Introduce/Reintroduce Yourself

[rosiep]

Rosie:

I am trying to picture a purple house.

Not having success. What shade? And why?:rotfl:

I don't like intense sun either. My Mom and Dad were both Irish, so you can imagine how pale I am.

Kathleen:cool2:

I will post a photo this evening. The inside is colorful as well....these were on photobucket so I had them handy:

Oh your rooms are terrific, I especially like the dining room.

I am so much more reserved in my colors, but love what others do!!

My color love comes out in my sewing, my rooms look like you would expect from a traditional New Englander.

Is the third room the family room? My kids would be all over that idea.

I think I was @32 before I lived in a house that wasn't painted white! When my Dad went to red shutters, that was cutting edge:lmao:

Kathleen

[rosiep]

LOL!

Our house was all white when we moved in.
The multicolored room you see is an large open space by the landing at the top of the stairs. It has been everything from an office to a "music" room that housed all of James' guitars.
It currently has a bed in it from our when we had an influx of company from back East for Zena's wedding. I had people sleeping everywhere!!!

[OrlandoMike]

Rosie!

I love your house!

[jiminy.cricket]

OMG; it's fabulicious!

[rosiep]

Rosie!

I love your house!

You thought I lived in a trailer didn't you?

OMG; it's fabulicious!

Thank you! :hug:

[Saxton]

You thought I lived in a trailer didn't you?



Hmm, funny ... I always thought of you living in a coven in the woods or a nudist colony under a bridge. :confused3

Nice house Rosie!

[rpmdfw]

as promised:

Rosie!

I love your house!

But the neighbors hate it! :rotfl2:

Talk about driving the propery values down! :lmao:

Welcome to all the newbies who have joined while I've been in over-stressed, over-worked, and yet happy to have survived the lay-offs!:thumbsup2

[rosiep]

Hmm, funny ... I always thought of you living in a coven in the woods or a nudist colony under a bridge. :confused3

Nice house Rosie!

That's my second home :thumbsup2

[adctd2WDW]

Just one question... what is all that white stuff?

[ConcKahuna]

Just one question... what is all that white stuff?

Pixie dust. Lots and lots of pixie dust.

[adctd2WDW]

For a second I thought Rosie lived in a snowglobe. Maybe there is something I am missing by having lived in Texas all my life...

[wallyb]

I think I would die without seeing snow.
Especially at Christmas.
:cloud9:
The first snow is magic.
The whole city seems to have a grin on.
Can't wait.

[Mathfailure]

Rosie:

I like your purple house!:rotfl2: Never thought I would, but it is quaint and peaceful looking in the snow.

I also love snow, love to be in it and love to watch it fall from inside. I even enjoy sledding still, but only watch my son snowboard. I can cross country ski, but snowboarding is absolutely a young person's sport.

Kathleen

[Hydani]

Haha Rose, your house is amazing :) That reminds me of my neighbours fence. Well, he lives a few streets away but... His fence is BLUE. Like, sky blue. I'll take a pic and post it one day :lmao:

[rosiep]

Luckily my next door neighbor is a hippy so she loves my house. No one has burned a peace sign on my lawn yet so I suppose I haven't offended too many people.

[Hydani]

By the way, am I the only one who thought dirty when she said this? :laughing:
Just one question... what is all that white stuff?

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Rosie, I think your house is lovely! There aren't many neighborhoods around here where the associations would allow you to paint a house purple.

Sorry, I had to laugh at the "coven in the woods" comment. :rotfl2:

[VinnyDisney]

Well Hello all!

I just thought I would introduce myself to the board. I am so excited to try to be active on a Disney board and I love to travel to Disney World and thought I would finally join one of these sites and heard great things about this one and seems to have a lot of active members also.

