DCA = California Adventure CM = Cast Member WDW = Disney World ...you get the hint...please help out the new guy

There are occasional other ones, but those are usually specified within the thread, as they usually aren't assumed to be common knowledge. There are always other abbreviations for other parks, since they have different attractions, but I think most of the main ones for DLR have been covered.

Originally Posted By LacyBelle ^^^Me, too. SM is too confusing, unless the topic is specifically about one or the other.
