What is your Disney shameful secret?

[Stacy's a freak]

I have never seen DUMBO! :confused3

Anyone else?

[indians3452]

I dont tell my guy friends I'm a disney fanatic. I just feel weird about it. God I love disney though.:surfweb:

[Stacy's a freak]

yup, that's understandable. :)

[KatMark]

I really DESPISE Stitch.

[disney-inspired]

I've only been once!
and it was in 2006!

[nurse.darcy]

I have never invited a "boyfriend" to share my experience. . .lol

[deltachi8]

Very few people know (outside of the disboards itself) that i met my fiance right here on the dis!

[SandraVB79]

I hate the Poly
I don't "get" Epcot
I think Aurora is a witch with a B (so does my brother)
And I despise Stitch.


There you go!

[jadedbeauty14304]

I have no desire to ever ride EE again. I just don't like it.

[Stacy's a freak]

This is fun :)

I don't really like AK. :confused3 I'm bored there (with the exception of The Festival of the Lion King).

[jeanigor]

I don't like to watch Magic Kingdom parades. But I am glad most everyone else does.:woohoo:

[kapoof]

i find the pirate ride very boring and i didn't enjoy the lion king show! i also have yet to see the tiki room.

[Jamie77]

I've never seen Fantasia.

[LKLush]

-No true desire to see Fantasmic, but "the other" is forcing me
--The only shows I'm remotely interested in seeing are Festival of the Lion King, Nemo (which I haven't seen yet) and the motorsports/car show at MGM (which I saw)
---MK doesn't hold a 'special place' in my heart - but I :lovestruc AK - I'm an animal nut and could watch the cheetahs all day.

[TaraPA]

If I never go on IASW again it will be too soon...

Never been to a rope drop.

Never had a Dole Whip.

[Stacy's a freak]

If I never go on IASW again it will be too soon...

Never been to a rope drop.

Never had a Dole Whip.

oooo - I have to say that the Dole Whip is mega-yummy.

[ReaderGirl]

Hi all.

I don't like roller coasters! :scared1: No way. When I tell people I'm going to Disney, those who've never been say "If you don't like roller coasters, what do you do at Disney World?" (Can't imagine.)

My other Disney secret is that I just didn't get into into Hollywood Studios. It seemed to lack a good layout, and the tone just felt sort of non-Disney to me. The Magic Kingdom seems to be all about childhood dreams, EPCOT about the future (or at this point, sort of a retro version of the future) and the global village, and of course, Animal Kingdom is about animals and nature, but the Studios seemed to just be about unfocused entertainment.

But! If you're way into Hollywood Studios, to each his or her own. Go enjoy yourself! :flower3: And rest assured, I'm going to give Studios another try the next time I'm there. Who knows? Maybe this time I'll "get it."

Before I sign off, I gotta throw in that I love about everything else at Disney!
ReaderGirl :hippie:

[kat3668]

Ok here goes....

I think Illuminations is BORING :rolleyes:
I rode EE 20 something times on EMH my last trip......(joked with the cast members and asked if there was a 12 step program for this ride):lmao:
I dont get what the big deal is about POTC:scared1:
Dole whips make me sick:sick:
Not a fan of DHS and have never seen the Motorcars parade! :eek:

[dizluvah]

Love this thread!

I have never sat and watched a parade

I have never seen the Indiana Jones Stunt Show or the Lights, Motor Action show at DHS - we tend to leave that park shortly after arriving

DH and I don't like Fantasmic

We have never been to a rope drop (its always on the list for each trip)

I have never been to Tom Sawyers Island

I have never been on Kali River Rapids

[suzycute]

I just don't "get" Fantasmic - we waited one and a half hours to see it - what a waste - yet I could see Illuminations every night and not get bored - I love the music, symbolism and never fail to get "teary" each time. Each to their own!!

[CandleontheWater]

Animal Kingdom is my Favorite park

I prefer Lemonaide slushes to Dole whips

I hate Winne the Pooh

I like the new desent to Spaceship Earth

I don't get the hype over Le Cellier

[CandleontheWater]

Oh- and Kat3668- I totally agree about Illuminations, I think that the globe is a total snooze. I liked the previous version of Illuminations much better- there were more fireworks!

[suzimar57]

never seen illuminations or fantasmik.

[Sammyjo]

I don't like all the Characters in a costume at Disney!

[maux]

Mine is that I am stalking Donald Duck. My goal is to get my picture with him in every costume he wears. Got him in Mexico on this past trip. I often wonder if he has caught on yet.....


maux:donald:

[BelleIsLost]

maux:donald:

My shameful secret is that I do not like the parades or Illuminations at Epcot

[KirklandTutu]

I've never seen the fireworks from the hub or main street...so I've never seen Tink or the light shows...and I'm ok with that!

I find Fantasmic to be annoying.

We always watch Illuminations...but I don't remember that much because I've always been toasted.

I hate parades.

Disneyland is my favorite park, and Magic Kingdom my least. In fact, I would be ok going to WDW and not going to Magic Kingdom.

I don't like Dole Whips...and Turkey Legs freak me out.

[DisneyDreams21]

Turkey legs freak me out too (tried one once and had to get a napkin to politely spit it out--if there's such a polite way):confused3

As much as I love all things Disney, last trip it wasn't until the 4th day that I made it to a park (I love the Disney resorts a lot):scared1:

Tower of Terror scares me (I did it twice but will go on R & R or EE 100 times in a row before I ever get on that freefall again):rotfl:

[fakereadhed]

I fell asleep during Festival of the Lion King. I just couldn't stay awake- it bored me to tears.

:ssst:

[MousekaMaddi]

altho I sit thru it every trip, Im not a fan of Illuminations, at all, i usually find a quiet spot till its over.........sorry,

never tried a turkey leg:mad:

[Ennazus8810]

I don't like Illuminations or Fantasmic.

I have never been to Tom Sawyer's Island.

I don't like the hot dog's from Casey's.

[mickeymommy3]

I don't like Minnie Mouse very much, I actually never took my picture with her until my kids forced me. But Mickey he is my man!!!:lovestruc

[Safari Queen]

CandleontheWater, we were separated at birth...agree, agree, agree!

[bgbodnar]

I don't care for Animal Kingdom-never spend more than a few hours the whole trip there.

[10_Kyle_10]

- Ive never had a Dole Whip.

- I spend too much money on Beer at Epcot mmm Beer...

- Im upset disney did away with the "yard of Beer"...

- I hate Strollers...

- I love people who videotape while walking around...must be awesome to see the backs of peoples heads.

- I hate parades...but I do them cause the lady loves them. Shh shes doesnt know that!

- I wish Pleasure Island was better...

- Ive never been at rope Drop.

- I miss River Country/swimming in bay lake...

[ttester9612]

Never seen Fantasmic; Never eaten a Dole Whip; Never been on any of the roller coasters nor TOT. Love Soarin'; miss Discovery Island

[Stacy's a freak]

I don't like Minnie Mouse very much, I actually never took my picture with her until my kids forced me. But Mickey he is my man!!!:lovestruc

Totally agree. I mean, what is UP with her high-pitched voice? Mickey's voice in endearing. Minnie's voice just makes me want to slap her :confused3

[fakereadhed]

Totally agree. I mean, what is UP with her high-pitched voice? Mickey's voice in endearing. Minnie's voice just makes me want to slap her :confused3

Your Disney secret is that you want to have a smack down with Minnie. How embarrassing if you lose though. :rotfl:

[twotoohappy]

Turkey Legs are nasty! Never had one, never will!
(those turkey leg pushers scare me :scared: )
Don't really like the hundred acre woods crew (sorry Barb;) )
I can't stand when kids are allowed to drive their parents ECV's
Heely's in the park - grrrrrrrr
I'm still missing the Epcot parade and the Hunchback Show
The Stitch Ride was a waste of money
The Globe ride in Epcot is my "napping" ride in Aug. to get out of the heat:lmao:
I need to be in a 12 step program for Jellyrolls (other than that, I'm an angel)

Great idea for a thread:thumbsup2

[tinkbutt]

I stare in wonder like a four year old at the fireworks

I cry at a disney commercial if it's been too long

I know almost too much about disney

I'm mad that my dad no longer works in WDW

probably many more!!!

[Trixie19]

I want to throw things at, kick and trip people who do NOT sit down for fireworks in the MK especially if we are around the hub or down Main Street USA. They are up in the AIR PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! You will NOT see them ANY BETTER than you would sitting down. (and you block it for little kids!!!)

[tinkbutt]

Oooooo my number one even when in public but especially when at WDW parents who hit and yell at there children for being children!!!!!!:mad:

they are excited of course they are gonna be a little wound up, there is a better way to control them!!!!!!!:confused3

[ratherbe@Disney]

Huge secret.. never thought I'd tell anyone. Trip before last or maybe 2 trips ago I didn't feel the "magic". I thought my romance with Disney was over. Good thing though our last trip Oct 2007 was wonderful and I cried when we had to leave. I can't wait to get back!! Can we go now?

[tinkbutt]

right there with you on that but I always cry when leaving disney

[LKLush]

Oooooo my number one even when in public but especially when at WDW parents who hit and yell at there children for being children!!!!!!:mad:

Okay, so I'm not a parent, so I can't exactly relate, but it seems that there WOULD be a better way to discipline your child if they're getting out of hand. AND/OR you KNOW they're going to be wound up and so you mentally prepare yourself beforehand and learn to step back and calm down before becoming "that" parent at WDW.

