What is your Disney shameful secret?

[IceSkatingPrincess]

I liked brave better than Frozen. *hides*

I don't "get" pin trading. Those things are expensive.

Dressing up as cinderella and Prince charming w/ DH for MNSSHP last year and signing autographs for little girls who thought I was the real cinderella, as well as taking a few photos, having photos taken of me, and skyping into the bday party of the person next to me for wishes' niece fulfilled a lifelong dream of mine of being cinderella and ranks 2nd among my favorite day of life besides my wedding.

** want to edit this to say the CM's (multiple) gave permission & encouraged it each time. As long as you don't claim to be the real cinderella that works at disney when asked, you're good. Don't want anyone yelling at me for breaking the photo/autograph rule when in costume

I don't like Hollywood Studios.

I have little to no interest in a bass fishing excursion at WDW, despite the fact that I fish probably 150-200 days a year and about 75-80 of those are for bass.

I care more about the food at WDW than almost anything else.

Frozen wasn't the least bit interesting.

I only buy my kid pins for trading in lots on Ebay.

3) I spend more time on certain rides thinking about the mechanics and layout

I do the same thing on some rides. It's fascinating to me how they can make them.

Watch "Emperor's New Groove"! To me, it's a very underrated movie.

Totally agree! I love that movie. I think I'll watch it tonight. It's on Netflix.

Well...I have a big one to start with, nobody hate me!

1. I absolutely hated my first trip to WDW. It was my Freshman year of HS. For years I had dreamed of the moment I would step foot in to Magic Kingdom, and I remember the day I did, and the moment I saw Cinderella's Castle- I was overwhelmed with emotion. It was beyond what I had imagined, I had to fight back tears! But then I was SHOVED forward by my friends telling me to get going, that we had to RIDE RIDE RIDE, I wasn't able to absorb ANYTHING. Beyond that, we were there as a choir and every few hours we had to stop everything and go to a workshop! I seriously bawled when my director pulled me away from Illuminations. (Being a baby, I know. But I felt like I was missing everything!) Of course NOW, I wish I had cherished more of my time 'backstage' just because it is rare. But I hardly remember anything about that trip other than waiting in 3 hour lines and people fighting over who to sit with...

2. Continuing my rant from above, I have never seen Illuminations in it's entirety. The two times I got close were during my first trip, and then during my second trip. Except that time, my cousin and I sat down an hour early and waited because I HAD to see it. My mom was going to meet up with us, I had booked her a surprise spa experience that day. Well it was 5 minutes before the show, she hadn't called or anything, and I was getting really scared that something had happened to her. So I got up and decided to look for her. Fast forward and I was running all over Epcot like a chicken with it's head cut off. A CM stopped me because I was crying and I told them I couldn't find my mom. Of course...I was too old to seem like the 'lost' one, so they figured my mom was VERY old and had wandered off by accident or something. I didn't realize that until later, because at the time I was very confused by their questions like, "Does she know how to use a phone?" As it turned out, as soon as I got up, my mom arrived and sat down with Ryan. She'd left her phone at the resort, and Ryan didn't have one to tell me she was with him....They loved Illuminations, LOL.

3. I don't like Peter Pan's Flight, I have no idea why the line is so long.

4. Since they opened New Fantasyland...I spend most of my time going back to where Gaston does his meet and greets, because I love interacting with him more than anything. And when I say 'going back', I mean, to check and see if there is a new Gaston out...so that I can meet with him for the first time too. (I have a problem.)

5. I'm really loud, and the first time I went to Turtle Talk with Crush, I got so excited and in to it that when he asked a question, I was louder than everyone else. (The question being, "What is THIS?" When a female bathing suit top landed on him.) Well, unlike all the little kids who said, "swimsuit!" I yelled out, "BIKINI TOP" without thinking that was a strange term. And so when Crush was like, "Right on, right on....what's a bikini top?" All of the parents were really appalled and I felt so awkward. I didn't know that was a 'bad' term???

My secret is secretly hate my husbands touring style. He wants always go go go. And always to the places and rides he likes. Plus he gets a vacation temper on him. Ugh Anyone remember that scene in the original Vacation movie with Chevy Chase? when they are looking at the Grand Canyon and he looks for 3 seconds he says yep lets go. That's my husband. He wants to go so much I feel like we are missing out. One of my best memories of epcot was when he went back to the resort for a nap. The kids and I went on spaceship earth and figment as many times as we wanted. Now I love my husband but sometimes I feel like it's his vacation and we just go along for the ride. I also have another secret from him. I usually let everyone pick a place to eat and then we agree on the others. Well he picks the most boring places for kids as all our meals so there have been times I give him his #1 pick and tell him the others are booked.