I am a 25 year old freelance illustrator and retail manager here in good ole' Atlanta, Georgia. I am not originally a southern belle but a midwest yankee from Minnesota. But I enjoy the mild winters here. I am gay, obviously for posting here. Single. And planning a deluxe solo trip for my 26th birthday in January! I am sooooo excited! Any suggestions to make the trip more comfortable? The more I read about solo trips, the more excited I get, so I am not worried. I would however like to try something more adventurous some night but I won't be renting a car. Are there any gay clubs within a reasonable taxi ride or are any of the Downtown Disney clubs gay-friendly or gay-themed certain nights of the week?

Thanks for any of your help and would love to meet up with any of you lovely peeps when I come to visit. Tentative dates are looking like Jan 9-16ish! YAYYYY!!!

Can't wait to 'meet' more of you here!

HUGS!
Vinny

[ConcKahuna]

:welcome: Vinny! (I love that name :goodvibes )

They closed the clubs at Downtown Disney last year :sad:

There are lots of locals on the boards though, so if you want to head out one night I'm sure we could find someone with wheels :thumbsup2

[Hydani]

Hey Vinny :)

Glad to have you aboard. I've never been on a solo trip, but quite a few people on this board have and maybe they can help you :)

Welcome :grouphug:

[wallyb]

I dated a Vinny once. :cloud9: yummy.

And I just arrived in the northern Midwest from the South. I'll miss you by a couple of weeks. I know there are some gay clubs in the area. I can't imagine being bold enough to do a solo trip.

[VinnyDisney]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! So sweet! I just booked my solo trip last week and I CANNOT wait! January 9th-16th at the Grand Floridian, Main Building Club Level with a view of Cinderella Castle! WOO WOO! I decided to splurge! Already been in contact with the itinerary planner and I even asked her to plan my birthday! She's great! Planning to treat myself to Victoria and Alberts, that's the one solo dinner I am a bit nervous about but I hear so many great things about it! YAY!

[marcdevid]

Hi All,
My self marcdevid. I am new here.
Favorite Disney park would be Epcot, World Showcase...but I'm really looking forward to the Magic Kingdom with my girls in April. I haven't been to Disney World since my honeymoon, so I can't wait! (driving the rest of my family crazy dis-ing and being hyper about it!)

Favorite non-Disney park- we live 2 miles from a small local amusement park called "Lake Compounce". It's hard to explain to my children how much bigger Disney World is going to be than the park they're used to!
I like to read comic books, playing games and music.
I plan to make Toronto a permanent residence for all the time. I am pretty much jokeing 100% of the time.

[OnTheBoardsMyNameIs]

Hey all, hope everyone is well.

My name is Chris from Manchester in the UK. At the moment I'm hoping to start putting together a trip for me and the other half for April/May (it's a trip for my boyfriend to celebrate him giving up smoking, weirdly enough I happened to decided to let him celebrate this in the place I've wanted to visit since a child :rolleyes1:rolleyes1:rolleyes1)

All I have to wait for now is our work places to give the go ahead for time off and I can go into trip planning overdrive.

[RENThead09]

Hey Chris,

Welcome!!!! The board is a great place for any trip planning questions that you have. They have always helped me a ton.

I am in the process of planning my trip to Manchester. Gotta get my yearly Rooney fix and spend a little time at Old Trafford.

Hope you have a great trip and congrats to your boyfriend for working on kicking the habit.

[hematite153]

Welcome Newbies!

Chris -- I visited Manchester last summer. We weren't there long, but, we enjoyed it.

[OnTheBoardsMyNameIs]

thanks for the warm welcomes guys. Manchester is a lovely place, except for the distinct lack of warmth and dryness we seem to have here.

Whilst I'm not a sports person I do pass by Old Trafford daily...it's now synonymous with me going to work, so not too happy to travel by it on the daily commute.

This Saturday will actually be my one month of having come out..I was born in Florida, and have been to Disney World way too many times! I was there with my high school marching band once my freshman and senior year, and in between those I've been twice. I'm actually going again next Thursday, and am supppppeeeerrrr excited! I am in love with the Lion King (especially Rafiki), LOST, broadways, Glee!, Lady GaGa, and basically anything about Disney! I'm really looking forward to becoming active on these forums, especially this category! ;) Oh and I never knew gay couples could get "ceremonialized" at Disney World until today! Its always been my dream to have a wedding ceremony there, so I'm really pumped now that I know I can!

