Does this annoy anyone else?

I'll correct, too. Most people around here just call it Disney- and that's good enough for me.

But onlline I prefer to use the abbreviation, WDW, so I can put the Walt into the name =)

It annoys me. Tierney and Zoe, my best friends, call it disneyland and every time I'm like 'NO! It's DisneyWORLD!!!'

Oh, wow! I would have been on your side in a heart beat. I even just read a news article today about that. Steambaot Willie is only considered Mickey's birthday because that is when he really became famous...

That day, November 18, 1928, is widely considered the iconic mouse's official birthday. But months before, Walt Disney had dreamt up the cartoon character and featured it in the short animated film "Plane Crazy."

Yahoo news... gotta love it. Im excited because I get to do a current event project type thing in multimedia- im doing mine over Mickey's birthday! Whoo hoo! Much better than those pirates in the news ad stuff like that o_o Random, but true. Yeah... well Happy bday Mickey!

Thank you! Nobody else agreed with me...

I get annoyed by that.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

um.. is it really not? I thought that it was... or at least the first one that was released. He appeared in two other short cartoons first, didn't he? Plane Crazy and Gallopin' Gaucho?

Yup, and in that order.

No problem

Yes, it annoys me too. And I always to correct them.

It also bothers me when I hear people talking as they are walking around Disney...blurting out false facts about things. It takes everything I have to not walk over and be like "Ummm....actually...."

Silly people! Maybe if they went more often they wouldn't have this problem.

 

[KitKat_Tink]

Thankfully that doesn't happen to much over here...

People refer to them as Disney California and Disney Flordia which doesn't bother me in the slightest

Oh my gosh I absolutely HATE that! Although I have corrected people before, but only when they had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. One time somebody was looking at a map at the Magic Kingdom, trying to figure out where the Jungle Cruise was. It was really obvious that they didn't know what they were doing, so they finally asked a man who was passing them. He pointed them to FutureWorld, and offered to walk with them the rest of the way so that they didn't get lost again. At that point I just had to walk over and correct him and point the poor couple in the right direction.

Nope. It doesn't bother me at all, lol.
