[waveydavey]

Hi! :goodvibes
I discovered the DIS a couple of years ago simply by chance, but really began reading the forums daily last fall while planning a March, '07 trip to DL.
I finally got around to registering last month, so I figured it was about time I actually posted. So...hi. :wave2:

[Birdiegirl]

how many posts before you can pm?

[kckmom]

I think it is like 10 or so, go to some of the other sites that interest you and say hello, or ask a question. That's what I did! ;)

Welcome - the first post is kinda scary, but it gets addictive real quick. I am sure you will get lots of help and info here - just ask!!!:hippie:

[PrincessDoubt]

I just have a quick question and have no idea where to ask it. What do all the abbreviations mean? I thought I was up on internet lingo...but I'm lost...the only ones I can think of off the top of my head are DD and DH...but there's a ton more...like PM..that folks are using and I'm lost. Is there a list somewhere?

Is there a list somewhere?

I've had it explained as two different things.
1. DD, DH, DS etc. stands for Darling or Dearest Daughter, Husband, son, etc.
2. or Disney Daughter, Disney Husband, etc.

PM usually stands for Private Message, but guess there could be other definitions.

[PrincessDoubt]

Thank you :) :) :)

Found this under "Tech Support". It took me a while to "get it" but I figured out most of the abbreviations, but not all out (eventually). I see some additional ones used that are not here, but this should help you.:surfweb:

I am a mouseketeer... how many more do I need and what will my next level be when I am promoted?

[disneynephew]

How many posts do you need to become a Mouseketeer? Is there a place on the boards to explain things like how many posts until you can PM, etc.?

TIA! :)

I have been trying to respond to your message. Please check and see if you can change your dates for SSR or another 2 bedroom villa to 12/31/07 - 1/05/08. Thank you so much.

[Mickey'n'Me]

I have just discovered this site. :thumbsup2 I LOVE it. The problem is I won't get anything done during the day because I will be here chating with everyone.:flower3: This is only my second post and I am hooked already!!!:cool1: Is there a way to track the posts that I have made so I can tell if anyone has answered them? This site is so large I have a hard time remembering where I was when I had made a post. Sorry for the stupid question We have our next Disney trip in 2 months and just joined the Disney Vacation Club. We are so excited!!!:cheer2:

Hi, i am new to this site and am in need of some advice from those in the know. I have a trip to WDW for Feb. 11 to 20 2008 and am really worried about how bad the crowds will be. I was there in 2004 for only 2 days before getting on a Disney cruise {the very best holiday ever} and the crowds were awesome.it was the end of Jan. I have booked flights and rooms and have booked time off work then found out that Pres. day falls into our time frame.feel so dumb as I am from Canada and wasn't aware of this holiday. Should I be changing plans?

[wdwdad72]

Hi, newbie to this site but veteran to WDW. This site is packed full of helpful information!! Thank you

[luvyawdw]

Hello, I have a question I hope someone can help with. I hope its is ok to post it here, if not Im sorry. We are scheduled to go to WDW on Dec 12 -16. We also may have the choice to go Nov 14-18. What would you suggest. My MAIN concern is crowds. Our daughter does better in low-crowds. She is in a wheel chair and may be taking a power chair so navigating is tricky. Anyone with suggestions? Thank you.

[1goofy1]

Our very first visit to Disney started the week after Thanksgiving in 1987. We had Epcot to ourselves. Have pictures of my three teens with no one else in sight. Now we usually go in February and crowds are low - except for President's week. Then it's a mob scene.

Hi! I'm Coralie and I live in Belgium ! I speak French but I think my English is pretty good...sometimes, I make mistakes ! :laughing:
I'm a huge fan of Disney: films, parks...
I have an annual pass at Disneyland Resort Paris. I have never been in Walt Disney World or other Disney Parks than DLP.
I'd like to go to WDW next September...It depens of the budget!
I love reading you, it's so interesting and funny !

Just wanted to say Hi to all. My name is Linda and I live in Brooklyn, New York. I am a newbie on this board (but an oldie but goodie in life). I am a big WDW fan and try to go every year, (when I am not going to Vegas hee hee, and Star Trek conventions). I am taking my SIL and neice for their first trip Nov 11-17, especially for the Very Merry Mickey Christmas Party! Can't wait...hope to chat with youse guyz soon.:banana: :banana:

[LadyLawyerInCA]

Hello everyone! I have been reading the boards for years but finally found the time to get involved on it. My next trip is to Disney Florida November 1 - November 24 with my son and his best friend and we will be at AKL. Then on December 22 I get to go back until Jan 1 with my sister and 2 nieces since my son will be with his dad then :sad: and we will be at GF. This is my first FLorida WDW trip in 3 years! Excited! Do Disneyland here a lot each year though.

