Walt Disney World Common Abbreviations and Acronyms List!
Well this is awkward right? You are in the middle of a conversation with someone whos’ spewing Abbreviations and Acronyms at you and you hesitate to stop them and explain so you jus nod and go along with it. Don not worry I have got your back babe!
Example:
“Hey I moved our LL to SDD to 5pm so it would not conflict with my ADR for OC. I could not switch that time b/c I want to head over to MK to find a spot in time to see HEA.”
and your like um excuse me what?
What this person is actually saying is “I had to move my Lighting Lane time for Slinky Dog Dash to 1pm so it would not conflict with my advanced dining reservation for Oga’s Cantina. i could not switch that time because i wanted to head over to magic kingdom to find a spot in time to see happily ever after fireworks show.”
Note that some abbreviations have multiple meanings, and some destinations have multiple abbreviations. Below is a full lists of the most common Disney abbreviations and acronyms so the next time your caught in a conversation or trying to decipher a map, blog, or someone’s post you know where to find the answers!
