No, it's not just you. I've been on trips in the past where it's striking to go from west coast (where I live in LA) to Florida. You're usually ok once you're inside the Disney bubble, but Florida itself is the deep south. Some CMs are locals to that deep south. And once in a while you will cross a CM who may give you a look or they may be more aloof with you. Before anybody tells JellyMintJames that he is imagining things - yes, this happens. I haven't had this kind of treatment at a meet and greet (no kids with me either), but I have had this happen to me while shopping, browsing, checking out. China in Epcot was probably my worst experience.
I had wanted to try on a china dress and had asked for a dressing room please, but it did not go very well :/ The older CM gentleman had made it pretty clear that he didn't want me trying it on, and also that it was "expensive." I could read the price tag fine, and I wasn't a kid - I was 28 at the time. I tried it on after basically having to persuade him to let me have a dressing room, and while I was in there changing, I just felt awful. In the end, I still purchased the dress anyway. But it was on his face as he checked me out - there's no mistaking that expression. And although I still love that dress and still have it, there isn't a time I see it hanging in my closet that I don't think about that experience, at least for a split second.
I never brought this up back when I had my old disboards account because well...someone is just going to explain to you that 1) it's all in your head and 2)you're overly sensitive. Then there's the ever popular 3) not everything is about your skin color. Hey, I get it. Sometimes people
are overly sensitive. Sometimes someone is just having a bad day, and how you look is the last thing on their mind. But other times, it's just kind of painfully obvious, and you have to decide in that moment whether or not you want to handle a situation with grace or confront someone. It's usually just easier to smile and move on.
Since someone else on these forums actually bothered to post about lack of diversity at WDW, of which I have never seen in my many years lurking here, here's my $0.02:
Disneyland is much more diverse than Disney World, at least when it comes to the locals. I don't ever feel out of place at DL because there's so many people of color that no one really cares. At WDW, mind you, it is a big deal if I see another family of color (black specifically) during my stay. I'm leaving for my first cruise and then return trip to WDW in a few days. It'll be interesting to see if there is any diversity on the cruise at all, or if things have changed at WDW since my last visit.
But anyway, I guess my point is, feeling out of place from time to time at WDW has never stopped me from wanting to go back. JellyMintJames, just brush it off and keep doing those M&Gs.
