What is your Disney shameful secret?

[Anesthesia Fine]

I am afraid to go into the Tom Sawyer caves! I have done it but at a run ... I'm still afraid of the dark.

I tried that for the first time in years and freaked out.

Um, I also maybe misread the sign on that bridge on Tom Sawyer Island and, uh, went across it the wrong way. I was mortified.

Here's one of mine. I've never even been on Tom Sawyer Island. As a kid, I was afraid of the boats. Now, I just never take the time to do it.

It's actually really cute over there. If it's not awfully hot, it's a nice break to wander around and explore little things. My step kids have never been to Disney but I think they will really enjoy it when we finally go - as long as they aren't too old. They're 10 and 13 now and I know they would both like it and I wouldn't worry about them getting lost or away from us at these ages.

Wow, this thread has been going since 2008 and I still haven't seen Dumbo. Is it really worth it after all this time?

Dumbo is always fun just for the view. Similar rides include the Tricera Top Spin and Magic Carpets of Aladdin.

and since 2008, I still do not like Rollercoasters and am completely unwilling to go on Tower of Terror. I want to do the chicken elevator exit but my daughter doesn't even want to view the haunted ambiance of the hotel. So I've never been anywhere inside that ride except for the gift shop. Same goes for Rock N Rollercoaster and Expedition Everest...not gonna ride them. I've been in the gift shops.

I just got home Sunday from our latest trip. This was going to be our trip for making rope drop. I booked our first two nights at Bay Lake Tower just so we could make rope drop on Saturday. Well, the original opening time of 9am was updated to 8am. Now, not only did I have to try to get there earlier than we've ever made it, but we had to get there an hour earlier. UGH!! We got there by 8:30 am though..which beats my record set in 1990 of 9:25 am.

Rope drop is just SO EARLY I don't know how anyone does it. As for Dumbo, I mean the movie - never seen that. I must have ridden the ride as a kid but it's the movie that I am very ashamed to admit that I haven't seen.

I find it really distasteful how drunk people let themselves get at Epcot. Maybe people don't realize how obnoxious they are when they're drunk, idk. I don't like to wander around there much anymore because it seems like a huge drunk fest. Bleh.

I've never seen the Country Bears Jamboree.

Oh then you should definitely see the movie. But bring Kleenex. I've always loved Dumbo.

We love the rollercoasters but still haven't been on Mission Space.
We avoid Snow White not our favorite princess
We only go on Small World when my sister is with us, because its her favorite!!

Only 2 of my friends know I am a Disney fanatic, 1 other sorta knows, but I'm embarrassed to tell people (I'm a guy). My family doesn't even know!

I can't leave without booking my next trip. I get twitchy and irritable near the end of the trip unless some sort of reservation or purchase is made for a return. I just got back this Saturday and already have two return trips in the works...and brand new annual passes.

I wish I could do the same! I am always so sad when I leave.

I've been to Disney 7 times and have never done a character greeting. I'm just not interested in doing one and probably never will.
BUT I LOVE EVERYTHING ELSE!

Nothing shameful about that! Everyone should do what they want to do at Disney! That's why I love traveling solo, honestly.

The Lion King traumatized me as a child. I've only seen it once and it was more than enough. As for Disney parks, I was too scared to ride Dumbo when I was four. Even though it looks so tame now and is a ride for little kids, I'm really excited to finally conquer my fear and ride it as an adult. I don't care how stupid I look.

It didn't traumatize me. I loved it, but I did cry like a living human being had died on the screen in front of me. I probably still would if I watched it now.

I'm with you!

My secret is that I hate World of Color (at Disneyland) with every fiber of my being. I think it's the stupidest waste of money that Disney has ever spent, Shanghai included.

Lion King traumatizing? My mother let me watch Disney's Old Yeller when I was five and didn't warn me that the boy had to shoot his dog. I remember sobbing after that scene, for what seemed like an hour.

I've got one better when it comes to Ol' Yeller.

When I was in First Grade it was time for Christmas break. As per the usual, those last couple of days teachers don't really know what to do with the kids because the kids aren't focused and all they want to do is go on Christmas vacation/wait for Santa. The last few hours of the last day they decided to load all the kids into the cafeteria/auditorium to watch a movie just before the buses were to come pick them up. Kindergarten through fifth grade are all piled into the big room, where the stage is dominated by a giant movie screen.

"Yay! We get to watch a Disney movie!" The buzz was palpable. This was well before the days of VCRs, Laser Discs, etc. Disney movies, for most of us, were limited to Sunday evenings and the Wonderful World of Disney, as well as the occasional Apple Dumpling Gang movie at the Sunday matinee with our parents.

The movie they chose? Yup. Ol' Yeller. Who in their right mind would show that movie to a whole bunch of 5 to 11-year-old kids just before Christmas? When the big scene was over you could barely hear the movie over all the bawling. I've been traumatized ever since, and to this day I refuse to watch it.

That is horrible! I haven't watched it since I was a kid either. I don't really remember much about that scene, so I think my parents must have had me leave the room. I knew it happened, but I wasn't looking!

It was Simba being blamed for for Mufasa's death that did it for me. I just couldn't handle it. I still can't bring myself to watch Old Yeller.
