Welcome to the DIS Boards!!

[martyshoney]

I have a question that is bugging the heck out of me. I found the abbreviations page but where does it describe the DH, DD, and so on when it is referring to kids or family members? I have tried to figure that out and I feel like a dummy! PLEASE help!

[Heinster]

Thanks for the warm welcome :blush:

Hey,

I've finally joined officially!! I've been enjoying this site for awhile then decided to join but thats as far as it went till today. I guess I was nervous because I don't know how to do all this cool stuff (like put a picture underneath my name :confused3 ...etc) and I'm afraid no one will respond. :rolleyes: Silly, I know!!
Well either way, I really enjoy reading all of the neat threads but it would be real great to get involved finally too.

Hi. Just found this board today. I'm a big WDW and Disney fan, been to WDW about 6 times, Disneyland the same. Haven't been to WDW since '99, when I asked my future wife to marry me. We just had our 2nd kid, waiting till he's 6 to go back. For now I'll imagine while reading trip reports.

Hi! Everyone, new to this site but I have been reading it for a month now. I'm a mom of two grown kids, I have a hubby, 4 cats and 2 birds, and tigger is my favourite character. I hope to gain lots of info on Disneyland as my husband and I are planning a trip next year for our 25th anniversary. We have not been to Disneyland since our honeymoon and can't wait. We were originally planning to go back to WDW again ( which we have been to many times) but since this is such a special anniversary I thought it would be nice to go back to DL. And when I'm happy ,he's happy :love: heh, heh
I'll be thinking of lots of questions and posting soon. ( all this forum stuff is new to me, kinda over my head, my son just rolled his eyes at me when I asked him how to do it :confused3 , I'm old, what can I say.)
Bye.
I hope this goes in the right spot.

[Along4theRide]

Love these boards, but I'm a little lost...is there a spot that lists all of the acronyms being bandied about?

I agree, I have been planning and researching our trip for the past month or two and yet still run across some things that confuse me. :surfweb: Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I am still trying to figure everything out as well. I really loved reading this site, so I thought I would finally join in. My husband and other family memembers with the exception of my beutiful princess loving daughter, do not share in my love
for everything disney. So this gives me other disney fans to talk to.

[Mountain Fan]

New guy here. Great site!

I am married to a wonderful wife, have a 15 yr old daughter and have a baby boy due yesterday!

[hssaved1]

Someone recommended this site to me when I said I wanted to cruise. I am part of a family of five and never thought I could afford to do it. I am told that cruises are the way to go as far as vacations so I am investigating.

Hi everyone! Another newbie here, although I've been lurking for a month now. I love this site. We don't have a trip to WDW planned at present (boo hoo) but the next best thing is getting on here and reading everyone's trip reports. :surfweb:

[FinsUp!]

[oldhag]

I changed my email address and I tried to update my file but I cannot remember my username and password. Can someone help me? I don't want to re-register because I just became able to post pictures and we're going to WDW in 1 week and I want to post my pics. Any suggestions how I find out my username and password - is there somewhere I can email? HELP!HELP!! :confused3

[tinkerbell1953]

Hi everyone :wave: . I am new to the DIS boards. My mom, aunt & I are going in 2 days to WDW :yay: Plus we are planning a trip for Dec 08.

[MomtoGKC]

Hi - another newbie here. I already posted my first question without coming here to introduce myself first - sorry! I live in FL but haven't been to Disney since we moved here 5 1/2 years ago. Since then I've had three kids so the time never seemed right (now they're 5, 3 and 18 mos.). Before that I had been a bunch of times - somewhere around 15 I think. My first trip was when I was 4.

I decided the time is finally right for my family's first trip this year. I'm running the 1/2 marathon which is on my daughter's 4th birthday. Then the next day is my husband's b-day too! We're going with another family which should be fun. We're staying at The Beach Club Villas and booked lunch at Cinderella's Castle for my daughter's birthday.

I'm looking forward to all the good advice on here!

[dizchick]

Hi! This is one of my first posts on the board and I'm glad to finally be joining in! I've been registered for a while now, but have just been reading mostly, not posting! I did the College Program in '02 and now go back and visit when I can with my friends, family and boyfriend. I'm very excited b/c my boyfriend and I are going back to visit at the end of October! :sunny:

[dinkydau]

A little about me, never went to Disney until I was 50 yrs. old, it was just for kids....I thought. Well DW talked me into going in May 2003. To say I was hooked is an understatement, have been back 4 more times since then, and are planning another trip for early 2007. Just found this board, and I love it already !!!! :banana: :banana: :smokin:

Can someone steer me in the direction of how to get a countdown timer for my upcoming trip in two weeks? Thank you so very much!!

