What is your Disney shameful secret?

[MsTomMorrow]

I thought of another one of mine...I do not "get" people that wait hours upon hours to meet characters. I love characters and think they make Disney special because they are so enthusiastic, but I'm not going be upset if I don't meet them/get my photo taken with them

The line for Jack Skellington during MNSSHP was shameful in my eyes! Hahaha, who is waiting in that line, that long during a party?! I can't imagine these people waiting to meet Elsa and the other lady from Fozen I cant think of her name right now... haha.

I'm so with you on that!

Totally agree! I just don't get it! I am spoiled though... I did the wdw college program in toontown and saw characters all the time.

Shameful Secrets eh?

1) I really don't like Animal Kingdom at all...shall I rant? Yes I will. I think every single inch of that place bottlenecks constantly. Any moderate crowd makes me secretly boil in anger because people constantly get in front of you, and your always ducking at the last minute at peoples photo opportunity. Dinoland USA makes my heart break every time I see the tacky carnival rides. I love Everest, and that's about it there.

2) I have no desire to ride Soarin'...and still haven't ridden it yet. I will eventually, but will not wait the horrible line and not willing to use a FP for it.

3) Lastly I think some parents out there use strollers for childen far to old to be in them. I also think they always seem to be the ones who use them to barge their way through a crowd and have little courtesy for others..


I feel so dirty

awwww Vito... woo woo woo. It's ok. You're in a safe place now. LOL.
1) - I used to feel exactly as you do about AK. Actually I still do regarding all the bottle necking. My last convo with a CM ensured me that expansion and changes will help to alleviate some of that. I also USED to feel just as you do about Dinoland. I just didn't get it... until I took the "Wild by Design" Tour a couple of weeks ago. OMG...totally changed my perception and once you learn about the backstory about Dinoland.. maybe, just maybe you will give it half a chance. Here is a blog post about some of the backstory, but s/he doesn't get into a lot of what we learned on the tour...but it totally converted me

2) It's great to do at least once... I won't ride it again until they change the movie, but you gotta..you just gotta.

and 3).... YES!!! Please scroll up for our little rant about strollergate at WDW... too funny!!

Sure, we all have our dislikes (or "hates"), but let's keep the theme along the lines of shameful secrets Like yesterday I was having a bit of a stressful day and I actually, seriously, thought about driving directly to the airport, paying through the nose (using credit, of course) to hop a last-minute flight to the World just to sit my tush on a curb on Main Street eating a dolewhip and forgetting about any piddly problems I might have been facing at that moment. Thankfully, after I regained my senses I realized that my little problem du jour doesn't even touch some other people's problems I realized how shameful I can be!

Watching grown kids in strollers.
Never telling my child about the character breakfast because it will waste time from the park.

We do a resort character breakfast on the last day (when we don't have a park pass) and fly out early evening for this very reason!

Oh my goodness...I think I have a moment like that at least once a week hahah. Sometimes when I have a glass of wine I convince myself to go just for a day. But...I never do it. Sadly. But I feel you!!! Maybe one day...

People in the "real world" don't know what A big Disney fan I am (and I have my own podcast so I take it a step further). I'm a teacher and one of the parents was talking about a trip she took with her family to WDW and how expensive it is and I just kept my mouth shut.

Also, I've never seen Bambi. As a kid, my mom (who's also never seen it) wouldn't let me watch it because it's too sad.

 

[hootie4]

I have a small collection of Vinylmations and I enjoy trading them. I think two people know about this and my guy friends are not any of them.

Going back solo to DW in July and can't wait!

1- I had a dream that I was at MK. I panicked when I realized I "forgot" to make dining reservations, the panic woke me up.

2- On my first trip in 2007 my family and I pool hopped at Beach Club. I had no idea it was against the rules because we had stayed at other resorts with stay at one play at all privileges. It wasn't until I saw all the signs that we then snuck back out. Oops.

 

[Vito]

Ooh forgot one.

I don't get Duffy. I just don't. The marketing of Duffy in Epcot seems a little pushy. I secretly wish the bear would go away...

I don't even know where Duffy came from or why he's such a big deal.

 

[ShadowKissed]

Duffy was apparently created by Minnie Mouse for Mickey to take away when he was on holiday. Duffy is really popular in Japan. That's all I know, I looked it up. I didn't even know of Duffy until the last few years and didn't know where he came from either.

We saw him for the first time when we went to Disney a couple years ago. We were all like "who the heck is Duffy?" I never thought to look it up but now I might.

For the past few months I keep dreaming that I forgot to pack my camera. DBF bought me a nice dslr camera this Christmas mainly so I could use it at WDW. I've had the same dream close to 6 or 7 times!

I too was baffled by Duffy, like disney doesn't have enough characters they have to make one up?
I stayed onsite last week for the first time in years - there is a bedtime story that runs every 15 minutes on their tv. Minnie made it for Mickey to sleep with when he was away and homesick or missed her...something like that anyway.
Marketing genius on Disney's part - now kids who may be homesick NEED a Duffy bear . LOL.

 

[donnawine]

Your wife is right. The old one was cleverly designed with humorous banter, great set dressing and a fun story. The new one just looks like Tron and Chevy got together and had a boring little baby.

HAHAHAHA! Exactly!!!

I could skip Epcot ...... Please...don't attack :/

I could skip HS. I'd love to catch Fantasmic but it's not a deal breaker. If we were short on time, it would be gone.
