What is your Disney shameful secret?

[DisneyDee27]

I do NOT like Duffy the bear. Not the idea of it, the backstory, or the actual bear.

Whenever I am feeling homesick for WDW and wish I was there, I listen to the score from Wishes. It's some of my favorite Disney music. I've been listening to it a lot lately cause I want to go back SO bad!!!

I've brainwashed my son into loving Disney LOL. He now hates all Nick Jr shows and all we do is talk about Disney....who we want to take pics with next time, who's autographs we haven't got yet, what kind of Disney pins we want next, and so on......Dh is now outnumbered, since all we want to do is watch Disney movies and WDW is the only place we want to vacation....he's outnumbered and that is just the way I planned it bahahahah. He can't tell us no.

Secrets, hmm? I'll bite.

In our twenties, my brother and I used to sneak in rum in Disney mugs to drink on Pirates. We accidentally enhanced the ride, as more than once someone else in our boat commented that it was so realistic that they even smelled rum!

My family went to DLP so often in my youth that I memorized all the menus and price lists. This was handy as a teen on a budget, and if I brought a newbie friend along. The shameful part is I TRIED to memorize the menus for places our traveling companions might like for our last trip to WDW. This included the FandW kiosks.

I had to BEG DH for our first joint Disney venture in 2008, and now he tells anyone who asks that it is the best vacation anywhere.

I had to do the same thing with my DH -

Okay here I go

1) I haven't done tons of things at the MK, even though I am realizing that it might be my fav. park.

2) I hate AK with a passion and will be doing it on my next family trip just so my 2 small kids can be better entertained in Disney while my 2 bigger kids are bored to tears. A 1/2 day of torture and then I can go swimming at my resort.

3) I hate robots and animatronics. I have real anxiety on some rides. My kids tease me

4) I love the Muppets and HS. I might knock my own children out of the way if I could get a pic with a Muppet.

5) My love of COP was sealed my last visit. First time to ride, quite kids, A/C....now my family will do random breakouts of "Its a great big beautiful tommorow"

6) Epcot is um, well, okay. Not my favorite but I try to be a good sport. I plan on reminding my DH of where he threw up over the side of the bridge going into World Showcase every time we go. He was a trooper and felt like major crap that day, but the sight of him tossing his cookies makes me giggle. And the fish "snacking" on his gastric contents is gross but hilarious. I think that is why God gave me 4 sons instead of daughters.

7) I might steal other people's kids after mine get older so I can do as many YES programs as I can. I had an amazing time.

I learn Disney choreography and minimally perform it as I watch the show or parade. Sometimes a performer sees me and gets confused look on their face as to why I know it.

I love reading these! So great! Mine is that I haven't seen Sleeping Beauty and now I'm obsessed with the designer doll of her. I need to see it. I will soon. Also, that I'm way too obsessed with completing this designer set.

*I really, really, REALLY dislike most of the Disney princesses.

*The world globe at Illuminations is a huge bore.

*I miss the old World of Motion and Horizons at Epcot.

*The last time I went on Space Mountain, I wound up in the first aid office for two hours, vomiting frequently. (And that was even with taking Bonine so I wouldn't get sick!)

I'm sure I'll think of more! This is fun!

 

[Lauralooneyfordisney]

I have one. My DH and I hate musicals so we have never been to any musical show at WDW. I love the fact that the rides are empty around them during show time though.

 

[EvilQueenT]

since my kids have grown up and my 7 year old granddaughter hates fireworks the only time i'm interested in fireworks is if i happen to see them while riding a ride.

 

[Tower]

Just have a new one.
Guys are not supposed to cry, but due to DSIL's cancer, we had to postpone and tentatively cancel our DW trip that was to leave this Wednesday (booked before we found out) .
I would never tell DW this as we both know that family comes first, but I'm dying inside! Was looking forward to this trip since we booked it in March!

One good thing was we did not tell the kids we were going at all, because of DSIL. Did not want to raise their hopes and then squash them.

I am so very sorry to hear this. I hope your DSIL responds well to his treatment, and you all manage to get back on track to WDW soon.

Thanks DrDoofenshmirtz, but it's terminal now. It's just a waiting game and doing whatever we can to make her comfortable. At least we will have the chances to return to the world many more times in our future. (I hope)

 

[*sarah*]

Tower, I am so sorry to hear about your DSIL's prognosis. Your whole family is in my thoughts.


New Secret from me....I HATE The Nightmare Before Christmas with a passion and it annoys me to see all the products for it on the DisneyStore website. It all just doesn't seem "Disney" to me. And then there are those dang Muppets (who I do like, just not at Disney World).....

Wow, Tower, my heart goes out to you and your family. I've gone through this with several family members (who hasn't, right?), and I absolutely empathize with you.

 

[Disney_Princess83]

I don't like Rapunzel at all I know she is a "princess" but I hate the fact that she is now replacing Sleeping Beauty/Princess Aurora on alot of merchandise. Belle, Sleeping Beauty/Aurora and Ariel are my favourite princesses!

I hate Snow White's Scary Adventures. It scared the hell out of me! Yes, seriously.

I cried the first time I saw the Castle and get teary just thinking about it.

I wish adults could get dressed up in the parks all the time. I understand why they can't but I'd love to walk around as Belle. Hopefully we can do MNSCHP sometime in the future.

I LOVE IASW! At Disneyland, I went on it three times back to back. No lines so I just kept going around. LOVED IT! I then proceeded to sing the song all day and people hate me...

At Disneyland, I had a mega meltdown in the middle of the Bear Making Factory late one evening. The store was so full and you couldn't move. We were midway through making the bears, with the store full of all these little kids and I just started crying and I left.

My disney shameful secret is I love to go over to the GF when they have the Perfectly Princess Tea and watch the little girls all dressed in their favorite princess dresses and get introduced to Miss Rose Petal.

 

[dgundry]

My shameful Disney secret is www.disboards.com... that's right... not even my wife knows about my obsession reading all the posts here!



P.S. And to think, my kids believe I plan all of these great Disney trips for them! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[nichanda]

1) I'm scared of the characters. There's something mime-ish about the characters that walk around, and it makes me want to run away. I'm 30...

2) I refused to try and have a baby until DH agreed to go to Disney World with me. We've never been there together, and I wanted a trip to Disney that would be all about us. He gave in, and we are going in Feb. I wouldn't have budged on this one, as terrible as that sounds.

3) DH and I were in Hong Kong last fall with another couple. I wanted to go to Disney there so badly. The other three didn't. Not knowing the area I didn't dare go alone, so I didn't go at all. I was secretly mad about this for months, and I'm not 100% over it. This is a reason behind #2!

4) I'm equally as excited for the monorail as I am for any ride.

5) I feel guilty for spending a day or two at Universal, even though I really enjoy it. I feel like I am cheating on Disney.

6) Every time I watch a "Golden Girls" rerun, I feel proud that I seen the front of the house at MGM as a kid. I've actually caught myself bragging about this to people in recent years.

7) I always completely stop what I am doing/saying when a Disney World commercial is on TV, and just stare in awe.
