With all of the new folks around here lately I thought I would unstick the "Introduce Yourself" thread that was started in 2006, and start all over here in 2008!

You can include your name, where you live, where you have lived in the past, marital/dating status/favorite Disney park/movie/song etc.

Just a chance for all of you new folks to get to know some of us who have been here for a while!

Welcome aboard everyone, and here's to a great 2008!:cool1:

I'm Jen from CT. Married for 13 years to a Kiwi (New Zealander)...we have two daughters, 9 and 10.

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!

Hello, my name is David and I'm a Homoholic.

Err, you know what i mean!

I was born 3 months and 25 days before MTV.

I have been with my DP since July of '01.

My favorite park is Disney's Animal Kingdom.

My favorite non-disney park is Seaworld (I'm an animal nut).

I have many children. 5 of them are cats and 9 of them are birds (2 weeks ago I only had 7 birds, but the lovebirds had a pair of eggs hatch).

I am addicted to an online game called EverQuest. (http://www.everquest.com)

I am concierge in a place across a lake from a castle, and I greet everyone with "Aloha!"

Other pastimes include: Getting drunk with Knox at 8TRAXX and sampling frozen drinks from around Epcot with both Knox and Mike :)

Okay...here goes. My name is Byron and I currently live in Greenville, NC. My partner and I have been together for three years now and we are raising my two kids from a previous marriage. My ex lives in the same town :mad: (that's an entirely different story---LONG one). We both work in the retail industry. I am quite the activist and I say what I think. I love equality bumper stickers and the back of my car is covered in stickers of a variety of topics. We now have a tradition of bringing the kids to Disney every summer when school lets out (we skip out a few days early to avoid the busy time of travel). We take advantage of every Disney ammenity that we can. Always looking for a price deal. Our favorite park would be the Magic Kingdom. Favorite ride would be Soarin'. SpectroMagic is our favorite parade and the Wishes fireworks ranks just slightly above the Fantasmic show. Can't think of anything else to add, so I'll see everyone around. Anyone that would be interested....I have a myspace profile that would love new friends. My ID is finallyhappyserious.:grouphug:

Howdy from Texas, I'm Paige.:)

I love pina coladas, and taking walks in the rain.......oh wait, that isn't me, that's a song. ;)

I have songs running through my head A LOT and I am apt to post them at any time. ;)


I teach second grade. They are adorable little critters that leak. Currently mostly from the nose. :rolleyes:

I am married to a hetero man, though given that I have accepted who I am and decided to stop hiding and pretending, that status is going to have to change. I have two sons, ages 5 and 12, one 10 year old Boston Terrier, and a two year old orange marbled tabby.

I really need some support, I have some rough road coming. :flower3:

My name is Rob. My partner Scott and I live in the Ocoee/Windermere/Gotha area (about 8 miles due North of the Magic Kingdom). I grew up in a small town called Trinidad, Colorado, and have lived in Las Cruces, New Mexico; Lubbock, Texas; and Dallas prior to living here.

My partner and I met at Gay Days 2003 at Pleasure Island and are now planning our "Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding" in September 2008 (okay, so technically it's a "commitment ceremony" but whatever).

We're the proud new parents of Tolliver, the cutest dachshund puppy in the whole wide world.

Favorite Park: Epcot (Especially during the F&W Festival)
Favortie Attraction: Um . . . The Adventurers Club.

Oh, and I have some boring job at some boring time-share resort; but let's not dwell on that . . .

Hi ... I'm Penny :wave2:

I've been with my partner, Linda, for a little over 6 years now. We met at work and fell hard and fast.

We have 2 German Shorthaired Pointers (see below) who give us endless joy and grief, depending on their humor at the time.

We enjoy all things Disney, and will be making a long-overdue return trip this May. It will be our first stay in the BCV.

Nice to meet everyone!

Hi, I'm Jeff. I frequent this board because although I'm straight my Wife's daughter is gay. We love her, her partner and our 5 year old grandson! Too bad they live in Houston. Fortunately, they are all Disney nuts and we often meet at WDW.

You can check out our web site by clicking on my screen name to the left here and then following the link. Lots of pictures of us and of Connor (not so many of his two moms for some reason).

Hello. My name is Linda, I live in Maryland, and for about 45-46 years I thought I was a straight female...married, 4 kids, cats and dogs...the works. Imagine my surprise when I realized that I had some pretty non-platonic feelings about women...one in particular. Looking back there had been signs before that time, but I dismissed them as something that didn't matter.

I'm currently trying to make sense of it all and figure out how to make what I want happen. And how to not totally crush my husband, who didn't ask for this. We were having some marriage troubles, but I'm pretty sure he's not anticipating this and I feel pretty guilty. But I really don't have a choice as I can't live a lie like this and I do deserve happiness.

I love WDW. I don't have one favorite park, but my all-time favorite ride is ToT. My last trip of 9 days, mostly with my sister and a couple days with a friend, I rode it 54 times. :cool1: Don't think I can ever break that record again. :rotfl: I also love Everest. I like the Universal parks, also. :thumbsup2

Hi! It's me, DVC~OKW~96. My name means that we (my DP and I) have been DVC members since 1996 and our home resort is OKW! :teeth:

We joined DVC when we were living in the frozen north. We then got brave (and tired of the snow) and threw caution to the winds and relocated to south west Florida. Her parents were living in Central Florida and we moved here to be with her Mom when Dad died.

