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

[DisneyFreq]

Heck, I still call the TTA the WEDway Peoplemover.

The best though is my oldest son, on his first trip to WDW at age 5 called E.P.C.O.T. -- Apricot.

Lol..for some reason, to this day, I call it the WEE-way-people-mover. Guess I always visualize small people being escorted around.

And though I refer to SE AS spaceship earth, I still have to say the "golf ball" so my less disneyfied family will know what I am talking about.

Once you get in the habit of calling something by a specific name you'll always call it that. MK will always be Disney to me and SSE will always be the golfball and Monsters Inc will always be, well let's not go there!

DHS will ALWAYS be MGM.

 

[Mrs.Toad]

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

Me too! It's a good name for it.

We also call Triceratops Spin "Dinosaur Dumbo".

I call some rides by old names or nicknames, like the Peoplemover, Autopia for the Tomorrowland Speedway, and "the Rockets" for Astro Orbitor.

Although I say MK for the park in Florida, and only use WDW to refer to the whole resort, I think some of the confusion may come from Disneyland in California. Although its official name is and always was Disneyland, "the Magic Kingdom" was a nickname long before WDW was even built, so I can see where people more familiar with DL might assume MK is "WDW" in Florida, too.

We have made up our own names

Everest is the Yeti Rollercoaster
Kali River Rapids is Kali River Rabbits
The TTA is the Blue Car Ride
Test Track is Fast Track to some

And my mother said today while I was talking to my sister, about Tom sawyer Island, Oh theres some GREAT Pinapple Drinks there (dole whip floats)
Im like mom thats aloha island..

 

[paintnolish]

Lake Buena Vista! I resist change! It is not Downtown Disney!
MGM is hard to shake also.
DD called TOT Terror of Tower so much that she got me saying it on accident.
I do still call TTA the People Mover (so sad it will be closed in June!).

 

[ntsammy5]

The TTA is the Blue Car Ride
..

I never heard that one before, but everyone would know what you mean!

 

[Shelton123]

Yeah, Disneyland is far superior and actually has some charm to it, since it was actually designed by Walt Disney.

I think they're even.

My Dad calls Living With the Land the Agricultural Exhibit.

 

[ltl engine]

My personal all time favorite--when my son was three his favorite ride was the Momma Rail, we have called it that ever since

 

[fairestoneofall]

For some reason, my sister calls it BLUE Thunder Mountain Railroad. I'm not sure why.

And I used to say the Wedway Peoplemover too. But my kids corrected me, so now I say TTA.

 

[buffettgirl]

My Dad calls Living With the Land the Agricultural Exhibit.

that just made me remember that my mom always calls it the "land of the living"

 

[buffettgirl]

and can I be forgiven if I still say "communicore east" and "communicore west"?

 

[jennyl772003]

We call Spaceship Earth 'the ball'

We call the ride in Mexico (see, I don't even remember the real name anymore) It's a Small Mexican World. I think I saw it on here and thought it was cute, so that's what we call it now.

It's kind of cute hearing the names some families have for the attractions! And how they got them!

 

[hogwartsdropout]

I heard someone call Spaceship Earth.. 'Mother Earth'

 

[dansamy]

The best she has come up with was sitting in the front row at FOTLK and LOUDLY singing her version of Akuna matata. "It's our problem free colonoscopy". The preformers actually started laughing in mid song.

I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face either.

 

[luvthemouse71]

Nope and thank goodness it isn't a ride. Can you imagine... I'm going to go ride the ......

There would be a disproportionate number of guys getting in line for that one!!

This one is resort oriented.

DD17 and I were on a bus to MK one morning and a family sitting across from us was discussing the Swan and Dolphin as we passed. They couldn't figure out what was on the top of the buildings. After much debate we heard "It looks like a swan and a great big bass. Why in the world would there be a swan and great big bass on the top of those hotels". All this said with a very thick southern twang which made it that much funnier to two Canadian girls.

We now refer to the Swan and Dolphin as the "Swan and Great Big Bass Resort".

[SunshineSneezy]

Oh my gosh! The Great Big Bass?? Though I have always wondered why they dont put a dolphin on the top, hence the name of the hotel But another that annoys me to no end is when people call RRC "Rock n' Roll Rollercoaster!" That just sounds so ridiculous saying "roll" twice.

 

[braddillman]

It's not a ride, but my DS5 called the Jedi training light sabers 'slashlights'. I think that's a BETTER name, IMHO.

My little guy refers to the haunted mansion as the "tea party ride" because he likes the scence where all the ghosts are dancing in the dining room. We told him they were having a tea party so he wouldn't get scared and now it's the tea party ride.

hahahahahahahah when i was five my parents told me the haunted mansion was called "Casper's Magic Castle" and i loved that ride! and then when i was 9 i was like "where's the casper ride?" and my parents were like " the casper ride is the haunted mansion, we just told you it was called casper to make you go on it!" hahahhahahahaa and up until 2007 I had no idea that the giant EPCOT ball had a ride in it! and I asked my parents about it and they were like "yes theres a ride in the big ball, and you've been on it when you were little its called Spaceship Earth!" hahahaha
