[crazy4mm]

Hi all. I'm new here....though I have been looking around, esp. on the cake threads for a little bit now. Can't get enough Disney-talk so I'm excited to have finally registered!!

I'm looking forward to checking out all the different discussions DISboards has to offer!

We leave for our next WDW trip in less than 2 months! Sooooo excited.

[jenniea159]

Okay, so I have started two threads on this, but both times i have just happened to hit the right stuff and have been able to figure it out. But to be completely honest I have no idea how to start them. :confused3

So can someone give me the low down on how to actually start one that would be nice... :laughing: i feel pretty dumb.

[Lauragar]

Hi Everyone,

DH (Johngar), said I should so I did. I'm mostly into cruising, and can't wait to read all 254 pages of the DCL Hawaii cruise.

Thanks to all who most here,

Lauragar

[WildabouttheMouse]

My family and I are huge fans of the World. We are planning our 6th trip for this January. We have never been in the winter and are excited as to how it will be coming from the east coast to Florida in January. If anyone has any tips on how Florida is in Jan I would appreciate it.

Thanks:wizard:

[Svhadden]

Hello, all. I've been a lurker for quite a while and finally registered, so I'm a newbie. I love love love the Disney boards because every time I dig in, I find new tips to apply to our next trip...so THANKS!

We're counting down to our 5th trip to WDW. We'll be there in 26 days!:yay: We've always stayed at Pop, but we're trying out POR this year, and I'm really looking forward to it. Although, we're in the parks from open till close most days, so we rarely see a lot of our resort lol. Still, I think the change will be nice.

A little about us...I'm a homeschooling mom to my two great kids. M (daughter) is 10 and S (son) is 5. My husband and I are eat up with Disney-itis lol, and so are our kids. We're already talking about the day we go to Disney without kids, and dreaming of a Disney cruise (hoping they'll add departure ports closer to us???)

The first week of September, we gather in WDW with hundreds of other homeschoolers for a week-long event called The Ultimate Field Trip. It was started by a travel agency founded by a Disney loving homeschool family (we book through them every year). We keep in touch through the year on FB, but it's awesome to come together as a group once a year, and what better place to gather than DISNEY???

[Taffykids]

New to posting. I have enjoyed this board for a long time. Great people and helpful information. We are planning our fourth trip in October. We are keeping it a secrete from the kids for now!

Love this site ! Going to Disneyland in September and reading up on how to make it the best vacation ever with 4 kiddos. I have a question... do you guys know of any good sites like this one for Las Vegas trips? My sister is going to be 21 in January and I've been promising her we'd go to Vegas since she was 10!! (I'm 15 years older)... I'd LOVE a site like this one for that type of trip so I can find the best package deals. Let me know if you know any! Thanks!!

Thank you!:goodvibes

[Dreamer416]

I've been a lurker here since my family's first trip to WDW in 2007. I learned so much from the boards that helped make that first trip special, so thank you all for that!

We're looking forward to our second trip this November, and I'm excited to finally register and join such a great group of people. :)

[Lilacs chosen]

I have a question where to I paste at for my countdown timer that I see others have? I already made one up but not sure where to paste it at now?

[Dreamer416]

Look for the sticky for DIS Video Tutorials and follow the instructions for tickers. It shows you exactly how to create and paste your ticker.

Those videos are really a great help for newbies - without them I would have been totally lost!

Hello from England :flower3:, I'm a newbie to the site - what a fabulous wealth of information:yay:

My husband and I have been to Disneyworld twice on our own and once with our 2 DD's. We are planning our next trip for Oct 2012 so I'll no doubt have a ton of questions....:)

Welcome. There are 3 ways.

1. After logging in, click the link for your user name near the top right hand off the screen. Then click Statistics, then find all posts by your username. Any thread that has a response will show an icon with an open envelope. Closed envelopes mean there are not responses (generally as I have seen times where that is not the case). Click on your message to take you directly to your post or the thread question to take you to the start of the thread (assuming they are different). You can also do that for yourself other users by clicking their username inside the thread.

