Disney World acronyms
If you’ve ever done much reading about Disney World you’ve probably come across some silly acronym.
What’s and acronym? An acronym is an abbreviation of sorts, where letters are substituted for words. Sorry kids, but this started long before text messaging.
Being a loyal government employee, I use acronyms every day. My job title is SATCS OKC TRACON/TWR AT-2152-FG. Yes, that means something to somebody, but probably not to you.
Over the years reading the Disney discussion boards lots of acronyms have been developed. It was not unusual to see something like this…
We left the ASMo for MVMCP where we rode ITSW and ate at CP.
OK, that’s an easy one. ASMo – All Star Movies Resort, MVMCP – Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, ITSW – It’s a Small World, CP – Crystal Palace. Still I hate having to think about all those confusing abbreviations. As Disney World got bigger the some of the acronyms could have more than one meaning. Is SM Space Mountain or Splash Mountain. Is CP the Crystal Palace or the Candlelight Processional. It got confusing.
So I quit using acronyms.
By I’ve got to talk about my least favorite acronym. It is IMHO.
IMHO – In my humble opinion… Yeah, right.
I’ve never seen anyone that used IMHO that was being HUMBLE. Usually IMHO should read IMMHO or IMWO. (IMMHO – In my most haughty opinion, IMWO – In my wind-bag-ish opinion.)
So, IMMWO I think this thing has gone on long enough. But…