[EltonJohn]

I've only been once!
and it was in 2006!

Same here, but it was back in 1987 :scared1:

Here's my secret: I think Pirates is boring princess:

[EltonJohn]

Here's my bigger secret:

I don't like Mickey Mouse. I'm a huge Donald Duck fan.

Oh, and I probably won't go to WDW for at least 10+ years.

[AprilShower]

This is a fun idea! Here are mine:

- I don't care for Illuminations
- I really don't like the Contemporary
- The Spectromagic guys at the beginning really freak me out (the new ones aren't as bad as the old ones)
- I've never been on the Jungle Cruise

[disneyismyname]

My big secrets are....

--I didnt like Illuminations either! Pretty boring.

--I dont like Mission Space (mostly because I almost chucked up my lunch on that ride!):scared1:

[CinRell]

I've only seen part of Wishes and honestly? thought it was disappointing... If I never see it, that will be "ok".

I think Illuminations is one of the worst night shows ever.

I do NOT like MGM (dis studios or whatever they're calling it this year) aside from 1 or 2 rides... I think it looks dirty and not much to do/see .. the only reason I go back is Fantasmic

I am not a huge fan of AK. I worked at a zoo and some of their exhibits are mediocre at best (where animals are kept).

Spectro guys scare me too (old and new) as I"m terrified of clowns and these are like clowns from outer space (the worst kind of clowns, don't you know?). I think spectro is a sad shadow of the main street electrical parade.

I LIKE the stitch ride!

I LOVE the parades at MK... but the ones at AK and MGM seem lame and cheap to me and I skip them (see them but don't stay and watch).

I MISS the parade at epcot MADLY!
even though I only saw it once

Wow. I sound awful in this post .. I do LOVE disney and adore EVERYTHING MK, Epcot and DTD

[acm563]

Wow....hmmm...I have been trying to think of any shameful disney secret....lol
The only thing I can think of is I really dont like Mission Space that much because I truly do get dizzy on spinny things. I wouldnt dream of not doing the orange team as my son would be dismayed:) but I think the next time I go totally solo (which should be Sept) I am going to try it on the green team and wuss out just to see what the difference is.
My last disney secret is that aside from my son and Marie I really dont like sharing WDW with others..male or female....because everytime I do the other party is either whiney about the heat, the crowds etc etc, or they dont like any of the rides. I have been 5 times with others and everytime I would say never again and then someone else would convince me to take them.... After the last person backing out on me in March(which was a relief) I vowed I will never take anyone else that does not appreciate Disney as much as I do, unless they finance the vacation, and even then if they are being pains I will go off solo....:dance3:

[SteveInBrooklyn]

I don't really like disney movies.

[poohhappy1]

It took having 11 family members sprawled out on the grass in EPCOT begging to go back to the pool for me to realize that not everyone can (or should) tour commando style. :idea: So now I go on solo trips.... :cool1:

I had one Dole Whip and it made me very ill.:confused3

Also, I hate roller coasters and have never been on any in WDW.:scared1:

[srwarden1928]

Ive never seen a parade or fireworks show at Disney and have no desire to see either.

Ive never been to Tom Sawyers Island.

I dont appreciate having my ankle rammed repeatedly with a stroller when I am trying to look at something in a shop.

[NH_Bubba]

I don't Like Stitch - The movie or the ride.
I really miss the Alien Encounter.

Don't like Mission Space. Spinning rides kill me.

I don't like that Plesure Island allows KIDS.

[buena vista]

great thread

I cry at the American Adventure.. every time.

I've never had a Dole Whip

I've never had a turkey leg (and I like the dark meat lol!)

I've never had a glowtini

I'm a single digit golfer who lost a game of miniature golf at Fantasia Gardens to my 8 year old nephew.

[jellydisney]

I love Disney. I don't like children.

Kind of ironic, huh? :rolleyes:

[rebecca06261]

I fell asleep during Festival of the Lion King. I just couldn't stay awake- it bored me to tears.

:ssst:

:rotfl2: Me TOO!!!! I hated it! Okay- here are my shameful secrets
1) I sing the MNSSHP "Boo to You" song and "Enchanted" songs while sitting at my desk (I'm in law-enforcement)
2) I love EE but can't stand AK.
3) Dole Whips make me gag
4) I paid a fellow disser to mail to me a CD that you can only get at WDW
5) I don't like all of the characters roaming around the park either-it's become a little too expected.
6) I miss River Country

***This is so free-ing!! I feel like I'm in group therapy! :grouphug:

[Momto4boys]

I've only been there once and there was very little that I didn't LOVE

However..

I will never ride Space Mountain again. I thought I would have whiplash!

I will also never ride IASW..well maybe if my little ones really want to but OMG it's sooo boring and cheesy! I hated it!

[MousekaMaddi]

dirty little secrets of a 40somethinger having done 20 trips, 8 of them in the last 2 yrs...
in 20 trips I have never ridden the Liberty Belle riverboat
have never been to Tom Sawyers island
hate stitch and his ludicrous ride
avoid Illuminations due to boredom.

thats it, Im clean!:yay:

[Redbudlover]

I dislike the Studios - a lot. It feels dirty and unkempt to me. I like
Tot but you have o go to the Studios to ride it. Love Brown Derby, so it is Tot and dinner and I'm gone

Teacups make me sick, but I love coasters. The parades at MK are the only ones I watch. Love AK most of all, except for the parade. I just float along there loving every part of it. Something about the ambiance - especially on rainy days.

And my most serious secret of all is that I go to Disney to eat. I fit my whole schedule around my ADRs and various tours... Thank God for deluxe dining!!!

[NJGuy3]

Some of my shameful secrets that come to mind:
I've never ridden on the Teacups.
I've never been to Tom Sawyer's Island.
I've never ridden the carrrousel at MK.
I don't like Stich's Great Escape.
I always look forward to riding the Monorail more than anything else...:goodvibes

Still too early in the morning for my brain to be fully functioning...lol...I'm sure I can think of more.

Cool.

Tracy, nothing beats the monorail! :worship: lol

[jadedbeauty14304]

Cool.

Tracy, nothing beats the monorail! :worship: lol

OK I'll make sure I ride it in May and try to find it better than Space Mountain.... I'll let ya know...lol

[Simba's Mom]

I've got two about food. I had a Dole Whip once, didn't "get" it-I much prefer the strawberry swirls at Enchanted Grove. Also, I had a Kaki Gori just once, I much prefer the Raspas at home. Epcot needs a raspa stand!

[acourtwdw]

I cry like a baby when we first get to MK and I see the castle!

I don't like the Stitch attraction (I love Stitch) and when it was Alien Encounter, I was scared!

Caro of Progress is one of my favorites!

I don't like Dole Whips but love pineapple!

Can't wait to do Deluxe Dining in Sept. Arranged my park days around my ADR's!

[Mr. Snail]

I only had a Dole Whip on my most recent trip, and would not have known about them if I hadn't read about them here.

I liked the Dole Whip but thought it was just ok.

It's getting to the point that in this thread, at least, liking the Stitch ride would be the secret. I kind of do, mainly because I like how smoothly he moves.

I think the Electrical Water Pageant is kind of cheesy in a low tech, low key kind of way..but I like it specifically because if that.

I love Figment.

I like the drawing class at the Hollywood Studios even though it's pretty much the closest thing to formal training in drawing I've ever had, and I'm terrible at it.

I miss the Mister Toad ride.

I think I might have noticed the "secret" way into the Animal Kingdom by way of the Rainforest Cafe at a time when the turnstiles weren't up, years ago on a college spring break trip. I didn't look closer to take advantage because of my nagging since of honesty.

On my most recent trip, I repeatedly walked into the Japanese pavilion at EPCOT because I thought it was so funny hearing the greeters give their loud "(insert a few Japanese words). Welcome to Japan!" greeting. I hope they're still there...

[acm563]

Since so many mention the Stitch Ride I guess I must have another shameful secret because I love it...probably not the actual ride so much as Stitch . I can sit there and do the whole monologue as I have listened to my son do his impression of it for so many years now. I cover my nose when he eats the chili dog(now I do think that part is gross) and at the end you will hear me saying "Cinderella your Prince is here"! That is my favorite thing in the whole ride.


Sorry Leo, while I like the monorail and love riding up front on it my son and I both comment that it smells like a urinal everytime you get on it and we keep threatening to bring air fresheners and hang one in the cars :)

[CinRell]

Mr. Snail I love your sig! The house that was filmed in is near where I live. They've refurbed it and opened it for tours. I went once and met the guy who delivered the "fra-gi-le" package. He still lives on that block and was hired as an extra.

Why do all these little interesting tidbits take place in Ohio? Cindy, you're right...maybe I should move to Ohio and give it a try...;)

I too apologize for the hijack.

A Christmas Story is probably my favorite movie, either that or The Lion King. It's so rare to find a Christmas movie that isn't sappy and manipulative. Lately they've dropped all pretense of being otherwise and are mostly made-for-TV.

And just so we can keep talking about dirty Disney secrets, I was disappointed when they rejuvenated the Odyssey Center at Epcot because it had the only public restroom where I could feel comfortable "taking a seat" without anyone else coming in. No one else seemed to know it was there.

I discovered Japan's Pocky sticks at Disney.

