ATTEN! Single woman wanted to show my uncle the magic of Disney & maybe more.....

[newcomer52]

I myself, is starting to wonder if there is an Uncle Paul. :lmao:

Since I have been lurking like BelleIsLost, this same thought has crossed my mind. :rolleyes1

[!whatever!]

I have to agree with the women who are wondering what is the reality of the Paul story.

It has similarities to a man I met in a restaurant one night and I asked him if he were married and he said no he was divorced. Long story short he had just left his wife that night.

So , my question is this, and since you originated this post and you have ladies emotions in your hands it is only fair that you answer this and answer it on the forum not in PMS.
*Are you legally divorced?
*If not, have you FILED for divorce
*If not are you seperated from your wife even ,as in you live in 2 seperate houses
*If you are seperated WHEN, as in how long

and if not then why are you looking for a date. I agree with Belle to begin with, why Disney? just because its a free forum that you dont have to pay for?
*and if you have your own computer why are you not in chat, and why does your niece have to type for you. I understand you are a slow typer but you can hunt and peck just as quickly as your niece can translate and type.

I think any woman that has ever dated a man who has just seperated from his wife knows what a mistake that is and if that is the case then here is my advice Paul. Take some time to find yourself first before you try another relationship. Mend yourself and your emotions before you touch someone elses heart. Theres nothing wrong with going out in your hometown and finding a rebound date but going to Disney isnt the answer unless you have a love for Disney which obviously you do not have. If you want to go try disney do it with your niece and then if you want to pick up a single woman at the time go for it there would be nothing wrong with that if she is willing, but dont try a connection that others may mistake for a relationship if all you want is a rebound date.
You get over one relationship before you attempt another.

If there is a Kristin and Paul quite frankly your recent posts would be hurtful to some very nice people particularly Kristin. Not very Disney like behavior.

Guess one of the rules should have been to check the baggage at the door.

Oh and by the way if you have to create a new screen name just so you can post something that is derogatory and completely hateful maybe you shouldn't post it at all. Just a thought.

[ttester9612]

Mrs. Potts

I don't think I was hurtful or disrespectful to Kristin or Paul. I was only asking more questions to find out more about him. Paul did say he likes someone with a sense a humor, so I was trying to bring humor into the thread and even liven it up. Is that a crime?

As you can see from my past posts, I say what's on my mind so why would I have to create a new screen name. That's just not my cup of tea.

If fact, I'm out of this game, it's getting to boring and now it appears that folks are to sensitive to the posts being made. Paul who I don't even know is not worth it.

Goodbye and I hope if Paul is for real that he finds his Disney Princess.

[chrisnkristin1]

Paul,

Since most guys have no clue what women are looking for here’s a list of what turns me on and off.

Turn ons....
~First and foremost RESPECT
~Sense of humor
~Intelligent without being a brainiac
~Knows how to hold a stimulating conversation as well as how to be comfortably silent
~Must have a relationship with God....strong Christian values but not necessarily into organized religion...(its all about the relationship with Jesus not about whether you go to church)
~Must be responsible but never grow up (still know how to be childlike and impulsive).
~Must know how to handle a quiet night at home on occasion without constantly having to be on the go
~Cooking is a plus(but if you make a mess you have to help clean it up)
~Must realize the importance of maintaining our own identities, there must be a you and an I as well as an us....
~Old fashioned and can make decisions (after considering my opinion as well, but that doesn't mean he chooses what I think)
~Be my "Best Friend" where I feel like I can tell you anything.
~When we vacation in Disney or anywhere else, you are excited to be there as much as I.
~Someone who enjoys sharing the housework with me and even the laundry.
~Brings me flowers just because he loves me.
~Loves to travel
~Well manner and polite

Turn offs
~Rudeness...to anyone
~Wimps
~Intellectually challenged and cannot hold a conversation ...if I am yawning and looking at my watch it is time to move on
~Conceited people that thinks looks are all that matter (looks are LOW on my list of priorities, they fade so there has to be something more)
~Guys that are disrespectful or abusive to any female or child
~Guys who think they are God's gift to women.
~violence
~controlling
~arrogance

Do you sound like a guy that could turn me on or off?

