Your Family's Personal WDW 'Slang'

[John]

When we visit, eating is a big part of our vacation. All though we are not big people We love to visit different resturants etc. At home after a big meal we refer to being full as being "Disney Full".

Rockin Rollercoaster--Aerosmith

I thought everyone did this. But recently I've heard many people around the park saying "Rockin Rollercoaster." Kind of a mouthful to me.

 

[Kristamouse]

Monorail the man-o-rail, our then 2 DS's name for his fav ride that year
Pep-______/Epcot
Yeti Mountian
Lego World/DTD
Hawaii, as in can we go back and eat in Hawaii/Ohana?
Walt Disney World in general is call Dee Dub...my cousin and her husband called it that as a code word so the kids didn't know about a susprise trip. Now all trips to WDW are to Dee Dub.
So we go to Dee Dub and ride the man-o-rail from Pep ______ to eat dinner in Hawaii.

I always nickname/shorten everything so I probably have a lot more but the ones that come to mind are:

DHS- MGM

when I was 4 I would call big thunder mountain the roller coaster train ride, so that stuck

and for Tower of Terror we call it ToT have have this little hand symbol where we make T's with our fingers, lol

 

[mickey2008.1]

My kids call Splash Mountain, Splash Martin
My wife calls Test Track, Fast track

It's always funny to hear them say it, and they do it on purpose now.:ROFLOL:

 

[kprena19]

when my little sister was a toddler she used to call the monorail 'boaty' she would be like 'i wanna ridey that boaty' lol too cute we still call it that :ROFLOL:

 

[foreverbelle]

Ah yes. We have some standards and then not...

The Poly-The Polynesian
Earl-Earl of Sandwich
Golf Ball-Spaceship Earth
The Boat ride-The Gran Fiesta Tour w/3 caballeros

Last year little man decided the Boat ride was his absolute favorite. It took us forever to figure out which boat ride he was referring to...but now that's all I can see...

 

[ann0d]

MY hubby calls the whole place The Money Pit:ROFLOL:

 

[King Capybara 77]

We have several here
Snow white (r.i.p) is called snow whites scary s@$!
It will always remain MGM to me
when listening to the wishes cd the word wishes is always shouted as loud as possible (dont quite know why )
soaring is called snorin

There are more but can't remember them right now

 

[I_heart_Tigger]

We started calling Mickey's PhilharMagic "Mick & Phil's" after we overheard a woman telling her family (via walki-talkie) that she would meet them at Mickey and Phil Are Magic.

 

[riverscu0m0]

Philharmagic

MGM (I refuse to not call it MGM.)
Nahtazu is animal kingdom
Mom still calls it Epcot Center
The Garden, is the livin with the land ride through the greenhouse.( This gets confusing though since I'm a big Boston Bruins fan and they also play at the garden.:lol
My dad calls it Fast track too!
Everytime anyone even mentions Kissimmee my dad yells out "Kissimmee you fool! My father, is an odd man.

 

[Disneydreamer23]

[MattC]

MY hubby calls the whole place The Money Pit:ROFLOL:

[msmit002]

So for the last 10+ years (and likely for every future visit), an ice cream cookie sandwich is always referred to as "a Lewis."

Fantastic!:lol:
