Acronymes
Hi Mickey,
:dazed I'm having a few problems with acronymes, I don't mind reading them or using them but sometime I just don't get the meaning. Could we have a sticky or something where we could refer to it and suggest or add new ones without it getting out of hand. :dazed If there is already one could you tell me were? Exemple: Alot of members is using "my DD" when talking about there childrens, what is a DD?:hmmm

Here's the unofficial Gilman Guide to Disney acronyms:
DD- Dear Daughter DS- Dear Son DH- Dear Husband DW- Dear Wife POL- Port Orleans (POLFQ- French Quarter, POLR- Riverside) EPCOT- Uh... duh? GMR- Great Movie Ride ToT- Tower of Terror SM- Space Mountain, Splash Mountain (this one's confusing) BTTMR- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad TT- Test Track M:S- Mission Space KRR- Kali River Rapids TTC- Transportation and Ticket Center Poly- Polynesian resort (Not really an acronym, but it's confusing sometimes) ASMo- All-Star Movies ASMu- All-Star Music ***- (Don't laugh) All-Star Sports MSEP- Main Street Electrical Parade (now retired. :() HM- Haunted Mansion IASW- It's a Small World CP- College Program (and usually when I say it, it's Cedar Point, not Disney related... I'm just obsessed) DTD- Downtown Disney PI- Pleasure Island DQ- Disneyquest CM- Cast Member CSM- Cyberspace Mountain If I can think of any more off the top of my head I'll be sure to let you know. I saw a whole huge list of them somewhere and I'll see if I can find it again.

Don't ever be embarassed to ask what something means. If you don't want to ask on the boards, send me a PM. I'm more than happy to help you out with it.
Any other abbreviations/acronyms anyone doesn't recognize?

So did I!! Just assumed on a Disney lovers website that you'd call your daughter your "Disney Daughter" since she loves Disney as much as me!!

Re: Acronymes
Here is a list of all the terms we use on here for all our new members who don't know the lingo yet. Thought you might need this primer. Hope it helps.

Re: Acronymes
I always figured DH, DS, DD was "DISNEY" husband, "Disney" Son and "Disney" daughter! I think that is my meaning for those acronyms!!!
