Respect… but that’s taking this acronym business too far.

25

I’m assuming one of the rules is also that these must be things I’ve actually done.

  1. OUAT (I liked it better than HEA but it was our first visit, so I plan to re-evaluate)
  2. Dole whip
  3. Breezing past people in standby with a FP I booked same day
  4. Haunted Mansion
  5. Seeing my toddler’s obsession with meeting characters

My honorable mentions:
FOP
Les Halles
All the adorableness of TSM, starting with the incredibly themed queue
Festival of Fantasy
Walking around Radiator Springs at AoA with our toddler when we first arrived and knowing he had no idea about all the magic still to come!

It is a well known and much used acronym. I didn’t make it up or decide to use it on my own

Ok… but more than one person here couldn’t figure it out and have never seen it (and I’ve been here for years).

And it doesn’t appear on the abbreviation and acronym lists maintained by allears… or wdwmagic… or disneyaddicts… or any list I could find anywhere using any relevant keyword I could think of (including the actual acronym and words it stood for!) in repeated internet search attempts. That doesn’t scream well known and much used.

Not sure what your point is, but have a magical day just the same!

My point is that an acronym’s only purpose in life is to save time typing while still being understood by it’s intended audience without multiple explanatory posts… or defensiveness.

He’s a been there done that kind of guy. As tho WDW never changes.

He comes with on about half the trips. While planning our upcoming trip he heard about FoP. He’s decided he needs to try that - something new after all! (He’s 83.)
