What is your Disney shameful secret?

[Gisele]

Last year while visiting Disneyland, Ca. I was wanting to exit the park, via the stroller exit, for there were no bodies, nor strollers, nada, there. While across the way, there were lines of people waiting to exit. I was hot,cranky,upset over rude people, and I just wanted to exit, there, not way over there. The CM would not allow it, so I let one, just one, not so nice word come out of my mouth. I am not proud of it. At the time, I felt better, until later, when I thought, OMG! I swore at Dl. (Sigh, not a good one either) That was the first and last time, I did that. (I am still shaking my head over that one, I am sorry)

and..........

TOT as much as I love the queue, and the theming, the ride itself, gave me motion sickness! Why me? I have no idea! Maybe that sort of thing can happen when you are getting older? I am thinking so. For I have never experienced that before, any other time (Have been on TOT, just once, maybe the last time as well) I can definitely see walking through the queue, so as to take a good look at the decor, however once it comes to going on the ride, probably not. The thing is though, I do not want anyone thinking much less stating, that I am being a chicken. It would have nothing to do with that at all. If one feels motion sickness on a ride, that is just the way that it is. Maybe I can take something for that? Like Dramamine? Why not? After all, it is for motion sickness. Maybe I just should not go on the ride anymore?

My shameful secret is that for a while I seriously considered moving to a smaller apartment so I could afford to go to Disney more than once a year.

I really want to try a solo trip, but I know it would hurt DH's feelings since he loves Disney too.

I actually could go to Disney a second time with the new offer IF I cancel that trip to see my mother in law next year.

Wise choice to include DH in your Disney plans since he shares your appreciation of Disney. Just curious, how would you react if he told you that he wanted to try a solo Disney trip? Maybe you both would like to try solo visits for a change of pace sometime.

I love Stitch, collect all kinds of Stitch stuff at the parks, but I've never actually seen the movie

You might be pleasantly surprised at your DH's reaction to you wanting to take a solo trip. My DH loves it that I take solo trips sometimes-there are always certain things that I love to do that he doesn't (like riding TTA 10X in a row, or riding Goofy's Barnstormer sans kids). So on my solo trips, I do all those things he'd rather avoid. And I always come back with some great things-place to eat, food to try, etc.-that we have/do next time.

Secret: I sometimes feel, when I'm actually IN Disney World, that I'm enjoying a vibe that's just not really there anymore.

 

[PrincessKitty1]

DH and I live 2 hours from Disney and average 8 weekends a year there, and we've never seen Fantasmic.

 

[MaryPA]

I did not care for Grand Floridian and it makes me sick thinking how much I spent to stay there.

I did not like beniegts.

I do like COP and TTA. I find relaxing and pleasant. I do like the thrill rides too!

I truly despise Space Mountain. I was in the front seat and let's just say I was scared out of my mind that I was going to fall out of the seat. I actually was crying by the end of the ride. Never again

Hi,

*I like the turkey legs.
*I've never ridden Dumbo.
*I don't like Primeval Whirl. It's as if they put Mad Hatter's Tea Party on a coaster.
*I wasn't crazy about the food at Jiko. I like Boma better.

I have no desire to ever ride EE again. I just don't like it.

I let myself get conned into going on that by my neices and nephew, I did swear a bit so got let off doing other rollercoasters.

1 Can't get photographed with characters, just hate having my photo taken.
2 Didn't like dole whip might try again next year
3 swore on the barnstormer rollercoaster,too much of wimp for these things
4 Cant stand Micky Mouse or pluto
5 I can't eat these chocolate covered banana things they look way to phallic for my liking!!!!

I am completely with you on the "Grown-up Only Day" for WDW. My husband keeps saying that he would pay extra for that sort of experience.

Add me to another one who would pay extra -- maybe a hard ticket event? -- for a grown-ups only time in the park! In fact, I wish restaurants had grown-ups only sections and movie theaters had grown-ups only days and/or screens. I've heard that some movie theaters have actually started doing this. I love going to Disney with my honorary niece (daughter of a friend) but since it's just myself and my SO with no kids and we live in Orlando, we go on our own a lot.

Maybe I should try that a few times over the year -- we have seasonal passes and live in Orlando but my SO just isn't that keen on Disney. If only I didn't have to pay for parking ... it makes it much less affordable to just take a quick trip over to the parks.

As to my "secret" ... hmmm. I'm intrigued by the TOT but I've never gotten up the gumption to ride it!

Actually he probably wouldn't mind the solo trip idea as much as that nagging urge to cancel the trip to see his mom. I am actually thinking I may try to work it out for Jan 2010. That way we can still see his mother and I can have a solo trip. (Unfortunately a solo trip for him to see his mom is not turning out to be a plan. I haven't seen her since our wedding 7 years ago.)

I don't like tinker bell
I don't get it, why so many are in love with her...but then again to each his own. I just hate that because I love disney people think a tinker bell gift is something I'll like.

Great, great thread!

Here's my list:

I've never had a good time at WDW with a romantic interest. I enjoy being there with parents, siblings, my niece, other people's kids, friends... but not girlfriends. They don't get it.

Of all the exciting things to do and see at MK, my favorite is the WEDway PeopleMover, and I still refer to it by its old name, since I can't remember the new one.

I have the music from the old Epcot parade on my iPhone, and listen to it frequently. (Along with the instrumental version of Fantasmic, Illuminations, SpectroMagic...)

Favorite movie -- ever -- is Enchanted. And I'm sure I still don't get most of the hidden references.

Never found a Hidden Mickey on my own.

I've been to MK since I was a child, and last year was the first time I rode Space Mountain. And I didn't like it very much. (I'm not a fan of Things That Move Very Quickly.)

The first time I rode Splash Mountain (a few years ago), I waited in line with much fear and trembling. Managed to convince myself that it's only a ride, people do it every day, no one has died yet (as far as I know). Got through the whole thing, got wet (of course), screamed like a small child on the way down, but managed to compose myself before getting off the ride. Exited feeling quite relieved and quite pleased with myself... and walked right into a support beam on the way out. Clocked myself pretty good and bent my glasses, too.

Ok...I laughed out loud when I read that!! That's hysterical!

Glad I could brighten your day... sometimes the most embarrassing (or painful) moments are the most memorable! (and the most entertaining... afterwards...)

I think the best part about the parks (especially MK) is that even when things go wrong, the magic is still there. Everything that happens has just a little bit of joy mixed in. Maybe that's because everyone around you is having such a wonderful time. (Well, I'm not sure that everyone is, but all of the people whom I choose to notice are!)

 

[Gisele]

I sure am sorry that you hit your head, and then bent your glasses.
I hope that you did not have a headache all day long, that would just be no fun.

Every time I am in the World, I expect Prince Charming to show up and sweep me off my feet...
...maybe one day.
