What is your Disney shameful secret?

[lbklyn]

Okay I think I am ready to post my most shameful.
1. Mickey and Minny do nothing for me. (I understand their significance, but as Characters go......nothing.
2. Never have seen fantasmic.
3. Think those name things in front of Epcot make it look VERY depressing and conjested. Looks like a Memorial or Cemetary. Hate it.
4. Cry on Soarin EVERYTIME. By the time I pull it together were almost at DL and I have wasted most of the ride.
5. Want SO badly to sneak into MK at night and explore EVERYTHING! But going to jail does not appeal to me.
6. Am in the process of trying to sneak off to WDW for my first solo trip. Feel guilty but I want to do it just ONCE! (I have no small children).
7. I would rather go to WDW than anyplace else. But if it is a beautiful beach location it would be a tie. Just different feeling obviously.
8. Have never been to any table service restaurant at the parks. Except 1breakfast and 2 lunches at CP.
9. Want to get out of the vehicle in Haunted Mansion and explore. Again, jail does not appeal to me.
10. Do not even care anymore if I get caught at work looking at the Disboards.

 

[iheartjacksparrow]

My list of most shameful Disney Secrets:

1. Never heard of a dole whip until the disboards and reading Mousejunkies. I'll have to try one in June when I'm there!
2. I HATE Stitches Great Escape or whatever it's even called. It's definetly the worst ride in Disney!
3. I'm not too fond of Stitch either.....
4. I'm going to go broke from all my trips to Disney!
5. I love the rides at HS, but this park is definetly lacking some Disney magic..
6. I wish I could tell everyone about my Disney obsession, and I wish people would understand it!!
7. I'm DYING to see what they do to the LEGENDARY YEARS!!

Hmmm....that's all I can think of for now, if I think of more I'll put them up!

My shameful secret? I think I like WDW more than my kids! I take them along as the excuse!

 

[Stacy's a freak]

My latest shameful secret is that I got so excited today because my Chase Disney Visa arrived! Honestly, I already have a credit card and rarely use it. I just wanted Mickey's body on my card. Gosh, I hope Suze Orman doesn't frequent this site!

 

[Disney MAINEiac]

My first trip WDW was when I was 31, we got free tickets of choice to either Orlando or Vegas. I wanted Vegas and went kicking and screaming to Orlando. I loved it and my wife now goes just to humor me. I like it more than the kids as well

Ok this is a mix of secrets and secret gripes (because I would never say anything about them outside of this thread!)

~My husband and I have a little game we play when we go to the parks, he started it but now i find myself playing on solo trips
How long until we spot the first meltdown? It's usually not long at all, I think the record so far is 5 minutes. (and in-case anyone is wondering it is NOT always a child)

~I look for hidden Mickeys out in the real world!

~I don't like pin sharks either, especially the ones who want you to go buy them specific pins- tricking people is not very magical

~ children on heeleys, or should I say PARENTS who allow their children to take shoes with wheels to a crowded theme park and endanger themselves and others -need to be tripped. I play roller derby and am finding it really hard not to block some of the more annoying older kids. (On a more childish note- I'm not allowed to wear my skates to the park! so why can they?!)

~ I Love the Disney channel! (I'm watching Phineas & Ferb right now)

~ My Ipod has 80 gigs of Disney music and podcasts, and on more than one occasion they have saved an annoying coworkers life

~I have a separate wardrobe for WDW trips

~ People who ram you with their strollers drive me crazy! I am not talking accidental. When people do it with empty strollers it's bad, but I think its worse when there is a child inside! How is this responsible parenting? What if the person you are intentionally ramming falls backward onto your kid? GRRRR I actually saw an elderly lady get plowed down by a stroller, the woman pushing it just kept right on going! And the poor lady ended up needing medical attention! At the very least we should be able to shoot these people with paint ball guns- so that others can identify them from a distance and avoid injury.

~ Ok this one may seem strange- but I hate that the merch is the same in every store! If I am in the villains store I want to get villains merch! The place where this bothers me the most is the Muppet Store. Maybe 20 items in there are Muppets the rest is general park merch! As a Muppet fan this frustrates me to no end!

~ I do not like the new HS parade, but I loved stars and motorcars.

~ Rude/angry/unhappy cast-members ruin it for me. I am sorry, I know not everyone is always happy but they are called cast members for a reason, (dance monkeys! dance JK) and being impolite should not be an option. I know everyone can have an off day but I noticed this quite allot on my last trip.

~ I am a little obsessed with the animation studio. I will spend an entire day in there drawing

~ I go to AK just to ride EE over, and over again

~ I like watching Stacey's top 10, but the original was better

~ I plan WDW trips constantly, I am currently planning 3 (April, Aug,Oct)

~ ok this is the big one- I don't believe my friends when they complain about my frequent trips and tell me they can't afford to take their kids to WDW. Especially when they begin lecturing me about how wrong it is that I go SOLO while they are holding their designer purses or driving brand new luxury cars or telling me about their adult only trips to Vegas. Life is full of choices and priorities and for me a brand new car and designer clothes are not a priorities. But standing on main street facing the train station and watching the reactions of children and adults who are seeing the castle for the first time, crying like a baby during Wishes, and holding my breath as the headless horsemen gallops through the MK , now those are priorities


Oh my that was quite allot. Sorry, but I feel so much better this is like confession for Disney nuts!