2. After posting while still inside the thread, find the thread tools button near the top right hand side of the screen. Click on subscribe to this thread. Then, select your notification preference. Remember to click the Add subscription button at the bottom.

3. After logging in, select user CP near the top left side of the screen. Select Edit options under Settings and Options. Find Message Notification. Change the Default Subscription Mode to the option that best suite you. Remember to click the save changes button.

Each one could serve a different purpose, but if you choose option 3, 1 and 2 are not necessary. I like one, so I can respond quickly when I am logged in and not have my inbox flooded with emails.

Welcome. Our last trip was in January, and the weather was amazing. It was mostly mid to high 70s. We even went swimming! It barely rained and was not humid (both of which happened a lot during our previous trip in October). Hopefully, you get the same beautiful weather for your trip. I would plan for possible cold weather and rain just in case. Check the forecast before you leave and pack accordingly. Have fun. We are going in December and hope it will not be too cold or rainy then either.

Welcome. My favorite thing to do at Disneyland is Breakfast in the Park With Minnie and Friends. Get a World of Color Dining Package or remember to get a fast pass for it as early in the day as you can. It is an awesome show.

Happy early birthday to you sister. You can get some good information on the Vegas forum of this site. I am from Vegas, so feel free to ask me a question if you do not get good answers from your thread. Every once in a while, I head over there. Usually, I post on WDW though. Everyone is usually really helpful on the DIS, so you will probably get good info without me).

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a short time and thought I should introduce myself. My name is Patti and I have a 14 yo daughter named Delaney. We are from IL but have been to WDW many times over the years because my folks lived in FL for a few years, so we had the perfect reason to go.

We are taking our first cruise on the Fantasy on May 19th!! :yay: My daughter still doesn't know. I plan on surprising her at Christmas. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to keep the secret...time will tell!

Thanks for the all the great info I've gotten so far!!

[GigglesBee]

Hi Everyone!

I just found these boards yesterday. I live in Central Florida and can't even count how many times I've been to the Disney parks. I have to admit I'm a bit ashamed of myself for all the things I'm learning about Disney through this site and others (that I never even knew existed!)

My husband and I bought season passes last November and plan to keep them up as long as we can. So, I thought I'd look around to see all the fun things we've been missing all these years. And...wow! Have we been missing!

This October, will be my first EPCOT Food & Wine experience! I'm SO excited! I bought tickets to the 3D Dessert event AND I made reservations (the same night) for the San Angel Mexican restaurant that I've been wanting to go to since I was a teenager (too many moons ago)! The Gin Blossoms are also playing that night so that will be our after-dinner/before-dessert entertainment. :o)

Anyway, enough of my babbling! I plan to read through this site a LOT and I hope to get to know a lot of you while doing it! :cool1:

[siczlo]

Hi everyone! I've been a lurker for awhile now. Love the tips on this board! We are going on our 3rd family trip in November. I am excited to catch the tail end of F&W festival and the beginning of Christmas! I'm too excited to sleep! :rotfl:

Welcome. :woohoo: Do not be ashamed of learning new things here. I am constantly learning new things here too, which is one of the main reasons I enjoy the boards so much. There is so much to do at WDW that even after multiple trips, you can still learn more. In addition to helping plan for the trips, the boards are also a fun way to kill time while waiting for your next trip.

Have fun at the W&F Festival. DH and I really enjoy eating around the world.

Welcome. :banana: That is prefect timing for a trip. The weather is starting to get nice (not humid) and all of the events make it so much fun there. We are going just before Christmas this year and are super excited as well. I never sleep, so I feel you on that one.