Our favorite park is EPCOT, second favorite is AK.

Our favorite non-Disney park is Seaworld.

We're off to the original park DL, this May and can't wait!

We both work for non-profits, so will never be rich. LOL.

We like films at the Enzian, Guinness (once in awhile) at Raglan Road and planning our next vacation...

We've been together forever, eh? :teeth:

Hi...I go by hematite around here.

Hematite is a type of rock and it points to my geology background.

However, these days, I'm a teacher and full-time graduate student.

I live in Canada and have way too much snow on my front lawn--even though it's been raining for the last 3 days!

My DW and I got married in 2004. We have two fluffy kids--a golden retriever and a cat. She tends to lurk around here and mostly gets me to speak for her when she's interested in responding to a thread.

Favourite Park: AK--who wouldn't love the animals???

Favourite Attraction: Soarin'

Favourite CS: Pinocchio Village Haus/Yorkshire County Fish Shop

Favourite TS: Boma/Jiko/Raglan Rd (Le Cellier used to make this list, but, substituting a risotto for the maple corn spoonbread dropped it off :()

Actually, hematite is Fe2O3 and magnetite (the magnetic iron oxide) is Fe3O4.

Thanks for the compliment though--I'm ignoring the "dense" part. :)

Hello! I'm Dale :wave2:

My partner *S* and I have been together for 8 years last month.

I'm from the Chicago area originally and moved around quite a bit in my younger days (Indianapolis, NYC) but currently we live in a small town just outside Nashville TN. He's a born and raised southern boy, but hardly a typical one :goodvibes

I'm 35, he's 39. We both work in healthcare (I'm a nurse) and I'll let him tell ya what he does if he wants to share.

We have two boys; a Boston Terrier named Jackson (ala Steel Magnolias) and a Beagle mix named Barley (ala that's the name he came with). Hence our user name.

Favorite Park so far is MK, but we haven't been to MGM or AK ever; this preferance may change after our upcoming trip (in 10 days!!) :thumbsup2

Non Disney Park: I LOVE King's Island.....gotta love the Beast!

Guess that's it! Seeya'll!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*S* = Steve

We have been together for over 8 years now. (I think in gay years that means we are about to celebrate our 25th anniversary atleast)

I am a southern boy, born and bred and proud of it (except when the southern states vote republican). I grew up near Dalton, Ga. I moved to Tennessee as a teenager. I have a somewhat strong southern accent, but not nearly as bad as some. (I'm also a recovering Baptist)

As far as my occupation, I'm a secret agent man. Nah, just kidding. I work in healthcare also. I'm a Respiratory Therapist.

I've lived in several different states because of my job, which I feel has softened the rough southern edges a bit. I love my family, my boys, friends and most of all... Dale. Dale is "the better half". Hopefully we'll get to meet y'all sometime. ....we'll leave the light on.

Hi ! My name is Sue and I have been on this board for about two years now. My initial post was a response to a a BIG LOVE thread (you don't hafta shake my Hubby's family tree too hard to have a whole bunch of polygamists tumble out :lmao: ).
I am 6 years older than God and have been married to the same guy for 34 years (he is still adorable!). We have 5 children, 6 grandchildren, a dog, a horse, two cats (Does anyone REALLY ever own a cat?) and a totally obnoxious little black goat. My hubby's a jeweler. After a long career (30+ years) in heavy manufacturing, I recently switched to construction.

Favorite Disney Park: AK (it is so beautiful!)
Runner-up: EPCOT
Favorite Parade: -- Don't really have one. Am I the only person on earth who thinks the illuminated masks in Spectro are a little creepy?
Favorite Disney Resort: Ft Wilderness Campground
Favorite Disney Treat: Dole whips! YUM!

p.s. -- I totally LUV this board!!!! :love:

Oh my! I would so love to do this for you (sounds romantic) but with gold spot @ ~$890/oz, I'm not seeing much gold in my future; let alone anybody else's. LOL! :lmao: Honestly -- this is a GREAT time to dig out any old gold jewelry you don't wear any more and cash it in. Hold onto your silver though -- it's gone up but it's not at it's normal parity ratio with gold prices. I think silver's going to go up more.

Um, hello everyone!

My name is Jenni ... I'm 26 years old and my generation consists of 25% girls named Jennifer, 25% boys named Michael, and a mix of everyone else. There were 8 Jennifers in my elementary classes (out of 25 kids) ... I absolutely cannot STAND being called Jen or Jennifer! Okay, rant over.

I'm a newb to DISboards and still working on a cute little signature and some pictures with sparkles and blinky things, so pardon the plain. For now. I've also been told that my posts are usually WAY too long... hey, I never use one word where eight will fit! Sorry about that.

I am currently single and have been for over five years. I don't get out much to meet girls, and the ones I do meet tend to be not so interested because I am moderately to severely disabled. I have debilitating rheumatoid arthritis, and I live at home on Long Island with my parents and teenaged sister. The only time I've ever lived off the island was for two years in college, but I never actually graduated. I had to drop out in junior year because my health had declined to the point where I wasn't making it to classes more than half the time. I hope to go back and complete my bachelor's in psychology someday, but for now I'm living at home on disability income.