[All Morganic]

Another newbie here. Looks like I'll be hanging out around here. It seems to be a great place and I've already found tons of info and received great advice. We're heading to Florida in April and it's nice to have found a place to be all Disneylike till then. :)

[Lovin'Dumbo]

[mickey_obsession]

Hello, I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now and I finally decided to register :thumbsup2

My next trip to Disneyland is coming up in about 3 weeks but since this is the first time I'll be going without my parents or little brothers ( :woohoo: ), I'm trying to read tips around here to experience the park in a whole new way (like... without my dad telling me I'm too old to take pictures with characters and wanting to go home at 6pm :rotfl: )

I hope to meet some nice people too! I'll see you guys around :wave:

[drivencrazy]

Welcome! I'm so jealous you are going! Yes, you can get healthy snacks at the CBR. They have a nice little shop that sells fruit and snacks and of course yummy sugary stuff too! It is located in the food court. We actually always stop at a grocery store once we arrive in Orlando and pickup some snacks and water so that we do not have to pay some crazy amount once at the world. If you will have a car when you are there, I would try that. If you do not, the food court will work too! Enjoy your trip!

Hi there!! another newbie here. Hubby and I are going to Disneyland Paris in March and taking the children to WDW in June. Have been to DLP in 1993, 2000,2001,2002,2003 and WDW 1999. Whilst helping my friend get her autograph scrapbook ready (I own a scrapbooking store) I got all fired up and the excitement led to us booking our trip. DLP in March was a bonus. When we booked through Virgin we got freee Eurostar tickets from London to Paris....what better excuse for more of Mickey?????

Great site BTW

Hello Everyone!

I went to WDW for the first time in 16 years this past September with my boyfriend. (We don't have children.) I had a fantastic time and am already planning my next trip. I love all things Disney! Currently wearing my new tinkerbell watch that I got for Christmas yesterday!

This is my first post, however I have been a voyeur for a while. GREAT SITE :love: I'm a brand new DVC owner :banana: and anticipating lots of questions.

[heretothere]

Hello all,
My family and I are trying very hard to save up some $ in order to take our very first trip to Disney in Oct. (hopefully)! I figured this was a great place to start as far as getting sage advice from you seasoned vets! I have a few quick questions to start off:

1.) I have seen some people post that they almost have their package paid off? Is there a site I can go to & set up an account to make payments towards our vacation?

2.) I'm really leaning toward staying at AKL. We all absolutely LOVE animals & I think this would be an amazing experience. My ds is a very picky eater though and is sure to not even want to try much of the African dishes they offer. Is that enough to consider a stay somewhere else?

3.) In your opinion, what is the best guide to peruse as we are planning this trip. I work at Barnes and Noble and I can tell you that we have two entire shelves dedicated to Disney Guides alone. Birnbaum's seems to be the most popular, but that doesn't always mean it's the most helpful!

Thanks in advance for your advice! I'm looking forward to hearing from you and then leaving my own advice later next year! (I think I'm more excited than the kids!!!) :goodvibes

Hi,

We are new to the boards and when we try to post to the thread on our upcoming dcl on April 14, 2007 and doe not allow us to ? Not sure why as it keeps asking me to sign in when I try to post a reply? This doesn't happen when we try other replies such as this one.

Thanks

We figured it out....looking forward to this board as so far it has been filled with tons of useful info even for Disney veterans/fanatics, now I just have to learn the lingo...

