Acronymns?

[imlazar]

I've seen lots of acronymns on this board such as DH, DS, DS8 etc. often used to describe family members.

I'm stumped, what do they mean?

 

[webray]

Dear Husband, dear son, dear son (age 8)

 

[dwkwootton]

We always thought it was Disney Wife,DW Disney Daughter,DD too.

 

[GavinsMom]

I too thought DD=disney daughter and DS=disney son, etc.
Maybe we're the one's that have it right and the DearSon or DearWife, etc was wrong!!!

The CMs on the ships call themselves Crew Members, Cast Members are on land or on stage.

Thanks for the link. I've stumbled across it before (while lurking) but can never seem to find things when I need to. I saved it as a favorite for future reference.

Youre welcome!
If you lose it again, you can go to the Dis Main Boards page, then click on the Welcome Board. The link to abbreviations is posted under the sticky thread up top titled "Useful info for newbies".

And, if you notice DIS Cast Member under someones name on these boards that does not mean they are a cast member or crew member for Disney, but just that they have reached a certain amount of posts on the boards. Thought I would add to the confusion!! DIS cast member is a term that just refers to these boards!!!

I can't find an entry for "LOTW". Lord of the Wing?

 

[Jamesbyr]

LOTW...Lake of the Woods is a resort in the Orlando area. Could that be it?

This is such and entertaining post . Here is another one. IMHO In my humble (or is it honest?) opinion. I like humble better. It is less Simon Cowell
I always get confused when reading about the Disney hotels. Eiye, Yi, Yi!!

Here's a summary of what we have so far on this thread, with a couple of mine tossed in.

DIS Board Abbreviations

DH-Dang, Darn, Dumb Husband

DD(10) means a daughter that is 10 years old, DS6 means a son that is 6 yo (years old)

AP = Animators Palate (can also mean Annual Pass - at the parks)
PC = Parrot Cay - can also mean Port Canaveral - need to check the context
L = Lumiere's
T = Tritons

REAS = Romantic Excape At Sea Package (spa, Palo, 1 romantic breakfast in bed ...). Extra charge

CC mostly means Castaway Cay but can mean Credit Card
KTTW - Key To The World card = room key and all of the spending money you need while onboard the ship or on CC

OP - Original Poster (or Post on a thread)
CM - Cast Member (a Disney employee)

Lifts are elevators
Queues are what we here in the states call lines (as in standing in line)
