What is your Disney shameful secret?

[plutoluvsfifi]

I hate ADRs. I will never make one.

How does that work out for you?

 

[stichlover87]

-I have a collection of Disney's greatest hits CDs that I listen to in my car
-I have the words to the monorail and the Haunted Mansion on my I-Pod
-Only in Disney would I ever consider wearing Crocs (mickey mouse ones of course)
-I love the TTA or People Mover as I like to call it
-Sometimes I have a hard time sharing my trips with people (don't get my crazy love of Disney or my commando style of touring)
-I love giving people fastpasses that I don't use or need
-I love guessing which ghost will be in the car with me on HM or which room we enter into Left or Right
-I am sure I have about 100 more but these were off the top of my head

You'll never see me at rope drop

Probably will never have a dole whip

And I truly do hate Its a Small World

 

[dizfanz]

How does that work out for you?

DW and I decide where we want to eat and just go there. Always get in. Maybe we have to wait in the bar for an hour or so and have a cocktail. I know, it stinks to have to order a drink on vacation. We are DINKs though, so no kids getting cranky. We can eat later at night. We mostly go to Signature restaurants, which I think are easier to get in at.

 

[dizneyjill]

Every time I go on IASW I ask myself WHY!

Never had a dole Whip, but it's on my list for December

Miss the Sunshine Tree Terrace real frozen orange juice and vanilla Ice cream swirl

I think about going to Disney to fall asleep

I leave my husband at home because he can't keep up and thinks you have to REST! No resting when fun awaits!

So old I remember E-tickets

I miss Mr Toads Wild Ride..loved the pitch forks!

Never seen wishes or Illuminations (but plan to in DEC)

Secretly wish I could fly so I could go to Disney anytime I wanted!

Addicted to food porn

I agree with all of that!

I do not like Dole Whips.
My neck hurts after riding BTMR and Space Mt
I think MGM is a waste of time after you do Toy Story Mania, Fantasmic and eatting.

I love the song " when somebody loved me" from Toy Story 2 and " I Try" from peter pan 2 also " What's This / Christmas Town" ( not sure the title) from Nightmare before Christmas although I haven't seen the movie.

 

[lexandme]

I too have Disney music on my IPOD and in my car. I also have more than a few WDW and DCL videos downloaded on my IPOD from podcasts and youtube. I ride the bus to work every day and watch videos to pass the time. I make sure no one else can see what I'm watching because I don't want them to think I'm crazy watching fireworks over the castle, Mickey and his friends dancing down Mainstreet or videos of parades!

I haven't been to WDW since 2005 and I really don't miss it too much.

A short story --

In 2001, I turned 40 and my father was diagnosed with cancer. I was supposed to go to Italy, but my mother didn't want me to leave the country. So, I went to WDW by myself, and made it a point to go to Epcot Italy on the big 4-0.

So, there I am, sitting on a bench in Italy, sobbing because it didn't feel like Italy, it was NOTHING like Italy. It was like sitting on a bench in a theme park in Florida (ya think? ) A CM walked over to me and asked me if I was OK. Still sobbing, I told her the story and ended with "No offense, but this really SUCKS!" (said sobbing and hiccuping with every word.) And she agreed with me!

I have been back to WDW since then, and I did go on a cruise to Italy and Greece (magnificent!) for my 45th birthday, so there are no hard feelings against Epcot. But I might be the only person who has announced "This really SUCKS!" in the actual park.

 

[plutoluvsfifi]

I wear my Mickey crocks anywhere

I like Dole Whip (don’t LOVE it, but like it)

I think that there is something creepy about ISW. DH and I have a theory the Spectro men live there.

For the past five years lexandme and I have had a standing appointment every Saturday at 8am to talk Disney.

 

[stitchaholic]

i'm 38 and I sleep with a giant stich stuffy that i bought in the world 2 trips ago, "he was the one"

And sometimes we can't get enough "Disney Talk" on Saturdays so we talk again on Sundays at 8!
I also wear my Mickey Crocs in public (and they're red!)
I really, really, really need to try a Dole Whip.

I keep a WDW/DCL diary. I journal all of my pre planning info, costs,activities, weather and personal thoughts of each day during each trip (and any other Disney info). I also keep park schedules, maps, etc. in there. I'm almost to the end of my third journal book. I have been doing this every year since 2005. My plan is to pass it down to our son so he has written memories of all of our trips.

I'm too scared to ride BTMR!

I keep a stuffed Baloo on my nightstand. I secretly say good night to him every night!

 

[Businessgypsy]

The "I believe in dreams" extravaganza at Magic Kingdom gives me the creeps. Plays out like a fundamentalist religious cult indoctrination routine.

 

[FergieTCat]

I have a secret plot to combine Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin and IASW. You score points for every international doll that you blast.