 

[EvilQueenT]

have to say i love to credit card secret lol!

one of my most shameful secrets or moments was in 2007 my husband and i booked a suite at the gf as a second honeymoon over our anniversary. by the time we arrived (and we only live 2 1/2 hrs away) it was around 1-2pm (not there when the park opened) we went on one ride in the mk and he'd complained so much all day i finally told him to rent a car and go home (we'd driven down in my car). i told him i'd stay the week without him if he didn't straighten up... shameful part is i think i really would have stayed and still enjoyed my one woman second honeymoon. luckily the pixie dust got him and now he's a wdw addict like the rest of us.

This exactly. Disney is absolutely do-able on a small budget as long as you know what you're doing. And I would much rather sit on the monorail all day than spend $700 on a pair of shoes (I actually know someone who did ths!).

 

[lbklyn]

You need to do #8 and #2!

I was hopeing someone would encourage me to do #5.
I am definitly going to go to Fantasmic next time. I would like to try a restaurant but not sure which one. Feel uncomfortable in very fancy ones. More of a surf and turf type of person also. Comfortable atmosphere. Any suggestions?

 

[katt789]

#1: Basically every time I watch Lilo & Stich I cry (I've also cried in the Lion King & Princess & The Frog


#2: I've actually only every been to DisneyLand, and that was back in 1997, when I was only 7!

#3: As a small child, I had a crush on Tigger...I called him my boyfriend...that's right...not Prince Charming, or Aladdin, or anything...but Tigger..

The headless horseman at MK is one of the best things I have every seen. If that was the entire parade I would not be upset.

My DH and I also look for the first meltdown and you are right, it never takes long to find. One time it was on the plane and it was a mother screaming because the satelite TV kept going out. Its only a 2 1/2 hour flight.

My shameful secret? I think I like WDW more than my kids! I take them along as the excuse!

hahaha

 

[meghan&josh]

My DF and I have a few:

- We could get both AK and HS done in one day and be perfectly fine with it.
- We could spend DAYS going around the world at EPCOT (and we have!).
- We DO NOT like the stunt-show at HS. Meh.
- We hate strollers. They are obsessed with running over my right foot. EVERY TIME.
- Snow White makes us vomit. Just her voice, really.
- I will always have gone 11 more times than he has (I've been 13 times. Math! GO!).
- HSM also makes us vomit.

GOOD STUFFFFF:

- Seeing the castle makes me jump and clap like a little girl.
- We CONSTANTLY look for hidden Mickeys no matter where we are.
- We want to make a point of getting a picture of us kissing in front of the castle every time we visit.
- We will stalk Mickey Mouse until we have a picture with him in every costume (thanks for the idea from the Donald Stalker!).
- Our future kids will be Disneyphiles whether they like it or not (MOMMY IS ALWAYS RIGHT!)
- We resent our Campus Cable because there is no Disney Channel or ABC Family.
- WE WILL GO TO DISNEY WORLD (or Disneyland or wherever we can get Disney action) EVERY YEAR FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES! (...provided we can afford it)

That's all for now

 

[meghan&josh]

I am definitly going to go to Fantasmic next time. I would like to try a restaurant but not sure which one. Feel uncomfortable in very fancy ones. More of a surf and turf type of person also. Comfortable atmosphere. Any suggestions?

I suggest 50's Primetime Cafe, Hollywood and Vine (it's a buffet), or Sci-Fi Dine-in. They're all pretty comfortable, but at 50's you will be hassled by your waiter/waitress if you don't finish your vegetables

This should help:

* I am terrified of TOT, but I love EE and RNRC.....
*I want to have an unforgettable "souvenir"
* I love wishes, and it makes me tear up......
*It gives me an indescribable feeling that I have yet to explain
* When I see the GF, I feel like royalty
*I love getting ears, even though I own a pair
* I love the boat rides to the POLY and GF

! I can not stand to hear and see Stacy all day long
! I don't like rude people that walk right into you and don't even say anything
! I dislike CM's who seem to have a chip on their shoulder
! Hate walking through the courtyards to get to restaurant or shops and have
tons of smoke blowing in my direction
! People who try to barge their way in while I am waiting to see a parade that
we came early to and waited forever and a day for the best seats
! That WDW is expensive and some people will never get an opportunity to
go and have their "wishes come true"
! People that try to force you to play the games waiting in line
!People that just won't stop ing when I'm trying to listen to the CM's
! People that always create drama in WDW just for attention

Think that just about cover's it all !! LOL

I am a 34 year old male. Love football, hockey and playing Call of Duty. When I watched the Hannah Montana Movie with my three daughters I cried. Like cried cried.