[D15NEY]

[Mcduck71]

Hi new here, big scrooge Mcduck fan. Finally met my idol during the Mickey Christmas party last year:yay: My wife and i have been going to Disneyworld since we started dating 5 years ago:hug: It's a traditon to go either the 1st or 2nd week of December b/c it's just beautiful to see all the Christmas decorations plus it's cooler and not as crowded, Unfortunately we missed this pass Christmas trip b/c we went to the Philippines for a month, not knowing Disney Tokyo was only an hour flight away:mad: Our first baby is due at the end of april and looking forward to starting a new tradition!!
God Bless

Hello,

I am also new here. I was given a link to this site by someone else I know online. I only live minutes from Disneyland, and have gone many times, but have never been to Disney World in Florida. We are scheduled to go in April during spring break. Which I know is one of the craziest times to plan a disney vacation, but circumstances make that the only time we can get there due to school and other extra curricular activities the kids have. My dad and I will be taking my four kids and my niece. I think we are staying at the All Star's Movie Hotel. Any tips are greatly appreciated :)

I'll be surfing around seeing what intel I can obtain to make our vacation run more smoothly. Kid ages range from 4 y/o to 16 years old, so it should be interesting.

[I Heart Disneyland!]

Hello!!! I am new tonight to this board! Looking forward to chatting with you all!!! Some may know me from elsewhere!!! :cool1:

[Therinian]

What the heck is a "Focker"? :confused:

Obviously I'm new or I'd NEVER ask that question--lol! I understand that DISsers like to greet one another and Lime Green Mickey Heads (LGMH) are involved, but "Focker"??? :confused3

Apparently I need to watch "Meet the Fockers" to get this? :happytv:

HELP!

[speckledfrog]

I just wanted you all to know you have a GREAT community here!
I have been a regular poster on many boards for years and I have never received such an outpouring of help as I did here today. I posted one message and was greeted with amazing generosity.

Thanks so much and be proud of your friendly online community here.

Hello!
I am new to posting but wanted to come out of the woodwork to say THANK YOU! My DH sprung our very first family trip to Disney on me at the beginning of December....we leave next Sunday (1/14/07) :scared1:

Without this board I think we would have wasted a ton of time and missed so many things. Thank you all for sharing your tips, experience and photos! I booked ADRs mainly by how good the food LOOKED!

You all are truly appreciated!

[Lil Lumpy]

I have been Lurking for a few days and but I have been on here so much I decided to join. I am so Happy to be Part of this Great Family. We are planning a trip in July with my In-Laws before we move out of the country for a few years. I am so excited for this trip. I have been a few other times but never knew there were so many extra things to know and do. So thank you all for all the info you pass on.

Second post here. My wife has posted here for some time. And it is clear I need to stay informed to be a better informed husband and dad.

[tristessaFL]

First post...

Hello! I'm Heather, 25 years old, and a newbie here, but not a newbie to message boards in general. I belong to more of them than I can really keep track of...so what's one more, right? :)

I've lived in the Orlando area for almost 17 years now. I moved down from Boston with my family when I was 9 years old. I'm not a huge fan of living here, but it does have a few perks. #1 for me is being so close to one of my favorite places in all of Florida...Epcot! I'm a huge sucker for World Showcase. As a matter of fact, I was just telling my DH that I could go to Epcot everyday for a month and never get sick of it! He agreed. I rarely go to any of the other parks because when I get an opportunity to go to WDW, I always choose Epcot. An exception to that was last month when my pre-teen cousins were in town. I offered to take them to one park of their choice (secretly hoping they would choose Epcot); of course they chose MK. We still had a blast though!

Oh! And DH is also a former CM! I guess that's pertinent info for this board. He started when he was 19 in custodial services on the overnight crew and cleaned the TTC for a few months, then moved to Main Street. He used to hose down the street on Main Street in the wee hours when no one else was there. A few months after that, he got his big break! They had auditions for characters, so he tried out and made it! So he did that for almost a year and loved it for the most part. He has lots of interesting stories from that time in his life. Hee! So between the two of us, we know a whole bunch about WDW.

Anyways, I'm glad to be here. Hope to meet many of you around these boards very soon! :)

[Tink3Belle]

Thanks for welcoming me back I had almost 500 posts before I needed to change my username and found out I could not do it without reregistering it.
It was hard posting all those message since we had dial up. So here I go again!

[car55]

I agree with you on World Showcase. I spent hours there and still didn't see it all. what a great day.

Hello everybody! I’ve lurked these boards for the longest time and now I’m actually a member! I started lurking in 2005 when my brother talked me into going to Disney for the first time and suggested this site. Now I can’t get enough of this board! Anyways, how is everyone doing? :)

[pl'smama]

car55, was that your last trip in 2005? I could go back right now and we only just got home a month ago!! I guess I am officially a fanatic now!!