Welcome and enjoy the EPCOT Food & Wine. I know you want to go to San Angel Mexican restaurant, you may not want to do that with all the other choice you have at the Food & Wine. Take a look at the Food & Wine list and see if you would want to sample the food and wine from the different Country's. They have a very large selection and we never make ADRS when we are going to the Food & Wine. Too much good stuff to pass up.:dance3:

Whatever you decide, have a great time:banana:

[Starscream275]

Hey there everyone the name's Starscream275 but you can call me Joseph. Like all of you I'm a big disney nut it's been my childhood and basically Disney has been my life that is until they decided to churn out tween crap like High School Musical, Camp Rock and the hellspawn herself: MILEY CRYUS! I then decided to stop liking Disney altogether until a little something called: The Princess and the frog restored my love for Disney. But enough about that what you need to do about me is that I'm a hardcore fanatic on movies, video games, and cartoons alike, I'm a crazy, wacky, down-to-earth, no nonsense british boy who loves the sound of Ozzy Osbourne and I'm also a huge nut when it comes to Jim Carrey.

[kmedina]

Welcome Joseph. :woohoo:

[Starscream275]

And a very fine hello to you too!

[Juleschattin]

Hi there! I'm new to the boards, but not to Disney. Ever since I took my first trip to Disneyland in College with roomates, I have loved our disney trips. I was fortunate enough to marry a man that not only loves Disney as much as I do, but more than I do so we have expanded our trips from Disneyland only, to Disneyland and Disneyworld, and then we became DVC members and next month will be taking our first DCL trip.

Now that all my kids are in school I figured I could spend a little time talking Disney each day on here. :)

I have four kids- one boy and three girls. Ages 13, 11, 8, and 6. My son is the oldest.

thank you

[Tinkerpeas hubby]

Good Morning/Afternoon (whichever time zone you live in)

I am tinkerpea's (one if not the best subject matter expert on Disney I know) hubby and we have three boys together.
I hadn't been to Disney World before until 2006, when my wife convinced me to save hard and take the family away on a two week holiday, ever since I have been hooked. Since then I have been to Disney World three times, the second my wife and I got married at the Pavillion in September 2008. My third was September 2010 for three weeks and that was an amazing time, so we seem to have developed a pattern of every two years!
You guessed it, tinkerpea has twisted my arm once more and we have started booking our holiday for three weeks in September 2012!

I look forward to sharing experiences and information with you all, word of warning to some personalities I have been made aware of, I only tolerate constructive criticism and advice, i'd appreciate that the haters stay away unless they can provide something informative.

hello! Just trying to reach 10 post so i cam email!

[AtAuds]

Hello,

My name is Audrey and I am new to this site. Hubby and I have been going to Disney World nearly every year since we got engaged in 2004. It was that year that my hubby truly fell in love with Disney, especially since discovering there existed a Star Wars Weekend. Needless to say, my husband is an ardent fan of anything Star Wars. He recently just became a member of the Pacific 501st (can you say nerd?) We live in Hawaii and yes we have visited the beautiful Aulani Resort. While we would love to stay there, it is 10 minutes from our house and we would rather save our DVC points for Disney World. We leave tonight for Disney World, and we are looking forward to the Food & Wine Festival as first timers as well as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (as first timers). We are excited!!! :yay::woohoo:

Had joined here back 6 years ago or so but somehow had lost my login....Got a new one and getting all settled back in. Going to be going on our 3rd Disney Cruise in December 2011.:)

[justjohn29]

I just joined trying to trade my disney designer princess dolls. I've been a huge Disney fan all my life and so happy I found this board. It gives me another website to check out after Facebook and hopefully lots of new friends to be made.

[EverestSherpa]

I have been following the DISBoards for years now and have been thoroughly impressed with all of the knowledge on it. What an amazing resource. My title says it all, I am a Cast Member at Walt Disney World working at Expedition Everest in Disney's Animal Kingdom. I started out on the College Program back in January and have since transferred to a seasonal role. I love it. I get most of the perks as a Full-Time CM but with much less work. I will be coming back down in November to work and bring my family with me.

[EverestSherpa]

Joined the boards awhile ago now I'm finally starting to post! Got accepted to the College Program for Spring.

Congratulations! You'll have a blast. What role did you get accepted for? Best time to go is the Spring, the weather is gorgeous and you it's practically stress free (picks up during Spreak Bring Weeks, but other than that it's the off-season).

