Just heard on the Today Show... Disneyworld is in California

[mrzrich]

See, I just circumvent all that by just calling it "The Studios". Everyone seems to know what I'm talking about...

Sayhello

Right UNIVERSAL Studios! Right?

 

[carrie1626]

didn't see the show, but maybe they meant "last time he was HERE" referring to America they went to WDW. No mistake there

It' still and always will be MGM to me.

And I know that they changed the name to the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, but it will always be the WEDWay People Mover to me.

And I remember the first time I stayed at Dixie Landings.

Absolutely! I have a difficult time bringing myself to say "Disney's Hollywood Studios" because it will always be Disney-MGM Studios to me. So I use the shortcut "Studios", too.

My favorite is when people want to know about O'Hanas. Ok genius, please tell me exactly how an Irish eatery would fit with the theme of the Polynesian resort?!?!?!

I see a lot of people asking about "the dinning plan" and want to know our favorite "desert". Gotta just let it go...breathe...exhale...

tourist: where does this bus go? driver: Magic Kingdom. tourist: as he hops on.......oh good, could you drop me off at Epcot...................oh yes i was there.............he got educated and back down to the platform..........and i cant count how many times i have heard people missing ADR's because they were on a bus going to the wrong destination, sometimes they get a bit frantic.

Eh, we've all been n00bs at some point.

When DH surprised me with our very first trip and said "We're going to Disneyworld!" I remember asking "The one in FL or CA?"

Now look at me......

Forgive them, they know not what they do.

And for some reason, I can totally see William and Kate at WDW. A picture of them with Cinderella would be awesome.

Another thing that drives me bonkers is when people refer to the Magic Kingdom at WDW at "Disney"

For example:

Me: Oh you are going to Disney World for your vacation? What are your plans?

Them: Well, the first day we are going to Epcot, and then we are going to do the next day at Disney.

One of the little boys I work with said that. He came back from the school holidays and I asked him where he had been. 'I've been to Disneyland' 'In Paris?' 'No in Florida!'

Then I looked at his holiday photos. 'Oh look, you're at Epcot', 'No i'm not, I'm at Disneyworld!'

Bless his heart, he was only 5!

Oh I agree. We all had to learn the correct Disney terminology at one point in our lives.

Whenever I hear a friend misspeak something about Disney, I just hug that person and tell that person that they are not Disney educated and that person will learn. But then I look like a genius because I am "Disney educated" and know all the correct terminology.

But it is rather sad that a news organization can't get their facts straight. Don't they have fact checkers....