Hi All,

My name is Eric (27). I live in Minneapolis with my partner of 4 years Bert (36). I've been a long time lurker of the board, but always been a little too shy to actually post over here and say Hi!

I'm a full time student and work full time for a "large minneapolis based retailer/ large financial service provider" as a field trainer. I'm the Disney nut... Bert tolerates it and admits he loves it, but just not as much as I do.

We're planning another trip to Disney for Xmas/New Years... it's going to be long year!

So anyway.. Hi! :)

[hematite153]

Hi Eric!

[nyc2theworld]

Lets see, well my name is Frank and I live in NJ and work for a Marketing/Training company based out in Cali. Since I travel a lot for work I tend to rack up the hotel points which makes going down to Disney so much more eaiser! As for which are my favorite parks, it would be a tossup between the MK and EPCOT.

As for my upcomming trips, defintely coming back for gaydays and probably for IF&WF! I look forward to meeting other disney aficionados both on here and in the real world (according to Disney :-p)

[enigmaMN]

Thanks, hematite!

[hematite153]

Thanks, hematite!

You know, I have a friend in Minneapolis who has a younger brother named Eric. It's a large world, but, an interesting coincidence.

I read this and briefly thought, "hey, it's probably the closest in temperature it gets between FL and here." So, then, I looked at the weather forecast and the current temperature outside is -17F. Yikes!

I hope they manage to save the citrus crops because yours tastes much better than the other countries we import from.

I've seen heaters and misters out in the groves that have fruit, so hopefully they'll be good. Lucky for us, most of the groves near me were harvested in December so only a few types of orange are still ripening :thumbsup2

Lets see, my name is Rick and my husband's name is Glenn (yes we managed to get married in the short time it was legal in California) We've been together 20 years. Have been to DisneyWorld 4 times and each time stayed at Old Key West Resort (the units are big if out of the way) My favortie park is Epcot and Disneyland (have been there more than 80 time) I remember seeing the model of Epcot Center at the end of the Carousel of Progress in Disneyland when it was just and idea and couldn't wait to go in person. Needless to say I love almost everything Disney. I'm now taking my grand nieces and nephews to DisneyWold. Would love to hear from any of you about you favorite things to do at DisneyWorld

Nyc2theworld and Bellastumbles where in NJ you live? DP and I are from NJ still have lots of family there.

We are in Bergen County now. But I grew up in Cedar Grove (Essex County) & my GF grew up in Jersey City (Hudson County).

Funny note: We were in West Virginia over the summer to visit some of her college friends (she went to WVU) and people kept pointing out our "accents". It was difficult for people to understand her, that Jersey City accent is strong!

I want to move to Hoboken! The cost of an apartment/house there is out of control. I hate being a grown up and having to think do I want to have kids or do I want to live in Hoboken, lol.

[mjones1907]

Hi Nick, I hope you have an awesome trip! I'm very jealous actually. I'd love a few days at WDW right now all to myself!

Don't be jealous! It's funny, I hear that a lot when I tell people that I am going "solo," they say 'I'm jealous.' Well, the last 3 trips were drama laden, so this time, I am doing it right!

Cheers,

I used to live in Brooklyn. Moved to Portland Oregon 17 years ago. We rented a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, and full finished basement house for less than we could have rented a tiny, tiny 2 bedroom apartment in NY!!!

[janiebubble]

Hi everyone

I'm Jane ... as you can see from my signature I'm a Disney fan ... live in the UK so its not as easy to get to WDW as it is Disneyland Paris!

This year is special ... we're coming to WDW for my 40th birthday, and I've finally managed to convince my girlfriend she wants to come to Disney!!! (she's been to Paris before but that's it!)

This is the first gay disney board i've found ... i'm in heaven!!

[rosiep]

welcome Nadia and Janie!