[threekochies]

Wow! This site is fantastic!

[gourmet_girl]

I'm headed to Orlando in May to participate in the Disney Culinary Program. The kicker? By the time I go I'll be 42 years old!!!!! Its all I can think about and instead of driving my family nuts I'm going to talk about it here. I'm also a former CPer (from 1989) so yes, I have an idea of what I'm getting into. Also very excited about DH and DS1 & 2 coming to join me for a week or two in June. The boys (12 and 14) haven't been since they were 1 and 4 and have no idea how much they'll love it!

I must be insane to do this!

How do i make the requisite posts so i can start enjoying the full benifits?????

That rule is in place to insure that the full benefits are for contributing members of our community and helps to cut down on spam. We have plenty of threads that you can join in the discussion or answer questions. You can quickly get 10 posts that way. :) Please don't just post multiple times on threads like this one as that is considered to be off topic and they may be deleted which removes them from your post count.

[bigpuppergator]

Thanks!

Hi there. The answer to my question might be in here somewhere, but there are just Way too many pages to read through ;) so I will just ask.

I started my first thread...a PTR today. I posted one little blurb and obviously want to add more. Do I just reply to my own thread everytime I want to add something? Or is there somewhere I can go where it already knows what settings (font and colors and stuff) I used? I saw a nice little video tutorial for setting up the tickers, are there more tutorials like that for threads? I know how to reply to someone else's thread, but not sure about how to make one myself.

You can go in and reply to your own thread and add more or if you have additional information that you think is important to the first post you can edit it.

There is some information in the FAQ thread found a few threads below this on that can help you out. There are drop down boxes at the top of the posting box that look very similar to any word processing program that you can use to change font/color/ size etc. Let me know if have problems with anything specific and I can try to help you. :)

[solana131]

Help

You just click on the New Thread button. This question would be posted on the Theme Parks Attractions and Stratagies Board.

Not exactly sure what you are asking but if you do not have a park hopper then the day you plan to be in Epcot you can NOT go to any other park with that ticket. The only way to go to another park would be to buy a completely separate one day ticket and generally that is not a financially wise decision.

The best option is just to reschedule your days so you are at the park for which every parade you want to see on that day, or to add the Park Hopper option to your tickets.

Hi everyone! My name is Tori and I've been a reader of these boards for a LONG time, but decided today that I should make an account and get involved so here I am! I'm leaving on Friday for my ~30th trip to Disney and have been super antsy about it lately. These boards have been the perfect thing to get me through the last few days!

[DisneyDaze928]

Hello All, I'm definitely new to DISboards.com, but I am sooooo happy to be here....While I am in the midst of planning a BIG family trip to WDW for October 2012, I decided, kind of on a whim, to do a December trip with my kids and hubby....

we got a deal we couldn't refuse on airfare and lodging and so the planning is beginning... I've been to WDW close to 10 times, but never during the Christmas holiday, so we are really looking forward to going....I figured that I could probably gain some pretty cool tips and feedback from this forum, so here I am...and happy to be here....:banana:

[emmster]

Hi! My name is Emily. I've been a podcast listener for a couple of years, and just finally got on the boards to look for some tips for our big family trip in January. My husband and I haven't been since 2005, my brother hasn't been since 2003, my parents last visited in 1994, and my sister in law will be doing Disney for her very first time. I look forward to "talking" to you fine folks about something we all love so much. :)

Hello everyone, this is officially my first post on the disboards. I love listening to the dis podcast so I thought I would register. I don't live to far from Disney and I got my first pass last month!!! But all my friends aren't Disney people so I guess I will be going solo a lot this year. I'll probably spend a lot of time in the Disney meets forum. Glad to be on the boards!

[North of Mouse]

Hi, have a very stupid question to ask, but what does the small solid color circle imply on the left corner of the posts - some are blue, others, green?? I am very computer challenged :confused3 .

[lovetoscrap]

Hi, have a very stupid question to ask, but what does the small solid color circle imply on the left corner of the posts - some are blue, others, green?? I am very computer challenged :confused3 .

Not a stupid question at all! :)

That just shows who is online. If it is green then that person is online using the DISboards. It can be a little misleading though because I usually leave my computer on and the DIS open all the time so my light will be green even if I am not home or am away from the computer. If it is blue then that person is not online--or has chosen not to show when they are online. There is a setting in your User CP that you can change so no one will know when you are on the DIS.

[North of Mouse]

Thanks :thumbsup2

[North of Mouse]

Please, another "dummy" question -sure there is somewhere else to ask this but searched and can't find it - Why are my posts stuck at 38? Also, why do only MY posts show "Edit" at the bottom right? I'm REALLY computer challenged and appreciate any help in advance. Thanks much!

Your post count is updated every time you post so no matter where you post it will show the current number. Right now you have 39 posts.

You are only allowed to Edit your own posts. You can use that button to add or take out information, make changes, correct any errors, post an update or even to change your thread title. To change the thread title you click on Edit and when that box opens you click on Advanced Edit. Advanced Edit will also open the posting box with the smilies and other formatting features. FYI, you can edit a post but there is not a way for you to delete a post completely. You can erase the content but it will still show that you posted or if it is a thread you started the thread will not be deleted. :)

I am not exactly sure what you are asking for but we have a DISigns board where people can help you out with designs that can be made into just about anything. I have used them to make magnets before. That board is found in the Just for Fun section near the bottom of the main forum page.

Take a look at the FAQ and the Video Tutorial Threads found right below this one on the Welcome Board. They will help you out.

There is not a way to change your username. If you would like to choose something else you need to just register a new account with the name you would like to use. I would suggest you do that before you work on your signature and do very many posts. If you need help let me know.

You will need to change the email address on this account first. You can use an email address that you don't use much or actually just make something up. Then you will be able to use your preferred email address to register a new name.

We're headed to Disneyland on February 24 to celebrate my daughter's 5th birthday and just booked Disney cruise (Magic) this coming May. I thought I drop in and say hello.

I've been trying to locate what a "sticky" is? :confused3 Can someone please help. I've been a member for a few years but I didn't really get into it as much as I seem to be now, now that I am planning a trip. Someone said the stickys are a great thing to read daily but I'm not sure what they are. I've tried "sticky" in the search but no help. :headache: Please and Thank you. Have a magical day!!!

[lovetoscrap]

Stickies are the threads that are "stuck" at the top of each forum, just like this one is. They remain at the top of the thread no matter how often they are posted on. They also say "Sticky" before the thread title.

There are also Announcements that you may see at the top of the forum before the thread title section starts. Sometimes there is information on current WDW deals there. Also any news and major announcements usually shows up on our main forum page (www.disboards.com) at the very top. Also you can check out our information site www.wdwinfo.com for information you need for planning.

Hey all! I'm Dani. I'll be 24 in a few days, and am a lifelong Disney fan! Also, going back to WDW for the 3rd time in 1yr in June!

Also, in the midst of brainstorming for a DFTW (with permission from the boy, who is an even bigger Disney lover than I), and my internet searching has led me here.

Hope to talk to ya around the boards! :cutie:

[emminshka]

Hi everyone,

My name is Emma and i live in Australia, and i am going to WDW for my honeymoon in October 2012 for the first time. We are also going on a disney cruise for 3 nights.
I am so excited and can't wait. This forum is fantastic and a huge thank you to the creators and members for the posts! :cheer2:

[61maris61]

New to these boards but not to Disney World. First trip was 1978 for our honeymoon; this will be DW's & mine 5th or 6th trip, kids (22-23) 4th, granddaughter's (3 yrs old) first.

I certainly love Disney, but I'm also a big cruising fan, and a lot of our vacations have been cruising vacations - just haven't found a Disney cruise we can afford yet!!

We'll be staying first at Wyndham Bonnet Creek, then Vacation Village at Parkway (yes, I've spent hours looking at those threads). This site is loaded with very useful info and I look forward to spending more time perusing it.

[guccilove]

hello everyone! i'm new to the boards, and new to WDW hopefully this year!! we're planning for the end of November for our very first WDW visit. i'm already excited and researching like crazy right now. I haven't booked yet, but I will soon. who's going? for sure, my husband is (DH?), and my DD10 and DS5. i think i did those right.... hehe.

[DisneyWorldTraveller]

Hi Guys,

Where do I start???? I suppose HELLO is a good place hey! :cheer2:

I've been checking this site out on a few occassions but never hopped onto a pc to sign up.... I do everything from my iPhone lol

I just stumbled across this site when I was searching for info on SOLO TRAVEL to WDW as I'm braving a trip to the world all the way from Down Under alone. I'll miss my 2 kids alot as they'll be with my ex husband and i did feel and still do a little GUILTY for booking flights without them.

My kids aged 5 and 7 have already been to Disneyland LA in 2009, Hong Kong Disneyland in 2010 and in December 2011 I took them to Europe for Christmas and we had 4 nights in Hong Kong Disneyland to break up the journey to UK, then the week before Christmas we had 4 nights in the Executive Suite at Disneyland Paris' Newport Bay Club- that was our AMAZING Xmas pressie form my brother and he came with us. I'm concluding that the kids are not deprived and I will take them to WDW when they are going to REMEMBER it fully..... It's an expensive trip from Australia!!!!

Anyways, I'm looking forward to getting to know some like minded Disney Crazy people from anywhere in the world. Any tips on Solo Travel to WDW????? I went in 1998 when I was a Travel agent but i was put in a group of other agents so i wasn't exactly alone despite not knowing anyone before I left for the trip. This trip is about finding myself and I've already registered for the 10 miler Tower of Terror run for 29th September. Anyone else going to be there around that time or doing the run themselves???

Thanks for reading x:yay:

Hi, On the main page once you log in, there is a separate thread called "Disney for Adults and Solo Travelers." There are so many great resources here to help you plan. Happy Planning!

[siskaren]

There's a whole forum here on DISboards for adult and solo travelers:

[DisneyWorldTraveller]

Hi guys thanks so much for ur advice and the link... I'm going to check it out right now.... While I lie in the sun watching (half watching) the kids Play on the playground.

[LovingDisney2012]

I am new to the board and did a search for how to start a thread, but no posts came up on the topic. Can anyone tell me how to start a new thread (not a reply to a post)? I googled it, and it said there is a new thread button, but I cannot find one.
Thanks!

[siskaren]

The new thread button is at the bottom of every page in each forum.

[LovingDisney2012]

The new thread button is at the bottom of every page in each forum.

That's what I read on google, but for some reason, that does not show up for me. The only option I have is "post reply".:confused:

[lovetoscrap]

You need to be on the main page of a forum (like the Welcome Board) where all the thread titles are listed. If you have opened a thread to read it will only give you the Post Reply option. On the page with the thread titles you will have the button for New Thread.

[siskaren]

The post reply button is at the bottom of a thread page (this particular thread is titled "Welcome to the DIS boards !!"); the new thread button is at the bottom of a forum page (this thread is in the forum titled "Welcome to the DIS").

[Mauicshell]

There are SO many abreviations! How do you find out what people are talking about?

[siskaren]

There's a sticky in this forum titled "A List of Common Abbreviations."

Hello everyone! I have been enjoying this site for many many years. I have finally decided to say hello! My family loves Disney and we try to go every year. We are once again planning on trekking down there for Fall Break!

[HFBelle]

Hi! Quick question... How do you get the ability to post a photo for yourself? And how are you able to change the earning my ears title under your name?

[siskaren]

The title under your name is determined by how many posts you have, so you're not able to change it yourself (I don't know what the levels are, but I would imagine you can find it somewhere under FAQs.)

As for posting a picture, if you're talking about under your name, click on User CP, then select Edit Avatar under Settings & Options. If you're talking about at the end of your posts (like in lovetoscrap's post), select Edit Signature under Settings & Options.

ETA: I just took a closer look at lovetoscrap's post, and realized that she has links that show how to do those things. :rotfl2:

[Farmland Fun Family]

Hello Everyone!

I am a long time reader (lingering and drooling), and have finally decided that it was time to participate. :surfweb: I am looking forward to interacting with you all and maybe even getting the chance to meet some of you sometime!:goodvibes

We very much enjoy Disney in every way that we can! We take part in Pin Trading, Love to indulge in the many Dining opportunities, and have decided to try out the whole Vinylmation trading thing on our upcoming trip in April.

I have used much of the good advice that has been posted on here over the last few years... so thanks to everyone for that! :worship:

On the upcoming trip, I am hoping to find the time to do a dining review for everyone. popcorn::

Well with all that said .. will see you all around on here.. happy to talk to anyone, so don't be afraid to say hi :)

[HFBelle]

ok thanks very much! I'm on here most of the time from a mobile devcie, so it's difficult to figure things out sometimes!

[lovetoscrap]

Hi! Quick question... How do you get the ability to post a photo for yourself? And how are you able to change the earning my ears title under your name?

You can change the words under your name to anything you want. The titles like Earning My Ears are the default. Go into User CP/ Edit Details and you can put what you want in the Custom User Title section. Many people put something else there. What you can't do it make it in color or move-- only our Tag Fairy can do that and if you mess with the Custom User Title after she makes it pretty then you will lose what she wrote.

The title under your name is determined by how many posts you have, so you're not able to change it yourself (I don't know what the levels are, but I would imagine you can find it somewhere under FAQs.)

As for posting a picture, if you're talking about under your name, click on User CP, then select Edit Avatar under Settings & Options. If you're talking about at the end of your posts (like in lovetoscrap's post), select Edit Signature under Settings & Options.

ETA: I just took a closer look at lovetoscrap's post, and realized that she has links that show how to do those things. :rotfl2:

:thumbsup2 Except how to make your own Custom User Title! I had to go in and try to remember how to do that. :)

[AndreeaScott]

Hello. I'm new here and hopefully I will help the community.

[lejen]

Hey all, I'm a local to Orlando and so i'm new to the DISboards but definitely not to Disney. I'm a florida baby, and since i've been on here I just love the camaraderie that is here.

I've finally decided that I wanna be a part of this. :D

Looking forward to learning about youuuu.

this site is great

[yoho843]

I can't find any thread to address my question and hope you can help.
Today I posted replies to three Points for Rent posts and also sent PM's to each poster. I have read the guidelines and tried to post accordingly. However, I noticed that on all three posts there is a red circle at the bottom of the purple box which contains my username. I don't see this on any other posts. I did see one that was green, but most are gray. What does this mean? I found something about red being a "negative reputation", but it wasn't clear just what this means...doesn't sound good. How do I find out what the problem is? Perhaps this is why I am getting no responses.
I have successfully rented three times previously with no problems.
I would appreciate your response.

[siskaren]

I positioned my cursor over the circle at the bottom of the box under your name (which on this board seems to be purple) and got a message that said "yoho843 is offline." I checked one of the threads you referenced and found one with a green circle which indicated "<name> is online now." I don't know what red might mean, but I would assume it's nothing to worry about since green and purple aren't.

That just indicates if you are online or not. Has nothing to do with a reputation and people rarely even look at that unless they are trying to track down a moderator!

Thank you...I'm relieved! Guess anytime I'm looking at it, it will be red. LOL!

Hi all,
I'm new too! (well sort of)
I signed up for my account way back in I think February, and just "stalked" around to see what this was all about.:cool2:
Well, I'm VERY impressed and glad I'm here.

I used to be a member on another site that sadly dropped its forums. I was missing some Disney camaraderie.

As you can tell by my "name", I'm a sewer (seamstress, fabric lover/hoarder, etc.)
I am also a crafter of all kinds, which often gets me in alot trouble. :upsidedow

I am very eager to see what is available here and participate.:flower:

[FancyNancy]

Hi Everyone! Just introducing myself. My daughter and I are going to be at Disney in 3 weeks plus change! I joined up in March so I though I would pop in and say hey!

