A few weeks ago, my daughter and I were talking about possibly going back to Disney for Fall Break next year. She was telling me that she remembered being so upset when she was 6 that she wasn't tall enough to ride the "Medieval Time Warp" ride at AK. After a while, I realized she was talking about 'Primeval Whirl", LOL. So, now we've been calling it "Medieval Time Warp" and cracking up ever since. Just made me wonder if other families have silly names for attractions that were a mistake from a child or other family member that have sort of become inside jokes. Those are the silly things that make trips fun sometimes.
 
We call Primeval Whirl-Primevil Hurl. LOL

Other than that, when my son was 5 we were in line for Goofy's Barnstormer and he kept begging to go back and ride "Happy Land." I couldn't figure out what he was talking about until he said, "You know...the one with all the singing dolls." LOL. We got out of line and went straight back to Small World. Now we call it Happy Land (and he is 17 and if you ask him would say he hates it, but he never complains when we ride it, either.)

We call it Primeval Hurl, too!!!

When my DS was really little, he referred to Gran Fiesta Tour as "Donald's Boat Ride" and Spaceship Earth as "the big ball ride" and, so, to this day, that's what we call them!
 

We don’t have a ride one but my little guy he’s 4 calls buzz “space bob” I’ve literally yelled at everyone not to correct him bc I absolutely love it

My granddaughter (3) calls the Hoop Dee Do the funny chicken show - took us a bit to figure out where we saw a funny chicken.
 
My husband calls Small World the ‘Dancing Dollies’ ride
 
When my son was three he begged every day to go to Dinny Wood. We still call it Dinny Wood.
 
My Dad has several nicknames especially for the coaster

The One with the Train in it - Big thunder Mountain
The one with the dip at the end- Splash Mountain

That Space Mountain- Space Mountain. He remembers the one that he doesn't like
