What is the funniest "not quite right" name for an attraction you have heard?

[WB1971]

I know there are tons of these, I always like hearing that someone is off to ride "The Mothership" at Epcot (presumably Spaceship Earth), or "Mount Everest" at Animal Kingdom. Anyone hear some doozies?

 

[harpinjean]

I know lots of people call Spaceship Earth the "ball" or the "big golf ball". I wonder how many people even know its name?

"Magic Mountain" for either the Magic Kingdom or Space Mountain. I'm not sure which one.

The acronym for Monster's Inc. Laugh Factory made me giggle a little.

I call Spaceship Earth the "ball" and I've been going for 15 years.

My sister called Splash Mountain, Splashy Mountain for the longest time. Of course, she was 4 so we just laughed at her.

I've heard "Fast Track." My biggest peeve is people calling Magic Kingdom "Disney World." I've heard so many, probably weekly, that it's hard to remember them all. I'm going to start writing them down.

Can't think of any off hand, but I might leave you with a doozie someday. Once every couple of trips I start saying silly stuff to my wife while we are walking around. Like... "did you know that the castle was actually part of a Spanish fort back the the 1700s."

I guess I've heard people call Mission Space "Mission to Mars"

The acronym for Monster's Inc. Laugh Factory made me giggle a little.

I had not thought of that!

My friend at work calls the Tower of Terror; Terror Tower which annoys me!

A little tyke who was on the monorail from MK to Epcot referred to SE as 'Mickey's Ball'. There was a lot of stifled laughter in the car.

My pet peeve is people that refer to WDW as Disneyland. BIG difference people!

 

[DVC_Princess]

That's too funny! I can't remember hearing any like that, but I have often heard people get on a Disney bus and ask "does this one go to universal?" The OCD planner in me is always a little sad... lol

 

[fairestoneofall]

My DS (age four) calls Spaceship Earth the Golf Ball. (And I know that there are people that truly call it this too.) What's funny is that he got all of us calling it that. I'm sure people thought we were nuts!

 

[mmcguire]

The classic is calling Magic Kingdom "Disney World".

I guess it's a throwback from Magic Kingdom really WAS the only thing.

 

[jbeanz2001]

My 4 yro son keeps telling everyone he's going back to "playhouse disney". That's what he has re-named Disney World!

 

[DexLabDeeDee]

My mom sometimes slips up and calls Expedition Everest "Blizzard Expedition". I have no idea why. It's not as if we've ever been to Blizzard Beach (still trying to get there!) We tease her unmercifully about it. Whenever she gets it right we ask her, "Don't you mean Blizzard Expedition?"

 

[Lynn5700]

HAHA I used to call Spaceship Earth the Big Golf Ball when I was little LOL!

Oooh and I also call EE the Yeti ride lol. I know it's Expedition Everest I just like calling it The yeti ride lol.

 

[DisneymoonJess07]

I plan on calling Spaceship Earth "The Golf Ball" forever

 

[tiggerunner]

Thanks for the smile and giggle

I know lots of people call Spaceship Earth the "ball" or the "big golf ball". I wonder how many people even know its name?

I know it's "Spaceship Earth", but I more commonly refer to it as "the giant golf ball" (DS4 has picked up on that as well; he also, I think, conflated "fastpass" and "Test Track" as "Fast Track".)

 

[Danauk]

My pet peave at the moment at home (I live in England) is that every morning on the local radio station there is an advert for a trip to Walt Disney World Paris, now people still calling the place Euro Disney, whilst it annoys me a lot I can kind of understand as it used to be called that. But Walt Disney World Paris???

HAHA I used to call Spaceship Earth the Big Golf Ball when I was little LOL!

Oooh and I also call EE the Yeti ride lol. I know it's Expedition Everest I just like calling it The yeti ride lol.

Haha, my family calls it the Yeti ride too!
