[mkraemer]

• You address Cast Members by name.
• You know they're called "Cast Members."

• You know where East Center and West Center Streets are.
• And Royal Street.
• And Matterhorn Way.
• You can point out the rivet in Fantasyland.

... you know where tod's avatar is from.
... you took the same picture on your last trip and were going to use it as your own avatar, but tod beat you to it.

[Leap for Joy]

... you drive all the way from Tucson Arizona and are happy just to sit on Main Street, no attractions necessary.

I know an awful lot of these and I've never lived in So. Cal.! My years of going from AZ and from WA have brought me to new nerdy status.

[I Heart Disneyland!]

... you know where tod's avatar is from.
.

haha! Yep, I know that too!

[snappy]

One word:
Annual Passholder!

[tunaman68]

1) Your son's favorite meal in the WHOLE WORLD is alfredo from Pizza Port

2) You remember going to the moon in the same place he eats his pasta

3) You've managed to pet a feral cat while waiting for the train in toontown

4) You know that the Tomorrowland side of the Matterhorn is WAY better than the Fantasyland side

5) Your entire family can recite the narrations from the Haunted Mansion elevator, and the TOT library

[3894]

Yes, fine. But did the first-aid lady at the Main Street station offer you a job on the spot because of your swift work with tweezers on a splinter in your kid's finger?

I thought not.

[Tinkermommy]

Well, rats. We must not be going enough, cuz there's one I don't know...where/what is/was the Oaks Tavern?

[tod]

... you know where tod's avatar is from.

You really recognize which one that was? They're all over the park.

They call it the Stage Door Caf now.

[lauramaynot]

...your walking through fantasyland with your 6 year old who replies, "It looks like their only running Monorail Purple today..." and sighs...

[disneyperson]

You recognize the feral cats and have given them names.

[I Heart Disneyland!]

You recognize the feral cats and have given them names.

Haha! So true! haha! I even saw the rat that Tod spoke of. Luckily...I only saw 1 rat! EEk!!!

[mulansgirl]

You do the "rounds" before anything else. saying hello to certain CMs to see if they are working that day and if it is slow chat a bit and find out what is new in their lives. First stop city hall, then on to westward ho, hit the DVC stands and pin carts last stop VMK booth. Then consider what to do with the rest of your day.
I'm not the only one who does rounds am I?

[PanFan]

You finally can't stand it and turn in an application (I have a second interview on Monday!!!!!!! Hoping for Guest Relations...)

[Dexter]

The cast members ask you what you're doing here on your day off......thinking you work there.

[futurecm21]

Your entire family can recite the narrations from the Haunted Mansion elevator, and the TOT library

Well, I have never been on the TOT, but the number of times I have been through the Haunted Mansion are countless. I could recite the stretching room narration in my sleep! After I was able to tell my older brother exactly which attractions can be found in Disneyland and not anywhere else, and then listing every single attraction in the entire DLR by land. However what really sealed it was when I tried to memorize the Jungle Cruise spiel. Which by the way almost worked. I would have had it no problem, if school work hadn't interfered.

[dznyphreak]

Sadly, I can do/know most of the things mentioned (esp. TOT and HM spiels)

...you know what Rod Serling really says after "This, as you may recognize, is a m..."

...you giggle at people who misname or mispronounce an attraction/place's name

...you look for the white balloons right before (and sometimes during) the fireworks

...everyone asks you about Disneyland stuff for their next trip

...you recognize a CM on the new Vacation Planning DVD (the TOT one, to be exact); and you know what a CM is

...you are no stranger to such abbreviations as CM, HM, TOT, BTMR, DCA, DLR, and GRR

...you know what snowp is and/or have been caught in a blizzard (Dec. 2 lol)

...you post on a thread called "You know you're a Disneyland regular when..."

Wow, I'm so proud that I know or have done/seen about 95% of these! I am proud to call myself a Disneyland nerd!!

[tod]

• Being able to name everything on Main Street off the top of my head with 90%+ accuracy.
• Being able to reel off a dozen or so real names on Main Street windows.

[T&Rshep]

... you know who Maynard is.
...the only spanish you know is "Permanaced Sentados por Favor!".
...you know the difference between billy gold, billy blue, and billy green, and you only go to see billy gold.
...you know when anything in a ride has changed, like if something got moved 1" to the left.
...you've named a pet or child after something disney. (Guilty, my cat is Lilly Belle).

[WITron]

You get asked what you are doing in the park on your day off, and you Are a CM.

You can picture DL in your head and know where every attraction and bathroom are.

[adriennek]

You really recognize which one that was? They're all over the park.

I know which bathroom it's not. I know it's not the one in DCA on the San Francisco street because that bathroom's sign advertises for "Brawny" paper towels, not Sparkle.