Glad to have you on board. I must say this is the friendliest, funnest forum to be found anywhere on the Disboards. Jump right in and be a part of it all.

Welcome to Bedlam! :flower3:

[Kennywife]

Hi guys!

I may have introduced myself to you guys a while ago, but I can't remember, anyhoo, I'll do it again.

I'm Anna and I'm a travel writer. I live in Tulsa, OK and am a graduate of The University of Tulsa. I am bi-sexual and am married to a man named Kenny who I've been with for the past ten years. We've been married for four years since June 17. :cloud9:

We live in a small house adjacent to my mother's house. (We live on her and dad's property). At this point in our lives, we are saving to get a newer car for Kenny. I don't drive due to Epilepsy, so I take the Lift, it's the bus for people with disabilities.

We live down the road from my dad and g-ma. Dad lives with g-ma because she has a brain tumor. (It's benign). My cousin and her girlfriend live about a mile away. We are a close knit group. My mom however, doesn't get along with most of the family and she and my dad are legally seperated.

I travel a lot with my job. I go on solo trips to a lot of different places and go to WDW/DL yearly. :dance3: Kenny and I go on one big trip a year together in the fall.

I lurked a lot here for a long time because I feared I wouldn't fit in. I am 'out' to my hubby and his family as well as my cousin and her gf. I can't come 'out' to the rest of my family at this time. My dad still sees me as his little 'princess' and my mom is well, shall we say, intolerant. When we got married, my mother wanted me to get married in her church; one where some of the people looked down on us because my hubby is half-Japanese, because get this....I was raised there and it was my duty. I'll pause for your heads to stop exploding. :scared1: Needless to say, we were not married there. We were married in a lodge that was coordinated by my MIL, a professional wedding coordinator and it was Japanese-German.

It wasn't until Jenn and Nelson's story that I started coming here. Kenny and I have wanted to have a child for a long time. I had about given up until I read her story and then started chatting with you guys. So, that's all about me.

Anna

[RAPstar]

I guess itstime to reintroducemyself. I'm Robert/Robbie/Andy (the last one is kind of an inside joke on the Universal side of the boards). I'm in Dallas, TX. I work at a payday loan/check cashing store as a loan shark.....I mean teller. Single (for years now). Finally doing my first full Disney trip in September (see the TR's in my siggie for myprevious attempts, lol). Um.......yeah. lol I can't think of anything else to say.

[wdw_nutz]

I'm Dee and I live in the UK - I wanted to come say hi!

I joined on here ages ago but was too shy to say anything... So up until beginning of 2009 I was in a hetero marriage and then everything went wrong. My husband knew I was bi, so it wasn't a massive shock to him that my next relationship is with a girl!!

So I've moved 530 miles, changed career, got legally separated and I'm now living with my girlfriend Hayley, who I've been with for 6 months today!! :love: It's all happened very quickly but I'm really happy AND....

We've just booked a holiday to Disney World!!! :banana: We're going from Sept 20th and staying for 14 nights at Saratoga Springs. She's never been before, and we're not long back from a 5 day trip to Disneyland Paris which got her hooked. I'm a massive fan, and felt my heart was breaking when I had to cancel my trip last year because of the split with husband. But now I can dive back into disboards and catch up with what I've missed! :cloud9:

So that's me really, I have loads of questions I want to ask you all but I don't really know where to put them all. Guess I'll figure it out... Nice to meet you all! Hope to talk soon!

I left Michigan and moved South. The sad part is over time you adjust to weather and "cold" you learn is relative :-).

In Michigan, 40 degrees used to be nothing but a rather chilly day. Down here now 40 degrees is FREEZING

[DouglasE]

Greetings everyone! :wave:

I hail from the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection. I live in a little residential pocket off the Delaware River and just north of Center City. I grew up outside of Philadelphia in suburban South Jersey. Have you ever seen the movie, Edward Scissorhands? That whole vibe of that town reminds me of my childhood. An oppressive community where everyone must walk alike, talk alike, think alike. BORING! I also lived in southern Illinois by the Kentucky border and in Chicago.

