Pet Peeve..."The World"

[travlnman1]

OK..maybe it's just me but does it bug anyone else when Disney gets referenced as "the world"? ie: Where in the "world" will we be able to see Mickey Mouse? Only 23 more days until we go to the "world".
Ok..probably just irks me but....anyone else?

 

[MushyMushy]

Nope, doesn't bug me a bit.

It does kind of make me cringe just a little when people call it Disneyland, or refer to the Magic Kingdom as being WDW or Disneyland.

 

[TheDisneyTraveler06]

It doesn't bug me.

I just never refer to it as "The World." I always say "WDW" or something of the like.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Nope, doesn't bother me even though I don't do it.

I agree with Mushy's irks.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Never bothers me, as long as people don't mistake it for "The Land"

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Nope, doesn't bother me. But calling Cinderella "Cindy" makes my ears bleed.

 

[AprilShowers]

You probably really hate me then. I tell people we're going to visit "The Mouse"

 

[Evil Genius]

I'm one of those that uses I'm going to "The World." Sorry!!

 

[pearlieq]

Never bugged me at all.

The Cindy thing is a bit irksome, but the motherlode is, of course, the park misnomers. I have a friend who insists on calling MK "Disneyland". Drives me batty!

I've heard this one before too. "We are going to EPCOT on Monday, MGM on Tuesday, and spending the day in Disney World on Wednesday."

 

[Evil Queen]

I've been guilty of "The World" saying. Never really thought about it.

 

[monkeyboy]

yes it bugs me

The world is bigger and maybe not as expensive

That too!! That makes me cringe.

We went to DW with another couple when our kids were 2. She kept telling her daughter that Cinderella's Castle was "Minnie's House".
"Look! There's Minnies House!"

For some reason that doesn't bug me in the least!!!
Ain't nothing wrong with the Mouse!! I LOVE visiting the Mouse.

It's just "the world" that bugs me most.

I suppose that I'm not supposed to call Spaceship Earth the Big Golf ball...

What?? You mean...its...NOT A GOLF BALL????

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

no, I do it! ...but I like it.....

 

[Ready to go in Ok]

I say it all the time. I also say Cindy's breakfast. But I never say Cindy for Cinderella any other time.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

What?? You mean...its...NOT A GOLF BALL????

Phew, I'm off the hook! I don't want you all to be talking about me after my next trip.
