What is your Disney shameful secret?

I didn't make it through finding nemo the musical, heck left three minutes in.
I once had five pineapple floats in a day... and before I lost my job totally planned to do a WDW weekend JUST for the pineapple floats and Dole Whips.
 
I don't think the DGF trolls the DIS boards liked I do, so I hope my secret is safe with you guys!

Whelp, my boss a couple weeks back gave us a sweet upgrade to our WDW trip coming this February (245 days, and counting! :banana:) from the AoA to the BLT on his DVC points, free of charge! Really was quite the unexpected surprise, and we're both freaking out of this. So I've decided that it's time. With all my OT pay I make during the summer, and a sweet bonus at the end of the year, I'm gonna do it. If I can get all the stars to align, I'm getting her the ring, and asking her to marry me! Got it all planned out, as well! As if the 245 day count down wasn't exciting enough, now I have all this pressure to go with it! :hyper::hyper::hyper:

Wish me luck!:cloud9:
:lovestruc :lovestruc :lovestruc Oh that's so romantic! I wish you the best of luck! You better keep us posted when the day finally comes! ;) That is one amazing boss you have! :goodvibes



At the moment I can't think of my shameful Disney secrets (I know I have tons, but I can't sleep so I'm wired, and my brain's officially shut down for the night. :lmao:), but one I have had for ages is this.....


....ever since I last went to WDW in 2010, I've been obsessing over trying to surprise my niece and nephew (and their father if our family can swing 'surprising' him:rotfl:) with going to WDW for the first time. Out of my 7 nieces and nephews, they are the ONLY two that haven't gone, and I know they want to. My other brother has DVC and would love to book a treehouse villa for the lot of us to stay for a week, and in my dream scenario, we'd have them visit us for a week (my DVC brother and I live in GA), and we'll tell them we're driving down to Savannah. When we hit FL, we'll tell them there's a faster route to Savannah through FL (it'll fool the kids lol). Then when we get close to the WDW gates, I'll have them do a scavenger hunt, and just when they get the last clue, it'll tell them to look up, and when they do, they'll see the WDW gates. I'd have to time all of this, and give a little room depending on how fast they read, but this would be the best way to surprise them. ::yes::

I want them to experience the magic so badly it hurts. Their family situation isn't all that great to be honest, and the biggest thing they've ever done in their LIVES is visit my brother here in GA for a week. (they live in NJ) They've never been to an amusement park, never had a solid VACATION, and never had anything remotely close to the magic that WDW brings you. I wanna help them experience it. Of course, it'd only be right to bring their father (my other brother) along to experience it as well, so he's gotta tag along. He needs a vacation just as much as they do. :sad1:

Okay, before I go into TMI, I'm stopping. But seriously, I'm obsessing about wanting that to happen. :cloud9:
 
Here we go...

1.) I am a Disney parks fanatic and yet can never get it together in time for Rope Drop...NEVER!

2.) I am that lady that runs to Pixar Place to get FP's for Toy Story Midway mania as soon a she gets to the park.

3.) I sometimes hum "There's a great big beautiful tomorrow..." from the Carousel of Progress when I am bored.

4.) I have a countdown to my next trip on both my cell phone and work computer.

5.) I stay on property and have NEVER taken the ME. I always prefer towncar service.

6.) I have never watched Fantasmic

7.) I tend to compare every restaurant I eat at here in Boston to one in the World. Everytime we eat Chinese, I think of Nine Dragond or Ohana...Italian? I dream of Tutto or Via Napoli....out to Breakfast? I dream of Cape May. Everything just tastes better in Disney!
 

I know all the words to "It's a Small World After All" and regularly sing it to my DD at bedtime!
 
Whenever I go to a store that sells clothes. (Ex. Target) I always choose or make outfits that remind me of Disney Characters. My little sisters are embarrassed of me because I'll just exclaim loudly over a cute dress and say "OH! That is Minnie! Don't you think I look like Minnie Mouse in this?"

For my trip at the end of April, I've planned my outfits according to my favorite characters.

I did get embarrassed when I went thrift shopping with my mom and I spotted an old 101 Dalmatians lunchbox. I told my mom I wanted to buy it and use it for work. My mom just burst out laughing and thought I was being childish. I still want that lunchbox.

Don't be embarrassed by this!! You are far from alone. This is actually called Disney bounding :D check out disneybound.tumblr.com and there is also a group on Facebook called Disneybounders Unite. We'd love to see your outfits! We also do meet ups at DL and WDW where we all dress up. It's so much fun! I just posted my new Esmeralda outfit.
 
i pretty much know all the lyrics to the Disneyland Fun singalongs and especially sing Whistle while you work

haven't been able to see Illuminations
 
First a little background: I'll be going on my 25th trip to WDW in September and I'll be 22 by then. It's my first trip without my family, just me and my best friend.