If you had told me a couple of years ago that I would be in a long distance relationship, I would have told you that you were nuts.:crazy2: But today I am celebrating one year with my boyfriend who lives in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. He intends to move here to Philadelphia but when that will happen is still up in the air. We are two very different people and our strengths and weaknesses complement each other while sharing similar interests.

The bf knows that I am a theme park geek and that I believe no one does it better than Disney. However, we have yet to visit a Disney park together. I don't think he quite realizes the extent of my insanity quite yet.

My family basically is the Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus. I am the social chair of the group. I can't wait until tomorrow for the Oscar Party that I've organized. I'm also excited about our upcoming concert in April. We're doing a rock opera about crystal meth addiction. Sounds crazy, but the music is infectious and great!

I really don't have a favorite park. How can you choose just one!?! I love the villains. One of these days I'm going to change myself into Maleficient for Halloween.

Thanks for letting me ramble on

Anyways..been wanting to say 'hello' to you all.!

I've been a lurker around the DIS for quite a while and finally took the plunge.

I am a lesbian single mom by choice with two little ones -- 4 and 6 years old.

We live in Bradenton on the beautiful Gulf Coast of FL, and make 2 overnight trips / year to the World. April 21-22 at the Poly to celebrate my 42nd b-day-- hooray! My mom almost always comes with us on our trips.

Nice to finally "meet" all of you!! :goodvibes

Welcome to the ship of fools! :)

[Sphyrna]

Hey everyone! I guess I'm reintroducing myself here since I haven't been on here much since Gay Days 2009. I'm the type who likes to focus on things. Guess that's why I was on here so much before my trip. It was my focus. After Gay Days last year my focus was finding a new car since my lease was ending. My time I'd spend on these boards was replaced with doing research and reading discussions on car boards. In the end I ended up getting the car I had been lusting after since I first saw spy shots of it, an 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD. I love it, just wish I could enjoy it more.

After that I renewed my interest in World of Warcraft. I hadn't played much with all my Disney planning and then car shopping. As anyone who's played WoW can attest, it can really suck away the time. My friends and I ended up leaving our big raiding guild and going back to our small guild that contained our alts. I was enjoying leveling my alts and then doing 5-mans with my friends. We started getting the itch to raid and were closing to having enough for 10-man's. We did Ulduar-10 a couple times with the help of some friends from our former raiding guild. But just as we got some people back others stopped playing. So again I focused on leveling alts. Now with 7 level 80 toons the game is becoming stale. Every night it's the same thing, running random heroics. It may be different toons with different abilities but it's the same thing. So I started leveling my 35 pally (now 40) and 49 shammy (now 60). I see my play time reducing for a while. I'll be anxiously awaiting the release of Cataclysm.

Another focus I had was deciding to get a new computer. The release of Windows 7 and it's support for touch, I started to itch for a new computer. I recalled my days of having a TabletPC and thought that it might be time to see what's new. I also started seeing the touch-enabled all-in-one's like HP's TouchSmart line. I liked the look and features but not the power. If I was to get a new computer I also wanted it to be a new gaming machine. Then Dell announced their touch-enabled monitor. With it I could hook it up to any computer and have the touch features I wanted along with the power. I then looked at building a computer, something I've done before. But the savings weren't really there. I ended up getting 2 computers, an HP and one from iBuyPower. I tried them both and ended up returning the HP. It's funny that touch was what got me thinking about a new computer, yet I hardly use it. I still need to finish getting things like my music loaded on it. Maybe then I'll use it more. But it's been a great gaming machine.

Only real change in my life since last year is I'm no longer working 2 jobs. It was really taking its toll on me and with my credit cards paid off I decided to regain some free time.

