What is your Disney shameful secret?

[Princesssbz]

Haha....this whole thread is funny.....Mine are..I loved the "old: Epcot Illuminations (I'm 29) .I love the characters and force everyone to wait on line to see them..like my sister and my 3year old..I love the parades and Fantasmic and force everyone to wait for a curb side seat for them (and love it when the characters give me extra attention)or watch in general....I heart Tinkerbell...and I think Aladdin and Prince Neveen are hot...I hate AK except for LK...Fireworks and the castle and the music choke me up sometimes and and I used to cry growing up and get depressed coming and going from disney...

Me and a fellow Mommy go once a year without our kids.

I have drank my way around world showcase (more than once) those Grand marier slushes are awesome!!!!!!

I kept my 5 year old out till 2am for MK xtra magic hours (he had a blast!)

Had to be escorted out of epcot cuz we took a wrong turn after closing (got to see the inferno burnoff though)

Saw a lady knitting in line, that will totally be me one day.

Have rode in the front of a monorail, more than once, without kids.

Love the spooky spanish haunted mansion safety rules voice.

Have stuffed my kids shoes to get them on a ride.

Shameful!!!!!!!

My shameful secret????...
I went to Disney World once as a kid (9 years old) and I had NO interest in it at all. I could have cared less! I had a better time at our off property hotel pool! Never had much of a desire to go back.
Well, 21 years later...I decided to take MY kids. I think mostly because my youngest was soooo into all the princesses so I figured it would be something she'd love. Ummmm, I don't know what happened but I absolutely have fallen in love and can't get enough of Disney World. November will be our 3rd trip in two years and I'm already planning our 4th. Magic Kingdom and the parades and fireworks make me very emotional. It AMAZES me how much I love Disney as an adult and didn't as a kid!

I actually like the Three Caballeros boat ride at epcot, alot of people complain its disappointing and teaches nothing about Mexico, but I think its fun and shows you how modern Mexico is.

Ive never eatten at California Grill or Le Celler and many guides say they the best places to go, but we never get around to making reservations, we had a reservation for California Grill, but it got cancled so we could watch fireworks from the park, lets just say I totally regret that decision .

Ive never been to any other park event except MNSSHP, I really want to go to MVMCP, The Epcot Food and Wine and Flower Festivals, and Star Wars Weekends at DHS.

Haven't rode Space Mountain or Space Ranger spin.

Ive never liked the film WALL-e.

Like QueenOfSpoons I have not been to California Grill or Le Celler and like maelstrom and The Three Caballeros

 

[imsoscared]

so after taking a bit of time away from these forums i figure i should get active again,

been going to wdw at least every other year for a bit and ive never been into hall of presidents.
my trips tend to be based upon arriving on a day and the last full day to be at mk for the fireworks.
which leads to the 1st food item i purchase when i arrive is a dole whip
i probably spend 2x the time now enjoying the subtle details that are everywhere then i do riding rides now.
tons of other things of course that i probably should add but i might fill up the whole page

last year we were waiting in line to buy souvies outside Astro Orbitor. A kid about age 12 cut in front of my DS (age 3). The CM didn't stop him and rang him up first. I had a fit and told my kids we had to put our stuff back because it's rude to cut in line and we'd go somewhere else. I was soooo tired and I had temporarily lost my Disney magic. I started crying and I was so embarassed . DH told me I needed a time out so I went on Space Mountain alone. I got off the ride and went back to the Kiosk and bought my boys their Buzz Lightyear stuff. I'm still ashamed

My never been moment is that I haven't been on Haunted Mansion. I plan to fix that in Sept!

 

[TinkTink78]

Love this thread.....

32 years old and just got my first tattoo, it has a Mickey Head in it And not a little one!

Never had a dole whip... Might try that next trip.

I cried at Wishes on my solo trips wishing the love of my life was there with me. Changed that in February, when we went just for Wishes

My Secret is I am terrified of the characters that have masks lol. I am cool with the face characters though.

 

[FOXFIELDZOO]

I think Toy story spin is just OK

 

[Mardi Grogs]

I think Toy story spin is just OK

Amen.

Not that it's terrible but I was pretty underwhelmed.

 

[DisneylandForever]

Hmmm. I do have a few dislikes about my beloved Disney. But I'm not ashamed of them. Should I be ashamed about not being ashamed?


1) Hate is such a strong word. So let's just say I don't love the Animal Kingdom.

2) Hate is not a strong enough word to describe how I feel about WDW's Tiki Room.

3) Who ever thought Sounds Dangerous was a good idea?

4) Re: Disneyland - I would like to meet the man who decided to take the rocket jets off the top of the Peoplemover and move them to the ground at the entrance of Tomorrowland, and punch him in the face.

5) I know it's some sort of weird tradition, but I still get annoyed when everybody screams in the elevator room of the Haunted Mansion. Every time.


Rant over! But I'm sure I'll think of more. Geez, I'm getting grumpy in my old age!

 

[Mardi Grogs]

3) Who ever thought Sounds Dangerous was a good idea?

Believe me when I say that I agree with this 100%, but I can also KIND OF see what they were going for with this horrible attraction. It's one of those shows where I think the hearts of Imagineers were in the right place but it just didn't work. I always thought 'Sounds Dangerous' was an attempt to combine the innovation of 'old time radio' (a lot of old timey radio enthusiasts still exist!) with higher-tech audio equipment.

But I will concede that this attraction fails in every way possible, and even if it was passably decent it simply doesn't fit in in an Orlando theme park.

i completely understand. i feel like kids get a pass on being rude b/c its "meant for children" and there were a few times i wanted to yell at children, like when they tried to keep cutting me in line at the slide at the pool, or when i just wanted one frickin pressed penny at the toy story machine and had to wait for some womans four kids to get every single design. the polite thing would have been to let me get my one penny and then hog the machine for hours.

I fell asleep on the Universe of Energy ride. I was pretty sick with a cold and the air conditioning felt good. Deadly combination.

 

[loveclarice]

I've never been to Tom Sawyer Island--mostly because I can't figure out how to get there!

 

[tsme]

I know most people hate this ride, but I LOVE IASW & the song too! I drag my DH there everytime. Also, deep down, I secretly really want to wear a tiara & dance with Prince Charming.
