seen there solo (i.e., not even nieces or nephews) has a certain "creeper" feel to it.

I agree that adults should be free to visit Disney without kids without stigma (unlike Chucky Cheese where they used to decline service to single men wanting to dine in). But there are certain circumstances where a single adult visiting The Kingdom solo feels odd. This is one of those times.
