You're not a 'Disney World Veteran' until you've done the following...........

[Goofyernmost]

1) chosen to participate in a live show
2) been the only family on a Disney bus
3) first in line at the touch pads (entrance)
4) see an attraction with all the lights on (got stopped on Test Track and they turned all the lights on)
5) last ride of the night on the monorail
6) go to the parks despite torrential rain (it was literally raining side ways) and parts of MK walkways were flooded but it didn't stop us
7) push a double stroller filled with my kids for a week in 90+ degree weather

I've only done one of those. Number 1. That was when they had the sound effects show in DHS. I created the thunder for the movie. My wife was so proud except for the fact that I went up on stage with flip up sunglasses and they were flipped up. She said I looked like a dork. That didn't sound like a compliment to my 15 minutes of fame.

The other six sound pretty close to obsession.

Hearing those annoying Brazilian tour groups chanting. Parking at contemporary all day and going to MK. Watching fireworks from Poly beach. Drive the road to see backstage at MK and see fireworks launch site. Spend 16 hours in a park and can’t wait to do it again. Drive all the way around MK parking lot and use the return to parking road to avoid parking fee.

- accidentally ordered 2 Casey's loaded chili dogs and insisted on eating both, only to end up laying in the grass in the center to try and recover from the sweats of meat

Knew a family that went to DHS on NYE at 8am approx 23 years ago. He told me he will stay until the end which DHS closed at 3am the next day.

We did that at the Mk.....I miss those 3am extra magic hours.
We still talk about that trip......10 of my family members also came. It was WDW bliss.

Back in the day, one week during Christmas to New Years Eve , MK had EMH 1am-4am and the park reopened at 7am! Looks like the park hardly got cleaned.

Good times........good times.
Lately you are super lucky to get a midnight close.

C'mon WDW bring back the super late nights......we all need them.

1. Have visited during New Year's Eve or Fourth of July (I've done both!)
2. Have stayed in all three monorail resorts
3. Have done four parks in one day under crazy time constraints

 

[Mr Mindcrime]

Experienced Grad Night ...... and KC & The Sunshine Band

We love the tour groups in Epcot......especially in the World showcase, really gives you that authentic international feeling.

Staying on a ride 3 times without getting off.
When our little guy was 10 months old he fell asleep on us while riding mermaid, they ket us stay on for 3 rides.

Loved it.

Used the Fixins Bar to assemble a side salad to accompany your burger at Cosmic Ray's.

Sarcasm much sarcasm?

 

[Goofyernmost]

Eww, I'm not eating on a trash can, I am so not-pro.

I do like to make a spreadsheet with my plan though....

Try balancing a plate of Fish and Chips and a drink and still be able to eat when in all of Disney's experience and planning only provided about 4 tables and chairs at the spot where the back entrance arrives. It's a trash can top or the seagulls will be feasting on your lunch long before you get the chance to swat them off.

I don't think the boards owners like it when you are basically telling people how to cheat Disney out of money. I know, considering the cost of things at Disney it is quite the temptation, but it is still stealing and shouldn't be promoted. To me it kind of takes away a lot of the magic.

 

[GrumpyDude]

Quietly utter words of curse when someone behind you runs into you leg with a stroller or scooter.

 

[MerriwetherAdamPleasure]

Until you've been hit in the side of the head by a leaping fountain.

[Lilofan]

Been the only guest standing in the middle of Streets of America at DHS, while the snow was falling from the rooftops watching the millions of lights dance to Feliz Navidad at the Osborne Family lights at DHS at the end of the night.

I mean, his name is El Cheapo . Yeah, I wouldn't do that, either.

No, not at all.
Really we love them.
Sometimes we sing along.
My sister lived in Venezuela for 4 years. We visited her a lot. Amazing people and culture. They know how to have a GREAT time.
