What is your Disney shameful secret?

[Candlz]

I don't like the Dumbo ride. It reminds me to much of a fair attraction.

Our first trip to WDW in 1978 - was 6 and my big brother was 12. I wanted to ride Dumbo so badly. My parents made DB ride with me and he didn't want to. So there we are riding Dumbo - me as happy as can be and my 12 year old brother next to me bawling his eyes out. I think of that EVERY time I walk by it

My shameful secret - I won't stay onsite anymore unless it is a HUGE discount. I can stay offsite, get free wifi, have a bigger room, get free breakfast and a fridge for half the cost... I love Disney - but I can't justify the cost and lack of amenities to hubby any more...

I also envy peoples tickers - which is silly bc I LIVE here and can go whenever I want and don't need a ticker!

ALSO

I am addicted to reading other peoples trip reports and often wish I could vacation with them! LOL

 

[Chicago Mo]

I have never been. Gosh joining this site makes me what i've been missing. Life with Disney in it!!

are you planning a trip?
Here is soe pixi dust for you

 

[DisneyFairytale]

We have always wanted to, but have never stayed at a Disneyland hotel. Always stayed off site, because of the cost.

I don't even make it to the first wave of Photopass Photographers before I break down and cry (with happiness). My son gets so embarrassed.

I love a good touring plan, but for some reason, I feel the need to ride HM as my very first ride of a trip, and the last.

The only thing I want to do at HS is ride RnR. Again and again and again. The rest of it doesn't interest me at all.

I've never had a Dole Whip, but plan to remedy that next trip as it's our first time at the Polynesian!

 

[DrDoofenshmirtz]

Buckle up, folks...this could get bumpy!

1) Dole Whips. For those of you who don't like dole whips, I say...GOOD! They're mine! Stay away! Those of you haven't tried yet...you can have one. But, if you want more, you have to buy them from me after I perfect my Dolewhippinator...and take over the tri-state area!

2) Adults only. I support the idea of adults only days, but to be fair, we should also have kids only days. Sure, it'll probably turn out like "Lord of the Flies", but you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, am I right, folks?

3) I love those of you who still refer to DHS as MGM and the TTA as the Wed-way peoplemover. I've been going to WDW since 1976, so I can relate...but, you just don't go far enough. From here on, I vow to...

a) Refer to POR as "Dixie Landings"

b) Refer to MS as Horizons

c) Refer to Buzz Lightyear as Delta Dreamflight

d) Refer to AK as "that large grove of orange trees".

4) I have "accidentally" knocked over kids on wheelies. Not at WDW (yet...), but at local malls and such. I'm a big guy, with broad shoulders, and look a little...unstable. I usually follow this maneuver by loudly announcing "Whoopsie! Gotta be more careful, kiddo!"

5) When I ride BTMRR, I sing "Ghost Riders in the Sky" quietly to myself.

6) When I ride IASW, I sing along. Loudly. And off-key. I've gotten some dirty looks, but I've been to Yankee Stadium in full Red Sox regalia. There's nothing that's gonna be said to me at WDW that'll raise my eyebrows.

7) I don't judge anyone else in the park. Not CM's or fellow guests. I have no idea what they're going through. Sure, that meltdown might be caused by being hot, tired or overwhelmed...or maybe they've just lost their job. Or a loved one. I don't own WDW. I don't get to tell people they have to be happy every moment they're here.

8) Those WDW Turkey Legs? They're made from people.

9) I haven't had a vacation in 10 years, but back then I realized that Universal had greatly narrowed the gap to WDW. Now, 10 years later, I'm more excited about the Universal part of my December trip than the WDW portion.

10) I like to tell my friends' kids that I'm the guy who shot Bambi's mother.

 

[DisMomme]

My secret? I'm pretty sure DH & I enjoy Disney more than the kids, we just use them as our excuse. DH & I are making our first trip sans kids next month.

my husband and i are the same way and if you're anything like us you are gonna love it!!! it's a totally different experience going honeymoon style rather than as mom and dad. have a FANTASTIC time!

