What's your darkest Disney secret?

As a cast member, we always parked at the Poly to ride the Rail to MK.
We would use the pools at the resorts.
I know how to take full advantage of "Instant Guest Recovery".
I know enough people still working there to get fastpasses for just about everything ( there is a secret underground cast member fast pass trading organization..)

few more:

I strongly dislike AA and wish they would build an attraction that represented America in a more diverse and exciting way and not some presidents show... BORING and HoP kicks its flask.

Everytime I watch Wishes, I can't help but analyze every firework and ask myself "I wonder how much that cost!"

I wouldn't mind BTMRR being gone.... :lookaroun

I'd like LOST island better on TSI

I've never been to Rafiki's Planet Watch

Even though I know the whole Dinosaur ride, I still have a terrified look on my face during every picture

Just from seeing the stores on the bay, Boardwalk looks like a tacky hotel

1) AA is excellent and is definitely not "some president's show" it's interesting and really reminds a person of the great ideals America was built on.

2) The Boardwalk is themed to reflect the oldtime seashore Boardwalks that were by nature very "tacky" but also fun. I've stayed at the Boardwalk and it was great the theming was excellent and the feel you got brought you back to that simpler time where people were easier to please and didn't act so entitled.

I've been doing the Poly to MK thing for 10 years. But what is this Instant Guest Recovery thing and the underground organization?:shrug:

I love to get really drunk at our room at Pop Century and then wander down to the concourse area for burgers and pizza and while I am waiting on my pizza I make a bunch of drunken Disney purchases in the gift shop....and I regret none of them!

I also find AA to be extremely bombastic and over the top at the ending.

I always drink a bunch of funny-tasting soda at this little place in Epcot, and then sneak out without paying!

I skip the the show at Test Track, hint the door out to queue is never locked.

I have used fast passes from last year.

Sold my EMH wrist band for big bucks.

Never bought a new resort mug since my first visit yet never was thirsty.

I LOVE the Boardwalk and never want to stay anywhere else!

the last time I rode Space Mountain I declared that it was now on the Murdock list - I'm just to old for that ride!
Casey's HotDog + Dole Whip = a perfect day at the Magic Kingdom

Love the "naked ball" at Epcot.
Don't mind the characters
Love Finding Nemo and Friends
Love the redone Spaceship Earth, although I do miss the voice of Jeremy Irons (ppuuurrrrrrrr)
I think Soarin is the most over rated ride in all of WDW and refuse to ever stand in line to ride it again.

Never appreciated DHS until I had a kid - now we love it.

I like AK - I think there is a lot there for me to do, but my daughter gets bored.

And last but not least - I still call Advance Dining Reservations a Priority Seating or PS. Can't seem to make the switch.

- I wish the Jungle Cruise didn't have skippers.

- Or that they'd at least keep their mouth shut...

- I can listen to the tune from IASW all day long.

- I love Stitch, as a character. Not so sure about him being all over the MK.

- I cry much too easily at WDW. Thank God it's dark at the fireworks, at Fantasmic, late parades.

- I even cried last time I heard the song from IASW - it had been too long.

The same magic Disney pixies who drive the boats in Pirates, Maelstrom and the Land...


Hey we all have our own little dark secrets. Mine is that I secretly long for the JC to be less cheesy, and more like a fifties adventure movie.

I know the skippers are a sacred institution. I don't mind them, I also don't need them. On me, they have the effect that a skipper in POTC would have, poking fun at the sights and talking as if it were 'talk like a pirate day'.

I've never stayed onsite and probably never will.
I take pictures on rides whether its allowed or not.
I have never ridden Soarin and never plan to.
Took first ride on Test Track this past January. Its now my favorite
with Spaceship Earth, second.

Add the Abe Lincoln section of National Treasures in the rotunda, future president Thomas Jefferson writing the Declaration of Independence, Teddy Roosevelt sightseeing Yosemite with naturalist John Muir & FDR giving his "Only-thing-we-got-to-fear-is-fear-itself" speech, and that's just about how many presidents are featured in AA.

:drevil::lol:

yeah yeah yeah...I debated pointing them all out because I knew someone would but figured I'd save my energy :lol: There's definitely a lot more to that show than the presidents though.