[Hakunaa Matata]

i haven't been back since 1985 :confused3

We'll go see the house when you come visit :thumbsup2

[Simba's Mom]

I just thought of another shamefull Disney secret. It concerns Devine in the AK-she creeps me out. I'm not interested in seeing her again, actually I'd avoid it. I don't know why that is, but I shudder!

[sand2270]

We'll go see the house when you come visit :thumbsup2

I just remembered something. My best friend lived in LA for a while. I went to visit her and she took me to a club in LA one night. We met the guy who played the kid who gets his tongue stuck to the pole. He looks exactly the same.

Guess that was a hijack also...:)

[wdwgypsy]

Glad I read the thread before I posted I could have really embarassed myself.

OK I may get booted after this one but........



I don't like Mickey Mouse.:scared1: Never has been in my group of favorite Disney Characters. :confused3

[diznee25]

I absolutley love listening to the "announcer guy" on the Disney buses and monorail. :)

I dislike tonga toast and don't understand the hype. (But I'm glad I tried it.)

I hate figment! :scared1:

I get goose bumps during Mickey's PhilharMagic.

My DH and I prefer visiting Disney World during the most crowded times, like Christmas week! :eek:

[Julie*]

Shameful Secrets:

I am going to WDW in January to run the 1/2 marathon and am so excited about my first solo trip that my husband told me that his feelings are hurt.

I do not like turkey legs and churros don't hold the same magic now that I can get them at Costco for $1.00.

Splash Mountain terrifies me.

I don't really like the parades. It's hard for me to just sit and watch them.

I don't like Jungle Cruise very much. I must say though that this stems from my days as a cast member and my roommate had to learn the script and made me listen to it over and over and over and over....you get the idea.

You just remided me of the thing I truely can't stand in MK I'll actually walk 1/2 way around the park to avoid it.:scared:
Can you say It's a Small World!!!:headache:

[slyjly]

Hi, I love this thread!
-I don't do roller costers or teacups
-I hated IASW
-I really don't like POP Century after a very UN-magical check-in experience
-I love the AK lodge but didn't like the Boma rest.
-Minnie Mouse is my favorite
-I agree with the previous poster-the monorail smells

[Stacy's a freak]

My ringtone is.... *drum roll*

Zipedeedoodah ... and I always blush when I'm in "public" and the phone rings. But I leave it on there because I really love it :lovestruc

"...my oh my what a wonderful day."

[maleficent, esq.]

The first time we went (magic kingdom was the only park) My sister and I ages 19, 17 did not exit the Hall of Presidents we loved it so much we had to see it again. (She is a government teacher and I am an attorney)

The first trip ordered a frozen orange juice put my tongue on it and it got stuck. DDad had to get it off. (At least it wasn't the metal pole)

Thought that I knew more about Disney than anyone in the universe until I was very humbled by these boards


Final guilty secret think I like the Disney Cruise more than the theme parks

Best to all
Mal

[luvsmickeymouse]

I have never had a Dole Whip.....

I go into the Hall of Presidents just so I can take a quick nap.

I cry on the flight home.

I don't like turkey legs. :scared:

I am afraid to go on Mission Space.

I refilled my styrofoam coffee cup at the food court.

So is mine!

[Devil_Dog99]

I don't see what the big deal is about a Dole whip
I cry like a baby at the end of American Adventure
I miss riding the parking lot trams. DW does not like them and ever since we started staying on property have always taken the bus. I keep threatening to take one around the parking lot for old times sake as we are leaving the parks.
I have the 'please stand clear of the doors......' announcement as the sound when Windows opens when I power up my computer.

[626ish]

Wow...

Hi, my name is Amber, and there are a few things I don't like about disney.

(Everyone else: Hello, Amber!)

- I liked stitch before he was cool. It drives me crazy how he's everywhere now.
- I have more fun in the parks with my brother than with my husband. I have to MAKE DH have fun, and it kills my vacation.
- I never got the whole Pooh thing. Not for people over 8 years old, anyway.
- I can not STAND Tinker Bell. She's teaching kids to be self-centered and that's not ok with me.
- Epcot is the reason I became a teacher. (Physics)
- My favorite disney movie is Enchanted, and I made a dress that looks like Giselle's green flowery one from the "That's how you know" scene.
- I still say MGM, I don't care who owns it. Correct me if you dare.
- I waited 3 and a half hours for fantasmic once, and I got escorted in by a cast member with a "Princess of the Day" certificate :)
- Pin sharks piss me off. Like, I actually want to punch them in the face.
- My fave ride is Soarin'. My husband is going to Olrando for business in JUNE, and I'm getting a one-day pass just so I can ride it again :)

I think I'm done. Sure I'll think of more after a good night's rest :)

Edit: Here's a couple more

- My favorite resort is All-Star Movies. I've stayed in POR, which was just ok, and CS (which was absolutely MISERABLE!). But in all-star... get a room right by the fantasia pool and you're right next to the dining hall AND the bus stops. Plus, you get great scrapbook photos for all the movie memorabilia and, really, what time do you spend at the hotel, anyway? (We usually eat breakfast, do the early park, grab early lunch, change to late park, late dinner, get to resort at midnight.) AAAAAND, now I'm rambling. To sum up - I like cheap hotels, and some of the expensive ones aren't that impressive anyway!
- I am mortally terrified of the Dinosaur ride. It's the only ride where I have trouble with my "suspension of disbelief", and it makes me want to wet myself. I scream the whole time. (So does my dad, a 47-year-old 6'3 250lb preacher, who looks like he's about 30. CLASSIC!)
- Turky leg? Bleh. You couldn't PAY me $7 to buy a turky leg. (Well, maybe you could. I'd throw it away and get a pin XD)
- In January, Disney gave me Quadricepts Tendinitis in my right knee (at 22!). When I got my treatment, a shot (shudder), I said "Darn you, Mickey!". My doctor thought I'd lost my mind!
- My cat is named after Kermit the Frog (which is Disney, now, right?) and Horatio Cane from CSI: Miami. His proper name is "Kermit Horatio Shrewsberry", but we call him Kermie!
- I knew I was gonna be some kind of scientist when I was 4 and reading a book on "when I grow up" with an accompanying read-along Audio Tape. Ludwig von Drake was messing with some test tubes on one page and there was some REALLY cool sound effects in the background. I was like "Well, that sounds good." and told my parents I wanted to be a scientist when I grew up! (I'm now teaching physics at a local high school and teaching science labs at the University I graduated from less than a year ago.) Thanks, Prof. von Drake!

Kay, I have to get ready for work now.

[exdisney27]

I don't like to watch Magic Kingdom parades. But I am glad most everyone else does.:woohoo:

Ha ha! I hate parades! I'd rather go on the rides while everyone else is watching the dumb parade!

[exdisney27]

I just remembered something. My best friend lived in LA for a while. I went to visit her and she took me to a club in LA one night. We met the guy who played the kid who gets his tongue stuck to the pole. He looks exactly the same.

Guess that was a hijack also...:)

You mean FLICK???????? "Where's Flick?" "Flick? Flick who?"

[Stacy's a freak]

What is a pin shark? Is that like a land shark? "candygram" :rotfl:

[Master Mason]

I don't really concider this to be shameful, but I hate the pooh voice. I would rather have pins stuck in my eyes than listen to it.

[Anything Disney!]

This thread is hilarious. I feel like I can say something negative and NOT get flamed :rotfl:

Shameful Secret #1: I drink my way around the World Showcase.....
Shameful Secret #2: Wish the parks had a grown up only day.....
Shameful Secret #3: Bought "fake" mickey diamond earrings that are "real"

:cool1: :lmao: :rotfl2: :dance3: :yay: :cheer2: :banana:

[rebecca06261]

:rotfl2: I'll admit it, I'm a fan of drinking my way around WS too but shame on you for faking earrings!!! :rotfl: **I'd be lying if I said I didn't do that too though!:rotfl:

[cindyfan]

Love this thread.......:thumbsup2 :lmao:

My ringtone is.... *drum roll*

Zipedeedoodah ... and I always blush when I'm in "public" and the phone rings. But I leave it on there because I really love it

"...my oh my what a wonderful day."
Do you have the original or the Disney Jams one? I have the updated, Disney Jams one.... and LOVE it!!
I hate Winne the Pooh

Yep... another Pooh hater here!
Turkey legs freak me out too (tried one once and had to get a napkin to politely spit it out--if there's such a polite way)
:lmao: I did the same thing!!
I'm still missing the Epcot parade and the Hunchback Show
The Stitch Ride was a waste of money
Totally agree... on all 3!!!:thumbsup2
I am mortally terrified of the Dinosaur ride I tried it again in Jan (last time was like 4 yrs ago) and .... eyes shut, white knuckles... and SCREAMING the entire time.... NEVER AGAIN!!!

BUT my biggest secret right now....
I haven't told anyone that I am going SOLO in August. Last time I went solo... just way too many explanations and people "feeling sorry" for me! :confused3 I don't get it.... I loved be able to do what I wanted whenever I wanted. :rotfl:

[626ish]

What is a pin shark? Is that like a land shark? "candygram" :rotfl:

A pin shark is a person that will try to trade you for your valuable pins for the sole purpose of making money. Think of them as a vacuum salesmen. They will overstate the value of their pin that they're trading you and understate or completely ignore the fact that they're ripping you off.

