DCL Confessions

[TwinPrincessMermaids]

I with you. I'm a 41 year old dude and still wear the Disney shirts and whistle tunes...but I don't go to the mall if I can help it.

BTW... Mermaids never looked so good!

I've been reading the last few pages of this thread and it seems we all have different ideas about what "chair hogging" means. I have always thought that "chair hogging" was when you got up super early and went and put your things on chairs that you had no intention of using for hours or went to the pool and put your things in a chair and then took off to lunch or a tasting, or something similar. You get the idea. I would never consider myself a "chair hogger" but the way some of you are describing it then I guess I am.

We do not put our things in chairs on the pool deck and then leave and go have lunch or partake in some other activity BUT we did/do leave them in/under a chair to get in the pool or hot tub. We do leave our flip flops, cover up, backpack and towel in a chair on CC to swim and snorkel BUT we did/do not leave our things to go have lunch or ride bikes or parasail, etc.

Well, this being an open confessional which should be free from judgement, you of course are entitled to your opinion...

...even though it is wrong.

Some might not understand the concept of adults singing Disney songs and swimming in mermaid costumes either. I always wonder why the people who are in the 'that could never happen, that's not real category' like Disney, because nothing is real about Disney! That's WHAT I like about it!

I also give the characters credit. They aren't models, they are actresses. They stay in character the entire time, and they don't just sign stuff, they interact with you. We enjoyed our time with Princess Tiana (a lovely complete class act), and when we told Ariel that we were real life mermaids too on the island that day, without missing a beat, she asked "and what color mermaids were you?"

I love those gals. They are living my dream. I believe it's not easy and seeing them all over the ship or park IS thrilling, whether I'm 13 or 31!

My DH loved this one, haha. When we were at Serenity Bay he kept trying to get me to take some tiny shells and I kept telling him "no, that's not allowed", lol.

You can buy the tails! I'm upgrading to a brighter tail color before my next CC visit in May. Oddly I don't have any photos AT CC altho we did "snorkel" as usual in our tails. I did hand make my shell top tho. Big project and I am happy with how it turned out.

You guys look wonderful. I love your tails.

Probably the only example of being able to say "I love your tails" without it being inappropriate.

My awful confession: I cruised a few times when I was 18 and 19, and I was... bored. Not that I didn't LOVE the experience, I did! The dining, the shows, even the parties were amazing. Castaway Cay is the best place ever. But when you're too old for the teen club and too young for the bars (and your family won't do ANYTHING except maybe go to the basketball court for 30 minutes-- I went to all the shows alone), it's tough.

That said, it's been many years since I cruised and I can't wait to go back and introduce my soon-to-be-DH to DCL. We can't afford it anytime soon, but the idea of 'starting over' with cruising, of being able to enjoy the adult areas, of being able to do a scavenger hunt or an onboard seminar without the 'Why? That's dumb,' attitudes of family... it sounds wonderful. Someday.

 

[moomy-san]

Narnian_Princess.... why do you have a picture of my husband in your signature?

 

[Feisty Fairy]

Here goes my confession: on the Disney Dream last year I set off the smoke detector with the steam from my shower. I got call asking if everything was okay. I said I am not sure what happened and the said did you just take a shower. Embarrassed, guess it happens a lot.

DH did this on our last cruise. Boy, is that alarm LOUD.

Luckily, I had read about this incident on the DISboards, and knew about it.

Yes it is loud.

 

[noahdove]

I have to say, that I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do a cruise because of my fear of water..well, as you can see, I will be cruising in April of 2014 Love it and I was never bored on the first one...I can't wait

Hands off!

There must be some mistake. You see, he's MY husband!

(Although we may have to split up soon... My DFiance will become my DH in 9 days and he would take exception to me being married to anyone else. *sigh* It was nice while it lasted!)

 

[munchkin322]

Just found this thread and LOVING it!!

So here goes my confession:
I am in the mid-30's and I still dash to get in line to get pictures with the characters....I talk to princesses about their lives (I did ask belle what boom she is reading nowadays; I asked Cinderella what she did that day...I asked Tinker Bell how she got on the ship!! And she said it took her 10 bottles of pixie dust to fly all the way to the ship!)

Also, I took advantage of the quiet rainforest's heat lounge area and fell asleep....woke myself up snoring several times!! Lol

One more thing...I always ask my friend to make me Disney shirts (she does embroidery....) so I own several embroidery shirts that you see ifs wearing....lol

 

[omalley1118]

Wait. What do you mean by "CMs who are dressed as characters"????

ROTFL!!!! My 9yo son still great them with all the exuberance of a very young child. It's a joy to watch, and I will miss that when he's older. My 12yo daughter, who has an old soul, always whispers to me, "I won't tell him."
