Disney Abbreviations

[ginadee]

Am I the only one that has trouble with the Disney initials?? I am a Disney fantatic, have been several times and it takes me forever sometimes to figure out what people are saying with all the POFQ, TOT, DH, ADR, etc...etc...etc. Some of them I never do figure out. I would be able to read alot faster with the actual words. LOL!! I guess Im old.

That's a link to a list. I don't know how to make cool links.

If you're ever in doubt, just ask. Nobody wants to confuse newbies. It's just so much easier to type PotC than it is to type out "Pirates of the Caribbean."

it takes some getting use to but when you train your brain it becomes easier

As others have said it takes a lot of getting used to. I can tell you that when I was at 20 posts I didn't know my
PoTC from my POFQ it was a real PIA!

But honestly once you get used to it, it's hard not to use it.
Although there are still a few that I come across I have to think about.

for example...
yesterday I was talking to my wife about our upcoming trip and she was like
"Is the mine coaster going to be open when we're there?"
I condescendingly said...
"that's cute - you mean BTMR!!???"
she said..."How about FU??" and walked away..

I'm still trying to figure that one out....

That's a good point.

I don't usually use abbreviation letters when I talk. I do use them for some hotels, when I'm talking to people who know them. But I use words for the rides...not the full name, but words.

I never thought about that before.

What really gets me is trying to figure out what the abbreviations mean when so many are the exact same letters. Like SM= splash mountain and SM= space mountain.
