Disney Lingo

Walt Disney World a/k/a WDW has its own language amongst those that frequent it.  Here are some common terms and acronyms that you may hear.

Additionally, hotels are commonly referred to by their initials.  For example, AoA refers to Art of Animation, AKL refers to Animal Kingdom Lodge, and CSR refers to Coronado Springs Resort. Similarly, obvious acronyms are used for most attractions, i.e., IASW refers to it's a small world, and CoP refers to Carousel of Progress.

I wanted to flag two other common abbreviations, both of which are specific to Disneyland, in Anaheim, California.

Again, these have nothing to do with Walt Disney World, but they often pop up in Disney discussions, so I'm calling them to your attention so you understand what they are.