Most embarassing:

In 2006, I was on the monorail on my way to EPCOT on the first day of our trip. I was so excited! In fact, I was so excited that we had to go back to the resort to have a swim and dinner to calm me down enough that we could finally head to the parks. I felt like a three year old (I was 28).

Other shameful secrets:

I was nervous to get married to my husband because he had never been to Disney World and I didn't know what I was going to do if he didn't 'get it.' (Thankfully, he does and is almost as into it as I am...almost).

My most magical memories at Disney World are not with my husband but with my best friend. (He doesn't know that and would be more than a little upset to know.)

I convinced my husband to buy into the DVC on the premise that we would save money...really it was so I could guarantee to go every 1-2 years for the rest of my life.

I have only ever been to WDW as an adult and I am scared of going with my children (who should be showing up pretty soon).

 

[Vivianne]

Okay....I'll join this strange society...

Dolewhips = too sweet

Turkey Legs = Yuck...

My secret is I stopped telling co-workers about my Disney vacations. They'd never understand...

I also secretly listen to my Disney CDs at work...nobody knows....

 

[delaneyc52]

We've just returned and I admit....we did Kim Possible at Epcot and saved the world. It was fun!

 

[ttester9612]

I've never seen Illuminations...maybe I'll get to this October.

Hate Dole Whips and Turkey Legs...in my opinion their both "GROSS"

 

[O4theluvaDisney]

In no particular order:

*Still wishing I hadn't wussed out on going on the ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter ride before it was taken out.

*Magic Kingdom is my least favorite park, and we usually only spend half a day there(to ride the few attractions I always want to attend).

*The drop at Splash Mountain scares me, but I'm fine with TOT. Go figure.

*I STILL love Tigger more than any adult should and get excited to see the character at the parks.

*Ellen's Energy Adventure ride is a favorite of mine, regardless of how many times I've rode it —as well as the fact that the last time I rode it resulted in a fifteen minute stall in an empty room with sparkly, rotating lights— since my first visit in '97, because of Bill Nye the Science Guy as much as Ellen (love them both, but I've always had a sick adoration of Bill Nye and his scientific facts).

*I occasionally prefer a somewhat slow moving line for STAR TOURS because I love the queue area so much.

*I don't get all the hype of MISSION Space. For me, it was dull (in a scientific computer game way) aside from the getting jarred around. The queue area was really neat, though. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it failed to live up to what I had hoped.

*Never been to the Hall of Presidents. I do feel pretty ashamed of that.

*Back when Body Wars was still around, I thought I was going to be sick after riding it. Blech. Ironic that prior to going in ’97, I was looking forward to it the most.

*Whenever going to EPCOT, I can’t wait for Spaceship Earth and The World Showcase. Funny, EPCOT was my least favorite park back in ’97, when I was eleven (aka, I thought it was boring).

*The Disney commercials are the only ones I un-mute my tv for. Even if MK is my least favorite park, seeing the Castle just excites me, and it is so beautiful. Cinderella's Castle is JUST the symbol of WDW for me.

*I go to AK mainly for DINOSAUR and Kali River Rapids (my last visit was prior to EE completion). I must say the park is very pretty and nice to walk through. It has the best sights — as far as walking is concerned — from end of the park to the other in my opinion.

*I get WAY too excited, during the drive, just seeing the WDW billboards all over Orlando (usually a couple hours before arriving).

*The reason I go into the shops at WDW is to look at the stuffed animals (haha!). I will never outgrow them, it seems. I buy at least one EVERY time I'm there, even if I can find them cheaper online.

*The ghosts that pop up from behind the tombstones on HM get me EVERY, stinking time. My fear of jumping-out-and-scare-me attractions never gets better.

*I truly miss the tornado portion that used to be in Journey into the Imagination ride. I recall being eleven and going through that ride so amazed and loving it and thoroughly disappointed after going again in 2001 to find it had been stripped of everything that had been so cool. It bummed me out for a little while that day.

*I like the creative portion of DisneyQuest but not enough so to pay the extreme price for a ticket since I’m not a big fan of games. I used to love when you got to pick a music genre voice and song then have it played back in the booth. Also, you could buy the cd, if you wanted. Although, I remember it was a PAIN trying to get the male rock singer’s voice to come out right on the cd compared to the booth(I was upset to the point of tears after putting the cd in my portable player and finding the voice had gotten sluggish and lower on the cd). Somehow, I tricked the computer and got the voice right so I could have the guy singing the way I wanted him to the second time around.

*Have been to WDW three times and still haven't seen the Beauty and the Beast show at DHS. Shame on me seeing as it was my childhood favorite for many, many years.

Hec no! They would come at night to seek revenge. I'm telling you they are CREEPY.
