The Disney Confessional

[tuckerkeys]

I've done laundry in the WL villas and was staying at the WL.....Whenever I went to do laundry at the lodge everything was taken & there were people waiting. I hoofed it on over to the wlv to an empty laundry area & did it there...

I think you'll be forgiven--since you're from LBI.

Forgive me Disboard readers for I have sinned...

My friend and I rode HM 8 times in a row for the sole reason that we could look at the extremely good looking CM at the end of the ride who was also wearing really nice cologne that day...

I'll at a CM if I think he's cute. (Won't say anything; I'm not that brave.)

My mother and I give looks to each other at Blizzard Beach when we see guys wearing thongs who REALLY should not be wearing them.

And some on my dad: He likes to scream really loud (think 'Goofy scream') in the 'Stretching Room' in HM and in the cave on Tom Sawyer Island to see if he can scare anyone. (And yes, he has. And yes, I laughed.)

When we make him go on Splash Mountain by himself cause we don't feel like riding, he'll sit in the back row and either make a stupid face or put his long arms up and scream so that the people riding the ride with him HAVE to buy the on-ride photo so they tell their friends back home about 'that guy.'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I'm singing the Mickey Mouse Club anthem 10 times right now for forgiveness while my mom questions my sanity.

I promise to also wear my Winnie-the-Pooh hat on my next trip so that all the CM's can say their "Hey! You've got Pooh on your hat!" joke and will intentionally take off my hat and look every time to make them laugh.

My only sin was telling a table full of DIS moderators at a restaurant in Epcot that this was my LAST trip to Disney.

The looks around the table:

Way back in 1996 we used my mil and fil's tickets from a prior visit that still had a day on it. And when we stayed at AKL, I made a salad out of the fixings bar at the counter serve restaurant.

Now I call that creativity!

My sin: Sitting on a bench at Disneyland near the hub (TONS of foot traffic) and "People watching" or as I call it, FASHION POLICE! I still laugh my bee hind off at the Mustard Packet girl (mustard yellow long sleeve sweater dress, matching mustard yellow tights, white leatherish clunky high heal shoes)

 

[Angelrose]

Forgive me DISers for I have sinned a great sin.

My DH used to go every year in December. Our anniversary is in July. Now who feels like celebrating anything in July?? So we would celebrate our anniversary at DW. Yes we did get a free dessert. We had been married 42 years so we didn't mind a free dessert. Now he's gone and I just have those fun memories. How we did love going to DW. It was so romantic, just the two of us, riding the kiddie rides, walking through the countries in Epcot, seeing the Christmas lights at MGM. It was worth the sin, believe me.

I took pictures during the Pooh ride.

I have waited for the bus to pull up before I folded down a stroller.

DH makes salads from the fixin's bar at Pecos Bill's.

I love this thread...and I have sinned. One trip to WDW quite a few years back we stayed at OKW for 2 weeks, with lots of pool and room time...... bought 1 refillable mug,and all 4 of us used it nonstop for 2 weeks. I love that mug...still have it!aaahhh...afternoons by the pool,sharing a mug of cold coke

 

[hsmamato2]

oh wait, I have more to confess...last month at DL I told a lady who was trying to mow throuh the crowd with her ECV to slow herself down-that went over well
and once,when a rude person decided to shove in front of me and the kids at a night parade,just pushed in between us and the rope-blocking my view I gave her a long running commentary in my most annoying voice for her video she was recording. I'm sure when she got home, she was pleased with her view.....but oh,the soundtrack! later on my mom said she wondered why I didn't stop talking the whole parade....just things that weren't harmful,but would annoy a stranger like 'oh, nice dress! There's a light out there! Where's Mickey? Has Mickey come by yet?Mermaid! I LOVE Ariel!' etc etc.

 

[MamaJessie]

My Disney sin is too bad to confess on the DIS today. God forgives. Dissers do not.