I am the proud mommy of a small Yorkie named Sky and a not so small Samoyed named Allie. My girls are the center of my life, and everything -- schedule, budget, lifestyle -- gets planned centering around them and their needs.

I've visited Disney World, let's see, 6 times. Once as a very small child and again as a pre-teen (both with my family), once during college with my cousin, again with my family about five years ago, and twice more solo in the past few years. I enjoy solo visits, but it's always more fun with a friend. Unfortunately, I don't have a large group of friends to begin with, and none of them love Mickey the way I do. So I don't know anybody who can\is willing to take off work and leave their spouse\kids for a week to come along on a rather expensive Disney vacation. I came to the DIS boards originally looking to meet some fellow addicts so that I might be able to hook up with somebody else to split lodging costs with, or simply for companionship in the parks and dining, etc.

Are there any other folks like me, solo travelers who'd prefer to tag along with a friend but don't know anyone in your regular lives who can make the trip? Anyone who'd be willing to share a room, maybe? PURELY for financial cost-saving reasons, mind you. I may be single but the hotel room and accompanying bill would be the ONLY things we'd be sharing! Due to my disability I can't drive and thus can't rent a car, so I need to stay on Disney property or else have to pay a hefty cab fare every day getting to and from the parks, because my health is such that I can't always leap out of bed in time to catch the 7am "complimentary shuttle" most offsite hotels provide. I prefer to stay at the Pop because it's the most affordable (the All-Star Sports or Music resorts are acceptable if the Pop is booked up, but their themes\decor do not appeal to me). I would LOVE a roomie to split the hotel bill in halves so we could each pay Pop rates but actually stay somewhere twice the price. My goal in life would be to stay on the monorail but sadly, I'll never have that kind of money on my Social Security income.

My favorite park is MK, but I'd be hard-pressed to choose a favorite attraction. It's a tie between Jungle Cruise and the Haunted Mansion in MK, and Soarin' at Epcot.

That's all from me... it's great to meet everybody here!

Jenni

Hello, All!

I'm Elizabeth, 37. Straight girl with lots of gay friends and many years of AIDS fundraisers on my resume!;) I've been married to DH for 15 years. We have one DS who is about to turn 12. I am a nanny to a beautiful 2 year old known around here as "Princess".

We love Disney and try to get there as often as we can. 2 of our trips have included our good friends, DS's "uncles" who are a gay couple. One of my friends from high school lives in Tampa and she and her partner usually come have dinner with us whenever we are in Orlando. I have also been known to stalk men wearing HRC logo merchandise just to say hello.:rolleyes1 (Hey, Epcot is a friendly sort of place! And the guys were very nice!)

I enjoyed reading about everyone! Hopefully I will pop in more frequently and get to know the "regulars" a little better. :)

Greetings to you all,

I have lurked here on and off for about 3 years. My name is Shannon and my partner is Tracy. I have never been to WDW, but grew up in SoCal and went to Disneyland about a dozen times or more. My first childhood memory is going to Disneyland for my third birthday.

I am currently in my last semester of an MBA program and my graduation gift is a land/sea vacation in May. :woohoo: So, I am up for any suggestions and may be seeking guidance on a thing or two.

Thank you for having such a pleasant environment in this thread.

Favorite Disney Park: Disneyland

Favorite Rides: Haunted Mansion, POTC, and Jungle Cruise

Favorite Characters:Eeyore, Pooh, and Tigger (My partner adores Stitch)

Hi I'm Hadley. Hi am 35. Dh and I live in Central NH now with our two great kiddos (DD11 and DS9) and one rabbit (Willy Wonka). We have been in NH for 3 years now and it really feels like home to us and we hope to never leave. I have Soutehrn roots. I lived in East Texas (where both sides of my family are from) until I was 7 when my parents ventured to snow country and moved to Boulder, Colorado. We lived in and around Boulder for the rest of my childhood, but I spent summers in Texas with my aunts and grandparents so there is always still a bit of the soutehrn girl in me. After college, DH and I lived in Arizona (where DD was born), Wyoming, Indianna (DS was born there) and Michigan before finally making it to New Hampshire. Oh, and DH and I have been married 12 years come March.

I have no money earning career (I used to be an English teacher). I homeschool the kids and also do the typical mommy stuff (girl scout leader, shuttle DS to dance and DD to karate, etc.) I (and the entire family) do enjoy community theatre. I was most recently part of the emsemble for Pippin. Peter Pan audtions are comming up soon. I would love to play Mrs. Darling.

Favourite Disney Park? I can't choose one. Does the cruise count as one?

Favourite non Disney park? Legoland (better than the California Disny parks to me:rolleyes1 )

Best Parade: Main Street Electrical (yes I know it is gone now, it is still the best). Oh, and Sue--we have always called Spetromagic "The Scary Chuckie Doll Parade":rotfl:

Best Show/ride in parks: The Festival of the Lion King

Best treat in the parks: Sweet pretzle in Norway

Too many good restruarants to choose one

Best Parade: Main Street Electrical (yes I know it is gone now, it is still the best). Oh, and Sue--we have always called Spetromagic "The Scary Chuckie Doll Parade":rotfl:


Oh my Goodness! That is TOO funny! We will SO be calling it that from here on!:lmao:

Hi I'm Hadley.


