What is your Disney shameful secret?

[phinz]

Who doesn't like Magic Kingdom?

This guy. If I could choose one park to exclude on a three-day trip, it would be MK every time. I just don't care about it and don't go out of my way to visit. In order, for me, is EPCoT, MGM, AK and MK.

To each his own! I like MK, but not Hollywood Studios. I could skip that one and it wouldn't bother me at all! My favorite is actually AK, which I know is not a popular opinion!

I like how you still call it "MGM"! Me too!

I tried a turkey leg once, hated it. It tasted and looked more like ham. yuck

I actually like Stitch's Great Mistake LOL I find it hilarious.

I cry on the Magical Express ride to the resort.

The teacups are probably the hardest ride for me to go on. They make me extremely dizzy and sick.

It will *always* be MGM for me.

I finally had a dole whip...not a fan...I still haven't ridden astro orbiter...

I've been to Six Flags St. Louis and Six Flags Fiesta Texas this summer. And I loved them!

I have never had a turkey leg. Rumor has it that they inject it with pork fat. Not sure if that is true!

I do like a Dole Whip, but I have never ridden the Astro Orbiter either. I actually had never ridden Dumbo until a couple of years ago, and I am 33. I am afraid of heights!

I'm scared to ride pirates because I heard it's haunted by a worker who died there while it was being built. However I will still ride it for the kids.

Posted before, but have a few more...

1. I love World Showcase, it's probably my favorite thing in all of WDW. I've explored every pavilion countless times, except one... American Adventure. I just don't see the point for me, since I'm living the American adventure every day! I know I should probably be more patriotic, and check it out at least once... But I just really really really do not care.
2. I don't like the Hall of Presidents either. I'm a bad 'Merican!
3. I can't handle the tea cups. The spinning makes me ill. Plus I'm a very round lady, and squishing my belly in there is no fun!
4. This is my biggest shame... You see, I must use an ECV in the parks, due to chronic pain from Lupus and Fibromyalgia. However, I LOOK perfectly healthy, and am very perky and happy and energetic. I DO try to park it and stand in lines that I think I can handle, I don't try to navigate it through crowded spaces, etc. (I go out of my way to be a courteous and respectful ECV user, and absolutely do not abuse the system.) As such, sometimes when I get off of my ECV to do something... I will fake a limp, so that people don't look at me and assume I'm just too fat and lazy to walk. It's as if I need to display a visible disability so that I'm not judged as harshly for my invisible disability. I feel awful for it, but I've read so many ugly comments here on the Dis over the years and have experienced so many nasty looks in the parks, that it's almost habit now.

It is sad that you feel you have to do that. People really should be more sensitive and not assume that if a disease or disability is not visible, it is non-existent.

Just discovered this … I love people’s secrets!

I have a few (although most of them are not super shameful):
1 - I don’t understand why people like Johnny Depp. I find him annoying (I don't know why, I just do). I hate seeing his stupid face on the POTC ride and I wish they’d stop making more movies.
2- I’m super thrifty and big on saving money … but I’m willing to spend money on a Disney vacation. Disney and lattes are the only things I’m willing to spend money on without worrying about the price tag (Starbucks at Disney makes me super happy).
3 - I refuse to go on ToT … because I’m afraid of elevators (I use them, I just don’t like them).
4 - I wish Disney had “adult only” hours. I know the park makes most of their money on families with kids, but … I wish I had an opportunity to do everything without annoying kids getting in my way. Some days I just want to strangle some kids (and quite a few parents).
5 - I kinda want to see Song of the South … mostly to see if it’s actually as wildly racist as people say it is (my uncle, who grew up in the south, still has it on VHS, so I could probably watch it next time I go visit).
6 – I’ve never seen the original Star Wars and I don’t particularly see any reason why I should. I hate that they’re adding more and more Star Wars to Disney.

I agree with you on pretty much all of this! Except for ToT, which is prob my favorite ride!

And yeah, I'm a coaster guy, and was impressed with how smooth EE is! My wife loaths coasters, and had her eyes closed the whole time, but said it was actually pretty good.

DD was 9 on her first foray into EE. She had to go not once, but twice to beat a classmate who could only do it once. First time I rode it, I was dizzy (Damn! I'm getting old!). At DD's begging, I went again and found it much easier this time around and am looking forward to riding it again this fall. Who knows? Maybe I'll stand up and take on that big ol' snowman myself when I'm in there!

I have never ridden it and I am always scared I will get sick or dizzy!

I don't care for EPCOT.

Love this thread. Just spent more time than I should have at work reading it! Here are mine! Well, the first one is not a secret to my friends, but I keep it quiet at the World.

1) I HATE Tinkerbell. Peter Pan is my favorite book. In the book and the movies she is a total BRAT! I can't stand her and I hate how much attention she's given. Wendy on the other hand is one of my absolute favorite characters. I wish she would get more attention.
2) I don't get the hype about Chef Mickey's. It was a waste of my time.
3) When Princess and the Frog first came out I hated Tiana. But only because Ariel is my favorite princess and they booted her off a lot of merchandise for Tiana to market her.
4) I might actually have a weird crush on Chip 'n Dale. I definitely have a crush on Gaston.

This is ADORABLE. I heart Chip & Dale so hard. And I was just last week watching some of the most hilarious videos on YouTube of guest interactions with Gaston outside of his tavern.

My goal for my February trip is to get pictures with every Chip 'n Dale I see. The Garden Grill character dinner is my favorite and we go every time just so I can see them! And, YES, Gaston is HILARIOUS! He's one of the best characters to interact with. Didn't hurt that he was quite the looker!