So that's what's been going on with me. Not much really LoL. I have missed this board and the witty banter :)

[Corbisblue]

Hello! I'm new around here. I posted a thread about my first trip to WDW in May. I won't bother reiterating it here. :)

I'm a 24 year old University student from Saskatchewan, Canada. I'll be graduating this June with a 4 year Computer Science BSc. I have been dating my wonderful boyfriend for close to a year now. Being the nerds we are I actually met him via Twitter. I follow a lot of local people and he was one of them. We met up for coffee one day and here we are going to WDW one year later.

When I am not programming software or web programs I am playing Lord of the Rings Online and leading the Kinship I created three years ago. Music is a huge interest for me. Recently started practicing my DJ skills and listening to Lady Gaga over and over. Also a big Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Buffy fan.

When I am NOT doing either of those I am planning my trip with my boyfriend to WDW in May. Also planning my month long adventure to Japan in June with one of my closest friends. And keeping my eye out for cheap flights to Vegas in August.

I'm very excited to be here and look forward to getting to know a lot of you!

[Sphyrna]

Bi couple, looking to make Disney connections in our area or somewhere where the weather suits our clothes. :-)
:yay:

[berryinDC]

My wife and I are heading to WDW for our honeymoon in just 2 weeks. Whee! We were married on March 9th in that whirlwind of legality in Washington, DC. It's her first trip ever and my first trip as an adult. I was a bit worried that less than welcoming attitudes might pop our romantic bubble so I've really appreciated all the reassurance here. We're staying in POR. She luves animals and is really excited about AK. I love food (eating, growing it in my garden, obsessively watching PBS cooking shows) and can't wait to try some fab disney restaurants.

We've been together for 6 1/2 years, we're both nonprofit worker bees and California transplants. Nice meeting everyone!

[JoShan1719]

Hey everyone. Not new, but never really introduced myself.

My name is Shannon and I live in Delray Beach, FL. I've lived in South Florida my whole life and have no plans to move anywhere else (too far from the World!). My husband and I were married last August and spent 7 wonderful days honeymooning at Disney World in September. We'll be back this September too and I can't wait! My favorite Disney park is currently Epcot, but it tends to change with my mood.

Howdy, I'm 24 and just moved to the Chicagoland area about a year ago. My first trip was in '89 (I was traumatized). We returned in '92 and have been making pilgrimages to the Mouse every few years since. I was a part of the College Program in 2006. My family doesn't get as excited as they used to, so I'm the Disney junkie. Disney World wouldn't be the same to me missing any of its components, but my favorite park has always been Epcot.

[TagsMissy]

I don't think I have ever really introduced myself. I am Mich married 5 years this year but have been with my hubby for about 15 years. Hubby and I are in our mid/late 30s and I grew up a Disneyland girl; having numerous road trips south to Cali.

We made our first trip to WDW in 98 then took a decade break before going back in August '08 for Free Dining, then Feb '09 for the 4/3 deal and that is when I said, "I just want to learn a bit more about DVC and check it out...." famous last words, we bought in that day and returned in Aug '09 with my brother's family. I have completely Disneyfied my husband! It's awesome. :cool1:

I have to say I've found some of the most friendliest people on Dis in this forum and I've really enjoyed reading and sharing stories with all of you.

We're looking forward to a trip to WDW in 2011 with our niece after having to cancel our plans for 2010 due to those darn work 'commitments' and hopefully we may be able to catch up with some folks. Then all things going as planned we'll head to Hong Kong in 2012 :thumbsup2 so I can see where my hubby used to live and we'll of course visit Disney there. :cool1:

really don't know what else to say :laughing:

[hematite153]

Thanks for the introduction Mich! I've enjoyed your participation so far and look forward to knowing you more.

Hong Kong has always been on my "I need to get there" list, but, I somehow never make it and I have no current plans to go back to Asia. :(

Hi everyone,

My name is Kevin, I'm 29. I grew up and I'm still living in the north east of France (near to the borders with Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium).

My favorite Disney parks are Disneyland Paris and the Magic Kingdom.

My favorite non Disney park is Europa Park (it's a very beautiful theme park in Germany with a lot of good attractions and roller coasters).

