Originally Posted By Mrs ElderP When talking to ElderP about some of you wonderful people on this site I discuss Disney knowledge/obsession with an academic degree. So, there are the Disneypark high school dropouts: anyone who has not been often enjough to know what a fastpass is or thinks you can see all of WDW in 3 days. (or conversley anyone who actually thinks they HAVE seen all of WDW in 3 days) The Disney Park High School Graduate: your average Southern Californian who goes about once a year for one or two day, can get themselves around the park with reasonable facility, and have a favorite ride, as well as a favorite bathroom, and maybe even a favorite snack. (I have no idea what the WDW equivilant would be.) Disney BA: (This would be where I place ElderP, and just about anyone but the newbies on this site) 1st, a fairly extensive knowlege of past disney trivia. These guys/gals, can give you details of what used to be where in the park, and what every bit of lettering in every ride line means, and so on. 2nd, BAs can get you to a restroom in less than 3 minutes without looking at a map. 3rd, BAs can usually give you at least 10 of their favorite tips for making your experiance more enjoyable. And so on, you get the idea. Disney Park Masters: Usually (though not exclusivly) ex-cast members who have all the qualities of a BA, plus a more extensive knowledge of special circumstances and trivia. Disney Park PhDs: DLDug, Darkbeer, and many others on this site. You can't stump them with any trivia, EVER!! (Though they may disagree among themsleves) Anway, that's my opinion.

She and her friend laughed when they put my map and the actually map next it looked exactly the same. Haha. Does that qualify me for a BA?? Haha. Does that qualify
Originally Posted By Mrs ElderP 8 I love mickey 8, I thinnk it does!! The crazy thing is people are always telling us, wow, you know so much about Disneyland, and we're like, yeah, but, you should meet some of our LP friends. DLDug is the one I have had the most chances to meet up with in the park, and I swear it is IMPOSSIBLE to stump the man. It is truely amazing how much some people can cram in their brains!!

A girlfriend got a new sapphire ring that is heart-shaped and surrounded by diamonds. She thinks I'm crazy but from far away it TOTALLY looks like a Mickey.