Just a side question for you. How do you get the message you want to reply to to show up in your comment?

Thank you

:banana: Hi, its easy to reply to a post. At the right side of the message box there is a little box that says quote. Click on that and my message will come up, than you can reply to it. As for my last trip it was in July 2005. A large family trip that we still talk about. I would like to try to go this summer. After I came home I was trying to find anything that reminded me of my trip. One of those things was the video of the top 7 must sees.( Do they still show that ?) For a while my cable provider was showing it. after they stopped I was looking for the video and my search took me here. I'm Hooked. :cloud9:

Thanks car55, I appreciate the help.

I recently met a lady at work who went to WDW a few weeks before me and now we have our trips in common (as well as this insesant need for all things Disney!!). But we chat about things that other people think is nuts. But it keeps the trip and memories alive!! Now, just flipping through our photos on the computer and watching the video of the fireworks brings me right back there. I hope you can get to go this summer. Do you have children? I have one daugther, aged three, almost four. She keeps asking when we can go back!!

:laundy:

Sorry, the laundry guys have no significance at this point, but I really wanted to try them!!

Thanks!! That's wonderful to hear! We are really excited!

[pl'smama]

Avasmom, we are also a family of three and the room size at POFQ was perfect. The DD is almost four so we asked for and received a bed rail because the beds are a bit high. If you need one ask for it when you check in and they will deliver it to your room.

Are you taking the Magical Express? It is a great service, but the wait for your luggage to be delivered is several hours. I suggest you pack your swimsuits in your carry on ( they have towels there) in case you do not go out to a park right away. We did not pack the swimsuits and I regretted it. We were all too tired to head out to a park at five pm so we stayed at the resort. The luggage arrived shortly after 6pm (we got there at 3pm). We passed the time at first by getting something to eat, checking out the grounds, shopping, but it would have been nice for our DD to swim right away. Sorry for my two cents :cutie: :cutie:

Have a wonderful time on your trip!!

Thank you!!Our DD is 4 as well! We are actually flying into Sanford and renting a car, they had a special $49 each way per person, so we couldn't pass that up! But, we may just check out the resort on the first evening, so keeping the swimsuits handy is a great idea!:cool2:

Thanks also for the tip about the bed rail.

[KarenRosieRay]

Hi guys. Brand new here!! Wanting to go to Disney in Oct. And am starting some research!!! Can't wait to meet everyone!! :)

[SimmerBaggins]

Another Newbie...been to DW twice, going back again in March. This time & last, we stayed in a timeshare right on the main street just outside the DW gates/main street -- I'm so not remembering everything right!! It's kind of disheartening not to go stay in a resort, and we wanted to try the mealplan thing, but it's a no-go without a resort stay. But, for the price we are paying (pittance) for the room, we just won't make the leap to stay on the reservation.

Maybe next time....

In any case, my very best friend told me about this board, and although I don't have a lot of extra time on my hands, I do want to "beef up" on the best advice before we go again! Thanks for putting this together!!

[SimmerBaggins]

EWWWW!!!! My post number was #666!!! This can't be a good start!:scared1:

[Marble8]

Hello! We are new to DISboards. We are a family of 8 (6 children--4 girls and 2 boys). Kids ages are: Craig-15, Allison-12, Hannah-10, Zachary-9, Madison-7, and Haley-6. My name is Melinda and DH is Kevin. We have loved our Disney trips in the past and really get into planning them. Last time we made shirts for all of us for every day we were gone (and we had 3 extra people--so a shirt each day for 17 days x 11 people). We're going again in about 2 weeks and have made shirts for the 8 of us and are in the process of designing zippered hoodie jackets in case its cold (we can roll those up and put in a bag, or the kids can tie around their waists). We are glad to become members of this board :)

[Nanb]

Well Definitely enjoying the boards and have to try to check in some time:)
Thanks everyone for all the info. DS and I are going to stay at POFQ
Dec 13-20 2007 and am incredibly excited. Looking forward to learning more
Thanks again,

Depends on when in Aug. lots of kids start back to school in August so may not be so bad. I live in SanDiego and go there all the time. Some days are busier than others. If you are going to be out this way it would be a shame to miss going if you have never been. If you were to only choose one park than go to Magic kingdom because your kids are young.

Also have you looked on the Disney land Threads????

