We have other names for our favorite rides and places.

Yep, because someone in my other thread posted the Big ball in place for SSE. We have acronyms for rides, restaurants, etc. but what about nicknames? I have heard a few in passing and know kids come up with some great ones.

Got any nicknames for your favorites?

My dad said the SSE was the Golf Ball, nothing original but I thought it was funny because he always called it that. Never once heard him say Spaceship Earth.

Simply because I'm lazy, I don't think I've ever, not even once, referred to POTC by it's full name. It's always been just "Pirates".

I mostly shorten names, Mansion, Pirates, Everest, Tower, Buzz, and pretty much anything else I can shorten to 1 or 2 words.

We call Epcot Epcoo. I’m not sure why or when we started! We tend to proclaim “Epcoooooo!” the first time we head there/see Spaceship Earth on a trip and the same but in a sad tone when we see SSE from the Magical Express, on the way to the airport at the end of a trip

My brain is on food right now, so when I read "Epcooooo!" I immediately think of walking into Moe's, but instead, walking into Epcot with CMs shouting "Welcome to Epcoooooo!"

My family calls soarin over California “California soaring”
I think a mix up between California screamin happened and it just stuck.

Whenever I mention going on CoP, my oldest corrects me with n-a-p. That ride is a classic, dangit!

We've always referred to ToT as 'the lift ride' as my children were young going on it and that's just how we described it to them, we call Flight of Passage 'fop' pronounced as the word rather than F.O.P., Expedition Everest is 'the yeti ride', when my kids first wanted to go on BTMRR they (for some unknown reason) called it Big Stormy Mountain which has stuck as well lol