Hi Hadley,

Do you remember the schedule on the double dip? (i.e. which night is pirate night?) We're going in June, and I don't want to schedule Palo on that night. pirate:

Hi Hadley,

Do you remember the schedule on the double dip? (i.e. which night is pirate night?) We're going in June, and I don't want to schedule Palo on that night. pirate:

We had pirate night on the night we were on Cozumel (after leaving port of course) but I do not know if they always do it that way or not. The Double Dips are so much fun, I bet you'll have a blast in June (we are doing another this September). You can always do Palos on your very first night and then you know you won't miss the party. Book it late enough that you can stop by your regular table to meet servers and tablemates (maybe have a drink with them) and then head off for a raomantic start to the cruise. Since the big party on embarkation day is sail away in the afternoon I kinda like to do Palo this way so I know I will not miss other parties:rotfl:

Sue--DS9 was reading the park map about a year and half ago and saw Spectormagic and got all excited thinking it was a new parade. I guess we never told him that Scary Chuckie Doll was just our name for it:rotfl2:

Hi my name is Storm and I'm a Tigger obsessed, Disney-aholic, and I've been to WDW 11x's in the past 7 yrs.

(Pauses for the "Hi Storm" from the Disney annonymous crowd, continues when he hears crickets and remember there is no DA here only enablers.)

I was born in PA (near Pittsburg), grew up traveling the globe, but consider the Washington DC area my home. I presently live in St Louis, MO w/ my partner of 11 yrs (been here 16 rys... I am so ready to get back to the East Coast!!)

I was a part-time CM at a local Disney store for 7yrs until they closed my store. :sad: (Which is why my house looks like a Disney Store annex)

On-line :surfweb: I like to think of myself as one of the "nice guys" ... playful and just want to have fun. In real life... you mean there's life off the net?

And now.. my favs..

Park: Animal Kingdom

Ride: RnRRC & ToT

Parade: "Scary Chucky Doll Parade" :laughing:

Night time spectacular: Fantasmic (although I wish WDW would get rid of the Pocahontas part)

Resorts: WL, SSR, AKL

Resteraunt: Boma's

Snack: Pretzel from Germany (EP), Pastery's from France (EP), Turkey Legs (is that really a snack?)

Characters: Tigger, Stitch, Beast

Time to go: 1st 2wks of Dec, during F&W festival.

And I like to say thanks to the Dis Webmasters :worship: and the GaLaD Mods for creating a happy place just for me!! (The rest of you are lucky I share. :thumbsup2 )

OK, you're all making me feel guilty so I better introduce myself again. I'm Sue (at least that's what my signature says) and I live in a suburb of Buffalo, the place known for snow and losing sports teams (Bills and Sabres). I head up an IT department so I'm geeky but not too geeky (no pocket protector). I travel as much as I possibly can – usually to Disney World 5 or 6 times a year (DVC is a wonderful thing) and to any other place that I can fit in. I love wine, good food, musicals, walking on the beach ... oh, wait, wrong venue. Honestly, I'm a bit of a foodie and some friends own a winery so I help them out working in the tasting room, harvesting, and anything else they ask me to do.


Favorite Disney park: EPCOT and Animal Kingdom
Favorite non-Disney park: Crystal Beach (long gone)
Favorite fireworks: Illuminations


By the way, Buffalo is next to Niagara Falls so if you're ever in the area let me know.

Hi! My name is Wit, aka Paula. I'm a 29 year old artist living with my partner, our 2 daughters, 3 dogs, 3 cats and 3 fish in the Chicago suburbs. However I am originally from a little town just east of Orlando called Christmas, Florida. I am a former WDW Cast Member, and a Sea World veteran as well.

My partner, Heather, and I have been together for 6 years now, and I have yet to take her "Home" to Florida yet. We have a vacation planned to stay at SSR for 2 weeks and enjoy the whole Disney experience. Which I think will be fun, because of all the hundreds of times I have been to the WDW parks, this will be my first time going as a tourist. Our girls, 9 and 10, are super stoked, which makes things even better.

My Fave Disney....
Park is Magic Kingdom
Movie is Robin Hood
Attraction is Space Mountain
Song is Kiss the Girl ;)


Looking forward to meeting everyone! Was a pleasure reading everyones introductions!

I've recently came out last year which was the scariest thing I've ever done, but it was definately for the best. For the first time I can say that I am finally happy w/ myself. My fave. park in the Magic Kingdom, especially at night. Oh and I'm currently single, and actually have never even dated a guy. I'm quite innocent...haha :rotfl:

I'm Dan from cold, snowy Wisconsin.
I am so excited to have found this resource, have just been lurking so far and have found tons of useful information.
My partner and I have been together 16 years (no that's not a typo!).
We have an adopted son who we are taking to WDW for the first time this April.
Any other gay male couples with kids out there? Would love to talk with other guys with children.
It's been 7 years since our last trip to WDW, I can't wait to get back and to share some of the magic of Disney with our son!