[Edith]

Hi everyone! I'm new to the board. I went to WDW a few times and I,m going back in march with my friend PopArtGal... Happy to be there with you! :)

[EPCOTWalker]

Bonjour!
My grandfather is a Lannoye, and his ancestors came from Belgium, near the French border. Also, my neighbors, the DeBaets family, were natives of Belgium who came to the USA after World War II. I try to get to WDW at least twice a year, and some day would love to see Disneyland Paris!

[Bean Counter]

Hi everyone!

[Lewanc]

Thank you.

Hi There - I am local Disney, and always suggest to family and friends to visit close to or at Thanksgiving time. We always find the parks to be less crowded at this time of year, with the added plus of the humidity and temperature being much more comfortable for days in the park.
We have also found the early weeks of December to afford the same luxury. One can never be 100% sure of park capacity unless you are on site on any given day, but I think either of your dates would be great for less crowds. If I had your particular situation, and had to pick a date, I would go with November as I have never had a problem during that time of year.

Whether you choose November or December, I'm more than sure you will have a wonderful vacation, and won't experience heavy crowds.

Hi, I have not posted in so long that I can't remember my old username and password! I came much more frequently when we were traveling with kids, but slacked off for a while. I am back now because we're CRUISIN' in Jan 08, and since we've never done that before, I need to start my recon mission so we're ready to go! Besides, the day goes a bit better with a little DIS in it! :flower3:

hello! i am so glad i found this site, i am getting married at disney 2/8. how to i start asking questions/advice? i am getting married at SBP and having dinner reception at fulton's..

Just start asking away. It's always best to ask the questions on one of the topic appropriate message threads. We've got a million of 'em here. And if you ask at the thread that most resembles your interest, you will get lots of answers from people in the know. Or people who think they're in the know. Or maybe me. :)

Arrr, just happy to be here, among the living!

It's better than the alternative.

Hi all! welcome from Western Illinois University!

[Unregistered]

First off we love WDW.My wife and I have turned our kids into little Disney fanatics.I have set up a username and password and the first time on the site went to the rent/trade forum but wan't allowed to respond to any of the post.The only ones I was able to reply to was those who had posted their email addys.My question/problem is do we have to be a member of the DVC to partake in some of the forums on this site?I read that some DVC members don't look kindly to those who post their points for rent/trade,but keep in mind people like myself who have contributed to the Mickey(also a stockholder)over the years at full rate have a chance to save some money while helping someone out at the same time.We now are looking to go down to WDW twice a year instead of once.It has also allowed us to make reservation to spend our first Christmas in DISNEY (07) which in the past was only a dream because of cost.I told my little ones "DREAMS DO COME TRUE".
Thanks,
Joe (Goofyz3girls)

Fellow lurkers, unite! It seems like so many of us have done just that. Lurked for a while (some times for a year or two) before actually participating in the message bases. Once you start, it can get addictive! :)

I have just booked my first trip to WDW, well since I was a kid. I am bringing my 8yo daughter. A buddy of mine that referred me to this site said that I could ask someone to send my daughter a postcard from WDW to make it look like it came from mickey. Any thoughts? I want to get her more psyched than she already is. We are heading down from RI on the 6th of December.

thanks,

Mark

[Chaoticsweetness]

Thanks for the warm welcome. I absolutely love this board so much info. I've been to Disney twice every year since 2000. Always around Christmas time (2 weeks before it gets very busy, we *my sister & I* go to Epcot that Thursday) and we go again around April for mom's birthday. Its wonderful there.

Can you just reregister with a new name? The only other option is to email the webmasters, but I am not sure how well that would work.

What is not working? Are you trying to make your own, or can't see others signatures? If you post your problems on the Technical Board that is all the way at the bottom of the main page there are people that can help you. Or post a seperate question on this board and you will probaby get an answer.

Hey,

Im new also.. so... hello to you all!

[lovetoscrap]

i'm back from a long vacation from the disboards but i've noticed that i can't post on certain threads. is there something i'm doing wrong? do i need to email the moderator or subscribe?

thanks for the help.

You look like you shouldn't have any problems--you are registered and posted here. Make sure that you aren't getting logged out when you try to post. Keep an eye on the upper right corner and make sure it still says "Welcome taysalyn" If it says something like "Welcome unregistered" then somehow you have been logged out and you need to make sure to check the box marked "remember me" when you log in. Also, keep in mind the DIS has been a bit slow the last few days so if you are getting error messages or can't get your post to go it may just be the DIS, not you. If you still can't get it to work post here again and hopefully a mod will see it, or see if you can post on the Tech board.