Come ladies, join in, what are your turn ons and turn offs? :rolleyes1

rudeness to anyone, huh teresa? what did i or my uncle say to get you so rude? did we offend you in anyway? i am pretty shocked at all of this..... we have been 100% honest from the start. any ?? have been answered as honestly as possible. what happened to you??:confused3

[chrisnkristin1]

i have to tell you....this whole thread happened b/c i was once again talking to my uncle at easter about my planning yet another disney trip. he said the same thing.....disney?? why do you like that place so much?? i started explaining again to him, he started seeing the light, a little , but finally opened up a little. then we got talking about his crappy end to a 20 some year marriage. then i got the crazy idea of putting his pic up on disboards, starting a thread and seeing if any lady out there wanted to show my uncle the magic of disney and maybe something more. i put a few stats up there and waited... no one had to reply, no one had to do a thing---- we just thought we'd put it out there, hey you never know, right? at first my uncle was a little " on the fence" about it b/c he knows nothing about computers, let alone message boards, and i'm sure as you can all admit... this is somewhat an unconventional method of meeting someone. he is very open now to the possibilities of the magic we all talk about. what do you all want him to ask? he has no idea what to ask? he wants someone to show him and tell him about it as stated in first post. we were both having so much fun with this different approach at first. you all seemed so welcoming ( as i never really posted much, i came on for some great info and ideas sometimes). all of you seemed to have such different personalities, some just made me laugh out loud. this thread was started to be lighthearted and happy for my uncle's sake. i just truly wanted to find him some happiness. well for those of you who are wondering , he is real, he is my uncle, he is my mothers little brother who also happens to be my godfather. we are an extremely close family and care for one another. i am so sorry for those of you out there who don't get that or maybe don't have that. i may have been wrong about some of you. i may not hear your voices but i see your tone changing and i ask you why?? is it because you feel that indeed uncle paul is not real or could it be something else?? also..... i don' check the thread as much as i'm sure i should, i have 3 small children and a husband that i take care of. i live out in the country and can only get dial up and let me tell you how slow it is, i don't have time to be on every second to help answer your ?? as for my uncle... he go's to work at 3:30 am every morning... by the time he gets home he eats and go's straight to bed so there is very little time for him to get on the computer all the time to answer you guys..... the response to this thread has been way crazier than we ever thought it could be. you guys may see the posts but you don't know how many e-mails we've gotten. i can't keep up w/ it.... so sorry guys... sorry that you feel you haven't seen uncle paul's humor, truly i am b/c he is hilarious!! sorry that some of you have come to your own conclusion that either uncle paul is not real or uncle paul isn't all that. this started out as fun and had now turned into something i don't want to be a part of. again, this started out as something fun and good hearted, i am sorry to those who feel that they just don't know enough about him. does this make him a bad guy? because some of you are certainley making him out to be just that. don't be a part of this if you don't want to be. last thought....... i think some of you have it backwards..... some of you are not worthy not the other way around.....

Kristin, I'm sorry if you did not understand my list. I did not mean it to be rude. I was showing Paul what are my Turn on and Turn offs. And to see if he matches the turn-ons... As for the other posts, as I was telling Mrs. Potts I was only trying to liven up the thread. As to the others I was making comments to BellInLost and !Whatever posts. Is that a crime? It appears that everyone has miss understood. So I will no longer be playing. It also appears that my sense of humor is not what anyone likes. Goodbye.:wave2:

I do have say one more thing before I leave. This thread is getting out of hand. This newcome !Whatever posted some mean things about Uncle Paul but I'm the one getting hateful remarks. Talk about unDisney like. Read who posted what before attacking. The is so not worth it at all. :sad2: At least I thought my posts as for fun and play not rudeness. Sorry again for the misunderstanding.

first off.....i'd (kristin) like to say---- like the new screen name... we must be dealing w/ someone who has balls.
but here you go Whatever!...... uncle paul has been legally seperated for 1 1/2years, divorce has been filed legally and now it's up to the lawyers. yes we live in 2 seperate places and have been for over 1 1/2 years. no have not been on the rebound in quite some time. thanks for the advice, but i've been over my relationship for quite some time. knowing the attitude coming from that post you probably want a time on that. lets say over 1 1/2 years. if someone that i was interested in asked me those ?? which they have i have answered them honestly. i hate computers, yes, i type slow and no, i don't want to go to any chat rooms that's not my thing as i'm sure you have things that you're not too into, for example, giving people the benefit of the doubt. lets move on.......sorry Whatever!, you've obviously been scorned. i've done nothing personally to you or anyone affiliated w/ these boards. i think it's safe to say that what you're mad at is you've lost all faith. hope you find some again.. life's too short, yet another reason we started this post. ----------------thanks to all of you who were fun, supportive and nice. there's not enough of that anymore as you plainly demonstrated in your post... see ya disboards!

Thanks for answering those questions and please go back and see that they were QUESTIONS not statements, questions so I dont know why it is such a big deal. You answered the questions so we can take it at that. Those questions were never asked or answered and I dont know why it was a problem to ask them, I for one would want to make certain that I was not talking to a married man, would that be so wrong? so it shoulde be No Problem. I think people take things and blow them out of proportion

[Eeyore4me764]

Hi Kristen and Paul, Sorry that things went sour, I thought this was a nice way for someone to possibly meet their soulmate. I sat here and read the whole post and was kinda surprised at the outcome. Paul, I too hope you go thru the emails that you have received and possibly meet someone in Disney in the fall. I met my new husband thru the internet..not your most conventional way....but hey it worked for us....you just never know. He wasn't a Disney fan but my love for Disney has rubbed off....we spent our honeymoon at Disney and have gone back every year since....we are even annual pass holders. Don't give up, you seem like a very nice loving family....You may just find your princess....My husband has told me he has found his!!! princess: Wishing you the best in your search. :thumbsup2 Keep us posted!!!

I just wanted to throw something in here please....
Please go to post #205 on this thread
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1774537&page=14

I started this idea on the other thread so please go look at it. Teresa just took my idea and used it over here but it was taken into a whole new context
than what I am sure Teresa meant, so if this was mean of her then I guess it ultimately began with ME so blame ME not her ! I thought it was funny when I saw she had posted it over here and I started to tease her about plagerism, but then I was scared it would be taken as me being catty so I didnt, now after seeing this I wish I had.
So, please if you want to be mad at someone be mad at me.

[nurse.darcy]

All of this is just stupid and I am done. .. I was already done for awhile but this just solidifies it. .

[DisneyDreams21]

It looks like this has turned into a real version of the television Bachelor. I do want to say that Teresa kept this thread going asking questions etc... and added some fun to everything along the way. I was shocked to see her scapegoated for comments by others.

As with any type of contest, things can get out of hand and in many ways I am glad that I missed out on what's been going on while I was busy getting ready for a trip to Disney. I was hesitant about the idea at first, and now I know why.

[mickeymommy3]

Paul and Kristin I am sorry that something that I believe was started genuinely turned out this way. I do believe that Kristin's efforts were in the right place. This has had to be very overwhelming for you and it is sad that there are so many people that are so quick to be skeptical and judgemental. Sorry Guys, I enjoyed talking to you.

Hey !Whatever, I like the way you think. I believe besides myself others would love to read (if there ever posted) Paul's answers to your questions. :rolleyes1

I for one, am getting :bored: with this game.

These are the two post causing all the trouble. Not the orginal one ttester posted that Kristen quoted. I personally think what Kristen is doing for her uncle is very nice and you can tell they are close and she just wants him to be happy.

[rebecca06261]

Just came across your post and I think what you are doing is wonderful!!! :goodvibes I definitely don't fit his "idea" but I do think he is hot and I will be there in September:banana: I'm 32, short and chubby, don't really like working out :rolleyes1 and I'm geographically undesireable. :lmao: Good luck with the search!

Not looking for a date with uncle Paul!

I am a married man and I didn't think I would see this type of disrespect on these boards. I don't usually happen across to read these topics, but this sounded interesting. I read this whole thread and it was pretty nice to see that people were putting their best foot forward and had a personal interest in the outcome. As I read further, I thought it was just a matter of time before someone got their feelings hurt or made even the smallest comment that showed frustration because they were not getting answered. I hate that the enjoyment is not there.

Paul, I am 38 years old and I love Disney for my kids, for my family and FOR ME! Disney means being a kid again. Remember your memories from childhood and find that part of Disney to start with. I personally love the "Pirates of the Carribean" ride. That simple old fashioned clunker of a ride makes me smile and feel my childhood coming back. I walk into the Magic Kingdom and it brings me to the days of my youth when I was anything I wanted to be. Maybe, connect with the young people in your life, and see Disney thru their eyes. But, to enjoy Disney with someone else, "I" feel it starts with you and Disney. If you have nieces and nephews that you are close to, go with them. Become a kid with them. Maybe you have your own older children (I don't recall seeing that), talk about a potential trip with them, even if they are grown. There are people close to you that I am sure could give you a perspective that you never thought of, maybe they have and you just haven't heard! Disney is no worries, no pressure, being silly, skipping, making faces of extreme happiness, planning whether you get the ice cream before the ride or after the ride. It is FEELING the same wonderment you see in the faces of children as they cross the lagoon on the ferry and the castle comes into view. These feelings and memories are Disney to me. It may be different for you, but keep it simple.

I am not saying that you should not get to know any of the nice people on this message board. I am just adding another perspective that takes some pressure off of you. I have enjoyed a few of the posts you received. A few of these ladies seem to be sincere and interesting. I haven't been privy to your private messages, but take it slow. I would continue to correspond with anyone here in a way BOTH of you are comfortable with. Take a visit to the kingdom first and bring that experience with you when that moment happens. You only get to make a first impression, once!

This is not intended to criticize or insinuate you are going about this wrong. Just a different perspective from another guy. Ladies, should this go further for any number of you, have fun with it. This little experience has been thought provoking. But, remember each and every one of you determine if this is something good or something bad. Paul and Kristin are pretty much at your mercy as they have put this in your hands. Don't forget, those of you who have thrown your hat into the ring no one can control where this goes and criticism of how Paul has conducted himself is not fair. Life is not scripted and I haven't seen him making demands for anything he would not provide himself. Have fun, I'll be following!

Don't let the bystanders, who throw in their two cents without investing a little time and thought, bother you,

Richie

Thanks Richie, Your post has inspired me to sign on and put my self out there for the people that were having fun like we were.Yes this is uncle Paul here. To do the best I can as the two fingered typer. But I must warn you if you ask a question on the post do not expect a quick response please. I'll do the best I can.
I want to say to the women that have responded with the kind words and support that they have given Thank You :) I would still like to meet someone in WDW that can show me around and have fun with this. If this does not work out then I will plan a trip with my grandson sometime in the near future. I also want to say to Jenny you also, and there has been others with your kind words and support pushed me to get back out here. Thank You:) :) So here I am....UPaul

Welcome back, Paul! I'm glad you decided to stick it out. I've met lots of wonderful folks on this board (and sure, some worms-in-the-apple, but life is like that). No romance yet, but I'm a big believer in "friends first" anyway. Good luck finding your princess!

At the very least, there are plenty of people here to help you plan your disney trips... :thumbsup2

hello..... being away from the boards for a few days has helped me realize what so many of you have been telling me since uncle paul and my last post.... the majority of you guys were so nice and fun and supportive. it wasn't fair of us to just sign off and end things like that. i am really sorry. so, as many of you told us, we're not letting a few bad apples spoil this. as you may have seen uncle paul has signed up w/ his own screen name now. so anyways.... hopefully this can pick back up and end magically. thanks so much again to all who were supportive. :flower3:

[sand2270]

I recently started posting on these boards with the intention of making some new friends and finding people to potentionally share a meal with or grab a drink at WDW and DL.

Everyone has been very friendly and welcoming so far. The nightly chat on dismates has proven to be quite entertaining as well. Good luck Uncle Paul, I am sorry you had a rough start.

Official welcome to The DIS, Uncle Paul! You have your own user name! :thumbsup2

I'll return to lurking now. Not visiting WDW in September and am waaaay over the age limit! :)

:thumbsup2 Hey everybody, You know trying to sell a house sucks. Had a open house today and nobody showed...:eek: I'll have another in two or three weeks mabey it will be better. Anyway I want to know if I was to have 4 days in WDW to do this. Which park should I do? What should I not miss??...Thanks..... upauld

[twotoohappy]

:welcome: Paul!
It's very cool to see you have your own screen
name now:thumbsup2

I hope you find somebody special.
It's hard being totally trusting because this is the internet,
so maybe that's why some people were questioning you...

With that being said, maybe set up a dismeet!
You can post when you'll be in WDW and then
you can meet lots of people. I've met lots of people
at dismeets, and who knows, someday I might find
that special person.

If you were going in April, June, July or Aug.
I'd love to meet you for a drink or to show you around
WDW, but I'm a teacher and missing anytime in Sept.
is a big no no! Another big dismeet time is Marathon
Weekend! There are LOTS of disers and we meet up for
meals, rides and a few drinks. Some run the races, some just
cheer the others on. It's a fun time:thumbsup2

Good luck on your search and pm me if you end up
in WDW earlier than Sept:goodvibes

:thumbsup2 Hey everybody, You know trying to sell a house sucks. Had a open house today and nobody showed...:eek: I'll have another in two or three weeks mabey it will be better. Anyway I want to know if I was to have 4 days in WDW to do this. Which park should I do? What should I not miss??...Thanks..... upauld

Sorry about the open house, the housing market is in
such a terrible slump!

4 days - Magic Kingdom - See Wishes, ride the rides, be a big kid
Epcot - try something different to eat in a couple of countries- watch Illuminations!
MGM- Star Tours and Fantasmic
Animal Kingdom - not my favorite, It's just a so-so park for me

Not to miss- Jellyrolls at the Boardwalk!:banana:

If you're staying DVC - then try to get a Boardwalk View at BWV!

Thanks Liz, Kristen tells me I should stay at the Boardwalk. The Magic Kingdom I do want to see and the Marathon Weekend is that in sept??? I'am a runner but not marathons not even half marathons. Ten miles is the most after that my legs just want to fall off. I guess Jellyrolls is one I should not miss...........upauld

[mickeymommy3]

hello there, 4 days, definetely the magic kingdom and Epcot. I would say do some planning, but also let the moments take you. Sometimes going with the flow of things can make for the best times.

Things not to miss at magic kingdom- spectromagic, wishes, some of the classic ride (Pirates, Haunted Mansion) and walking down main street during the kiss goodnight.

Epcot- soarin, Illuminations while holding hands with your special someone of course, and don't miss the margarita's!!

The are so many fabulous things, wonderful restaurants, special places to relax and enjoy.

Paul, the Expedition Everest Challenge is the race for you...http://disneyworldsports.disney.go.com/dwws/en_US/endurance/events/detail?name=EnduranceEverestEventDetailPage.

Kristin is right about Boardwalk - great location, good restaurants, interesting entertainment and, most importantly, quick access to Epcot. The end of September is the start of Epcot's Food & Wine Festival - an event not to be missed!!

My favorite park is Epcot, followed closely by Animal Kingdom. Going the last week in September gives me the chance to experience all of my favorite things in a single trip - Epcot's F & W, Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, World Wide Weekend, etc.

If you're going to be at The World anytime after 9/25, I would love to show you some of the things that make it the "Happiest Place On Earth"!

Whenever you go, you're going to have a Magical Time!
Alisa

[acourtwdw2]

Paul,

Have you decided if you will be there during the week or a long weekend? Are Kristin and her family going with you? Crowds are heavier during the weekend. Avoid Magic Kingdom on Sundays.

The things you must do:
Magic Kingdom: Wishes, all the Mt's, Jungle Cruise and Pirates because they are classics. Halloween Party

MGM: Tower of Terror, Muppets 3D, Star Wars and the Great Movie Ride

Epcot: Soarin, Living Seas, Spaceship Earth, Test track and if you can do spinning rides Mission Space. The best part of epcot is walking the worlds and seeing the different cultures. If you are there duing the Food and Wine Fest going to the different events.

Animal Kingdom: Safari, expedition everest and the new nemo show are a must at Animal Kingdom.

If you are there during the race they are having an after party which is always a great time. We really enjoyed it after doing Tower of Terror Race last year and look foward to riding everest after completing the race.

Hi Paul,
If you're up for a 10k, look into the Race for the Taste, http://disneyworldsports.disney.go.com/dwws/en_US/endurance/events/detail?name=EnduranceRacefortheTaste10KEventDetail Page The bonus here is the post-race "Picnic" at the Food and Wine Festival--one of my favorite WDW events. I love the sample-sized goodies and the "Eat to the Beat" concerts. http://allearsnet.com/tp/ep/fw07/fw07a.htm --Beach Boys, anyone? Actually, Starship is on for the 10k weekend. I'm still trying to convince my sister we need to sign up for that. We finished our first half-marathon in January.

Whatever you plan to do in your first WDW visit (and most of the suggestions here so far sound good!)--remember that you can't *possibly* see everything in one trip! Relax and absorb thagic.

I'm a DVC owner at Boardwalk, so I agree with Kristin it's a great place to stay. I don't usually go for a view room, though, since I spend so little time *in* the room. :rolleyes1 One big advantage to Boardwalk is that it's a short walk back to your room from Jellyrolls, so you can close the place down--and you'll probably want to!--and not have to worry about how you'll get back to your hotel.

Have a great time. :thumbsup2

Unfortunately marathon weekend is in January :(

Definitely stay at the Boardwalk!
There's nothing like sitting on your deck watching the fireworks!
and yes you must go to Jellyrolls!!!!!!!

Hey guys, Some of you I know have emailed me at yahoo. I don't know who because I have been unable to get into it since thursday last week.So if any of you would like to try again this is my other email address sta_put@hotmail.com there is a under score between sta and put. Hope to here from you again.
Thanks for the suggestions the Mt Everest run looks like fun.All this time I though Jellyrolls was a breakfast place..:rotfl: Is it or is it a bar??? The Boardwalk is the place were I 'm going to stay for sure. My next question is dining. Is the dining plan worth it and should I get it ?
Look forward to your answers. .... by the way..... I will be ending this next friday and asking the "one" if she'd like to meet me down in Disney. I'm actually getting excited for Disney now! I didn't think that would ever happen :). I know I said one month but we were thrown off about a week with what happened a couple weeks ago. -- Talk to you soon.....Paul

1. The EE challenge is a 5K so lots of fun there. . .
2. I prefer to always stay in an Epcot location so Boardwalk, Beach Club, Yacht Club, Swan or Dolphin is the way to go. . .
3. Jellyrolls is a dueling piano bar that expects interaction from the audience. . .we have several of them here in Vegas. . .definitely worth it. . .
4. Going through a divorce is hard. . .but keep your wits about you. . .not everyone who seems like the perfect match will be. . .I'm not the perfect match. . .just came up with answers to your questions. . .Also, give yourself time to grieve and then find the right person. . .and I mean the RIGHT person. . .

Okay, enough from "OLD" central. . .have fun. . .

Hi Paul,
I happen to *love* the Dining plan--although not as much as I did when it first came out, they've scaled it back. Even so, I've been able to eat in *much* nicer restaurants than I normally would have chosen. So, especially if you're going to be trying to create romantic moments, I'd say go for it...specific restaurant recommendations available on request. ;)

And yes, as was already pointed out, Jellyrolls is a bar. For breakfast, though, you can't beat the Boardwalk bakery pastries...(and that's a snack credit on the aforementioned Dining Plan)

:rolleyes1

Good luck

Hey Paul, I've missed talking to you. Hope things have been going good. There is good and bad about dining plan, in your situation it would probably be better, when i wen't last and took small children it wouldn't have been great as they don't eat enough to justify cost. I am so glad to hear you are getting excited about disney, last time I went was late September during the Food and Wine Festival, and I have to say it was great time to go. So if you can go during that, try it. Well that's my 2 cents worth, i"ll talk to ya again soon.

Hi Paul,
I have a friend that I think would be so interested in this sort of thing. I am waiting for her permission to email you her picture!! I just saw this post today!!

[marypoppinswannabe]

So, I just came back to this thread and it has grown quite a bit since I was here the last time....

