What is your Disney shameful secret?

[annieb727]

i convince out of state family members to do disney rather than come to visit us (2.5 hrs north of wdw) so that i don't have to kill myself trying to entertain them in our small town and it gives me an excuse to make another trip to wdw.

that is just pure brilliance

I schemed and plotted in order to get my solo WDW trip (thankfully dh doesn't visit any of these boards)...convinced a couple of friends to come with me to WDW knowing they would drop out. Told dh we already paid for the room (I paid for it) -- him thinking they paid part. But regardless it's paid for...so I am going regardless. How bad is that? LOL I mean, I DID give up a solo weekend at the beach to be able to go.

Oh...and my friend suggested taking the kids with me to WDW...NO THANK YOU...this is for ME!

I have a tinkerbell obsession but haven't seen any of the tinkerbell movies other than Peter Pan.

I did one better... my son is conveniently going to college 90 minutes from WDW in Melbourne at Florida Institute of Technology. "Oh dear son, you don't have to bother to pack up and visit home... we'll come to you"....

We never visited Toontown...Of course, now I feel as if I missed out on something but what can you do

My friends and family think its sad that I have no one to ride with... but the best times that I have had at Disney is when I was alone.

My shameful Disney secret? I'm seriously considering uprooting my life and moving to Orlando to be closer to the parks. Although, I'm single with no kids, so I guess it wouldn't be THAT difficult, right???

Then it should be fairly easy, I say go for it

I think about doing that all the time!!

My shameful secret is that I have never been on Snow White's Adventure... guess I won't ever, now.

Being addicted to this thread is my new shameful secret.

My old shameful secrets:
I like disney better without my kids (am I really not going to get flamed for that?)

I can't sleep my first night there. I keep looking out the window and often finally walk around before dawn and watch the sun come up.

I have to start EVERY trip by going to the Poly to smell the lobby, then ride the monorail to MK.

Sometimes I don't feel the magic right away and it makes me very sad.

I miss Tapestry of Nations more than anything.

I'm concerned my feelings for BF will change when I finally get him there and what if he doesn't enjoy it.

No trip to WDW has ever come and gone without me contemplating the same thing! However, it doesn't take long for reality to catch up with me! My job (back home!) affords me the opportunity to travel to Disney so I guess I'm in it for the long haul! However, retirement in Orlando IS definitely in my plans!

I am currently working on my Master's in Counseling. We live in South Carolina right now, but when figuring out what all I need to do I have been comparing the licensure requirements between SC and FL...seriously talking about moving there when I finish my Master's...I'm actually eyeing a school in FL to get my PsyD at...

It is VERY temping..... I think about it often. But i'm so scared it will lose its magic.

I think it would lose the magic if you went every week. well that's my opinion.

Yes, I worry about that too. But I have family friends who retired and moved to Orlando years ago...they are at WDW about 3-5 times a week, and their enthusiasm certainly has not flagged!!! It probably just depends on your personality I guess. I wish there was a way for me to do a trial run, like a few months down there just to see. When I win that lottery!!

My dirty lil Disney secret is that when I was a teenager, I actually had a panic attack on the Alien Escape ride in Tomorrowland. I was -terrified-. Thankfully I was with my dad who helped calm me down and get me off the ride.

And my honeymoon/1st anniversary wedding trip, my husband and I had a huge but quiet argument on the bus back from Downtown Disney to the Pop Century Resort. >.<

I fight back the tears while watching IllumiNations....nothing like seeing a 6'4 230 lb dude in Metal shirts whimper over a fireworks show....

You and my husband could be twins

It's when they officially open the park for the day.

I used some of my retirement money to go on our last trip. I figured that my kids are only young once, who needs to retire