These people often insist on 2-for-1 trades. The pin they're offering is so rare and hard to find, you see. /sarcasm

Some of them even train their kids to guilt people into trading with them, or searching the green lanyard CMs for stuff the adults can't get to. (These kids are called "guppies". Cute, but sick.)

Anyways, it's supposed to be a fun thing, not a "take advantage of little kids and newbies" thing. See what I mean?

[PEANUT1]

I have no fun watching illuminations. My DH and I just like to make fun of the big ball in the water.

I really really really want to be a nurse in the Magic Kingdom someday. Just don't know if I can stand the Florida weather year round.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Carousel of Progress. DH takes a nap.

[Stacybaeasm]

1. I cry at everything at Disney - Lion King Show, the MK parade, Fantasmic, Wishes, seeing someone else get a dream...you get the picture. AND I am so not like that "in real life."

2. I spend a lot of time at certain rides worrying if I will fit on them (I'm a big girl) so I can't always relax and enjoy the ques.

3. EPCOT bores me, especially world showcase.

4. I don't like kids as a whole (except my niece) but at Disney, I love them all and want to keep them believing in magic.

5. I have friends in the CAstle show and the Nemo show.

[ExPirateShopGirl]

Finally, a thread just for ME!

1) I think the Stitch wake up call is OBNOXIOUS
2) I have to control my desire to stick out my foot when a kid in heelies wizzes by
3) I think the GF rooms are gawdy and too floral
4) Disney is not a recognized school of interior design. You people know who you are.
5) Every time I see a salty turkey leg I think of big old Henry VIII
6) I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a lime green mickey
7) Once we went to WDW for 6 days and spent 5 days at the waterparks and only ONE DAY in the parks, even though we did all 4 in that one day
8) DF will only go to WDW if the Red Sox are playing in Tampa and we book at least 2 rounds of golf.
9) I think many parents of toddlers seriously over-estimate their kids' tolerance for heat and humidity and their ability to independently recall beyond the bar of their strollers the 'once in a lifetime' trip.
10) I hate the buses. Crammed with less-than-fresh less-than-happy folks (none of you, of course!)

That's it for now... stay tuned for more! ;)

OMG I SO relate to this!

[hlyntunstl]

I love this thread!!

Add me to the turkey leg phobics. I actually have to turn my head if I see someone walking by gnawing on them. It's like Jurassic Park and makes me slightly nauseous. I'm glad I'm not alone :dance3:

I love Fantasmic and dance along with Mickey much to my family's embarassment.

When riding the monorail, I always sing the Simpson's monorail song and speak along with the announcer in Spanish.

I hate the look of the Polynesian. We call it the Tinderbox because it looks like a giant pile of kindling.

The few times I've been to the GF I was not impressed.

I love Epcot-Future World and could easily spend a full day wandering through Innoventions (both East and West).

I LOVE Spaceship Earth and am deathly afraid that the changes will ruin part of my joy.

And the most shameful secret is that I have yet to figure out what "EE" stands for? Can someone please help?

[kbtennant]

EE=Expedition Everest

[Minnie&Nana]

I have the 'please stand clear of the doors......' announcement as the sound when Windows opens when I power up my computer.

That is so cool! How did you do that???

Oh!
Do not like parades
nor Dole Whip
or Pooh
or the sexy Tink (what's with that?)
also cry at the end of American Adventure :(

[DaniTaylor]

This is a great thread! Now keep in mind as you read my dirty disney secrets that I live in Orlando, DH is a CM and I'm former CM and we go to the parks A LOT!!!!

I've never ridden TOT, EE, Rockin' Roller Coaster, or Mission Space and I probably will never ride them because I'm a giant chicken!

However I can't miss Dinosaur and usually ride it twice because I LOVE IT!

The sight and smell of turkey legs make me gag

I cry every single time I watch Wishes!

I've never spent the day at any of the parks by myself or even ridden a ride by myself but I would like to.

I still miss the old Illuminations and usually won't stick around for the new one.

I think that's it for now :)

[Devil_Dog99]

That is so cool! How did you do that???

I forget where I found this (but it was on the DIS), but if you scroll down you will find it:

http://www.wdisneyw.co.uk/sounds.html

enjoy!!

Right click, 'Save as' and save to somewhere on your computer. Then in Control Panel, choose Sounds and Audio Devices, then click on the Sounds tab. In Program sounds scroll down to Windows Start (that's what I have) and browse to the file just downloaded. You are good to go.

Feel free to PM me if you need further assistance.

[Minnie&Nana]

Thank you! I'll give it a try and if it doesn't work will pm.

Thanks again!:thumbsup2

[totallycait]

Oh, I have to participate in this thread.

*I hate the Matterhorn, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Splash Mountain. That hour I spent in line to ride each of them? I want it back!

*I don't 'get' pin trading at all.

*I miss original EPCOT Center, when Future World was all science and no thrill rides.

*I miss the Monorail Cafe at the DL Hotel & the monorail stop upstairs.

I'm sure I'll think of more later, I've got post-DL brain today. :cool2:

[little1kry]

Ok...here are mine:

*I love the Carousel of Progress.
*The Hall of Presidents is where I go for a nap.
*I'm a touring commando - my family is not always thrilled with this for some reason.....:confused3
*I have the most fun at WDW with my brother and sister.
*I, too, am not a huge fan of kids, but I can't wait to take my niece in July.
*I agree with BaciBecky - Tink is a little too sexy these days.
*I listen to MouseWorld radio nearly all day at work.

[katylady]

Sorry Leo, while I like the monorail and love riding up front on it my son and I both comment that it smells like a urinal everytime you get on it and we keep threatening to bring air fresheners and hang one in the cars :)

I always found that the monorail smelled odd and one day it came to me - it smells like used Band-Aid!

[Harvestmooner]

Ok...here are mine:


*I listen to MouseWorld radio nearly all day at work.


I have never heard of this-where is it??? Is it like radio Disney or is it from WDW???

[little1kry]

I have never heard of this-where is it??? Is it like radio Disney or is it from WDW???

Go to live365.com and search for "disney." The two I listen to are Mouseworld Radio and WDWLive radio. All Disney all the time :cool1: Mostly songs from movies, the rides and the loops around the parts, but the other day the monorail "spiel" was on - fabulous! :)

[trennr]

I really DESPISE Stitch.

Meega Nala Qweesta!!!!:stitch2:

I am completely with you on the "Grown-up Only Day" for WDW. :thumbsup2 My husband keeps saying that he would pay extra for that sort of experience.

[MockTurtle]

I'm a novice to the boards and I'm loving this thread. I went on my first trip to WDW (since 1975) during Halloween in 2007. My friend was going to wait for the Boo To You parade, but I decided to skip it and ride Splash Mountain five times. However, I caught part of the parade when I was walking back and was completely in awe. I hate parades, but this one was freakin' awesome. So, I caught it the second time that night AND then somehow got us tickets to MNSSHP later that week just for the Boo To You parades. This year I have planned two nights at MNSSHP (along with three nights of HHN).

My second shameful secret is that I recently paid several hundred bucks for a hitchhiking ghost collector's edition sculpture. I'm addicted to Haunted Mansion too. I have to be the biggest dork in the history of forever. And did I mention that I'm 40?

[rebecca06261]

:welcome: to the Dis!!! We're all Disney-geeks here - you're finally home! :lmao:

Hooray! Another vote for the adults-only day :)

[trennr]

1] I really don't like Hollywood Studios.
2] Could do without most of Epcot.
3] Typically have more fun than DW and DS13.
4] think Stitch is the best Character since Goofy.
5] Addicted to Dole Whip.
6] More upset than my kids that I'm not going to WDW this year.
7] Could spend a whole week in the Lazy River @ Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon. :cloud9:
8] Considered selling my YOMD Lanyard and Pin Set on E-Bay

[MD DisneyFreaks]

1. Can't stand IASW
2. Couldn't care less about the parades
3. I love the Peter Pan ride
4. I was in Orlando for a conference in January and spent 2 evenings just riding the monorail and resort hopping since I didn't want to pay for park admission with only 2-3 hours to spend in the parks.
5. Love the Buzz Lightyear ride

Those are the big ones!

[MockTurtle]

Hooray! Another vote for the adults-only day :)

Absolutely!

[MockTurtle]

:welcome: to the Dis!!! We're all Disney-geeks here - you're finally home! :lmao:

Thanks for the warm welcome. I was telling a friend of mine today about planning my trip for October. It's not easy for a guy to explain to his other guy friends about his adoration for Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, HHN, and...well...MNSSHP and Boo To You Parade. :love: Oh well, it's good to know that there are others here who can relate. :yay:

When are you going in October? I'm doing MNSSHP Oct. 16. I'll be in the world from Oct. 12-19. If you need a partner for splash mountain or Haunted mansion, let me know. Hope to see you there!

[PIERCEDRN]

Oh- and Kat3668- I totally agree about Illuminations, I think that the globe is a total snooze. I liked the previous version of Illuminations much better- there were more fireworks!

I often walk away from illuminations because it is so boring. I hate the "ball" and the interminable time where they stop the fireworks to show and open the globe. The 1st time we saw it we just said "weak dude", now that it is a Epcot staple we just resent it.
The tombstones kinda suck too.
BOB

[EpcotLove]

shameful secret...