Hi everyone...I guess I confused this post with the come on "out" post, so here goes...
I'm Kristen and DP is Carol. We've been together for 11 years and have 2 little girls together (Kimberly and Stephanie). We obviously hail from NJ (as you can see from my Avatar), about 30 min outside of Philly. I'm the one who is hopelessly obsessed with these boards (DP just rolls her eyes whenever she sees me on here.) :rolleyes: :rolleyes1 May will be our 2nd trip to WDW as a family and I'm so excited. DP doesn't really care what we do when we get there as long as she gets her Tonga toast over at the Poly at least 2x's while we're there. Anyway...I'm so glad I found these boards as a resource and I'm even happier to meet "youse guys". ;)

Hi! My name is Todd. I live in frigid Michigan and have all my life, expect for a couple of semesters during college, when I lived at Chatham Square in Little Lake Bryan, Florida. My DH and I have a beautiful mini dachshund dog-ter, Crea.

Favourite Park: Epcot
Favourite Attraction: Muppets 3-D
Favourite Eatery on property: Restaurant Marrakesh
Favourite Fireworks: Illuminations
Favourite Parade: Tapestry of Nations (RIP)
Favourite Live Show: Festival of the Lion King

Non-Disney: Cedar Point. Greatest Thrill Park in the world. (They suck at theming, though)

My first trip to WDW was when I was four. Unfortunately, all I can remember from that trip is passing out in the hotel.

I went back during middle school, staying in a Fort Wilderness Cabin, Dixie Landings & Port Orleans.

In high school we camped at Fort Wilderness and stayed with friends in Doctor Phillips.

I also was part of the WDW College Program for Winter/Summer 2001 and stayed at All Star Sports, FW Cabins, & Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been back since. That will change soon!:banana: :cool1: :yay:

My name is Teri (not Chris as my sign-on might suggest)...long story, but an a joke that started with college friends many years ago...so it's the name I use for all my online stuff...not that you need to know that...but now that we're "family"...

Anyway, I'm from Connecticut, and like Todd before me, have lived in the same state all my life, except when I went to school in Massachusetts...I didn't travel far from home.

I have a husband, 2 great boys--one you already know about ;) -- and a younger 8 year0old w/ Down syndrome...so you can see I have an interesting life...one extreme to another... We have 3 cats...Bear, Tinker and Bell. :)

My favorite ride is It's a Small World...because I saw that when it debuted at the World's Fair in New York in 1964...when I was 5! So it holds a special place for me.

Our next trip is Oct. 11-18...staying at CSR...and maybe I'll have the pleasure of meeting some of you in person!

I'm new to the boards...and started out my venture in on your boards! So hello all!

I thought I had intriduced myself a while back, but looking back I can see that I did not, so...

I'm Paul and I live with a large stuffed gorilla (Mr. Peebles) in a condo on a small harbor south of Boston. Your likely to find me in any of several forums here on DIS, but I do so like stopping by the Community Board to afflict the right wing.

Favorite Disney Park
Hmmmm, can I pick two? Well, if I have to pick just one it would be EPCOT but I am ever so fond of the Magic Kingdom.

Favorite Attraction
Currently Soarin', but I'm fickle. I know he's (likely) a child molester, but I miss Captain EO.

Favorite Resort
Did I ask before if we could pick two? Well, the Boardwalk Villa edges out the Contemporary, but if that new construction on the site of the old North Wing is a new DVC resort, I'm SO buying in.

Favorite Show
Festival of the Lion King--luvs me some Tumble Monkees :love:

Favorite Fireworks
Wishes--pretty :yay:

Favorite Restaurant
Flying Fish--always sit in the in the "show" seats

I work as a senior operations manager for a (much too large) security services firm, and am a post-graduate student in International Law. I am dependably liberal and liberally dependable. I enjoy photography, travel (particularly to WDW), reading (oi), and team sports.

I'm Mark and my partner's name is Brian. I'm 42 and he's 32. Yes, I robbed the cradle somewhat. We've been together for almost 4 years and live in Dallas Texas with our dog Max. I'm the Disney nut in the family. My partner loves Disney and enjoys it when we go, but I have a feeling that most of his enjoyment comes from me becoming a big kid everytime I walk to the gates.

I've been to Disneyland numerous times, mostly when I was younger. Only until the past few years have we made it back to DLR or WDW every year and sometimes more then once a year. I can't get enough of it. We plan on going every year at least once. Last year was our first time to WDW, Animal Kingdom, MGM Disney Studios and Epcot. We brought his parents. Just last weekend, Brian and I, along with our two best friends who had never been, went to DLR.

Nice to find a place for us to chat about all things Disney!

Hiya! I'm Ashley. I'm 23, and my girlfriend, Martina is 31. We've been together for nearly five years. We're about 400ish miles away from WDW up in Georgia.

I'm the hard core Disney nut, but seeing as she's a Florida native, she has had her fair share of days as an Annual Passholder. She's just not as crazy about it as I am.

We lived in Lakeland, FL a few years back, and I actually had the opportunity to work Front Desk at the All Stars. It had it's pros and cons, but I'm really glad it's something I was able to do.

