OMG I can't take it any more everyone is just making up acronyms, like it's to hard to spell out Blizzard Beach or Tower of Terror for the love of god just spell it out.
Thinking of going to MVMCP but will be at BB till 4 so will our FP work on SM at 5 or swap it for BTMR or HM or possibly SM wait SM and SM are the same Acronyms how about JC or POC for god's sake stop people and spell it out.
By the way we have AP's and are thinking of DVC possibly setting WL or BW as our home resorts, what do you think? BW is full but some are available at YC thoughts?
The reality is forums like this are a dying breed. There are many reasons why, but one of the reason you pointed out with your post and some of the replies you received are another reason. I'm fine with some of the acronyms, but some just get downright silly and cliquish.
It can be too, just don't play the silly gameI don't understand why it can't just be husband (or hubby if you want to shorten it by a couple of letters), or daughter...
Psssst... This may help you.

Nope. D_ is an Internet-wide used term. I too have no idea why it started but it hasn't a thing to do with Disney.I haven't been around forever but probably spend at least an hour every day on the boards. I always thought DD, DS, DDIL, etc. meant Disney Daughter, Disney Son, Disney Daughter in Law. No idea why.

Actually, none of the examples in your post are “acronyms”; they are abbreviations. It’s only an acronym if it is itself pronounced as a word, like NATO, Laser, or Radar.
I "get" it, but have a much more difficult time discerning it when it comes to the written word versus hearing what someone says and what tone is being used. Proper use of a single emoji at the end of a sarcastic or ironic post would be very helpful to identify that type of comment, IMO. (in my opinion)Great post OP, unfortunately, many people just don't get irony and sarcasm as humor anymore.
For gods sake some people are offended by my post..! Wow you do understand lots and lots of people read boards and never post you know first time visitors researching disney world for a upcoming trip and they come across mvmcp rd emm emh sm hm mvshp I have been to Disney World hundreds of times and I can't figure out some people ramblings.. Lol and OMG etc etc are damn near words today but first time visitors have no clue what mvmcp fp hm are. So this makes the board very unhelpful for them. So make the board helpful for everyone to read or just disney board veterans who love hm tt sm mvmcp ap bw lol..
So it was not sarcasm, eh?