I am an adult and i went to the petals bar at the pop century.... had a few too many drinks... bought the light up childrens fairy wings in the gift shop.. and put them on at the bus stop outside.. then ran through the parking lot, skipping and singing by myself.

Haha .. my fiance came looking for me - and let's just say it wasn't hard to spot me.

[GrumpyNee]

Wow....hmmm...I have been trying to think of any shameful disney secret....lol
My last disney secret is that aside from my son and Marie I really dont like sharing WDW with others..male or female....because everytime I do the other party is either whiney about the heat, the crowds etc etc, or they dont like any of the rides. I have been 5 times with others and everytime I would say never again and then someone else would convince me to take them.... After the last person backing out on me in March(which was a relief) I vowed I will never take anyone else that does not appreciate Disney as much as I do, unless they finance the vacation, and even then if they are being pains I will go off solo....:dance3:

That's my secret too! I can't stand going with other people as someone is always unhappy with something. Its WDW! There should be no stress:goodvibes
When I go solo I can just roll with whatever is going on.
8 days until my next solo trip :banana:

[ChevyNat]

I never had a Dole Whip,
I love Haunted Mansion, would ride it over and over again
I don't like the new Block Party Parade at Hollywood Studio (I seen it at Disneyland and did not like it there, sooo)

And my FAV, I love to piss off my Ex-in-laws with my return trips to the greatest place on Earth ha! ha! :lmao:

[BostonRob]

My shameful secret is the I love It's a Small World. I see a lot of people saying their secret is they hate it, but for a 34 year old guy, I think its probably more shameful to love it.

Also, I've never seen Fantasmic. I love shows like that and it sounds cool, but I just can never come around to the idea of wasing an hour waiting for that show.

[MockTurtle]

When are you going in October? I'm doing MNSSHP Oct. 16. I'll be in the world from Oct. 12-19. If you need a partner for splash mountain or Haunted mansion, let me know. Hope to see you there!

I'm actually going to be there from 10.26 to 11.2. But, I am seriously thinking of going back a couple of weeks later for my birthday and to check out MVMCP (11.9 to 11.16). That's insane, I know, but I have an extra timeshare week to use and I've never been to MK for Christmas. This might just be the year.

Hopefully, we can catch Haunted Mansion/Splash Mountain together sometime in the future! :banana:

[marypoppinswannabe]

*I have never ridden Space Mountain
*I don't like all of the Disney shops at the end of all the rides.
*I cry when I see Cinderella's castle
*I love Carousel of Progress
*I get really mad when I see little kids with sunburns in the parks.

Ok, I think that is it for me....

[Stacybaeasm]

Christmas in the world is Beautiful!!! I think seeing the parks decked out in their holiday best is going to be what I miss the most about not living down there anymore. Oh and the castle. I almost never have my picture taken with photo pass but the castle at Christmas is sooooo beautiful that I actually bought the picture last Thanksgiving.

Sorry we'll miss each other this year. HOpefully we will share a ride in the future!

[Googelibear]

I have never seen Fantasmic, because I don't like HS. I just don't want to be there :eek:
I cannot bear to be at the Poly. I tried.
I do not like riding Space Mountain

I could ride Splash Mountain all day long :lovestruc

[BigRedGoat]

I never made it past Germany in the "Drinking around the world challenge" I always end up just staying there for 3 or 4 beers. Definately not a good idea to go on mission space after that either, ask me how I know, hahaha.

[ChevyNat]

An other secret, actually planning a trip elsewhere then Disney World.....:scared1: I know, I know, what am I thinking??? For 2009, the kids and my sister wants to visit San Francisco... I have to see other places too, but I'll be back... ha!

[BostonRob]

Oh, and to me, it will always be Epcot CENTER and Disney-MGM Studios. I guess the shameful part of that is how irrationally I cling to those names from the past.

[Condiment Queen]

Here's my shameful Disney secrets...

*I LOVE Stich's Great Escape!*
*I still beleive the Star Wars characters are real*
*I think Snow White is annoying*
*I'm terrified of the Tower of Terror*
*I don't think it's fair that only kids 12 and under can partisipate in the Jedi Training Academy!*
*I hate Highschool the Musical*
*I have never seen "The Little Mermaid", "The Jungle Book", or "Beauty and the Beast!"*
*I think Epcot is borring!*
*I think Cinderella has the coolest job in the world*

[MockTurtle]

Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone here ever been down Summit Plummet? I'm hoping to add that to my "shameful secret" list in October. I've seen a couple of videos on YouTube and it looks more thrilling than even Tower Of Terror, Mission Space, etc.

[Condiment Queen]

I went on Summit Plummit during my first trip to Walt Disny World! I was about 7 or so and I LOVED it! Has got to be one of fastest water slides I've ever been on! Don't go if your afraid of heights but it sounds like you won't have a problem! :thumbsup2

Oh I do have one more shameful secret now that you mention it!

*I think Disney Pirates are HOT!* pirate:
:lovestruc Capain Jack :lovestruc

[MockTurtle]

Well, I do have a bit of a fear of heights, but I confront it often with rollercoasters and thrilling rides. :scared1:

Where in NC are you from? I grew up in Durham and lived in Charlotte (3 years) and Boone (6 years). I do miss home.

[THEDISFANS]

We went 3 times in one year(total of 21 days in one year love mickey)

[dharmster]

My Disney secrets:

I don't get pin trading at all and kind of hate that it's taken over WDW

Snow White and Minnie Mouse's voices are like nails on a chalkboard

I don't like the giant Sorcerer's Hat at 'HS'...it's MGM and the icon is the Earful Tower people!! (I'm such a luddite)

If I never ride Kali River Rapids again it'll be too soon. I'm inevitably the most soaked on the raft. Never again.

I tear up at most every Disney commercial. That's how I got to go to WDW every year in high school...I'd get my mom and sister all teary and before we knew it we were planning another trip.

I would never stay at another value resort...camping at FW is a way better value for me.

I own Bambi, Dumbo, and Fox and the Hound but will NEVER watch them because they make me so sad.

I don't like Disney's computer graphic animation unless it's Pixar. Bring back the cell animation!

My sister and I send emails that say "Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor mantengase alejado de las puertas" and nothing else just to brighten each others day.

[Condiment Queen]

Well, I do have a bit of a fear of heights, but I confront it often with rollercoasters and thrilling rides. :scared1:

Where in NC are you from? I grew up in Durham and lived in Charlotte (3 years) and Boone (6 years). I do miss home.

That's cool, I'm from a small town called Wilkes County, about an hour away from Charlotte! How cool is that?! It's also a little weird, I can't wait to get out of here! I've lived here all my life (Not much of a small town girl and Wilkes County is about as small town as it gets! LOL)

I have another confession!

*I can't watch Lilo and Stitch without crying my eyes out. I was a lot like Lilo when I was younger and still am to some degree. I'm defeanlty an oddball!*

[lotferg]

This thread is a lot of fun.

Here goes...

- I use the "Hall of Presidents" and "Carousel of Progress" to catch mid-day naps
- I have never been to a Disney water park
- What is a rope drop?
- I felt really guilty using Disney Transportation when I stayed off-site

[hlyntunstl]

What is a rope drop?

It's the park opening. There is usually a big event and countdown before they "drop the rope" to officially open (it's actually more of a "follow the rope" event). I've only seen the ones at Epcot and Magic Kingdom (from inside the park so I didn't get the full effect).

[disfan07]

This thread os so great!!!

1. I could sit and watch phillharmagic all day

2. I only got to hollywoods studios to see the muppets and fantasmic

3. I cry everytime I watch WISHES

4. I am not officially IN WDW until I walk under the MK train station

5. I have no desire to ever stay at the GF or the CR

6. I have 9 Disneyland and WDW CDs that i specifically got so i could listen to them in the hospital

Theres not really anything i dont like about WDW...except for the long lines:thumbsup2

[zima-cheryl]

DH & I got busted by a CM for getting a little to kissy :hug: in a secluded spot on the Discovery Island trails...
Hey...it was our honeymood after all ;)

They really do have cameras everywhere!!!

[MockTurtle]

Should a 40 y/o male be this happy about purchasing MNSSHP tickets? I am going two nights also on 10/28 and 10/30 - one with family and one solo! :woohoo:

[fixiepixie]

i dont "get" epcot
i hate dole whips
i dispise stitch (especially the attraction - if youd even call it that!)
i wana cry every time i walk into mk
i find animal kingdom boring!

[TammieLand]

Well, it was shameful - not too secret...

In 2002, whilst exiting out of It's a Small World, my cute little summer dress became entangled, so to speak, in the exit turnstile - To make matters worse, I wasn't wearing, well, I wasn't wearing...er...it was a FULL MOON.

I ended up mooning what turned out to be the South Florida Tourism Board...I could laugh or cry - so I chose to laugh -

Everytime I have gone to WDW after, I always expect to see a name change to "It's a Wide World After All"....

<----will be there in 2 weeks....<g>

[diznee25]

I have a couple more to share.......

1. Back in 1998 my Dad surprised the family with our first trip to WDW over Christmas week. He made the announcement in the living room where we were all sitting. I jumped up from the couch with excitement while my family looked on. They made fun of me because I was more excited then my sister! I was 18 at the time, and she was 6 years old! :rotfl2:


2. Don't understand the hype with Ohanna's. We tried it once, and it's not on my list of restaurants to return to.

[rebecca06261]

Well, it was shameful - not too secret...