I notice a ton of abbreviations used on the boards. It would be so helpful if someone could start a thread with a list of those abbreviations and what they are short for so some of us newbies wouldn't be so confused! (or maybe it's just me) :thumbsup2

New to the board. Planning a trip in '13 with my kids and their families (16 people) and our two exchange students that we've had (2 + 5). My one daughters in-laws want to come also (2) and my other daughters in-laws will come if their daughter and family can come (2 + 5). So far, that's 32 My one daughters friend wants to bring her family also (5) Was going to be the nice grandpa/dad and buy everybody Mickey Bars, but I think that's out. I think it's turning into a trip where you might just see some of the others and maybe not.(

Couple questions. What are pins (something to do with discounts) and when can one start to make reservations for 2013? Also, my one daughter has 6 in her family and the other has 5. What's the best deal over all, being most value resorts only hold 4?

Enjoying reading all the post.

[THEVACATIONFAMILY]

Well first off, let me start out by saying "WELCOME" to the best site for everything Disney. Pins are codes that may be attached to your name when you call Disney Reservations, you have to ask if there may be a code attached to your name. You get these by ordering Vacation Planning DVD's, save up Vacations on DisneyWorld.com also order free maps from the Disney website. Also, AAA Auto Insurance has discounts for members or Disney's Visa Card has discounts as well. These all will help you save on your vacation. Now through any Value Resorts, you can requests adjoining rooms, but I would ask way in advance, that way you'll know for sure that you can get adjoining rooms. I hope I answered some of your questions, if not, I know someone, who has more knowledge about these subjects, will be able to assist you. Have a magical day and I hope your trip will be the best trip ever :thumbsup2:wizard:New to the board.

Hello everyone! First post to the boards, just getting my feet wet! Love the site! My family and I took our first trip to WDW last April and LOVED IT (as we knew we would)! This site has kept me informed and excited about our next trip! Thanks for all the hard work and keep it up!

1st Trip Details:
Apr 16-23 2011
Camped at Fort Wilderness (I will definitely be on those forums!)
Experienced all 4 parks (Did the total Disney Rookie move and ran my family
ragged from 7-8am until 10-11pm every day)
Had dining plan that was a life saver!
Great experience for all of us!

[daryl82much]

Thanks for the info on pins. Think I'll start playing around on the Disney site. Free maps would be fun just to study and of course a vacation planning video is great fun to watch and dream over. Thanks again

[THEVACATIONFAMILY]

Just wanted to reply back to say, You Are Very Welcome. Just remember, people here are either first timers and or just Love Everything Disney, you'll always somehow find an answer here. May you a terrific Easter and have a Magical Day. I know we have a trip planned for late August, and I know, I truly cannot wait, I LOVE EVERYTHING DISNEY. Once again, you are very welcome.:thumbsup2Thanks for the info on pins. Think I'll start playing around on the Disney site. Free maps would be fun just to study and of course a vacation planning video is great fun to watch and dream over. Thanks again

Hi Nobtis, I'm happy for you, but a little envious that you were able to sail on the Fantasy. There is a great Cruise Line Forum here on the boards, that you may find helpful, in addition to all your expperience from your previous trip in planning your next trip.

Are the other cruise lines a better deal?

Sorry for this really stupid question, but what does bump mean when looking to rent points?

[siskaren]

I'm not aware of it having any meaning with regards to renting points; it's just a way to move (or bump) a thread to the top of the page.

[North of Mouse]

Hi, hope someone can help me here - don't really know where to go with this question. Since the Dis was updated earlier this month, they make me go through the "log in" process everytime I post - whether it's been 5 min. or 30 min. or everytime I get back online. They would NOT accept my old password that has worked perfectly - gave me a new one that's crazy with letter caps, small letters, and numbers. STILL, I have to re enter it EVERY TIME I get online. I'm going NUTS. Can someone please help, or tell me where to go to get help? Thank you so much :confused3