-never had a dole whip

-I'm absolutely terrified of Its tough to be a bug. Haven't willingly seen it since AK opened. My parents finally agreed I was old enough to wait in a gift shop alone two trips ago (prolly '07 or '08, not sure)

-I don't get DCA. True I've only been once maybe 10 years ago, but why put a park about California in California??? If I want to see California I can go see it when I'm in California lolol

-I find Illuminations painfully boring but squeal and bounce up and down with excitement if someone merely mentions Fantasmic.

-I plan on drinking on my next trip (first time I'll be legal at disney) but feel strangely ashamed of drinking in the most magical place on earth. I don't understand it.

-I'm scared that when I see the castle in September, I'll end up calling my parents blubbering about how much I miss them

-I not only have a countdown on my phone but also one on my computer, blog, and fridge.

-I once rode IASW 7 times in a row as a kid; I have no idea how I or my parents did it. They still make fun of me for it.

-I have plenty of ideas for how my bf could propose to me at disney. He doesn't know and has never even been to disney. Also we don't plan to get engaged for another 7-8 years

-I have notes on my phone pricing out trips to every disney park in the world. I really want to go to them all someday. But it's just SO expensive.

-I plan on disney bounding every day of our trip. I'm scared of what my friend will think.

-I hate the idea of bringing cars land to WDW; let DL have something unique! Build Star Wars land in WDW. Also scrap avatar land PLEASE.

-I'm sick of how nemo is everywhere. There are so many other disney films that have no presence in the parks at all. Can't we give them a chance?

-I don't get people who make dining reservations for their entire trip. The people that make like 20 reservations for a 5 day trip. We have one reservation for our whole trip (9 days). Breakfast at crystal palace and its a surprise for my Bestie because she just graduated pre-med.

-I have to look up half the abbreviations people use on here. Despite knowing the name for most everything at disney. My brain just won't connect the abbreviation with the name. It took me half an hour to figure out MNSSHP.

-my dad would ALWAYS order a double cheeseburger with an extra bun so he wouldn't have to pay for two meals (1 for mom, 1 for me). We hated it, it was so embarrassing.

I think that's all for now. I'll come back if I think of anything else lol
 
Your shameful secrets were awesome. :goodvibes

A double cheeseburger with an extra bun?? How does one order that with straight face? :rotfl2:

Yes, I too, would worry about seeing the castle unaccompanied by loved ones. Be strong. :rolleyes:
 
Okay so here I go...

I think AK is boring and I'm glad it closes at 5 so there is an excuse to go to another park.

I tell my friends I won't ride ToT although I secretly really want to. I'm just scared of random drops.

I've never been on Splash Mountain.

I wasn't a huge fan of Captain EO when I saw it on my last trip.

I've never done a character breakfast.

And I'm not a huge parade fan. I've watched a few and they were great. But now I just want to ride the rides.
 
My shamefull secret of the day:
I want to be proposed to at Disney World someday.

Not shameful at all! I didn't think it was ever going to happen and SO did it so it fit both our preferences. In front(ish) of the castle for me, and before the park opened (on our way to an 8:05am ADR at CRT) so it was private for him. He didn't want a big specticle out of it.


Mine are:

I didn't like the dole whip
I hated that the cupcakes were cold (although I understand the necessity of it)
I love Stitch and the Stitch ride
I though POR was beautiful but pretty much an over priced nice version of a holiday inn.
 
I was going to quote the "Saving Disney Bags" one, but apparently we're all in good company there. (DH has some from the 80s - you so do NOT want to look in any of our closets)

I am also in the ranks of the Tinkerbell anti-fans. In fact, I tend to call her "Stink" and have to think before I speak around small children and anywhere when I'm at Disney

I too have never tried a Dole Whip- just doesn't appeal to me.

We have had so many bad experiences at EPCOT on the last day our trip motto is "Never End on EPCOT" Seriously. Bad things happen.

I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of any right now.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I don't think I went a day growing up without watching my tape copy of it. The Rumbly In My Tumbly part ALWAYS made me hungry. :laughing:
 
i first watched tarzan for the first time last night
i dont even bother going in innoventions in epcot
snow white annoys me
after 6 trips to disney world ive only seen wishes once :(
 
I watched hunchback for first time on the Disney fantasy last sept..

I don't do innoventions either

Don't really care to do pics with characters

Now this is bad... I don't like the new fantasyland except for BOG...

ASMU/POR Dec 16-22, 2012 & CR Sept 8-15, 2013

Wow! We were at Epcot for the first time last year. I was so impressed that I can't wait to go back again! Just not enough time in our day, to top that off, our flight took off that night so our day was cut short:( We'll hit it this year again and try to get to more and other attractions there.:yay:

I feel the same way about ToT!
I'm a total wimp on coaster rides-was even afraid of the Goofy Barnstormer -LOL! I've done most of them just once.
The only reason I can do Splash is 'cause there's just one drop!