In 2002, whilst exiting out of It's a Small World, my cute little summer dress became entangled, so to speak, in the exit turnstile - To make matters worse, I wasn't wearing, well, I wasn't wearing...er...it was a FULL MOON.

I ended up mooning what turned out to be the South Florida Tourism Board...I could laugh or cry - so I chose to laugh -

Everytime I have gone to WDW after, I always expect to see a name change to "It's a Wide World After All"....

<----will be there in 2 weeks....<g>

:lmao: That gives new meaning to "Disney Comando-Style"!:rotfl:

[mushumadness]

Im flying the 9 and a half hours to orlando and not going to the parks!!!

I hate animal kingdom,

tower of terror scare the living daylight out of me

I have been known to have to resort to begging to get dh to agree to another disney trip!

[just2peachy]

I don't like thrill rides, Thunder Mountain is my idea of a roller coaster.

[LoveGoofy91]

I've never been to Tom Sawyer Island

I hate the "new" figment, he annoys me and so does the ride.

I've never been to Disneyland. We go every year multiple times to DisneyWorld, but I haven't been to Disneyland yet. I want to make a trip within the next year though.


When a cast member is friendly and smiles, it can pretty much make my day. I talked to a guy selling balloons on a previous trip and he was so nice, I was a bit tired and was a little upset about something, so he cheered me up with conversation and it made my day ten times better.

Although these past trips I've met some that looked bored or like they hated their job. How can you be bored at disney? Although, they could have just been having a bad day.

In the movie theater with the big castle before disney movies, I started to tear up. Yep.

[TammieLand]

Cheeky remarks encouraged!!!

[Devil_Dog99]

Cheeky remarks encouraged!!!

Ok - I will take a crack at it. Butt, if I start to get behind in my work, it could be the end of my ca-rear and one of the bottom points in my life.

How does that song go? Moon over Miami??????? Of course now I can't look at that scene in the Peter Pan ride when they show the kids flying off to Neverland..................

:rotfl:

Me too! I agree with all of the above. I have never been to Tom Sawyer's Island. Figment used to be my favorite but I can't stand the new ride. I have also been known to tear up a little at the castle. Glad to know I'm not the only one. :)

My Disney shameful secret:

In spite of this........

I totally dislike Wishes!



Sorry Wishes fans :upsidedow

[lotferg]

Should a 40 y/o male be this happy about purchasing MNSSHP tickets? I am going two nights also on 10/28 and 10/30 - one with family and one solo! :woohoo:

What? And you're single? Where were you before I got married?

[PGHProducer]

While I love almost all things Disney... I DESPISE High School Musical to the point that I believe it's destroying America.

[phinz]

I've never watched the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom and I've never watched a parade.

I really don't much care for the Magic Kingdom and I can't stand the bus system.

[sunny_stace]

oh this is a fabulous thread!! Totally cheered me up! Here are mine:

I am terrified of audioanimatronic dinosaurs (but love Dinosaur!)
I think DHS is starting to lack something - and I will never call it "hollywood studios" - it is MGM!
I hate that Tinkerbell and Minnie get all the attention - where's more Daisy Duck!! I get mad when I see all the merchandise (even though I love them all!)
I too want to trip the kids in heelies
I hate seeing sullen teenagers in the parks - leave them at home where they can sulk without trying to gloom up my day! I want to shout "BE HAPPY" at them!
I love watching other people's children see the parks for the first time - and I am jealous that I am not married yet or have kids of my own to take
I think the Nemo show is overrated
I clap and squeal at both Disney commercials and the castle before Disney movies
I was angry at DBFF for suggesting we go somewhere else on vacation next year
I still get creeped out when entering HM- but it's my fave!
I have my Disney Wedding planned and I don't have a boyfriend!

I could probably go on and on but I'll save you from it and leave it at that!:thumbsup2

[rebecca06261]

I'm embarrased to admit that I'm right there with you on the planning a Disney Wedding w/o a BF. :hug:

[pjwelch]

Those little guys in the spectromagic parade creep me out too. Turkey legs suck. tried one and couldn't even come close to eating it all. I can eat almost any hing. No one in my family would eat more than one bite either. Why do they still have them? :mad:

[pjwelch]

taking people with me. Would prefer a solo try, just a few days. Tammieland. Now that's funny I don't care who you are!! LOL:lmao: :rotfl2: :worship:

[10_Kyle_10]

DH & I got busted by a CM for getting a little to kissy :hug: in a secluded spot on the Discovery Island trails...
Hey...it was our honeymood after all ;)

They really do have cameras everywhere!!!

Im sure there are more of these stories, anyone feel to share... :lmao:

[Dizmom0923]

I'm embarrased to admit that I'm right there with you on the planning a Disney Wedding w/o a BF. :hug:

So am I. :hug:

[phinz]

Thought of another couple...

I've never been when I didn't contemplate beating someone over the head with their stroller. ;)

After getting some kind of sickly funk every time I've been, I now refer to WDW as "The Happiest Petri Dish on Earth."

[Mlissa88]

*blush* I'm ashamed to admit my shameful Disney secret but here goes....

At some point I always feel like I'm going to snap if one more person hits the back of my ankles with their stroller.

[GADzilla]

So am I. :hug:

Although I can't say I'm crazy enough to have planned any part of it at all, it is made clear in any relationship I enter into that if it gets to that point the wedding will be at WDW. :earboy2:

[sunny_stace]

[gbpackfan9]

Quite an interesting collection. Here are a few of mine:

I don't watch the parades.
Not a fan of Illuminations.
Never been to HDDR.

I do enjoy the many trips I've had to WDW and look forward to many :banana:

HEY!!! I remember you!!! (just kidding!)

[Welsh]

I'm madly in love with Peter Pan to the point where I'm too shy to meet him in the park and take a photo with him! :love:

Also, I don't have kids and I haven't had a boyfriend in years but I'm already scheming up future family trips to WDW! :laughing:

[ldadar]

I look for threads like this to up my post count - oh that's a shameful disboards secret not a Disney secret.

[luckyfin]

My dog's name is Princess Aurora but DH was always too embarrased to tell people so she answers to Rory.:dog:

[sunny_stace]

alright I have a new one...Am I the only one out there with a crush on "Mack" from the Pirate tutorial at MK? ;) LOL Sooo funny!

[rebecca06261]

I have never seen DUMBO! :confused3

Anyone else?

I cried when I last watched Dumbo...3 weeks ago. :sad1:

[ldadar]

I spend hours on dis researching for other people's trips!!:scared:

[marmar]

I believe their should be an age limit. No one under 5. This would mean NO strollers. Under 5's seldom remember any of these "once in a lifetime" trips.

Or restrict them to Fantasy land. I could even give up PeterPan for not dealing with screaming, sunburned, exhausted preschoolers, who have no idea what is going on or where they are. And Parents who are hot, exhausted and even more cranky from pushing around the loaded 50lb stroller.

Maybe someday the parents will admit it's they who want to have a nice Disney vacation and leave the tiny ones with grandma in Baltimore.

We did not take our daughter to WDW until she was 9. She appreciated it a lot more and remembers the trip.pirate:

While I like the idea it would never fly...

I always thought an "adult only" hotel or even wing/building at one of the resorts would be nice. How many longhouses are there at the Poly? Couldn't 1 be reserved just for adults?

Sorry if your experiences with under 5 is like this but this is DISNEY and our experience with under 5 has been wonderful. Just a reminder this is DISNEY! Just in case you thought you were posting for a vacation to Los Vegas .

[rebecca06261]

:confused3 I thought this thread was entitled "shameful secrets?" Aren't we supposed to be airring the secrets we're ashamed to admit openly elsewhere on the boards?;)

[Mr Smee23]

My Shameful Secret, I want to grab up and slap the Mom and or Dad's who. While they're 3yr old is having a meltdown. They are acting more childish than the 3yr old. I mean the other day a mom had her child walking the park at 3yrs old. Can you blame her for her meltdown. I get cranky after walking 12 miles. I mean the child is little the mom is 30. And the child was acting more mature.

[Stacy's a freak]

lol rebecca!

Maybe my next shameful secret will get us back on topic...

I've lost that special feeling for the characters in the parks. Even just 5 years ago I would think of Eeyore as THE Eeyore. Now, after being to too many character meals and seeing food stains on the costumes, I have lost a bit of that magic. And yes, I'm 35 this year but that doesn't have anything to do with it.

This one is not only shameful but very sad!

:sad2:

[Stacy's a freak]

I look for threads like this to up my post count - oh that's a shameful disboards secret not a Disney secret.

nice one! :surfweb:

[TheQueenMum]

I cry at the MK parade. :lovestruc
I don't ride roller coasters.:scared1:
I love Breakfast at the Castle more than my 6 year old DD.:love:
The drop at the beginning of the POTC ride is the scariest part of my trip every time!:idea:

[trennr]

When I'm forced to ride "...it's a small world."

I use my invisible riffle to pick off the little suckers one at a time.

Then immagine them fleeing in screams of terror!!! :scared1:

bwhaaahaaa (evil laugh) :laughing:

[Mickey1Fan]

TheQueenMom, I am much like you.

I do not do roller coasters and only do POTC because after the big drop (big to me, everyone else says 'what drop') it is a fun ride.

Have never seen High School Musical and hopefully never will. I do not understand the adult fans.

