Lightbulb WDW Acronyms

Hey everyone! Just recently, I've seen a lot of newbies asking people to explain their Disney acronyms. (Okay, I've gotten stumped once or twice, too.) So, I thought it would be nice of us to all list one or two...or a few of our favorites, so others can educate themselves. I will begin with a few of my favorites.

TTA-Tomorrowland Transit Authority
BTMR-Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
POTC-Pirates of the Carribean
HM-Haunted Mansion

(I expect all of you guys with a couple thousand posts to contribute generously. )

A Couple of Notes

Emoticons - Emoticons: Punctuation signs that are arranged within text in such a way as to display the simulation of a face when viewed by turning your head to one side. Inserted into text to relay a facial expression or emotion/attitude to match the text, softens the text to "humanize" it somewhat and make it seem less harsh, less blunt, offered as friendly advice, etc., or to relay how news/information affects the writer.

:-) or - Happy/smiling
:-( or :-( - Sad/frowning/disappointment
- Very happy/Very big grin
:-/ - Skepticism/not feeling great
;-) or - Winking and smiling/in-joke or joking or teasing
:-| - Ambivalence/Not pleased