Have a great time...:thumbsup2

Wanted to say HI to everyone. Just joined up this morning. Now come the long task of finding my way around this place. And finding the threads in which I want to contribute. After reading a few, I can already tell that the people here are much more friendly and supportive to new members than I've experienced on other sites with many senior members being condescending and intolorant of us newbies. I'm looking forward to lots of fun discussions and boatloads of information.
Oh, yes, I have a strange, dry sense of British type humour. So watch out.:joker:

Hi all,
First timer to DIS
My wife and I are DVC members and frequent visitors to WDW. Always talked about the possibility of working there in the winter months - now both retired and ready to pursue part-time employment. Looking for info on reasonable housing in the area, etc. Any CM's out there that can help with answers to our questions?

Hello everyone. I start by saying at last I have found a place to gush about how much I love disney. I have a few questions. I wrote a signature in the beginning without understanding what this meant. I noticed that most posters end with tickers and visit histories. I like this and am wondering if this is what signatures are. I can't seem to find a way to add my signature at the end of each post. Help. Thanks

Hi I'm new here. I registered a couple of days ago but I'm finally getting around to posting! Anyway just wanted to say I like this site and find it very helpful.

Hello,

I am not sure how this works and I need help figuring out where to go to read about it or something like that. I noticed that it said that I cannot e-mail people nor can I private message people until I have a certain number of posts. Where am I suppose to go to get the posts? I am planning a trip to WDW in late October 2007! I am very excited about it!

what questions do you need help with and everytime you reply like you did here or ask a question that counts as a post...you have 12 posts at this time. Look to the left under your signiture and it will tell you your # of posts.

I like it when everyone posts their questions as a reply that way we can see them and learn too. Good luck planning your trip, what stage are you in the planning process? I just made my reservations yesterday, asked my boss for the time off (and it was approved) and am now trying to make lists of everything we want to do while we are there. I am planning a birthday party for my son during the time we are there so I'm trying to make that day extra special since all of my family will be there celebrating with us.

Hi to all.
We've planned out first in-park visit to WDW in April 2007 (thanks to this site and the WDW insider) we "rented" points from a helpful DVCer. So far, everyhting has been great!
Love the site and all the info. I would like to know how to add the countdown ticker to my signature though....

[Ckatsu]

Been lurking a couple of weeks now and the information here is Great!. I wanted to thank all of you for your thoughtful and informative contributions.

I'm in the process of planning my family's first trip to DL coming up in Christmas 2008. It'll be my first time back to DL in 26 years, I'm sure things have changed since then. ;)

Helpppppp I keep getting misdirected to a google search site whenever I click on any post on any topic in the Disboards. I'm not sure what's wrong.

Thanks,

Hi. My name is Jenny. I am a huge Disney fan. I have been to Disneyland too many times to count and was directed over here from a friend at Mouseplanet to research about our trip to WDW. This is such a terrific and informative site. I look forward to learning lots about WDW for our first trip in 2009! I have a Disney muggle DH and 3 great kidlets.

Hello everyone!

I'm new to the DIS boards. I'm glad to have found a place where I can share my love of all things Disney.

We just returned a week and a half ago from WDW.

I hope to read lots of the posts and try to get up to speed to begin contributing!

[ehutch79]

I want to post my trip report. I think it will be very therapeutic for me and help me receive some closure due to my post vacation depression. But I can not figure out how the heck to do it, and I have read a lot.

I am new to the Disboards, and we are booking a vacation to Disney for mid-May and are looking to rent points for a 1-bedroom villa. Please reply if you have points available. Can do paypal or otherwise. Thanks! It is us and a toddler who is turning 3 in June. :)

[Goofernumber9]

I am really not sure what is happening. I am the one that needs accomadations and I keep getting people asking me. Unfortunatley this site is not very friendly and there is no one who can assist you. Again I am sorry for any confusion. Good Luck to you in finding what you need.

If you are looking for rooms at a WDW resort you should be posting on the Resorts board.

If you are looking to purchase points then you need to ask on the DVC rent and trade board here on the DIS.

This site is very friendly but you need to ask in the right place and you will get a lot of answers.

[Goofernumber9]

I am so glad you gave me this info. I have been going nuts on how to ask a DVC member to buy some points for our vacation. I hope to talk to you again. Take care and thank you again.

You are welcome. You will find a wealth of information on the DIS.
