DCA = California Adventure
CM = Cast Member
WDW = Disney World


...you get the hint...please help out the new guy

I think those are most of the ones that are commonly used. 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.

just kidding....I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Most people tend to avoid using FL because of that. Also SM can be confusing because of Space Mountain and Splash Mountain, so that is also seldom used.

I'll often refer to the SMs as Space or Splash.

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

Also, let's not forget MTWR - Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. But sometimes that just gets shortened to "Toad."

Dear Daughter, Husband and Son. You could refer to your wife as "my DW" if you wanted.
Also OP is Origional Poster, in this case you.
