As a newbie, I am in need of help. Is there a list somewhere of translations of the abbreviations I keep seeing in various posts?

I am glad to be of help. Anytime you aren't sure of one, please ask. Someone will be glad to help you. Everyone was once a newish person and didn't know, so they know how it feels.

Yup, I had an awful time with HISTA. I thought it was some type of regulation or something.

Turns out it's just Honey I shrunk The Audience!

Any help you need, just ask, Like Dana said.

[WDWMom]

Thanks everyone! It was the family member ones that begin with D that first confused me. It will be great to have this list to refer back to when I encounter others.