Every couple of months when we're down in central Florida visiting family and friends we try to at least head over one day while we're there whether it's to just poke around Downtown Disney, actually visit the parks, or eat somewhere.

I'm a photography nerd, so you may see me frequent the photo threads. Also, I know there are several Drum Corps folks here as well, and even though I never got to march *trombone player..never quite figured out the whole valve thing...at least I wasn't a woodwind ;) * with a Corps, it's something I really appreciate.

Hi Rosie,
I live in Boerum Hill, but I grew up in Bay Ridge. Where did you go to high school? I went to Xaverian.

I went to Fort Hamilton HS, I lived for a short while in Boerum Hill on Wyckoff street btw Smith and Hoyt!

Hi there... I'm John; greetings from the (still) frozen wastelands of Michigan.

Favorite Disney Park
Pretty much an Epcot geek.

Favorite Attraction
Tower. Also love Everest 'cause it's the whole package: theme, queue, ride. Many favorites in Epcot; I'm also one of those who still mourn the loss of Horizons. I know; we need to get over that. At MK, Haunted Mansion... haven't been on the "enhanced" ride yet.

Favorite Resort
AKL, but only with a Savanna view... Contemporary a close second.

Favorite Fireworks
Illuminations. Even better with food.

Favorite Restaurant
Artist Point, although it's been a while since my last meal there.

Favorite non-Disney park
Cedar Point. Worked there for a summer in college (which was, uh, quite a few years ago!)

Anyway, nice to be here amongst you fine people. Have a great day!

My name is Doug and I'm in Deltona about an hour north of Disney. My DP of 14 years and I just recently started spending a lot of time at WDW. We bought an RV in October and stayed at Fort Wilderness for our first trip out. Well needless to say we fell in love with the place and have stayed there 4-5 nights every month. Last week we stayed there and did the Pirate and Princess party :pirate: but probably won't stay there again until the fall. Work is too busy to plan to get away in the summer. :mad: but we will do day trips or dinner trips when we can.

We love all the parks and discover new things every time we go there, but we always seem to end up back at MK. I'm looking forward to the fall and the F&W Festival, the Halloween Party and my favorite time the Christmas Party.

I LOVE FW!! It's one of my favorite places at WDW. My DP's idea of camping is a place without room service, and he wont even stay in the cabins (too many horror movies). We make trips to a book store, followed by lunch at Trail's End and a day relaxing in the shade of the cypress trees on the beach at FW pretty often though. :)

I see'em and I collect all the ones I like. :laughing: I'm also addicted to my favorite TV series like: Roseanne, The Golden Girls, Friends, The L Word, Will & Grace and many more. :happytv: I also enjoy music of course and I'm a fan of the 80's. In July I'll be visiting Disney World for the 3rd time and on August I begin the college program for the 1st time. Yeah, I'm happy and scared at the same time but I'm positive and I think it will be a great experience. Well, in the meantime I hope to have fun here at the board and make lots friends so we can hang out when I get there in the fall.

03-21-2008, 10:08 PM
my 2 cents:

First of all, when you described Rick's idea of camping, you forgot to put ketchup on the french fry. You also forgot to mention that the closest trees are a well-manicured part of the expensively landscaped resort. That also has ketchup.

Second, Paige, those chocolates are exclusively for trips to New York City. If I could mail you those chocolates whenever you wanted them, they would cease to become so wonderful. More importantly, Rick is correct. I might buy them for you, put them down on the car seat to head home or in the bag in my hand as I ride the subway and I wouldn't even be out of Manhattan before half of them would be gone. They are that delicious. You'll have to convince me to make it worth my while to go all the way to midtown buy you chocolates and send them to Texas, where, upon arrival, they will melt.

Oh, and I don't think camping in a cabin would be a bad idea at all. Provided that no deformed boy was drowned in the lake by a bunch of nasty teenage campers and his mother didn't still somehow live in the area wearing a completely hideous oversized sweater. (This last paragraph was expessly for my honey.)

The chocolates in question are for sale at the chocolate shop in Rockefeller Center in NYC. I don't think they ship unless it's winter, however. And now that we are most of the way through March, I'm not sure they'll ship now. It's a French name so I'm not going to try to spell it.

Yes, come to NYC. Get same champagne truffles. They are worth the $7million dollar price tag for one tasty nugget. Of course that's an exaggeration, but they are really good.

Hi. I'm Greg. I'm 41, and I live in Clifton, NJ, which is fairly close to New York City.

I've always been a Disney fan. A few years ago, I bought into Disney Vacation Club, so now I can go to Walt Disney World (and stay in my beloved Wilderness Lodge) more often. I just booked my first Disney cruise, though it won't be until December 2009.

I'm single, so I usually travel with friends. Though it isn't always the same friend. (No one friend wants to go to WDW as often as I do.)

My next trip to Walt Disney World is in September. I was supposed to go to Disneyland this past February, and I was supposed to go to Walt Disney World next month. However, I had to cancel both trips because of illness in my family. So that's why my September WDW trip is fairly long - 10 nights, counting the three nights at Disney's Vero Beach resort. That'll probably be my only vacation this year, so I wanted to make it count.