Omg! Same with DH! Before each trip, I think "this time will be better!" And each time we get home and I think, "I wish I'd gone with someone else." I love my DH, and he insists he loves WDW and has fun when we go, but he never acts like it! I feel like I spend the whole time watching him like he's a 5 year old that's going to tire and need a nap. "Hun, you thirsty? Let's get some drinks. How about an ice cream? No? Hmmm....you seem warm, want to go back to the hotel for a swim break?!" And he never rides a ride twice in one visit! And I'm like "but it's only a 5 min wait for ToT....we HAVE to ride it again! On principle!" But no! Lol silly DH!

You BOTH totally made my day and gave me a much needed reminder that my DH must be an awesome Disney traveling companion. Does whatever I have planned and never complains. Rides whatever, DD wants. Eats wherever I pick (although I do know his favorites) However, he does have an alarm clock in his stomach and if he needs a snack or something to eat, I say nothing! LOL Thanks for sharing this!

Five trips and I have never been on Peter pan flight. The line is always past that point of acceptability for me lol. Fp+ this trip!

You must get a fast past first thing for Peter Pan's Flight.

I will for sure! See what I've been missing

 

[nealfreakinporter]

I will for sure! See what I've been missing

Buckle up! And wow... You all make me feel blessed. We walked up to Peter Pans Flight, and the wait was only 20 minutes...but even better...a couple gave us their fast passes. I didn't realize HOW lucky we ended up, getting on so quickly , let alone getting on it at all!

3 Disney Parks down and so many days in the park I can no longer count them, and my shameful secrets

- I've never had a dole whip
- My trip is in 130 days & I booked all my ADRs from work and done most of my planning from there as well. (Not my fault for the 17 hour time difference!)
- I don't tell anyone about my Disney obsession until I see them with a Disney trinket or hear them talk about their trip to Disney. (I bought my boss <DVC owner> a copy of Passporter and he learned what I meant when I told him he was doing it wrong. I then passed him this website for his wife
- I miss the old Figment ride
- I preferred solo touring, then I met DBF, who CARS & Disney took me to DL/DCA for our 2nd date. (2 year anniversary trip listed below!)

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

Oh me too! I would love to have the "loop" that plays on the TV in the resort rooms!

 

[Stacy's a freak]

I have a new shameful secret. HFiance and I are going on our honeymoon, two days of which will be at Disneyland. I have only been to WDW (many times) but never with him. He went to WDW once and only went to Epcot and MGM/HS and liked both but wasn't over the moon like most of us here. Anyway, I am VERY excited about DL and I have been trying to make him understand - or warn him - what it might be like for me. So...

(1) I am deathly afraid it will rain and he will want to stay inside, and (2) I am afraid he will not understand my Crazed Disney Side and will regret marrying me! I have explained to him that I am WAY excited to the point of happy tears and he claims to get it ... but I just don't think he truly gets it - or won't until he sees me on Main Street in Disneyland.

It will be your Honeymoon. He should be so twiterpated that he finds your Crazed Disney Side to be adorable and choose to be charmed by it!

Congrats on getting married. You will love DLR, and it rarely rains there.

I hate soarin and space mountain
I think Tower of terror has went downhill
I've never tried this dole whip thing eveyone talks about

I don't like bambi

 

[911Guy203]

I hated Animal Kingdom until my 4th or 5th visit.

I despise the coffee that Disney provides at their resorts. For the prices you pay I expect more than a hot vat of Sanka.

We've taken our son to WDW 3 times now and he's yet to ride the Jungle Cruise, Walk the Swiss Family Treehouse, or ride Splash Mountain.

I've been to Disney 10+ times and have never been on Tom Sawyer Island. Nor have I seen Fantasmic.

My wife detests the Polynesian Resort. The only time we go there is for breakfast once per trip at Kona.

And for my darkest secret I'm dying to visit Disney all by myself so I can do what I want, when I want and not have to answer to anyone.

I've been to Disney 10+ times and have never been on Tom Sawyer Island. Nor have I seen Fantasmic. - Finally got to the island last November on our 12th trip. The kids loved it and even played checkers with 12yo.
My wife detests the Polynesian Resort. The only time we go there is for breakfast once per trip at Kona.-I wouldn't stay there, but DW did not like the breakfast there at all! Guess we're not staying there either.
And for my darkest secret I'm dying to visit Disney all by myself so I can do what I want, when I want and not have to answer to anyone. - YOU DA MAN! Absolutely with you there!

Awesome!

Yes! It really is the best. Even if you could just get away for a long weekend, it's a must do!

 

[Tower]

Too bad you're engaged an I'm married Stacy. I'd be with you! (so we can travel individually, of course!)
