spaceship earth = the ball
world showcase = the countries
primeval whirl = my husband calls it premortial whirl
big thunder mountain railroad = thunder mountain

The best is everytime we are on our way home from Disney my husband always calls our SunPass transponder FASTPASS. "Hun, where's the fastpass?"

im stuck calling things by the abbreviations. ie: CoP, Splash, ToT etc

we do call Cosmic Rays "Big Fat Cheeseburger with Sonny Eclipse"

 

[joel_maxwell]

Rockin'Roller Coaster is called: The Illianna Douglas Ride. The frist time we saw the preshow we recognized her but could not remember her name. When we fianally remembered her name, the ride's name changed.:lol:

that is classic.

 

[MIDisneyFamily]

My kids call SSE the "Big Ball" ride, and Big Thunder Mountain the "Runaway Train" ride. TTA is the "The Tram" ride, and the list goes on....they have re-named pretty much every ride I think.

[DoleWhip]

One's that have stuck for us-

When my boys were little they started calling IASW "Silly Boys" and Buzz Lightyear "Light Light Buzzyear"

 

[hauntdmansion79]

We don't have any off the wall name changes, just slight alterations. Here's what I could think of off the top of my head:

- Peter Pan's Flight = "Petie Pan"
- The parking lot trams = "Tramin' It"
- TTA = "People Movers"
- The Enchanted Tiki Room = just "Tiki Birds"
- Journey Into Your Imagination = "Figment"
- Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin = my Mom calls "Buzzy"

Sorry these aren't that exciting. I'm sure there are others, but nothing too drastic.

 

[Brwneyedgirl72]

We call Mexico's Grand Fiesta "Mexican It's a Small World". Even my 5 year old nephew calls it that!

 

[Tiggerfanatic]

I call Mission:Space Mission to Mars. Don't know why - that's just what comes out of my mouth - it drive my DD crazy - must be a gray-hair thing!!:shrug:

 

[cococola44]

not for a ride, but I refer to the nations in World Showcase as "the worlds"...don't know why?? Also, the first time I ever went to WDW in 2001, I kept calling my best friend's favorite character, Figment, "Filament", so now that name has stuck as well.

HHAHAHHAHAHA THAT is the best

That is because TTA WAS the people mover
