What is your Disney shameful secret?

[luvthemouse71]

-I think rope drop is highly overrated
-finds it sad when people with no health issues complain about all the walking
- I hate those humongous strollers that people use these days...I swear they are more of a status symbol for the mommy crowd.
- not crazy about Parades
- hate Goofy

 

[luvthemouse71]

Ready for mine? Makes me feel like a horrible person!

DH and I are going to WDW in 2 weeks and I realized I might be pregnant (it's about a week too early to test)! Exciting, yeah somewhat...

but I really hope I'm not. Because I want to ride Space Mountain, RNRC, and Kali River Rapids

I mean, if I am... We'll do the preggo version of WDW. BUT the point of our trip was to have our last DW trip before babies come along............

Hope things work out for you either way- having a child is a personal decision and there is nothing wrong with feeling ambivalent about a pregnancy( or possible pregnancy) at first.

I knew some of the more rabid mommy freaks were going to attack when I saw your post.

Ugh, yeah. But my beef with strollers is the fact that a lot of parents unapologetically use them as battering rams. If only had a nickel for every bruise on my legs or dirty looks from offended parents who want me out of their way...

Sorry but you should feel like a horrible person. QUOTE]

What a terrible thing to say.

 

[lilosurf11]

1) I don't get the excitement over a Dole Whip.
2) I dislike riding splash mountain because I always feel like I will fall out of the seat during the drop
3) I still call DTD "The Village"
4) I enjoy CoP...
5) I LOVE Lilo and Stitch, but find SGA boring
6) I'm short, but I always duck during Space Mountain (I'm afraid I'll get taken out by the track...

What a terrible thing to say.

I agree 110%!
Congrats on the baby, if there really is one along the way. Once you have children, they do put some restrictions on your current lifestyle, but it's something we happily do for the ones we love. (It's also a great excuse to go to Disney more often!)

Sorry I'm not a mommy freak, I'm a dad that thinks having a baby out weighs going on Space Mountain. Besides, I was just agreeing with her.

Good grief. She said if it did turn out she was pregnant she would be careful on the trip -- just that she wasn't quite ready yet so she hoped it wasn't happening just yet. Sheesh. How does that make her horrible? She's being honest and realistic and not hurting anyone.

Aston7, read her post I was just agreeing with her and you're right, she isn't quite ready

Wow! God forbid that once a woman becomes pregnant they have any thought for their enjoyment! They are going to be a terrible Mom because they were hoping to get in one last ride on their favs!

Everyone (us parents included) want things sometimes.

I hope that you get to enjoy your last hurrah and are blessed with your pregnancy soon after.

If not, there is always baby swap next year

I don't like to search for hidden Mickey's. It seems like a waste of time.

I don't care to go on a cruise.

I don't understand why some people hate Disney World!

Yes, MGM will always beMGM to me.

I hate turkey legs!

I've never ridden Kali River, squishy shoes are not good.


I love churros and Mrs Potts ice cream.

Lilo & Stich do not fit in as DIsney characters.

The Aladdin parade from the mid 90's at MGM is the best parade they have ever had there.

I would love to go to WDW for a whole week ALONE!! Does this make me a bad grandma??


Pirata Y El Perica should be open all year long.

 

[LGH1946]

People in wheelchairs would rather be able to walk, believe me. Try to keep you kids from running in front of us. I'm not fussing at all. I have grandchildren who have done that many times . I really try to be as careful as I can. I love WDW so much and it is really hard to know I will never be able to walk around there again.

Well, in that case your opinion is even more invalid. Not every woman approaches pregnancy the same way..some get scared at first, it's an enormous strain on your body, and lifestyle. That's a pet peeve of mine, people who think they get a say in a womans pregnancy...you don't, especially when that woman isnt your wife.And your post was hostile.

While we're on the topic of pregnancy, I once saw someone working on that outdoors on Disney property. Shameful secret? No. There was a crowd, confused and trying to understand what bad news she received, or if she was injured, and why she was making certain whimpers and being consoled by the man behind her, and then someone yelled SECURITY and then we were all like "Ohhhhhh".

