What is your Disney shameful secret?

[TPCShauna]

After reading all the hype here, I finally had a Dole Whip . . . and it was disgusting.

MK is horrible. I seriously wouldn't go if it wasn't for Philharmagic. DL is SO MUCH BETTER!

My favorite ride at Epcot is Ellen's Energy Adventure.

Test Track is boring. Why is it considered a thrill ride?

CRT is completely overrated. The food was gross.

Fantasmic at MGM seriously sucks. DL's is 1,000 times better.

I think Fantasyland should be 18+ after 10:00pm. Shouldn't those kids be in bed at that point anyway?

Mine really isn't so much a secret but an unpopular/irrational point of view:
I have never, ever, ever, liked Minnie Mouse. I think she is a fake, floozy beeyotch. I am a typically rational and intelligent adult. How can I have such feeling for a character? Not a real person - a character! Something is wrong with me...

Ive never seen Lilo and Stitch, the movie!!!

Many of my secret dislikes I keep to myself since they often start arguments with other Disney freaks like myself.

I do not like Donald Duck. He is an angry, mean spritited guy who is just the opposite of my hero Mickey.

I don't like the waitresses at the '50s Prime Time Cafe. I know it is just part of the routine, but I still don't like it.

I don't get Tom Sawyer Island. The land could be put to better use.

The Indy Speedway is boring and what does it have to do with Tomorrowland anyway.

Animal Kingdom has some good shows, but otherwise I don't get the park. They don't know what they want to be.

The Nemo ride at the Seas in Epcot makes me yawn ( not to be confused with the Finding Nemo stage show at AK, which is great).

I still love the Carousel of Progress after all these years. I guess it feels comfortable, like an old shoe.

I would love to spend the night in Cinderella's Castle.

What is the deal with all the big alien eyes on all the newer princesses/heroines (Belle, Jasmine, Esmerelda)? My shameful Disney secret is that they give me the creeps! I think it all makes them look alike. I long for the days of Aurora, Snow White, and Cinderella who look NORMAL!

I don't have enough time to explain, but over the past 50 years or so, we have slowly been exposed to alien life forms (i.e., in the media, in the way we think, in the way we will respond when they expose themselves). The process has been ongoing, slow, steady, very deliberate and methodical.

The government has insiders that are from other worlds and many of our ex Presidents know this.

One day, we will know that they have been among us and when they do come forward, it will not be such a shock to us, because we will have become acusstomed to their ways.

- I hated Nemo (the musical)! But LOVE AK!
- I have a HUGE crush on Captain Jack (even the guy who played him last year was hot!! He's my wallpaper!)
- I don't like going to WDW with my DH - he is Disney-Challanged and just doesn't get it.

And I am SO jealous that my DS got accepted into the Disney College Program and will be a CM! I WANT TO BE A CM!!

Well said on all counts!

I think all children under the age of 10 should be out of the parks by 10 PM. If there are special events or extra hours all I see are tiny children being pushed to the extreme by rude, selfish parents. Every night I attended extra Magic hours 3 weeks ago, there was at least one screaming over tired child on the bus back to the hotel.

1. I also despise Stich.

2. I also think that Donald Duck is mean-spirited, power-seeking, and greedy.

3. I boss the trip each time and my family ends up in at least one big blow-up every trip.

4. The prices charged at the park restaurants offend me. Esp LTT. $100 for some store-bought ham and canned carrots. Yet I'm p.o.'ed that they are booked and i can't get ressies this time.

5. I think the character autograph collecting is moronic. That is NOT the real Mickey, Minney, Goofey, etc. It is a CM in a costume. Why on earth do people wait in line an hour for an autograph from an imposter?

Errrrr.... thanks for listening.

Lastly, I totally wanna flirt with the guy who plays Jack Sparrow and does a street show thing in Epcot. I know its not Jonny Depp, but hey its the closest I'll ever get, so he'll do!

Can you imagine the action that guy/guys get!? How great is that gig?

 

[1bigwdwfan]

I always found that the monorail smelled odd and one day it came to me - it smells like used Band-Aid!

You know, I kept thinking that it smelled funny...like something familiar, but couldn't place it. You are absolutely right about the band-aid smell!!

*blush* I'm ashamed to admit my shameful Disney secret but here goes....

At some point I always feel like I'm going to snap if one more person hits the back of my ankles with their stroller.

I hate the lack of courtesy by all the people with those electric scooters. They plow through the crowd seemingly without a care. I've had my foot run over more times than I can count.

It's so funny to read these posts and find that I'm not the goofball I thought I was.

*I cry when I get there & when I leave.
*I cry when I look at my pictures of my past trips.
*I get very excited (& cry) when I watch those free planning DVDs.
*I love making all the plans for trips even though I don't usually follow through with them.
*I haven't been to Tom Sawyer's Island.
*I rode Rafiki's Planet Watch & Living with the Land for the first time last Oct.
*I love Spaceship Earth and I'm a bit worried about all the changes.
*I listen to the Official Disney Albums during planning (which can only be done with a Disney themed pen) and on the way to the airport.
*I love Epcot.
*I love it's a small world.
*I wanna be the 1000 spirit on Haunted Mansion. That was actually one of my planned costumes for MNSSHP last year.
*I was very scared the first time I rode TT, now I have to ride it at least twice during my trip.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

I'm thinking that perhaps it is the influence of Japanimation? It has become soooo much more popular over the last 10 years.

Awww - thanks! George likes Mickey and unfortunately, Mocha likes Minnie. I don't know what I have done wrong in raising her but I suppose I will just have to get used to the idea that <gulp> my baby girl likes Minnie. I tried to steer her towards Daisy Duck but she will have none of it. Maybe it's just teenage rebellion?

I think it has to do with the idea that in animation, bigger eyes means more expressiveness. "The eyes are the window to the soul," it's ok to exaggerate in animation to illustrate reactions, big eyes are cute, etc. I think big eyes might be the norm in Japanese animation, as well, which has become increasingly popular. The only problem is that the Disney animation style doesn't lend itself well to the big eyes, and they don't seem to get it yet, or haven't worked out a way to work big eyes into the Disney style, so we get alien-eyed princesses.
