 |  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.  )