Three things:

1.) Howdy gppnj! You have deffo come to the right board if your "Life in Mundania" friends never want to go to Disney as often as you do. Many, if not most of us here, are complete and total all-things-Disney addicts.:wizard:
2.) Those hockey fellers wouldn't be so near-so purty w/o the marvels of western hemisphere dentistry. :rotfl:
3.) Reidman IS totally fierce. :goodvibes

Single for the past 4 or so years, but I'm somewhat of a homebody, so I don't go out much.

I grew up in a small town called Trinidad, Colorado, and have lived in Las Cruces, New Mexico; Lubbock, Texas; and Dallas prior to living here.

before i introduce myself i just need to be overly excited about the fact that you lived in las cruces...i was born there, lived there until i was five, moved to arizona and have been there ever since, but most of my family is in cruces still. it isn't often i see anyone out here in the "real world" who even knows that las cruces exists! :rotfl:

*ahem* anyway...my name is michelle, i am 22 years old from az. i am marrying my boyfriend of 5 years next month :scared: lol...it came up faster then i thought it would. we are going to disneyworld for our honeymoon, the first time there for us both (we try to do disneyland at least once a year). i have a BA in english literature and would like nothing more than to write fantsy novels into the twilight years of my life and visit disney often :)

two of my best friends in the world are gay men that i met at my last job and my biggest pet peeve is people who feel that they have the right to judge anyone for any reason. it doesn't take much to get me on a soapbox when it comes to things like that because it is a state of mind i have never and will never understand. i would defend anyone's right to choose the way they want to live.

i am a lurker here as well as a few other boards (mostly the wedding board haha) but i thought i would say hello :wave2: also, i have an addiction to smilies. in case you hadn't noticed hahahaha!

Hi,
This is my first post on the boards! I stumbled upon them somehow & now I'm hooked.
I live in Philly with my girlfriend of almost 3 years (in August). We moved here almost a year ago. We're both originally from Jersey. I go to school for web design & she's a social worker in South Jersey.
Both of us have been to Disney World numerous times, but only once together in December of 2006. We were there for 5 days/4 nights and decided that was much too short!
We're hoping to return soon & I'm hoping to surprise her with a trip for her birthday (Aug 14th) and our anniversary.

*waves* Hey boards! I'm Shay, I'm 18, and I'm from Rhode Island. Annnnd I'm engaged to my girlfriend, Kala. (Yes, we're ridiculously young. Yes, I'm absolutely sure that it's right. I always feel like I need to be defensive about this whole thing, sorry!) Anyways, we're planning on Disney World for our honeymoon, and granted, we don't NEED to start planning right now, since the wedding isn't for three years, but how can I resist? I've only been there once nine years ago (I know, it's sacrilege) and I'm incredibly excited. We're interested in finding out about how Disney treats same-sex couples on their honeymoons. Can we order two of those adorable little bride mouse ears? Because, I mean, the whole thing is obviously not worth it if I don't get mouse ears with a veil attached. :)

I feel incredibly boring in this introduction, but it's 8 in the morning and I haven't slept yet, so excuse me for that. Insomnia fails at life.

Somehow in five months I didn't notice that this was a thread about "re-introducing" yourselves. Geesh, I feel like a lurker all of a sudden.

But here we go:

Ken - Atlanta, GA

Grew up in the Detroit, MI suburbs (Lincoln Park and went to Eastern Michigan University). Moved to Atlanta in the fall of 1996.

The reason I like each Disney Park:
MK - Makes me feel like a kid again
AK - Brings out my spiritual side
EPCOT - Makes me learn, and Fun Adult stuff outside a bed *wink*
DHS - I was born to be a star, and I act like one in the park. "Now take my picture, and where is my limo?.....for I am ready for my close up.... and I love all those people out there in the dark."


Favorite non Disney Park: Cedar Point

Single: So if you know any handsome, single, funny, stable men in the Atlanta area please let me know.

Likes: TV, Movies, Theatre, Reading, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Disney (of Course), Hockey, Travel, the Olympics, Roleplaying games, board games, Comics.

Dislikes: Close-minded people, dishonesty, having debt, people that say "my pleasure" when I thank them at the drive thru. I also dislike that I don't spend as much time on here as I would like.

Age: 34
Sign: Scorpio (and yes what you've heard it true)

Other interesting facts: I am a secord degree Wiccan Priest (so I can marry people, and hold hand-fasting ceremonies), I have a Boston Terrier named Belle, I have one tatto and working on another.

DearDaisyinDurham
04-30-2008, 03:46 PM

Hey everyone..

Sorry I have been absent from the boards for a while, things with work have been absolutely nuts lately but now that things have quieted down a bit I should be on more often :)

So with all that said the reintroduce thing just hits just at the right time..

The name is Adam, 34 years old, work for Starbucks and live out in Bartonsville, PA (Pocono Mountains).

I live with my boyfreind (Tim) and our two dogs, one cat, and various fish (the fish are Tims cause i have a tendancy to kill things that wont tell me that they are hungry, plants are included in this list.)

We moved out to PA about a year ago now and love it out here.

We are both from NY (Brooklyn for me, Tim is out of Queens)

I think that about sums it all up..

Speak to you all later
Adam

HI!

