The act of conducting oneself in a frugal manner while on a Disney Worldvacation. Examples include excessive carryons to avoid airline baggage fees, bringing packed lunches into the parks to avoid expensive Disney dining choices, and staying in remote, low-cost accomodations.
We each had to carry two fully loaded carryons through both connecting flights in 3 airports, packed 2 to a seat into a Nissan Versa, stayed at the Motel 6 in Lakeland, and then had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that we carried around all day through the parks. It was supercashafrugalistic-expialidocious!
A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
