What is your Disney shameful secret?

[nealfreakinporter]

I didn't see it until a few years ago and I was pleasantly surprised. I think it's underrated as well. They used to have the llama the animators used as their model for the movie at Affection Section. Her name was Dusty. I say "used to" because I didn't see her last time we were there and, well, llamas don't live forever.

Okay now that's just awesome! ...well minus... The potential 'retirement' of Dusty the Llama.

I feel very shameful right now.. while planning my FP+ and ADR selections on MDE, I didn't even realize that I ate a whole row of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies...

In your defense, there aren't as many cookies in those sleeves these days!!

But my secret is that in our 15 trips to the World, we have never been to the waterparks...either one...

As a young teen, I went to River Country. I did not get salmonella... or whatever it was.

I have not since been to any Disney waterpark, or ANY waterpark, really... I honestly don't know how anyone fits that stuff in; with all the activities in the resorts, 4 parks to visit (we never skip one) DTD, the time it takes to get around, however wonderful the transportation system is... We never stay fewer than 10 days and I still can't figure out how to squeeze a water park, or Disney Quest in -- which I would totally love to check out!

1. I have never had a Dole Whip.
2. It is very sad leaving, and we always hold hands as a family and take one last look back when we do.
3. I don't like the Winnie the Pooh ride, and miss Mr. Toad's wild ride.
4. The first time we went to EPCOT we completely missed "World Showcase" and wondered what the big deal was. It wasn't until 5 years later, while on a deployment, where I stood watch with a former CM that I finally found out about it...we went the next year and loved it.
5. My next tattoo will include a hidden Mickey, Spider-man logo, and Rebel Alliance logo.

Opinions vary, but I'd say you're not missing much. We had never been either until last summer. I always found it hard to justify the additional cost. But with the DVC premium pass sale in Oct 2012, we essentially got the waterparks added for free. We went last summer and while it was fun, neither of my teens (DS 16 or DD19) want to go back this summer even though our passes are still good.

And as for Frozen, both of my teens have memorized not only the songs, but virtually the entire script! I thought it was really good...but those two think I'm crazy for not annointing it as the best Disney movie of all time, lol.

As far as the waterparks, I always thought if we wanted to get wet, at least we have the pools at the resorts...But I would like to try one some day...I like those "lazy river" type things, just sitting in a tube floating away.....

We at least try to fit DTD in, though may not always get to Quest as well...There certainly is a lot to do, especially when we do EPCOT at least 2x...But will get to the waterpark some day...

My wife and I had free admission into Disney Quest, and our last night had time, since HS closed early. Disney Quest was kinda cool, since we didn't pay a dime. A TON of arcade games....new and old school. But the 'virtual e-ticket' attractions feel wildly dated at this point. Unless you want to experience what was cutting edge in 1996, you aren't missing out. We had a great experience, simply because we were there for their Halloween Party, and they had some fun stuff going on.

Overall I have no desire to go back, unless I had another free admission coupon!

I'm another one who doesn't really like the parades... except for the main street electrical parade! I'd rather see the characters up close and talk to them than watch them from afar...

I'm with you! Once I have kids, I'd watch, if only to see the smiles on their faces, but with exception to the Main Street Electrical Parade, and the Boo to You MNSSHP Parade (which is pretty cool to see!) I'm not running to watch a parade.

 

[LaLalovesWDW]

Sometimes I secretly wish MK would at least once a year have a kid-free park day... *yikes* LOL

 

[ThroughLookingGlass]

I HATE FROZEN.

Space mountain is THE WORST. I feel like I am going to fall out and die everytime.

I never plan on doing tower of terror.

I am a super serious 'too cool for school'/'too punk rock for this' type so my soft spot for disney is just hysterical to everyone.

The light parade and boo to you are the only parades worth seeing and they both make me cry. One time cinderella waved to me and blew a kiss from her big light up carriage and I sobbed hysterically into my sister's shoulder. Everyone was really disturbed.

Sometimes when I miss disney I watch wishes on youtube and cry, but I have a hate/love relationship with kids/people singing in it. It can be too cheesy at times.

Yeah Space Mountain is simply over rated. PS...tip for you, if you miss wishes etc, download the sorcerer radio app (apple) or go to their website, everynight at 9pm they play, celebrate the magic, wishes, illuminations, and Fantasmics. My wife and I occasionally turn it on. Haha. When not listening to normal music, we play the app. We indeed are Disney dorks.

Downloading right now!!

 

[nealfreakinporter]

Downloading right now!!

Seriously this app is so good it hurts! I found myself collecting music from the parks, as I want to find ways to create the atmosphere at home, and in one of my desperate attempts to find music, I typed in Disney in the itunes app store, and bam! Its literally a radio station, and plays all music from the WDW parks, and depends on the hour, they do certain shows, Epcot hour, AK hour, MK hour, night time spectacular hour....top 10 count downs....I believe on Friday night they do a legit podcast type interview show.

Also there is Mouse World Radio...which is cool, but just plays random music from the parks. I personally love the more radio format of Sorcerer Radio!

Spread the love to fellow Dis fanatics!

I guess keeping with the theme of Disney Shameful Secrets...yes as a married 32 year old man, I shower, while playing Sorcerer Radio. By my own decision...not the wifes. Hahaha.

I miss DTunesLive.

 

[ToyStory3]

I miss DTunesLive.

What was it?

 

[nealfreakinporter]

What was it?

I second that question!! If I could get Stacy and that Disney Parks TV channel she does the infomercials for, I'd be a happy camper!

 

[MeridaLove]

Okay, here goes with my shameful secrets

1) I seriously miss 20,000 Leagues under the Sea - I don't care how cheesy it was, I LOVED that ride as a kid!
2) I LOVE MGM and cannot wait for it to be expanded! (that's my hopeful voice right there!)
3) When I have a trip planned, I literally think about, plan, research, Disney EVERY SINGLE DAY until the trip arrives. Doesn't matter if the trip is planned a few months out or a few YEARS out. Yes, I have a problem

 

[ToyStory3]

Okay here are a couple.

1. I fell in love with Boma from reading the threads and couldn't wait to go. But I ended up hugely disappointed by it. I didn't like the food at all.

2. I don't get the appeal of F&W AT ALL! I'd rather do almost anything else and I try to avoid it if possible. To me it's just waiting in very long lines, in the hot sun, to pay lots of money for a little snack. And everyone's holding their plates or leaning over crowded trash cans.