I cried and yelled 'stop the ride' while on Test Track. Not a (shameful) secrect to those who were riding close to our car.

The biggest secret is that no one knows my best trip was the one where I was able to spend four days by myself at The World!

[PlainJane]

I don't like fireworks

I also don't like parades

I have never been to rope drop (I won't be able to say that after July because the only reservation they had left for CRT was at 8:25 AM:faint: )

I've never ridden Dumbo

I don't really like Space Mountain

[ANTSS2001]

I wish I did not waste my time last month in line to see "Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show" and had done something else... that would be the 1st and the last time.. :guilty: :ssst:

[Bill Brown]

Live stage shows are where I go to take naps. :guilty:

[IlovemythreeC's]

I edited the post because my son came in and decided to post for me when I was not home~ Sorry!

[luv4mylittleones]

Here's mine...

The talking robot trash can in Tomorrowland scares the crap out of me! It chased us on our honeymoon humming the wedding song. We were so caught off guard that I screamed (and cursed...oops)... I was totally mortified! I have been afraid of public trash cans ever since!

Oh...and don't tell my kids but my Disney wedding was the most amazing day of my life...it beat their births by a mile!! hahaha!!!! okay...their biths were pretty special too but hey...where was Mickey? :rotfl2:

[simplyliz]

LOL, I never thought I'd have the same dirty secrets as so many other people!

I think many people would kill me for this but I hate Spectromagic. I just don't get it...it's so boring...

I love the PotC movies so much that my ringtone has been the "Fog Bound Intro" for over three years and yet, I don't really like the PotC attraction! Go figure. :confused3

I am actually scared of turkey legs. I managed to bite into one once but it tasted like ham?! WTH?? I spit it out so fast I almost took a kid's eye out!

I could (and have) skip MK but would cry if I didn't get to go to AK.

I get choked up every time I see Fantasmic. I don't know why, just do!

[cazcol21]

hahaha this is soooo funny!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

my secrets are......

I HATE WINNIE THE POOH - HE IS NOT DISNEY IN MY EYES AND HE IS EVERYWHERE - LIKE STARBUCKS!!!!!!! (YES I AM SHOUTING!!!)

Driving under the maingate signs makes my eyes teary!!!!:love:

I LOVE STITCH:cheer2:

Kids in HEALYS in the parks need knocking over! :eek:

I wish there were adult only days in the parks!!:wizard:

Turkey Legs and Churos make me wanna puke:sick:

I HATE WINNIE (have I already mentioned this?):mad: :mad: :mad:

I also worry about squeezing into some ride seats:scared:

[Poohs Pal]

1):scared: I steal towel animals:sad2:
2)I have never went on spaceship earth
3)I have never visited the tiki room
4)I prefer going to the spa and jellyrolls rather than the parks
I may have to go under cover now that I revealed #1 Susan

[miami]

Hollywood Studios is my least favorite park... Epcot is my most favorite. I've never been on Tower of Terror or the Rock 'n Roller Coaster, probably never will. I have gone on Space Mountain.

Mickey Mouse Rocks... Minnie doesn't. I refuse to stand in line for a parade... too many attractions to see, so little time. I refuse to stand in line more than 15 minutes, nothing is worth waiting any longer. I can always catch it next time.

[LKLush]

A few off the top of my head:
--I dislike parents losing control of their children, then yelling at them in the parks
--Oliver and Company makes me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME
--(Like many before me) MK is my least favorite park and AK my favorite
--I wish there wasn't a weaker side of Mission Space; if you can't ride the real thing, then don't :rolleyes2 (I know, I know...but it IS my shameful secret, right?)
--My fave character? Marie - can't wait to get a pic w/ her :lovestruc

[catgirl]

I really like wearing special made T's and getting noticed. Which is really weird, because I'm shy and like to blend in any other situation:confused3

[diznee25]

DH and I watch the Disney channel....a lot. And we don't even have children! :blush:

[Suzie Zoo]

1. Rock'n Roller Coaster made me sick... but I think Space Mountain is boring
2. Never had Dole Whip, either...
3. Hollywood Studios is, by far, my favorite park
4. I was bummed that I was too old for Jedi Training (the SW theme is my ringtone)
5. One of my favorite things on my last trip (this past April) was getting Chick-Fil-A in the Orlando airport!!! (We don't have them here!)

[Stacy's a freak]

Who is Marie? Marie Osmond? Marie Curie? Pardon my ignorance :duck:

Who is Marie? Marie Osmond? Marie Curie? Pardon my ignorance :duck:

I believe she is referring to the white kitten from Aristocats...

[luv4mylittleones]

I believe she is referring to the white kitten from Aristocats...

Holy cow...I just typed Marie Disney into google to double check myself (and I was right) but I noticed that Disney's only biological child's name was Diane Marie Disney. I never knew that...I am also a Diane Marie (Boy I wish I were a Disney too!!)

My six year old daughter turned seven during our last Disney vacation. I let her wear the "birthday button" EVERY day that we were there! ::yes::

[SweetAmy31]

hahaha this is soooo funny!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

I HATE WINNIE THE POOH - HE IS NOT DISNEY IN MY EYES AND HE IS EVERYWHERE - LIKE STARBUCKS!!!!!!! (YES I AM SHOUTING!!!)

I LOVE STITCH:cheer2:

Turkey Legs and Churos make me wanna puke:sick:

I agree with these! I'm sorry I'm a huge meat lover and still seeing ppl walk around eating those turkey legs...:sick: Its just so weird and gross!

Also I smoke in non-smoking sections (but away from crowds like in a corner) when I just cant find one of those spots and I really need a smoke, cause its that or smack my kid, or worse yet, someone else's kid! :smokin:

I also cant stand the happy perfect family who all dress alike, come on folks, its creepy!!!!

Lastly, I totally wanna flirt with the guy who plays Jack Sparrow and does a street show thing in Epcot. I know its not Jonny Depp, but hey its the closest I'll ever get, so he'll do! :banana:

[philatiger]

I stalk GOOFY!!! and god help anyone in my way when I see him :yay: :yay:

[jadedbeauty14304]

I have had impure thoughts about a performer at Jellyrolls

:bitelip:

[Keneke]

I have never seen any of the Brother Bears, and for some reason don't feel compelled to. For shame! I mean, I loved Home on the Range, so what is the problem???

My other shame is that I sometimes avoid spending thinking about or seeing Disney websites, stores, movies, etc. so that I can get the most mileage out of the anticipation in my own brain. I don't want to overdose!

[Scambone]

I thought about selling my 'eggs' so I could go to Disney sooner but after hearing how they do it I decided on just working my butt off at my regular job.

I never leave the house without something Disney.

I judge people by how much they like Disney. It sounds horrible but if they hate Disney I can't be their friend.

I put Mickey heads on everything. My professor once made a comment on my test about all the hidden mickeys I made on it. :laughing:

[Fantasmiss]

I don't like the thrill rides, the "Festival of the Lion King" show, or the "Mary Poppins" and "Hercules" movies.

I'm not mad for AK, my husband has to DRAG me there every time we visit WDW. Yes, it IS a zoo. A zoo with rides&shows.

My husband and I've seen Fantasmic like 15 times and Philharmagic so many times I wouldn't even admit it if I knew the number!

I've got a Pal Mickey.. I was "only" 27 when I bought him, haha! Don't think I've seen many people my age with a P.M. But I like him! I promise I'm not weird otherwise :laughing:

Sorry if I offend anyone, but: I really really hate it when people smoke in the parks.. Especially outside the smoking areas or near kids. It can make allergic people very sick or worse, cause great damage on kids (and others) and I don't think smoking belongs in a place like WDW. They should have closed ventilated smoking rooms or smoking areas outside the parks. Rant over :)

My husband and I go around smiling like idiots pretty much all day while we're in WDW!

[SweetAmy31]

You dont offend me. I have asthma and smoke so I know I'm an a$$. :smokin: I really try not to smoke anywhere but the designated spots, but sometimes they are so hard to find. :hyper:
Not that it matters but just so you know, I dont smoke around kids. Even in the designated areas when someone shows up with their kids...I move or just put it out! My kids know I smoke, but they also know I dont do it around them. :lovestruc
Also just a note, I'm in no way trying to offend you but as an asthmatic I'm filled with useless facts from reading signs in the doctor's office ;) . Smoking is an irritant not an allergent. Therefore it can annoy and aggravate your senses but you cant be allergic to it. I know its stupid :confused3 (same thing, right, but I thought I'd try to seem smart since i'm dumb enuff to smoke and have asthma.) :rolleyes1

[WDW~Lover]

ok, my turn!

~ I hate parades..this is when I do my favorite rides
~ I do watch the fireworks at disney, but not a huge fan (rather watch from my resort room)
~ do not eat in many restaurants..but LOVE the 50's Prime time
~ Will not do trill rides after being taken out by ambulance in the AK
~ I am doing 5 nights at All Stars Music but I have a phobia of value resorts
(the only thing saving me there is the 5 nights are followed by 7 at
the Dolphin)

~ I hate crowds so I go off times
~ I to have never had a Dole Whip!