I'm still looking for my prince charming. It's not easy to find the right one.

I like all the things about Disney (Parks, Movies, etc), reading, going to the cinema, meet friends, speaking in English and improve it.

I love travel, last year I went for the very first time to the US (to Walt Disney World) and I'm in a hurry to come back next september (in California).

I would be glad to find gays on this board to share my passion for the Disney univers and else things

[Sphyrna]

Hi Kevin, welcome! I was starting to think the reason I haven't found Prince Charming was because he was vacationing in Europe, but I guess not. We'll just have to keep looking. :)

Hey Kevin Welcome!

I definitely have DLP on my list for my next trip over to Europe. I have spent all my last 4 trips in England to watch Manchester play, so it is time to venture out a little bit.

Not sure when you are looking at coming to Cali, but the first weekend of October is usually Gay Days at Disneyland and California Adventure. Not as big as the events at WDW, but still a blast. Any it would greatly increase your Prince Charming candidate pool for the weekend! :love:

Enjoy the boards man, there are a great group of people on here!

Hi RENThead09, thank you for your message.

It's a great idea to come visit DLP, it's a wonderful place (in my point of view, our Magic Kingdom is one of the beautiful from all the Disney parks).
During your stay, you should visiting Paris (it's so a romantic place).
If you need some advice to plan your future vacation in France, feel free to ask me.

I'm going to California between 18 september and 30 september. So it's just a few days before the Gay Days at Disneyland. I guess I'll have less chance to find Prince Charming during my stay! :) Even if I don't find Prince Charming. I hope have a great time.

See you
Kevin

[RENThead09]

Thanks for the offer to help. I will definitely get ahold of you as soon as I figure out when I am going. Same to you for your Cali trip if you need anything.

You will have a blast at Disneyland even without Gay Days! If things go well in the next 2 weeks, I will be moving about 15 minutes from the park. That should be very interesting. I guess I know what I can do on my days off.

[Frenchmickey]

When you know, when you'll go to Europe, I'll be glad to help you and share my experience of DLP.

I'm sure we'll have a blast at Disneyland. For all the passionnate by Disney parks, it means a lot to visit the park, saw and designed par Walt Disney himself.
Throughout our stay besides Disneyland, we shall visit Universal Studios Hollywood and Sea World. What are the must do at Los Angeles and Hollywood?

You're very lucky to move about 15 mins from the parks, I'm sure you'll spent all your days off at Disneyland :) and I'll maybe meet you at an attraction.

I hope not to have made too many mistakes in my message.

Have a nice day,

Kevin

[werfamly25]

Hi, I'm new here. My partner Andrew has been on here for months and I guess I finally decided to join. I live in Cincinnati, Oh. We are about to go on our third disney trip in less than a year. We just love it there as all of you do. I am excited to be going for Gay Days June 2-7. I hope to chat with some of you soon.

[OrlandoMike]

What are the must do at Los Angeles and Hollywood?

Just up the road from Disneyland is a park called Knott's Berry Farm. The park itself is OK, but you really should check out Mrs. Knotts Chicken restaurant! It's located outside the park, free parking I think, and its old as dirt with the best chicken and Boysenberry Lemonaide ever!

Think Mildred Pierce! :)

One of my favorite palces to eat in L.A. is the Stinky Rose! Everything on the menu has garlic! YUMMY! Plus the interior is kitschy and fun. It's not far from West Hollywood and all the gay bars on Santa Monica.

I can pretty much guarantee that a cute French gay boy with his straight French girlfriend would be a HUGE hit in any gay bar in the United States! ::yes::

Thanks, but, I'm Canadian, so, I find my inability to function in French to be rather embarrassing. I keep meaning to find time to work on it, but, it somehow always slips to the bottom of my priority list.

And you should probably throw out jeans that are 18+ years old - bell bottoms and white wash jeans are no longer in.

Those would be more like 30-40 years old.

I hate to break it to you, but, other than the lack of stretch material in them, 20 year old jeans are almost exactly same as the styles I see today.
