You have much to offer I have noticed, but your elitist attitude gets old. Sorry for the highjack DisneylandDiva

But that is just my observation..

As a matter of fact... you don't have to be poor to be 'trailer park', as many so-called rich people happen to be just that! Look at Paris Hilton.

Originally Posted By ssWEDguy It drives me nuts when CM's regulary refer to Studios as "MGM." Yes, they probably do this mainly because that's what the guests do. But it's wrong. If you don't want to say "Disney/MGM Studios" then shorten it up and say "Studios" instead of "MGM."
Originally Posted By MinnieSummer I've tried shortening it up to Studios but when I say that people look at me like I'm crazy and have no clue what i'm talking about.
Originally Posted By danyoung >...and the proper name for the other park at WDW is "EPCOT Center" and not just "Epcot". Ok, that's a petpeeve of mine.< Sorry, but I think you're wrong on this. It was originally EPCOT Center, with EPCOT being capitalized as it was an acronym. Then in '94 they decided to change the name each year - "Epcot 94", "Epcot 95", etc. That ran out of gas in '96 and officially changed the name to Epcot, no acronym, no Center.
Originally Posted By danyoung >Is it still Disney/MGM Studios? I thought I heard it's only Disney Studios now???< My understanding is that the name is still officially Disney/MGM Studios. There has been the possibility of MGM pulling out for the past few years, but so far the marriage is still intact. Also, licensing agreements didn't allow for the MGM name to be used in promotions. That's why in the official dvd's you'll see it called the Disney Studios. >'Ohana's is not O'hanas.it is not IrisH!< It's also not 'Ohana's - it's 'Ohana, as in "Let's go to 'Ohana for dinner tonight." But you're right - most people think Irish.
