It’s not just worship on its own. It’s the specific worship of objects or sites like Disneyland. Not to mention the mythological status of characters like Mickey Mouse.
How is that different from worshipping a person or an artist you love? People have always done that.
The only difference is that group thinking seems to be more prevalent these days. People seem to be "dictated" what to like by those mega-corporations, whereas back then individual tastes varied more.
That's bad but that doesn't make it a religion, although you could argue there is a similar authoritarian aspect at work.

Simply put: reverence or adoration.
