Unofficially, I have been compiling a list since I have become a member here. I took ALL the lists, and merged them all, and have basically kept it up to date.

If anyone wants me to post it, I will, but it's at work, so it would have to wait until Monday.

Thanks, I'm going to print it out for my DW and DD. Talking in code really helps when you want to talk Disney with someone and other non-Disney people are around!

I've been here a while, and I can find it confusing too...there are far too many TLA's (three letter acronyms!)
