What is your Disney shameful secret?

[nurse.darcy]

I dont care for DHS, pricey park and not as fun as the others, but I love it at Christmas Time: I love EPCOT, but hate Mission Space; Love Tomorrow Land, but Hate Stich's Ride. Animal Kingdom, HHmmmm each time I go there, I leave to another park. I must go there and spend a WHOLE day.
At the End of the Day, I love WDW, but hate when I have to leave there.

My solution for you? Buy hopper tix. That way you can enjoy 2 or more parks on the same day. If you are there on vacation, the cheapest way to go is to buy multi day park hopper tickets. One day, one park tickets are THE MOST EXPENSIVE tickets ever. I have an annual pass and I probably go to DHS more than any other park (including my fave - Animal Kingdom). My annual pass has paid for itself many times. When I renew in August I get to purchase a FLORIDA RESIDENT annual pass.

Seriously though, I cannot tell you how many times I have been standing in line and heard people say "well, you know, if we go here today we can't go to any other park because we can only do one park a day". I always feel sorry for those folk. . .

I've never been on BTMRR

Bite the bullet. . .its my son's fave. Go on BTMRR. . .Disneyland's version is my favorite. . .(of course, Disneyland's version is my favorite for most of the rides that are shared by both theme parks).

What's price about DHS? Same prices as other parks for admission, souvenirs and food. You know... DHS was at the bottom of my park list for a long time. I didn't "get" it. Some trips we skipped it completely. Then, last summer we did a "discover DHS day" that turned into 3 days. We actually found so much to do that we'd never before considered and we had a great time. And we came back into the park 3 days in a row (although not for the whole day). We discovered all sorts of things we never thought about before.

Turkey legs ARE gross and I think of them as belonging at a Renaissance Fair.

Nobody likes the Stitch "ride" which is a sorry excuse for an attraction. I can't understand why its still there. Its SO lame.

Last trip in Nov, we spent more time in Dinoland when it wasn't crowded. Its fun and kitchey, but you need to understand the "back" story, which I think you can find on one of the blogs on allears.net

I Kali River Rapids.... sometimes we save it for the end of the day near park closing so we can go over and over and get soaked, and then go back to the resort and change! Its a blast!!

We really didn't care for toontown other than the Barnstormer and the character places. Really HATE the Stitch ride and not sure why it is still there.
Don't like the Jungle Parade at AK.
I won't try to ride Space Mountain (did it after the new changes), boring and huge line (We have a no longer than 20 minute wait rule)
I don't like the Tower of Terror either and has Indiana Jones changed in the last 20 years?

 

[Altoqueenkelly]

has Indiana Jones changed in the last 20 years?

I dont think so, at least it doesnt feel like it has!

 

[ocean134]

Yeah, that Indiana Jones show needs a major face lift, or maybe it's time for it to move out and let something better come in. I've seen it so many times, I could do the whole show with my eyes closed.

I'll get to it eventually. I had never done Matterhorn until my last trip because the line was always too long. I won't get in a line longer than 20-30 minutes. I finally did it during MNSSHP and LOVED it! I'm sure it'll be the same with BTMRR.

I've never stayed at The MK long enough to watch the fireworks.

No excuses with BTMRR, it has FASTPASS. As for Matterhorn, I agree that the line moves fairly slow so I also never wait if I have to wait more than 20 to 30 minutes.

Now that I did not know. I guess I have no excuse not to go my next trip now. hahaha.

 

[Fly for a Walt Guy]

Not a fan of the parades and have never seen Illuminations, maybe in Sept!! I LOVE Magic Kingdom!!

Ditto to these! And I've never seen Wishes...

 

[WickedDreamer]

to WDW once. And I'm not sure if I'll ever go again.

I have a good reason though: I'm Australian

I've had a major Mickey obsession since I was three and I finally visited WDW in December 2009. I cried as we left and I'm not sure if I'll ever get to visit again. But I still check out the WDW website every day, I price a visit once a week or so, I've just discovered this forum and will be a regular visitor, and I order the brochures every time there are new ones.

Tragic, I know.

Same here Though I have not been to Disney world Yet we are planning on coming next year for a week - 10 days, started planning early this year, and am already counting down the months I wish DW was a little closer or there was a magical express

I HATE the term "ressies"... it sends shivers down my spine!!

Make that at least three of us.

Oh, and I *hate* The Laughing Place song even more than I hate It's a Small World.

OMG!!! I thought I was the only one...it's so infuriating...just write the darn word out! The other one I hate is "subbing"...why do you even need to tell people you've subscribed...and if so..just say it!

OMG!!!! NO!!!! I LOVE the Laughing Place! But whatever floats your boat I guess...

Ok.."The Laughing Place"? What is this? Am I missing something?

The laughing place is based on the movie 'Song of the South'. Br'er Rabbit had his laughing place. There is a comedy show at MK called the Laughing Place based upon that. Fun for the kids, esp. if they got to know the characters ahead of time. Unfortunately, Disney has opted to never re-release that classic movie so the kids are really losing out on the experience of the attraction.

Thank you! I do recall watching that movie when I was a kid...some things from the movie have stuck in my memory but I didn't recall The Laughing Place. I guess since I don't have kids I was not aware of this show at the Parks. By the sound of it, I guess I'm not missing much.

 

[Disneyfreak616]

"Laughing Place" is from the Song of the South and is played on Splash Mountain. Ya know... "Everybody has a laughing place, a laughing place, to go ho ho!" etc. etc. It's such a cute song and I love that part of the ride, especially in Disneyland!
