The Disney Confessional

[Disney Doll]

I didn't think taking the soaps and shampoo is a sin. They put them there as part of the room that you pay for.

I've done the pool towel thing too...walked from the pool to my room with a towel around my waist. The next time I go to the pool, I just bring it back.

DING! DING! DING! We have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping my sin isn't a mortal sin...

 

[plutotek]

Personally, I don't find the delayed/pre-event celebration a sin. Disney knows that people will come at a time that is special to them, and that time may not coincide w/the actual event.

So, as the 473,228th runner-up to Pope Benedict, I absolve all your celebration sins.

During our stay I took all the shampoos and soaps home (thats was 2008 and I just used the last bar) They just kept replenishing even though we weren't using them, I had stacks of those soaps and huge collection of bottles sitting on the counter the whole week, they knew we weren't using them, it was like they were taunting me to take them

But by the far the absolute worst sin of all was letting my kids sit on the bus when there were adults standing

In 2004, I went to WDW with my sister, my BIL & their 2 girls--ages 1 & 5. They were going to be at Disney for the first 2 nights of the trip, then they were going to visit my BIL's family while I stayed at Disney, then the night before we left were coming back to WDW to sleep. So we decided to stay onsite & I made the reservation online. Of course, as soon as I added a third adult, the system added a room (we were planning to stay at a value). So we decided to leave 1 adult off. So I committed the sin of having an extra adult in a room.

Then in future trips, I have taken home the towel animals & put the shampoo, etc. in my luggage so they would leave me more. In my defense, I've never re-used a mug or pool hopped.

I still feel guilty for my sin. While we were at Disney World last Sept, there were a few times that we were not all together when it came time to get a fastpass. One morning my DD was sick and joined us later, one after noon DH got there late, so I didn't have their tickets. So, I lied to the CM and told them we lost one. I did this about three times, and they let us in each time with no problem, a party of 9 with 8 fastpasses.

I have gone during Free Dining before and I felt like I was stealing food.

So is there an order of magnitude for these sins? Like which ones are considered "mortal" and which ones "venial"?

Personally, I don't even think using pool towels in the room is a sin. If so, I will probably be sinning again!

And if Disney doesn't have a rule against it then how is it a sin just because DISers say it is?

 

[Planogirl]

Bubbles don't bother me unless they get blown in my eyes. That happened once and it can sting!

As for sins, I don't remember any but if I did the DIS is the last place where I would confess.

No. As in life, all sins are equal in their heinousness. Fear not though...I continue to forgive.

Absolution for all! Step up, step up!

But this is the only place that you will find those who have the power to forgive your DISins.

I am choosing to not confess my major sins on the DIS...but as a local, who is known to visit the food courts for dinner instead of hitting up the local Mc Donalds..YES I have used a refillable cup...and I continue to do so...I actually get comments on it...

I figure I am spending close to $30(yes, for 2 ppl to eat at All Star Movies), then heck yeah, I am using the refillable cup..LOL...Does that make me a bad person? Maybe on the DIS..but heck, I chose to eat there and give WDW my hard earned money for overpriced food...2 sodas is nothing in the grand scheme

As for my "other" sins....I have been known to park at Downtown Disney and then "hop" to the parks..... but I am not mentioning my last one....some people may frown upon me...

 

[PatsMom]

I too have sinned. When travelling with two teenage girls we told them to grab a couple of pool towels so they would have one for their hair. And I knew I could pay housekeeping to bring us extra towles - I just didn't want to pay.

I'm sure I have committed other sins but I can only admit to one shortcoming a day!

 

[Jennasis]

Can I get an Amen!

 

[Julylady]

Okay. Here goes.

1. I have stayed overnight at the Hyatt in the airport and taken ME the next morning after giving them a bogus flight number.

2. I, too, take pool towels in order to have extras in our DVC room. To compound this sin, I let the girls return to the room wrapped in a pool towel and then I LEAVE IT IN THE ROOM WHEN WE LEAVE!

3. This one is probably the worst, but I swear it was unintentional. Three years ago we stayed offsite in a rental home. Grandma was recovering from knee surgery and had a handicapped parking tag. We had a rental car and parked in handicapped parking spots at each park. Late one afternoon we returned to Hollywood Studios intending to stay for Fantasmic. After we were in the park my teenaged nephew asked me if I realized I had parked in the handicapped area even though Grandma had decided to stay behind at the rental home that evening.!!!! I swear I did it out of force of habit. Did we ever look guilty as we made our way back to the car after park closing!

Did I get absolved? Or do I have to smoke a cigar in Purgatory for a few months?

 

[DaisyD]

Hmm I have two sins.
The first is I finally took a set of my mugs back to Disney to reuse them. After probably 30 trips and 150 mugs, I just can't bring myself to buy another set. (Future confession-I'm taking them back again this month)

Second sin. Last October I couldn't get any dining reservations we wanted due to free dining. We ended up tired and hungry, and couldn't bear to eat yet another Casey hot dog, and my little one pleaded for Crystal Palace. I told the gang to stay where they were, didn't want them to see their own mother lie, and I walked over to the hostess and told her I had a reservation and gave her my name. Of course the poor girl couldn't find it. I didn't flip out or anything, gosh I wouldn't do that, but before I could say anything at all she handed me a pager and we got the eat at the CP.

Those are my two sins.

Just like real life religion..."man-made rules".


I always take a turbie twist for my hair. A bright colored one so I can see it among the motel's towels.

I once stayed with my parents (goodness the same trip when I took the purple napkin from Cinderella's dining hall! what a sinful trip that was from start to finish) at Pop Century without telling Disney. I didn't need a room key/ticket because I had an AP. I think at the time I would have cost $10.00 a night more. I forgot about that Disney sin but my mom reminds me of it every now and then.
I still am not telling my worst altho that one above is pretty doggone bad.

Ah ah ah...forgiveness, Jennasis. Only forgiveness.

You know, Brenda, I really think you'll feel sooooo much better if you just get it off of your chest and confess. Do it now while the Dis is slow because people are hitting the road for Labor Day getaways. The few of us who are here promise not to tell another soul. I think you really, deep down, want to confess.
