Do you all have a glossary or something for newbies? I've never seen so many acronyms (sp?)

I would love to see the look on my face while I read a post and sit there for 20 minutes trying to make sense of "My DH and I are going to ......."

It's like I'm playing a weird game of Wheel of Fortune, and I stink at that game!

I was just as confused at one time.
I copied this from a post back in Feb.

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
DTD- Downtown Disney
PI- Pleasure Island
DQ- Disneyquest

I hope the original DC member doesn't mind my sharing

Thanks for asking this question as I was wondering if there was a list. I am amazed that there are so many. I could easily figure some of the acronyms out, but I thought DH was Disney Husband as I see several other readers did also :p

I still have a lot to learn about posting.

See Below:)

Call me Grumpy, but I don't care for the acronyms. Most people come here for information. So, trying to figure out how to get from the TTC to the XYZ, without forgetting your DW is honestly a little on the annoying side.