 

[ILoveDisney&Cruising]

When I go to WDW in the Summertime, I can't wait to go into the Hall of President's merely for the fact that its a nice, cool, dark place where I usually rest my feet and take a nap

Why, that's what the Carousel of Napping ... er, uh ... Carousel of Progress is for!

We dubbed it that years ago, when our kids were small. It was a nice, quiet, dark, a/c place where the kids would sit, engrossed in the show, while we had a much needed 20 minute nap!

(I don't think you have to wait quite as long for the next show to start, as you do for Presidents, either. 5 minutes until the next showtime and we're enjoying zzzzzland!)

 

[ILoveDisney&Cruising]

hmm my secret: In the 70s, before it was fashionable and accepted, I would go to Disneyland alone. I'd walk around and sit around. The day would fly by and turn to night and the parade would emerge and return to from where it came, and I'd start going home. And I never talked to anyone all day, had the time of my life, and never went on a ride.

However, don't get me wrong, there were many times when I went with family or friends and went on all the rides! I just also like doing things alone.

Sounds HEAVENLY!!

I would SO do this if I lived closer!

 

[lewiswharf]

Never tried a turkey leg, but will come January!

 

[Mindy5767]

Never tried a turkey leg, but will come January!

the turkey legs gross me out... so I've never had one... and speaking of being grossed out.... I think the tie-dye cheesecake at Pop Century looks icky... so none for me!

 

[DisneyFairytale]

You know what, I've never done that either...

 

[stitches of laughter]

the turkey legs gross me out... so I've never had one... and speaking of being grossed out.... I think the tie-dye cheesecake at Pop Century looks icky... so none for me!

me too!!! i saw a picture of it, it's not all cheesecake! it's red velvet cake within the tie-dead.

ugh. so many other things to get for my credits. yum!

 

[Feckless]

Buckle up, folks...this could get bumpy!


8) Those WDW Turkey Legs? They're made from people.

You have to say that in your best overacting Charlton Heston voice!!!

 

[DisneyFairytale]

I used to really say bad things about the Tarzan Tree. I thought it was quite boring, and wasting space....until I actually did it a second time, and now LOVE it. The soundtrack they play really gets to me and I get shoked up

 

[DrDoofenshmirtz]

You have to say that in your best overacting Charlton Heston voice!!!

Precisely what I was going for! Soylent turkey!

10) I like to tell my friends' kids that I'm the guy who shot Bambi's mother.

Hey! I shot first! (but missed )

 

[Eclectic Goddess]

I've been drunk at Disneyland, Disneyworld, and Universal Studios Orlando. Not sloppy and falling down, but, yeah, I'm a total lightweight.

Up until about 5 years ago, I was fairly anti-Disney. Then a friend convinced me to go with her to Disneyland for a park-only Nightmare Before Christmas figure release, and now I'm hooked.

I'm a vegetarian, but when in Disney, I eat bacon.


Okay, and the big one...

I like Disneyland better than Disneyworld. No contest, hands down, in every way. As my friend likes to say, "Walt never walked the streets of the 'world."

 

[Jordanblackpool]

As long as this stays in here, I dont mind revealing that

1) One of my favourite rides is Goofys barnstormer Dont know why, but its a good fun ride!

2) I dont like Disney fireworks. Its not just Disney ones, I dont like Fireworks. But the ones at Epcot...I dont get why everyone watches them and gets in position an hour before they start?

3) I Have been drunk in Disney!

4) As I have got older...i prefer US to Disney. This upsets alot of my family who are WDW mad

 

[EvilQueenT]

I've always loved the evil queen...when I was little you couldn't get her costume for halloween like you can now and I loved the idea of being scary but didn't want to be ugly and it just stuck that she's my villain. So now that I'm a grandmother I've enjoyed offering my granddaughter apples...which freaks her out so much she asks if it's a good apple or a sleepy apple. I get the feeling she doesn't quite trust me .
