[kimysbug]

I do not like Iliminations at all
Tried to really did, but me no likey

 

[cbrooks45]

I dont get why disney does not hire small people to wear the costumes cause I dont understand why a mouse would be 6 feet tall even if it is mickey freakin mouse. I do not get all the acronyms on this website.

 

[cbrooks45]

OH, and I officially have a thing for the pocahantas character at disney. Their always hot.

1. I shut down Space Mountain once because of a towel.

2. I hate the fact that the Tapistry of Nations parade is not there.

3. I have bought the millenium cd 3 times because I have lost it each time and its my FAVORITE cd.

4. I have the best time in WDW when I travel alone. I meet more people! (psssst....don't tell my DF who is going with me in October)

5. I hate that River Country is gone

6. I cry everytime I watch Wishes, Fantasmic, Illuminations, the MNSSHP parade and fireworks, and any other show that Disney puts on.

What do you mean you shut down Space Mountain because of a towel..how? I don't get it? lol

Im 22 years old and i check disboards everyday..usually before my next trip to get my pumped. Ive been going to disney since i was 10 and i cant wait to have kids and take them there!! we always stay off site...so im soo exited to stay at the disney resorts when i have kids...i already have one in mind--wilerndess lodge!!

I like this thread. It makes me feel less strange.

1. I don't think I've ever spent a whole continuous day in just one park. I always hop just after lunch, or parade, or some such.
2. MK is my least favorite park. I don't think I've ever spent more than one half-day there each trip.
3. I was unimpressed by Spectromagic. Except for the battery-powered dwarves, which just made me giggle (that's a fairly shameful thought to be having).
4. AK is my favorite park, and usually gets at least 3 half-days out of any trip. There are so many hidden details and out-of-the way nooks and crannies that I don't understand how *anyone* can say that they've actually seen it after only 4-6 hours.
5. I LOVE Jammin Jungle Parade. The music makes me want to dance, and I like that you can see most of the workings of the puppets and such. (I have an unhealthy fascination with puppetry and set dressing because, despite having been away from scene shops and prop rooms for 15 years, I'm still a GREAT BIG theater geek.)
6. I was also unimpressed with mission space. After all the hype about how intense it was, I was expecting something a little more exciting than trying to push buttons in extra gravity.
7. HISTA- HATE the Kodak commercial pre-show (standing on a sloped floor when I'm already tired and footsore is not my idea of a good time), but the virtual dog snot makes my day every time. I miss the big dogs I grew up with.

Here are a few of my shameful secrets!!!!

1. I LOVE Eeyore with reckless abandon.

2. My one true goal in life is to stay at all the Disney Hotels.

3. I can't pick a favorite park. Can you pick a favorite kid???

4. I loved watching my husband's eyes light up the first time he saw the castle. It was better than the kids we were with!!!

Here's the BIGGEST secret!!!!!!! My almost 40 year old husband LOVES WDW. His favorite park is MK. I always thought it would have been Epcot but nope he loves that Magic Kingdom. He loves it so much we are going to the Halloween and Christmas parties this year. I LOVE a man that LOVES the Mouse!!!!

 

[missfigment]

My top ten confessions :

1) i havent stayed in a disney resort since the eighties in The Contemporary....we leave in a few days to BC and I'm really excited.

2) When fast pass first came out, I was so mad because I thought people payed for them and i thought it was unfair. So everytime my friend and I saw someone use them on that trip we muttered under our breath "fast pass my a**." lol

3) I think the tram ride from the paring lot is the BEST ride!

4) I have "kissed" my way through the haunted mansion with my boyfriend (who is now my husband lol). I've always wondered if disney keep tapes of the rides and watches the embarrassing ones at Christmas parties.

5) I HATE the new figment ride and I miss "But what about science?"

6)I think the princess thing has gotten way out of hand.

7)Epcot has always been my favorite and I'll choose to go there before MK

8)I always skip the Norway movie by running through the exit door while its still open.

9) I was terrified to ride Splash mountain for fear of dirty water in my screaming mouth!

10) I would totally love to wear cutesy disney shirts while at the park but I know my family would not go in on that with me

 

[Kaler131]

I don't like to watch Magic Kingdom parades. But I am glad most everyone else does.

I soooooo agree with this one!! My kids do too...

...but not an unreasonable concern.

 

[Alex&Evan'sMom]

ok -

1) I cry everytime I ride IASW - makes me think of my grandma (her fav)

2) I'm 32 and watch Disney Channel all the time!

3) My ritual to get ready for a trip is to pick a pack of Dis movies and watch one daily - Pinocchio and Monsters, Inc. are the next 2 (trip to DL 3/14)!

4) I've never been to Disney with kids! Most people find that strange so I keep it to myself.

5) I LOVE Stitch and Tink (bad and sassy work for me).

Okay, I was beginning to think I had a long lost twin....until I read #4. 1) I make everyone ride IASW at least once on every trip. We took my grandma on her 1st vacation ever when I was 11 and she was 61.(Side note, we also got our ears pierced together. I was 7 and she was 57.) She was infatuated with IASW. She went on and on about the detail and already had a small doll collection herself. I get teary every time I ride reliving the memories. She also loved the Carousel of Progress(and yes I make everyone ride that too. My 4 yr. old and I love it). I miss her so. 2)I'll be 32 on my birthday and I love the Disney Channel(especially the sitcoms). The whole family watches. 3)Everyone watches Disney movies before we go to get us pumped up for our trip ever since my little ones were very small. Works every time! 4) Been with and without kids, prefer first. 5) Tink is my favorite(Mickey a close second). I got a personalized sterling silver Tink watch for Christmas and I never take it off. Stitch is a mischevious little sweetie! Reminds me of my youngest sometimes. Ohana means family! Makes me tear up every time.

I dont get why disney does not hire small people to wear the costumes cause I dont understand why a mouse would be 6 feet tall even if it is mickey freakin mouse.

I think a lot of that is due to all of the animals being anthropomorphized in Disney films/cartoons. I mean, Mickey is a mouse but he owns a pet dog? Goofy is technically a dog, too, but he's certainly no one's pet.

There are height limitations, though, for the costumes. I once dined at a restaurant not far from Disneyland and our waitress had formerly worked in the park as a character. She mentioned that all of the characters she played were based on her specific height. I suppose that's to keep the characters all roughly in proportion to their film depictions (i.e. Goofy is always taller than everyone else).

I don't like to watch Magic Kingdom parades. But I am glad most everyone else does.

I thought I was the only one and that I must be a bit strange It's nice to know that there are others out there like me.

Mr. Snail I love your sig! The house that was filmed in is near where I live. They've refurbed it and opened it for tours. I went once and met the guy who delivered the "fra-gi-le" package. He still lives on that block and was hired as an extra.

Sorry for the hijack.

All I can say is Best.Hijack.Ever!

[Howellsy]

I've never been on Dumbo or the Tea Cups and I've never been to Tom Sawyer's Island
I don't recall seeing a whole parade from start to finish

 

[Disney_Lover06]

1. The last time I rode Dumbo it was about 10 years ago even though I have gone to the park about 7 times since.
2. I love the old Disney commericals especially the 93 Best Our Guest one and watch them all the time.
3. Everytime I see the Welcome Show at the Magic Kingdom, I cry tears of joy.
