What is your Disney shameful secret?

[dreamscometrue2]

Oh yeah one more shameful secret...

I like rollercoasters, but I am petrified of Summit Plummit won't go down it. My parents, who are both almost 60, love it and have both done it multiple times! Shhhh... I won't admit this to anyone I know!

3.) We have planned a family vacation to NY and DC in lieu of our Disney World trip for this summer. When we get back, if dh has a new teaching job, I plan to start convincing him to let me take the boys by myself to disney. "Look honey, I already have the trip paid for, I'm sorry you can't go, but it will be good for me to have some bonding time with the boys."

That's horrible. I would be so entirely pissed off if my wife took the kids and left me home because I couldn't get off work.

You have to understand, my dh HATES to travel and just doesn't "get" Disney. He said he had a good time last year and the time he and I went together in 97 but he doesn't see the appeal or why I feel this need to keep returning. He wouldn't care about not going, just about the money, see?

Sometimes I feel like the only one that thinks that pin trading is stupid and a HUGE waste of money...wow that felt good.

Oh, and I get really bored with the animatronic rides (small world, great movie ride etc, etc, etc)

Everyday at my desk job I have one headphone in and am listening to WDW podcasts and music.

Its not so much shameful, but it is my disney secret for why I am smiling at the photocopier (or in some cases why I randomly tear up with happy tears for no reason at all).

My shameful secret? I didn't cry at Bambi

Some dude tried to pick you up? For some reason that seems a bit odd in Disney.

hmmmm - maybe that should be my next weird thread "who has been picked up at WDW?"

A couple of years ago I was sitting outside Pizza Planet waiting for DH and my sons -- I think they went to the potty -- and a man sat down at the little table I was sitting at and started chatting. He was there by himself, he enjoyed touring the parks by himself, but he'd love to do some of the attractions with someone. Hmmmm. I was probably a little over 40, and a little over -- well, not Pooh-sized, but not Tinkerbell, either -- and he seemed a little put out when the family arrived! OMG.

as many roller coasters that i have rode (a ton) and i LOVE coasters! soarin scares the daylights outta me and gives me panic attacks lol. i ran off that ride! the little kid next to me (about 6 years old) was saying look how pretty. and i was thinking OMG please let this be over soon. hahahahahaha

 

[tarantim]

i can't take winnie the pooh or any of his friends.
pooh is a chronic overeater, and basically a bumbling idiot.
pigglet is a lame little wimp of a pig.
eyore makes debbie downer look like pollyanna.
tigger, can you say adhd?
rabbit has ocd.
owl is a know it all with nacalepsy (i'm sure i spelled that wrong!)

they make me crazy, but i'll be in line may 6th, for my baby!

 

[labaity]

I have never liked animal kingdom, it doesn't seem like disney somehow

 

[SassyTink213]

I loathe and I mean loath It's a Small World Ride and refuse to ever go on it again. I secretly wish they would replace it with something, anything else-even bathrooms! I just hate that ride with passion (probably has to do with a tramatic 30 min entrapment on it while it continously looped the song and then being yelled at after getting off by my band director for being late to the meeting point-but i got stuck on it)

 

[DisneyInDel]

Never had a turkey leg

Stitch creeps me out

I STILL feel like I'm gonna hit my head evey time I ride Space Mountain

 

[black562]

When I ride the Living with the Land boat ride, when it first starts out. I still sing "Let's listen to the land we all love, nature's plan will shine above, listen to the land, listen to the land."

Ok, here goes...

1). Nemo-The Musical was... well, creepy. I wanted to leave but didn't have the heart to get up in the middle of the performance. The Nemo ride in Epcot is awful, too.

2). Saw Beauty & the Beast for the first time in January... loved it That show was Broadway (or at least off-Broadway) quality.

3). I miss the Stars & Motorcars Parade... in fact, that is the only parade I've seen at WDW since I was a kid.

4). Not a fan of the Disney movies, old or new.

5). Could spend all day, every day, in Epcot. Love the World Showcase and people watching while enjoying a couple drinks.

6). I plan my evenings around Illuminations... even if I'm at another park at night, I try to get to Epcot before 9pm so I can see the show every night.

7). Soarin' makes me sick (motion sickness, I guess, but only on rides).

8). Never had my pic taken with a character, but I LOVE MICKEY! This is on my to-do list this trip.

9). Going to skip MK this trip and focus on AK, DHS and EPCOT (of course).

Thank, OP, for the great thread! I really enjoyed reading it...

thats funny!! I worked at Living with the Land a few years ago "just for fun" after I had graduated college

I always have at least one Disney CD playing in my car at all times! I think my whole family thinks I am crazy. I started playing the Disney music a few years ago to get into the mood for our next Disney trip. I think I have had a Disney cd in the car ever since then.

With the way the economy is affecting everyone--I just think it is a great escape for just a few moments in time.

1.) Never have I ridden the Mad Tea Party for fear of getting sick.

2.) I get extremely upset if I see cast members being yelled at by angry guests.

3.) I absolutely cannot handle aggressive people with strollers. Disney belongs to all of us...not just you and your three year old.

4.) When I see families who've obviously acquired a wheelchair for the purpose of getting ahead in long lines (you've seen them...they find a non-crowded place and SWITCH OUT), I have a deep desire to rat them out.

5.) Wishes? I cry EVERY TIME. ^_^

This thread is awesome

Ok, here goes:

I spend waaaaayyyyy too much time planning for my next Dis trip.

I've lost count of how many times I've been to WDW and DL.

I'm going on another trip in Aug and I'm afraid to tell my friends(except the ones I'm going with) They just don't get it.

Oh and I'm going without my hubby for 9 days.
I'll really miss him but he just doesn't feel the Disneed.

Oh and, Stitch, really? Who came up with that idea.

"Just make believe, you're a tiny little seed. A tiny little seed that's reaching up to meet your need. With the right abount of faith, and the right amount of earth, you'll grow to see the sunshine on your day of birth. Let's listen to the land......."

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I'm not a fan of the characters in costume, they kinda freak me out, like a lot. I will run away from them if they come near me. Needless to say, I HATED character breakfasts when I was younger.

Sometimes I really wish there was an age limit - like 18 (or 21!), imagine the parks with NO kids

I haven't been in so long (9 years), I've forgotten a few things, but hopefully that will mean the old things feel like new to me

Leading up to a trip (like now) I sometimes can't sleep because I start thinking about it too much and I get so excited, I go over my plans again and again in my head. Usually the night before I can't sleep at all.
