What is an MDT?
Added those to the list. I am getting to the point that I have most of the acronyms and terms and will put it here within a week. I have to check for accuracy and make sure that it is easy to understand for someone who has never been to a certain park or who does not work in a certain part of Disney.

I have been scouring boards for mainly Disney related terms. Who knew the FF was french fries. The end list will be a helpful tool but not a total all out guide. There are pin, toy, disneyana, and crushed coin collectors who have their own argot as well as different areas of Disney employment. The boards have people who seem to make up their own argot as do clubs. If I added all these then it would get confusing. Tower is a ride operator's control area and also Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. WL can be a working lead and Wilderness Lodge.

So I will now go back to scouring the internet for acronyms. Laugh at Brand X Boards and then wash my brain out with soap. I am tired of the whining I see on them boards. I am also looking for some good Universal and Knotts abbreviations. The common ones not the ones used by two people only on the Fifth Friday of the month.

MDT = Mobile Data Terminal. It's the screen in the bus for the MIM's system.

The list is so long that I had it already but your definition is a lot better than mine. I prefer stupid answers like 10-100 means "do not respond unless bus is on fire". Thank you and now to sleep tight and dream of San Antonio which will be my next big vacation probably. 14 months away.

I thought so. I always used 10-100 to mean bathroom break and some people used 10-200 to be more specific. Alabama uses 10-100 to mean a hot pursuit.

I am not making my list public until I post it here. No sneak peaks except if Polar or Zazu ask me. I am also looking into coding or something to put into the list that would show that the list was plagarized or stolen by Brand X Boards.

Hey, Darph, go a few miles south to a little town of Douglas, or go across the line into Agua Prieta. Mention "Miss Lindner" and eventually you'll hear some very fond memories of the math teacher, my grandma.