I am Alison. I live between Washington, DC and Baltimore with my wife (of 8 years) our 2 year old twin boys, and 2 cats. I am a medical social worker.

I adore Disney. I have no idea how many times I've been to WDW (I am guessing 15-20) starting when I was about 4 and the last time in 2005. My wife isn't into Disney (boo.) She says she "doesn't mind it" but she doesn't think it is the happiest place on earth. Clearly, she is misguided. :lmao:

I have been waiting to take our kids since before they were even born and I've talked her into one day at MK in Jan/Feb 09 (we have friends in the area so we aren't going down for just one day at the park!) We'll do a bigger/more extensive trip when the kids are a bit older. I really want to do a solo trip - but I don't think that leaving her home with 2 2 year olds is really fair.:rotfl:

05-12-2008, 10:31 AM
i am thatgrrl. i am 35, mom to a 3 year old daughter and a cute rescued black and white cocker spaniel. we live 2.5 hours from wdw in south florida and try to go as often as possible. we do a lot of single days up there. get on the road at 6AM and leave the park by 7or8PM the same day and drive home.

i have been out as bi for the last 16 years and currently single and not really looking for anything significant. working on my health (lost over 80 pounds in the last couple years and have a lot more to go) and just devoting time to making sure my daughter has the best life i can possibly give her.

while my daughter is, of course, into all things princess and really loves the classics like bambi and dumbo -- our devotion is more to the park experience than "all things disney". i have gone to disney since i was an infant and took my daughter on her first trip the day she turned 6 weeks old!

my main goal in life is to eventually transition my career to walt disney companies or the reedy creek improvement district and make a permanent move up that way. if that doesn't work out i will definitely "retire" up in orlando and work any job i can in the parks.

looking forward to getting to know you all.

wow. i really miss it there!

Well, I've done a bit here and there over the years - Sleuths, the Fringe festival, Winter Park Playhouse and others, as well as quite a bit of performing at USF & IOA as well as WDW.

It's definitely possible that we've seen you somewhere before. At the very least, I'd bet that we have friends in common. We know a couple of people that perform at Sleuths, and several that perform at the parks.

Seeing any Fringe this week?

Small world. My parents and grandparents are all from Maine (around the Bangor area) and my dad attended Husson College! I love it there and can't wait to take the kids there for the summer. I have eonderful memories of going to my grandparents camp on Pushaw Lake every summer for 18 years! :love:

Hey now, I still claim "Mainer"!

It's better than "Floridiot" as the tourists call us... :rolleyes1


Believe me, I'm not saying you have to give it up...but some people up here are a little weird about "people from away." :)

...and "Floridiots?" Really? That's harsh!

Hey everyone, thought I'd introduce myself over here. I'm J, 21, live in Astoria, Queens (NYC) with my DP, Shayne. We both identify as queer and are obsessed with all things Disney. So, hi everyone! :goodvibes

Hi DisBoards,

I am new and just found the site via Google, wow there is a lot of information.

Well I have lived in Orlando 12 years and this will be my second Gay Days, sorry I was shy, and I have been becoming a bigger Disney fan as my boyfriend works at Disney.

I am also good at discovery and help others with Disney and Orlando information and where possible I will try to pitch in and help.

Glad to be here and will be at Disney for Gay Days!

Hello,

My name is James and this will be my first trip to WDW for Gay Days! I'm from Virginia Beach,VA, 29, and single. It won't be my first trip to Orlando and my favorite park is MGM. I will be doing the solo thing much of the time as my friend is meeting up with some of her local friends. Feel free to drop me a line via my myspace. myspace.com/invid78

Hi, everyone! I'm Sarah (although I will answer to turkygurl). I'm 27, married (to JaxPiper). We live in Jacksonville, FL, with our 2 children (Emma-5 and Aidan -2), and we can generally be found at Disney at least one weekend per month. JaxPiper and I, along with my brother (not straight) are heading down to Disney for our second Gay Days. We had such a blast last year that we want to make it an annual tradition. Our favorite park is Epcot (not only because of the drinking). Nice to meet you all. :cool2:

With Turkeygurl being around, there will be plenty of babes, boys, and booze for everyone!! :lmao:

Hope Gay Days is a big success this year, we were there last year but as we were over in January and coming again in September, we have had to give it a miss this year.

Hope you all have a great time, and pop into the Rose and Crown in EPCOT and have a pint for us!!!!
:yay:

Ah! That explains the name, AND the Off Kilter enjoyment!

Sarah, I won't be able to make it to Epcot on Sunday this year. (I've got to work) so please keep an eye out for us at PI at night and Magic Kingdom on Saturday.


Have a great time!

Cool. I will keep an eye out for you. We're down at Disney a lot, so I'll let you know next time we're coming down for a drink-a-long at Epcot. :)

Yes, she is quite a babe I must say so :love:

And let me add to that...today is mine and turkygurl's 7th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!! (yeah I remembered!!) :bride: :love2:

So I think she has your number, but so far the tentative plan is to arrive Friday afternoon and chill at the Dolphin, and probably hit PI Fri night, MK Sat., PI Sat. night, and the EPCOT drink-along on Sun. THE MORE THE MERRIER!!

4 MORE DAYS!!!!