My shameful secret: For many years now I've grown up and Disney does not impress me with the fantasy and magic like it used to. While I still enjoy the atmosphere, I am more impressed by the operations and would rather be a part of the magic than a guest, to maybe try and make it special for someone else.

Oh, and I don't really care for most of the food I've had on the resort. I'll eat it, I like it, I wouldn't go out of my way for it. I mean seriously, the turkey leg tastes like bland ham and not as smoky as it used to, and if it weren't just a lot of meat on a stick I wouldn't bother getting it. A man needs his protien.

I also feel the quality has diminished a lot in many places, and feel bad that if it were not Disney, I probably would not bother going back, and then I feel bad that I feel bad about that because I shouldn't have to feel bad that I feel bad about feeling bad.


WOOOOO glad I got all that off my chest. I'm going to go have a mojito, anyone else want a mojito? I like the way that sounds, mow-heee-toe, rolls off the tongue, mow-heeee-toe.

 

[walkdmc]

1. I really dislike the Polynesian. It's old and dark.
2. The parades get in my way.
3. I don't understand why adults seek out characters.
4. I don't like Mickey's Toontown Fair.
5. I'd rather pay over $200 for my family to eat at a character meal (for the kids, of course), then wait 20 or more minutes to get a photo of them in the parks.
6. I think a lot of the princesses are not very....um....well...just not what I expected.
7. I don't think the monorail smells bad, as was described numerous times on the DIS.
8. I think the DISboards can contribute to significant pre-trip anxiety, with all the complaining about everything from rooms to tour groups. But I still read.

 

[Sunset_Princess]

AK is my least fave park but I will go and do a few rides/shows there.

I think the Nemo show is just silly.

I have seen Fantasmic at least 70 times (but I used to work at Fantasmic so it is understandable).. but I would happily watch it another 70 times.

I have never had a Dole whip... but it is on my list for this vacation.

I have never been to Typhoon Lagoon... another thing on the list for this time!

Sorry but you should feel like a horrible person. A child is a precious gift! Disney through the eyes of your child cannot be beat! Just saying

I am sorry you feel that way about me. This thread is after all, "shameful secrets". I do believe my future children will all be amazing and precious gifts. I'm embarrassed for you, that you spoke to me in that manner. Even if you were "agreeing with me". So rude.

Hope things work out for you either way- having a child is a personal decision and there is nothing wrong with feeling ambivalent about a pregnancy( or possible pregnancy) at first.

I knew some of the more rabid mommy freaks were going to attack when I saw your post.

You are so right. I spoke to my mom about this and she told me that with her first baby (me!) she had some ambivalent feelings, too. It comes with the course of a surprise pregnancy! If I were pregnant (found out I'm not), we would completely change our touring plans! Baby does outweigh space mountain, but I am still allowed to feel disappointed. Thanks for your encouraging words.


Besides, found out I'm not prego. And was very disappointed. I was somewhat surprised, but DH and I were excited for possible baby bouncing around in my womb regardless of our Disney plans.

Space mountain or not. Babies will come... I just need to be patient. But for now-- onto space mountain in 14 days!!!! and I might get a margarita.

 

[jaci-h]

you're right, she isn't quite ready

Unfortunately, you don't have a right to judge whether I'm ready or not based on one thing I say on an online forum. Have a nice day.

 

[Mardi Grogs]

I love DinoLand U.S.A., it's one of my favorite themed lands in all of WDW. Disboards folk apparently hate it with a passion.

When I go on vacation to Disney I usually won't tell my co-workers, I'll make up a cousin's wedding or something as my reason for taking time off.

 

[ToddRN]

i actually like traveling solo to WDW. I'm a critical care nurse(love it!), and after all the running at work, non-stop "bosses" all day long... going at my own pace at the happiest place on earth is awesome!!!