Disney sins:

-- I have taken a pool towel to my room to use as an extra towel (to wrap my hair in) for my stay..

I didn't know you shouldn't. Is that a Disney sin or a DIS sin?

I no longer feel any more guilt over all the *bad* stuff I have done. After I read that people book multiple ADRs for meals on the same day because they just don't know what they'll want to eat or where they'll want to be (etc.), well, all my guilt flew out the window.

I'm leaving Friday for WDW and will be committing my biggest Disney sin if I get the chance. No photos, please.

Curiouser and curiouser... No really, I'm curious..

Forgive me DISers for I have sinned a great sin.

Disney sin - I reused a mug before I realized I wasn't supposed to. Don't feel bad about it but at least now I understand why we got the stink eye from some people.

I'm sitting here, laughing like an idiot. That is hysterical about the video. I will tell you about the ECV, though. If you leave a space in front of you in a crowd, people dodge in, just like when you leave 5 car spaces for going 50 mph on the freeway. You know it's the right thing to do, but if everyone else is going to be an , it's hard not to speed up. Maybe even nip a heel once in a while

I've done something similar during a parade. Our family always gets to the curb early and waits and this one time (like many others) some family decides to come along at the very last minute and try to push in. They were so rude when we said something to them. They weren't in front of us, but they tried and the lady was right on top of me trying to film. I did the talking thing while constantly throwing my arm up between her camera and the view: "oh, look at that!!", "Oh look,who is up there!", and waving at every character...and on and on. I'll bet they were sorry they messed with us that night!!!

one time we parked at Poly to have breakfast and left the car there for the day to take the monorail. That's all I can think of.

Well ok I have a confession to make. On our trip last year DGF and I were walking back into the main building of the Grand Floridian from Narcoosee's. We were walking behind a family whose kids were kind of in front of us. A CM I think she worked for DVC came up to us and asked the kids wanted some character stickers. I assume she thought they were our kids so we said sure We kept the stickers for ourselves One of them had Stitch on it and I wanted it! I'm glad I got that off my chest

 

[MoonFaerie]

When we go in Dec, I'm celebrating my birthday a couple of days early, and we're celebrating our anniversary a few weeks early. I don't feel the slightest bit guilty about it. We had to plan our trip a) when I'm on break from school, b) when DH could get the time off from work, and c) when my mom and mil were able to keep the kids.

My other Disney confession - I don't understand the Toy Story Mania hype at all.

 

[MinnieLovesMickey]

I let DH raid the mousekeeping carts at WL and then use those items for stocking stuffers.

I had a similar problem. My mom and I had waited a long time to get a good position for the parade. It was important to us because my daughter's High School Band was marching that day. Anyway, there was no room for anybody else to be there, but that didn't stop this woman and her young daughter from crowding in next to me. She was so close to me I couldn't move without bumping into her! I asked her nicely to please move and that we had been waiting there for two hours to get a good spot. She played the "I don't speak English" stunt. So I played the "Oppps, I'm a klutz" stunt as she was trying to video tape the parade. I would pretend to take pictures and in the process of raising my camera upwards, I would knock into her arm, completely spoiling her video. Then I would apologize over and over so the audio part of her recording would be messed up too. The thing is, if she was so freaking close that I couldn't take a picture without bumping into her, she was TOO CLOSE. She finally left in a huff. And guess what? I heard her speak to the people behind her in perfect English as she excused her way past everybody. Parades really seem to bring out the nerve in people. I really hate it when I get a great spot and somebody crowds in front of me or ridiculously close to me. I have never, ever done that to anybody. Who teaches these people that it's ok to do that? But anyway, I should have taken the high road, but I was a jerk and ruined her video. I sinned.

 

[Mr.MouseFan]

When asked by a fellow park goer at Disneyland how old she was, my God-daughter replied: "I'm three, but at Disneyland, I'm two."

I promise, I had no involvement in that, but I thought I'd share..lol.