[Sorsha]

*We didn't like Le Cellier but LOVED Ohana!
*I can't stand DHS and would happily skip it every trip.
*I don't like thrill rides and would happily trade back Test Track and Mission Space if they would put World of Motion and Horizons back just like they were. :)
* I LOVE Ellen's Energy Adventure and the Living with the Land rides.
*I do not sanitize everything in my room, carry no hand sanitizer for ride safety bars, and even walk barefoot on my hotel room carpet. And I am not dead yet. ;)

[Piglet Pal]

my shameful secrets are that I thought space mountain was booring.

and i love captain shang!!! shame cant meet him :(

[goofygrl4]

Oooooo my number one even when in public but especially when at WDW parents who hit and yell at there children for being children!!!!!!:mad:

they are excited of course they are gonna be a little wound up, there is a better way to control them!!!!!!!:confused3

OMG I feel the same way, I want to grab those parent's and give them a taste of their own medicine!!

I know the DISNEY point and how to properly give people directions when they are lost.

I can quote the whole Haunted Mansion ride and a few others.

I hate people who do not rent strollers for their kids and then are yelling at them becuase they are tired or their complaining their feet hurt.

I know where almost EVERY bathroom's are and also which ones are more private and off the beaten path.

I know all the words to Epcots Illuminations show and the OLD parade that went before it.

I could keep going but I'll stop! Im related to and friends with many cast members!

OOH that is another one! I've become very close friends with the boys of OFF KILTER! They watched me grow up from age 7 to now 23! We email. chat and so on! THey've even taken my family out for dinner and so on.

OH and I''ve been in the stretch room with only ONE other person in it! IT WAS GREAT, after being there so may times we became friends with some of the cast members and they put us on the ride LAST at the end of one the night. it was so great!

I love DOLEWHIP I always have!

If I NEVER see another mime thingy in Italy I'll be great, they creep me out!

I HATE HATE HATE that dinasour ride with ELLEN in EPCOT, they really need to get rid of that and put in something fun!

OH and the pavillion with body tours and what not needs to be up graded.

oh and I've been tempted and come really close to tripping kids with HEALY SHOES!

[GrumpyNee]

While I love almost all things Disney... I DESPISE High School Musical to the point that I believe it's destroying America.

I totally agree! I can't stand HSM. It's like adrug to kids:worried:

[GrumpyNee]

I got back a couple of weeks ago and have a new list of shameful secrets :yay:
~ I have never gone to one of the stage shows.
~ Can't stand DHS except TOT
~ Love test track but get grumpy b/c my hair is always one big knot when its over
~ Get mad :furious: at parents who drag their toddlers around at 1am w/extra magic hours
~ POTC bores me
~can't stand the Stitch ride

[NedsTJ]

I will ride and reride JC until I hear ALL the corny jokes....

Can't stand HSM either and totally despise the HSM parade/pep rally/show thingy they do...

Will ride IASM at least twice each trip...

have never been to Ohana (or La celler)

have never had a Dole whip (although I will try one next trip).

Absolutly love Hoop-De-Doo-Review...

[Disney845]

So many of us have similar "secrets" :)

-I listen to MouseWorld Radio at work and sing along out loud all the time (my co-workers think I am insane)
-my log in to my work software program is my DIS user name and my co-workers sometimes call me Disney845
-One day a couple of guys that do business with our company came into my office, one was standing next to the door when someone else had to exit so I said to him "Por favor, mantengase alejado de las puertas" -again my co-workers thought I was insane
-I never liked Fantasmic, I just think it is boring
-I TOTALLY do not get Pin Trading and am really sick of having to see it EVERYWHERE in the parks
-I do not like Winnie the Pooh (doesn't really seem Disney) or Tink (she has become like the trashy/walmart disney character)
-I totally tear up or get goose bumps for Disney commercials, Disney Travel Channel Specials, the fireworks shows, any of the attractions with what I consider poignant dialogue ('Imagine...just for a moment", "Since the dawn of recorded time...", "If we can dream it, we can do it") or music ("It's fun to be free", "There's a great big beautiful tomorrow", "Tomorrow's Child", "Listen to the land")


SO's secrets?
-He is completely petrified of the ToT (although he says it just made him feel "sick" the only time I could get him to ride it)
-The first time we ever rode MS (before they had a choice of sides) he didn't hit his buttons like he was supposed to and grabbed one of the white barf bags on the way out, I was walking ahead of him and ribbing him for not hitting the button and telling him he shouldn't have taken one of those bags just to have it, when I realized he was actual getting sick in it! He had to sit down on a bench in the exit hall and a cast member brought him a paper cup of water and an "official" looking guy (not in cast costume but in khaki's and a polo) came over to "inquire" after his health
-we both love the Norway spiel when your boat returns ("Welcome back brave vikings") and the way that the cast member at the unloading dock says "welcome to Nooorrrway" and any time anything even remotely related to Norway comes up in our daily lives we always say that to one another

[mjperry]

I dont tell meany people about being a disney fanatic. But I love to talk about it if somone brings it up and ask questions I love to share what I know. If I could only find a nice single lady that as a fanatic as me I would be set.

[mjperry]

I also love to ride webway people mover, I guess it's because I love the announcements while you ride.

[disneyismyname]

Mr. Snail I love your sig! The house that was filmed in is near where I live. They've refurbed it and opened it for tours. I went once and met the guy who delivered the "fra-gi-le" package. He still lives on that block and was hired as an extra.

Sorry for the hijack.

Your so lucky!! I've lived in Ohio all my life and never seen it!!=-(

I found out when I went to WDW that I've become a big wuss since the last time I went to Disneyland. I used to ride EVERYthing, especially the mountains, but found rides I've been on literally hundreds of times before frightening. Or at least they made me nervous. Also the POTC at WDW SUCKS!!! The one at WDL is way better. I have never rode JC, was going to in May but it was closed for refurb :furious: . Wouldn't mind seeing a little of Toon Town (the game) take over the MTTF area. Dole whip floats are the greatest. Never had a turkey leg there. HATE the parades and most of the live shows but dig all fireworks, just maybe not the show that goes with them.

[nurse.darcy]

Okay, so I need to post now. . .got some new shameful secrets. . .

1. RnRC is OVER THE TOP fun. . .I mean, rock music and spirals. . .yeah. . .
2. Slushies in France. . .very nice. . .
3. Space Mountain at MK is boring compared with DLR, and very rough. . .
4. WHY cant I take my gun out of the holster on Space Ranger Spin. . .I can when i am in California. . .
5. Don't tell my friends but I like the beginning of TOT at DHS better than in California. .. my cali friends would disown me if they heard me saying that. . .
6. I will probably never again stay at Pop, or any location that is not Epcot. . .I loved pop but I am now in love with the Epcot location. . .sorry. . .

[NewYorkRedNeck]

The Oolong and strawberry slushies in China are awesome

[Lorenski]

[rebecca06261]

Forgive me disers for I have sinned...again...this past weekend...and therefor must add to my long list of shameful secrets.:worried:

I parked at the Fantasia Mini-Golf Course so that I could park for free when I couldn't remember the name of the ts restaurant at the boardwalk.

feeling nostalgic, I lied to the POR security dude, said I had a dinner ressie at boatwrights, and caught the boat to DTD. It get's worse. On the return ride back to POR, a really sweet lady in a wheelchair started asking me about my stay at POR, i.e. what location, doncha just love it, etc. Instead of being honest, I made up some answers... "Oak Manor, Ma'am." "Of Course."

Overhearing my conversation, the kind, no reason to think I'm a fraud - single dad sitting behind me offered his two cents and an invitation to drinks after we docked. ::yes::
Actually, I'm not entirely a fraud- I declined the offer.

I'm seriously going to hell.

[Scambone]

My graudation money went to a Disney trip instead of a new car
I HATE Whispering Canyon and I will never ever go back there
I think the njguy is cute
I love the desserts from france
At work I sing and dance to Disney music when I'm alone. :banana:

[Stacy's a freak]

I LOVE IT! :banana: :banana:

I work at a library so i get caught often when I get to loud. haha

Some dude tried to pick you up? For some reason that seems a bit odd in Disney.

hmmmm - maybe that should be my next weird thread "who has been picked up at WDW?" :laughing:

[Stacy's a freak]

As long as you can sing ... the other day I went to local coffee/bagel cafe and was serenaded (the whole place was) by the cashier who was a terrible singer! I have to applaud her attitude/cheeryness, but ... yikes!

[Scambone]

sorry to say it but I'm a horrible singer but I dont sing loud enough for everyone to hear me. I only sing when downstairs in the classic books where only a few people travel. I mainly get caught by coworkers who make fun of me for liking disney so much. I'm waiting for a video of my performance will show up on youtube

ps. the bagel girl sounds like my friend. She belts out tunes from the top of her lungs. some times I find it funny, other times I want to crawl in a hole and die.

[LittleSeacow]

I LOVE people watching at Disney.....hehe :listen:

Yes! You definitely should start that thread! I 've been approached by quite a few single dads...and a couple of times by married ones:eek: I'm the friendly, cute, lady who loves kids and Disney. Dads fall for it all the time ;)

Yes! You definitely should start that thread!
About 10 years ago, my best friend and I were at Pleasure Island and a single guy started talking to us at one of the clubs. Said he came to Disney alone to meet women and wanted to know if he could hang out with us for the rest of our trip. Seemed like a nice guy but a bit odd.

My newest shameful Disney secret is that we pulled the "have to go to the ladies room" ploy after making several polite (and failed) attempts at ending the conversation and snuck out the club. Maybe I'm still single due to bad karma? :confused3
