My answer will mostly be with DisneyWORLD as my frame of reference.

1. Some people got into Disney via the films. So they are paying to live WITHIN Disney for a week or so. People love being surrounded by what they enjoy.

2. For the rides. And lots of them. Some for children, some for adults, though not so much [but then, Universal Studios is nearby]

3. For immersion. Even the rides are totally in character with the theme of the ride or park. Staff members are CAST members and are acting out a part. Fantastic for people with an active imagination!

4. As others have said, it is such an escape from reality in a way which a trip to a city wouldn't be.

I remember going on space mountain as an 8 year old, and it destroyed me. The sounds, the lights, the speed, everything just overloaded me and I spent the majority of the ride with eyes shut and ears plugged. That said, I actually love disneyland. Lots of good memories there.
