What is your Disney shameful secret?

[Dudester]

The first time I visited Disney (1969) as just a wee sprout, we took the Pirates of the Carribean ride. I ended up alone in the back of the boat.

We were approaching a bridge. There was an animatronic pirate with a gun. I did the math in my head and I realized that he would fire as I passed under the bridge. My mother said the look on my face was absolute mortal fear as the gun went off-aimed at my head.

The lime green mickey heads are paint samples from Home Depot.

They are lime green and in the shape of Mickey's head profile.

You get two and paste them together, punch a hole in it and put on your Disers name, then laminate it with clear packing tape in case of rain/wet attractions, like Splash Mountain. Put it on a key chain and hang it off your backpack, etc.

Then wait for people to tap you on the shoulder and recognize you.

You can also post one on your door with a magnetized sign-up board and people will leave messages for you.

Thanks Missytara! Unfortunately I read this too late to try for my last trip, but I'm going to to do it next time and see if I get any taps.

I have 2 of the heads to laminate and pin onto my waistpack (I may pin them on my hat so they're easier to see) but I like the idea of the magnetic message board!! I'll be at the Pop Century from Sept 2-9th. Come look for me!!!! Leave me a message too!

Wow I just spent almost 2 hours ready this thread and didn't make it through everything.

ok here goes:
*I hate strollers ....
*Love EPCOT especially drinking around the world, although I have never accomplished it
*Never been to the Boardwalk area, hoping to make it next trip
*Always stay at the Wilderness Lodge
*Next trip will be visiting Universal so that we can see Harry Potter world
*Will be visiting the world in August with the family and we are going because I want to go My DS 9 says he doesn't want to meet any of the characters, I told him we will be meeting characters because i want to meet the characters

YES!!! Good call! I love the character and movie, and I wish they made movies like that now. Sadly, the industry is about getting movies out fast and getting the next one in production ASAP. It's more quantity than quality, I think. Oh well, at least we have DVD!

Not sure I know what the lime green head tags are...but I'll keep my eye out since I will be there very soon!

Hi Elwood P.Dowd, when are you going to the world? (We will be there beginning July 26th) And did you get any of the lime green Mickey heads yet?

 

[Birdman1511]

Hi every1. checking in!

 

[MKCP1984]

OOps! Silly me... Just reading the rest of the thread and it seems like you've been to the world already.

Bribed DS to go on Pirates of the Carribean ride with me, its really bad cause he was scared to go on it. He's okay now though LOL

Few years back, when me and DH went alone we were in line to meet Pooh and Tigger and I refused to get in the pic with DH cause I didn't know who Darby was. I had to google her when we got home. So thats the only character pic from our trip where DH is alone with the characters LOL.

I was irritated when we were there in January and you could only meet Ariel with her legs, since her grotto is closed. I wanted my mermaid pic!

Never had a dole whip, tonga toast, mickey ice cream or any of the other popular foods I hear about.

I hate all the rides, cause I get to scared and have a weak stomach.

Love that my sons loves the princesses haha so he chose the CRT character meal over many others.

My shameful secret?

I thought Universal Studios was just as much fun as Walt Disney World.

 

[Edeyore]

I really DESPISE Stitch.

I really LIKE Stitch. (the character, not the ride.)

 

[Edeyore]

I'll go on Thundermountain railroad... only if I'm in the mood.... and I've really have been wanting to try Primeval Whirl at AK, but you couldn't PAY me to go on EE or RnR!

I had never gone on a roller coaster with an inversion, just the sight of them put me off, but I have ridden RnR and it is great. Give a try, you will enjoy it.

I am EXTREMELY disturbed by the turkey legs.

I am EXTREMELY disturbed by the turkey legs.

Never tried them, but I have to try them this November just to see what all the fuss is about.

 

[Simba22]

Hey everyone! Just joining in ...

- I never got to go on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, but I wear a t-shirt for it all the time lol

- I really don't like Dole Whip floats

- I actually really don't mind Stitch's Great Escape

 

[HMin]

Wasn't impressed with Hollywood Studios the first time I saw it last year - but then I'm not a big movie/TV fan other than cooking shows. Still...should give it another try sometime.

Have never been to AK

Tried my first Dole Whip in May and did not like it at all!!

At what since became known as our 'infamous' family reunion in the late 80s, my one SIL, her two kids, myself and my step-daughter left the rest of the family at MK after repeatedly telling them we were tired and wanted to go back to the motel. (In all fairness they had their own car and it's not our fault they didn't believe us-looking for us for over an hour before thinking to go to the parking lot and seeing my car gone). Besides, they got even when they woke us up to complain when they arrived back at the motel.

Lastly, during my May visit, if I had seen that paintbrush on the island at the same time as that little boy....well, let's just say he would've been pouting or crying instead of whooping with joy.

 

[HMin]

...oh, and in my May 2010 visit when I discovered Earl of Sandwich for the first time, I purchased 6 sandwiches over a 4 day period (actually, over 3-1/2 days).

I hate, loath, detest IASM

[Madisonsmom45]

We have never done a rope drop. We like to close down the parks and then sleep in.

 

[nblake05]

Other than ToT, RR and Toy Story Mania I find HS kinda boring. I've also, never been to Tom Sawyer's Island.
OH! And... Ellen's Energy Adventure actually makes me frusterated because it is such a complete waste of time!