I am still trying to figure all of this out. I love these tickers and now I am trying one for me. Lets see...

[Lost Boy #1]

I read about this forum being #1 and decided to join. I belong to a few other boards as well.

I see somebody here already has the User Name Lost Boy. That was kind of a shock as that has been my user name and email address for years now so I just added the #1 because I feel that at my age and having seen Peter Pan in the theater when it first came out back in 1954 that I am the #1 Lost Boy. I may be 65 but I still have the child within and refuse to grow up.

I love Disneyland most of all and go as often as I can. I was 13 the day Disneyland opened to the public, and that date (July 18) is also my birthday. I was there as a birthday surprise that day and have been going ever since. It is my Laughing Place and also the place where Mickey Mouse saved my life over 35 years ago, so I have a very special connection to Disneyland.

I also love the Harry Potter books and movies. My apartment is a museum display a huge collection of Disney, Dragons, Super Heroes, Paper Models I have made, Dioramas I have built of Disneyland Attraction and rides, plus dioramas to display all the Harry Potter dolls, action figures and other props and things I have collected.

I go to the movies whenever I can but only to Fantasy or Science Fiction type movies. Of course Disney and Pixar movies are included. Action movie and some musicals (Like Sweeny Todd) but no war movies, no love story movies and no teen movies. I have to live in the real world, but the child within wants fantasy worlds at the Theater.

[DLR 1&only]

Sending a "it looks like snow" hello to everyone:

This is my first post and I just thought the best place to start would be here. My name is Jonathan and I live with my wife and two, son just turned 5 yesterday (Christmas) and my little princess 3.5, kiddo's just southwest of Portland Oregon.

When we first got married we had our honeymoon in San Diego and the DLR. Went every year until my son was born. In the planning stages for their first trip and then a trip to WDW.

I live for the magic and can't wait to share what I love and have experienced at the DLR.

Share the magic

HI!!!

I've been reading and browsing this site for a while now and just decided to sign up. My family, Me, 29, DH, 31 and DD almost 3 will be flying to the MK Jan. 18 2008. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! I've never been! I grew up in CA and going to Disneyland, BUT THIS IS SO BIG! My daughter is excited as well! Poor thing wants to go NOW! :yay:

Just a few questions, or maybe someone can tell me where to look for this info. How do I put my own picture as my avatar and how do I make a signature that shows up everytime I post?
THANKS!!!!!

Just a few questions, or maybe someone can tell me where to look for this info. How do I put my own picture as my avatar and how do I make a signature that shows up everytime I post?

Go to User CP to edit your signature profile. To insert a picture, you will have to have a photo account somewhere (like photobucket or shutterfly) so that you can link your picture to something there.

Good luck . . . and Welcome!

Hi

I'm still having a problem uploading a photo. I have my picture with snapfish, but I just can't seem to link it. Also, how do you add writing underneath the avatar? :upsidedow

[lovetoscrap]

Hi

I'm still having a problem uploading a photo. I have my picture with snapfish, but I just can't seem to link it. Also, how do you add writing underneath the avatar? :upsidedow

HI! Snapfish is not a photo hosting site as far as I know. You will need to transfer your photo to a place like photobucket.com (it is free) or the DIS has it's own photohosting site--it is currently down because of the server transition though. I can get you the link when it comes back up if you would like.

The writing under your Avatar is from your User CP, where you fill in your location under Additional Information in the Edit Profile Catagory. The rest is automatic from the system--your join date and number of posts

[Rescue Pooh]

Just wanted to say hi to everyone here on the boards. This is my first post as I just signed up. I found this site by surfing around for DL sites. My Wife and I will be taking our daughter who will be turning 5 in May as well as our new bundle of joy who will be born around the middle of May to DL in Dec 08. I figured it would be a good idea to look around and start planning as early as possible. Also to start saving the green stuff. LOL. I have not been to DL for a number of year and it's been longer for my Wife. I'm looking forward to lurking around the boards and looking at the different threads. It looks like a great site and thanks for having me :)

Hello,
My family and I love the parks and are going on our first Disney cruise in March. We have heard a couple reports on bed bug infestations. We're booked on the ship Magic and wonder if this is true? What happens if we find bed bugs in our room? Any feedback is appreciated.

Can anyone help me to make a vacation tracker like everyone has????

Thank you...Mama Mickey :confused3

Hi neatnick. :welcome: to the DIS!