I am dying to know, without having to go through all the posts, Did Uncle Paul finally find someone to show him the magic of disney?:rotfl2:

[upauld]

:scared: Ok I think I may make some people mad tonight but I hope not. Please one more day. This may sound like BS but I had some problems with my email. There are still some people that I want to here from. I promise By 8:00 PM EST you will know my decision either way. Sorry for the cliffhanger......Paul

[disneymiss]

:thumbsup2

[upauld]

O.K. I promised by 8:00 pm EST so here it goes...Frist though, I want to thank all of you. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. It finally came down to two people. One, I'm not so sure is fully into this. The other, has made me feel that she really is. This is the person I want to show me Disney. I would like to meet Alisa if she'll meet me. Will you???????......Paul

Paul, I would be honored to be the one to show you some of the things that make visiting WDW such a special experience. In my opinion, there is no better time than the end of September to visit. I promise it will be fun...and memorable.

This trip was already going to be full of "firsts" for me (even after all of my trips) - now I can share some of these "firsts" with someone!

Thanks for asking me! I happily accept :yay:

Congratulations, hoping you have a great time. Take your time, relax and enjoy the world, don't put to much pressure on yourself or each other to have a connection. If there is anyplace that can create magic, It's Disney. Keep us updated and let us know how it goes.

[niclmac]

I too will be there the end of Sept. I will be looking out for you guys!!!

This post may be a few weeks after the last one but still, you should read this.

I've got to say this was entertaining to watch/read....

I don't watch reality TV (reality TV to me would be the 6 o'clock news) and I don't do online dating (I'm a face time kinda guy).

I came to these boards to glean information about Disney and to find out what keeps the average Dissers boat afloat. I've come away with some very positive and helpful stories of YOUR experiences at Disney and your lives at home.

I understand the reasoning for having a solo/singles board is to meet people of similar interests(Disney) in similar situations(singular). What's really sad is this thread brought out some bad qualities in people and may have actually hurt some feelings (I can only conjecture). I stopped reading this thread when the finger pointing started and went to the end to see the resolution.

I'm not going to play Dr. Phil here and tell you how to live your life. What I will tell you is that you need to be very cautious when meeting someone for the first time. I work in the IT Dept for a school district and see some bad stuff happen to good people. I could go on and on about the interent; it is not the real world. There are real people out there and we need to make time to get out and meet them. I know alot of you have kids but you have to believe where there's a will, there's a way. Make time to get out. Again, this is just a cautionary note.

Remember why we all joined this site to begin with. WE LOVE DISNEY!!

Hmmm...interesting viewpoint. I'm not entirely sure if the intended audience was the single population in general or if warning was aimed at specific individuals. But, interesting viewpoint nonetheless.

[OlyWaguy]

What I'm really trying to say in your situation is to be cautious (lol, have I already said this).

There are common sense standards to online dating. The main one is never meet someone one on one, even in a public place. I've been in the education field long enough to see kids get in trouble for something that seemed so innocent. We can't let our own standards slip just because we think we know who's on the other end. This is a lesson we need to teach our kids by living it ourselves.

I'm sure Uncle Paul is a nice guy and so are alot of others with the same intentions, but it's not worth taking a risk , it never is. You need to meet these people in a group setting with others that you trust to watch over you. I know it may sound like a first night romance buster but it needs to be done for your sake and others who learn from you.

All of you can make assumptions about me and my intentions and I don't really care what you think. This is my bit of education to all of you since there are no guidelines set on this board that I see. I'm just tired of people doing stupid things. The internet has changed the face of dating. Sometiimes it wears a mask and you need to be aware of it..... I'll sit back down and shut up.

To do an about face now, I really hope you guys have a great time. I might see you down there. I at least know what Paul looks like.

[Tigger1]

I fit much of the criterior except I am already happily spooken for.

I do love the eye Candy though. What a hunk.

I am going to have to read the other 19 pages + of this thread. Are there more photos please.

So, DisneyDeeva and UPaul, how did it go? I just stumbled on this thread today, and realize that you were meeting at the end of September, a week or two ago, right? Was it a looooooooooove connection???

[lbklyn]

Me too! I just read this thread and I soooooooooooo have to know how it went!!!!!popcorn::
