What is your Disney shameful secret?

[DisneyDreamer2504]

I just don't get Duffy the Disney Bear.

Omg me either! Isn't Mickey a mascot enough!?

 

[PoohLover78]

I just don't get Duffy the Disney Bear.

Who's Duffy?

 

[Frankiemack]

OK, I'll bite...

I extremely dislike the Epcot countries and think they are a waste of time and space outside of the restaurants.

I just don't get Duffy the Disney Bear.

Same here, I just don't get it? Where did this thing come from and how in the world is it associated with Disney?

 

[Stacy's a freak]

i am nearing my trip in november and already deciding if i need to buy anything. i work in nyc at a fashion company, and am secretly thrilled at the thought of spending an entire week in sneakers and using one practical, cheap handbag. since it will be cooler i might bring some nicer tops (and by nicer i mean polos).

i tell people things like oh i have stained shorts on rides (true, ruined a white pair that way when some black grease somehow smudged) to justify not wearing nice clothes, or my ankles need more support in the parks (again true) but really i do want to spend a week in average clothes.

Woohoo! Everyone deserves a comfy break

Shameful secret of the day, I am secretly happy that this thread is still going after I started it more than 5 years ago!!

Second shameful secret, I STILL haven't seen Dumbo. I tried once recently - on Netflix streaming - but I fell asleep. Is it any good?!

I love this thread!!

And Dumbo is great, as I recall; it's very sad and I'm a weeper so I haven't seen it in years!

1. I've never had a Dole Whip.
2. I've been to the Studios twice but due to touring issues I've not been on ROR or TOT yet!!
3. I tear up at Wishes and illuminations...every time.
4. I want to go to WDW alone but I think that would hurt my husband's feelings.
5. I could spend the entire trip just meeting characters!!

By the way, Dumbo is a wonderful movie, and it makes me cry.

 

[BudgieMama]

I only just saw Lilo and Stitch, and wept through a huge chunk of it (so wasn't expecting that)... and Bambi is the reason I've been terrified for fire since I was a kid!

Who's Duffy?

Exactly! Disney has hundreds of characters...why on earth do they need one more bear? I don't get it. I have no frame of reference as I'm not aware he's in any cartoons or actually does anything special. A friend of mine (big Disney fan) says Duffy is very big in Japan. Go figure.

P.S. And my semi-scornful attitude toward Duffy is a secret I'm not ashamed of! (But if you like him, that's ok...not that you need my permission! I just don't have the fond memories of him that I do of the many, many other characters.)

Completely agree with you all about Duffy! He's cute and all (especially those Mickey-head shaped pads on his paws) but you can't just create a character out of thin air. All of the other characters had to pay their dues by being in a movie but not Duffy. Since he's Mickey's teddy bear, I guess he's simply entitled to be there?! That's pure nepotism! Unacceptable

 

[Prisstina]

1. Stitch creeps me out.

2. I don't like Cars, and can't understand why there's an entire section of DLR dedicated to it.

 

[Princess_taffy05]

Duffy was made for Mickey by Minnie so he wouldn't be lonely when they were apart (fiancé had to look this up last time we were in Disney as we felt Duffy served no purpose). I guess it's kinda cute...kinda?

Dumbo isn't as sad as Bambi. I love them both regardless. Flower used to be my favorite character (besides Pluto).

Cars is my least favorite Pixar.
Another dirty secret- I haven't seen any of the Pixars from ratatouille on down! I haven't seen Tangled yet either.

 

[BudgieMama]

I haven't seen Tangled yet either.

Ditto!

They're playing a Duffy bedtime story on the resort TV explaining Duffy. I told my dh it's just a Duffy commercial.

If you think about it, Pooh isn't exactly a teddy bear. He's a bear, sure. But Duffy is gender neutral. He has multiple outfits. (Think Build-A-Bear or American Girl dolls.) He's expressly a teddy bear. He corners that little slice of "comfort object" quite handily. My 13 year old dd threw a fit & refused to go to sleep Tuesday night because we left her (handmade by her aunt) teddy bear in the car.

 

[MagicalMelissa]

The first one that comes to mind for me is: I don't like Dole Whips! After hearing for years about them for so many different people, I actually stood on a line to get one this year. I was so disappointed! :-(

 

[MrsZ]

I kind of love this thread.... here are some of mine...

1.) Tangled wasn't anything special to me... maybe I just dont get it... I mean it was good but not my favorite
2.) I've never been on cinderella's merry go round.
3.) I've never seen fantasmic
4.) I go to HS but it really doesn't do much or me. It's a half day park if that.
5.) I know some people don't get Duffy but ever since I've seen these cute bears I secretly want one very badly! lol
6.) I'm the only 27 year old I know who has no problem wearing Disney T-shirts out in public on normal days. My DH thinks i'm crazy.

I'm 29 and I do the same thing!! DBF also thinks I'm crazy.

I'm almost 40 and I do also!! I don't care what people think. Most people know I LOVe Disney so they know it's just part of who I am.

It's hilarious, I have so many mickey and Minnie T-Shirts. DH knows saying anything gets him no where so now when I put them on he just rolls hi eyes and excepts it

I'm almost 40 and I do also!! I don't care what people think. Most people know I LOVe Disney so they know it's just part of who I am.

I don't care what people think I just think its funny to see the looks I get! I especially love it when a little one says "MICKEY!" and points at me. Yes little one, I love Mickey too!
