A little confusing and very bizarre, this collection of images shows viewers the fascinating world of Disneyland gangs. Yes, apparently Disneyland has gangs that like to meet up there often to just hang out together and enjoy their day at the theme park as a group.
This recent fascinating and weird Disneyland gang phenomenon was captured by photographer Joshua Cobos for VICE magazine. Cobos captures images of the different gangs that include Main Street Elite, Disney's Villains, Disney's Resort Imbeciles, Turbo Jugend Disneyland and Mickey's Pink Ladies.
Embellishing their hand-crafted jackets with patches and lapel designs just like real gangs, these harmless gangs are made-up of mostly adults who feel connected to one another because they share the same enthusiasm for Disneyland.