We have a great Cruise Line Forum http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9 that can answer your questions about cruising. Many of the posters there have been on multiple cruises and can help you out with what to expect and help put your mind at ease.:)

Can anyone help me to make a vacation tracker like everyone has????

Many people get their countdown tickers from tickerfactory.com . It is an easy site to use and walks you through how to create one.

If you are having problems getting it into your signature then you can post on the Technical board and someone there can help you.:)

[chipmunk226]

is it ok to ask how much people paid for their packages? if so, what forum would it be appropriate to ask?

[lovetoscrap]

is it ok to ask how much people paid for their packages? if so, what forum would it be appropriate to ask?

I need a little clarification.

Do you mean for their Vacation packages? And I see you are looking to do a land/sea so are you looking for packages that include a cruise?

[chipmunk226]

sorry! :blush:

yes... i mean for the land and sea for 3 nights WDW and 4 night cruise.

we just got our quote and wanted to just see what others paid to make sure its a good deal. :) we need to book by tomorrow or lose the quote ;)

[lovetoscrap]

I would suggest that you post on the Cruise line forum and tell them what price you have been quoted and ask them if it sounds fair. I am not sure they will be willing to just tell you how much they paid, but I am sure they will be willing to give you an opinion. :)

Hi and Welcome to the Dis:)

For your ticker try tickerfactory.com that is where alot of people get theirs.
You will create one and it will give you a code that you copy and paste into your signature area here ( you'll find that under user CP top leftcorner of thepage)

As for Favorite attractions WOW too many for me to list Ithink
but you could ask that on the Theme park attraction and strategies board and I am sure you would get alot of responses.

This is my first time on this site. It will not be my first time to go to Disney World. This will be my 3rd. This time I am with my children. One which is 10 yrs old. We are doing it all up . Going to the castle to eat with Ciderella. She is wanting to get all dressed up for it and I was told that there was a little barber shop that would do her hair for a great price. I did find the site for the boutique there on site but was told this little barber shop was cheaper. Can some one help me with the name of the shop?

[motherofdisneysons]

Taking our second Disney cruise on April 12th 2008 and this time we are bringing our two sons, 14 and 7.
I am concerned about my shy 14 year old having a good time. Plays every sport imaginable but when it comes to any type of social setting would rather sit alone than speak to someone. Would love to hear from other Disney parents on suggestions to get this kid out of the room and enjoying himself. He will be our shadow for 7 days if we do not push him. So if you have a teenager who is sports fanatic and has an Ipod growing out of his ear and will be experiencing withdrawals from not being able send or receive text messages on their cell phone while on the cruise please reach out.

The seven year old is very social and adopts families everywhere we go, so he is the easy one.

I tried to post on the other board by cruise date to meet other people cruising the April 12th but it would not let me post....

I am afraid you probably won't get any responses to this posted here. It does need to go on the Cruise Forum.

The reason you can't post there now is because you have not completed your registration. You should have received an email with a link that you need to click on to confirm your registration. Please check your Junk/Spam/Bulk Mail folders because often the email ends up there. If you can't find it, or don't think you recieved it then please send an email to support@wdwinfo.com from the email address you gave when you registered, and include your username.

Once you have completed the registration process you will be free to post on all of the other boards here.

Hello all!:wave2:
I just returned from my latest Disney World adventure. It was a blast, as always. Prior to the trip, I stumbled onto this site while I was looking up park info. I hope to become an active member of this community.

(Note; I appologize if this is in the wrong place. I post on another forum where posting an introductory thread is frowned upon, so I thought this was the appropriate place.)

[Plutos.Girl]

Hi Everyone,

New member from the United Kingdom here, Warwickshire to be precise. Been lurking these forums for a while and decided to sign up so i could make a real contribution.

I completely love everything about Disney and Walt Disney World, I have visited Orlando on numerous occassions with my equally Disney-obsessed mum and dad. Next going in November (CBR for a fortnight), I'm excited already! Also been to Paris a couple of times

My favourite park is Magic Kingdom but I love them all and my favourite rides/experiences are Soarin', Buzz Lightyear or Splash Mountain! And I bet you can't guess who my favourite character is :love: .

Abigail.

[princesskimbers]

I've already introduced myself elsewhere but this seems like the best place to make an official introduction to the entire forum. I'm Kim, and I'm near Phoenix, Arizona though I do dream about living in Orlando just to be close to the mouse! I've only gone to Disneyland a few times when I was younger and those were fun although I don't remember much of them! My goal right now is to get out of debt and I'm thinking that once I do, a trip to Walt Disney World is going to be my reward! :banana:

Um, let's see. What else? I love nearly all things Disney and will admit to watching a bit of Disney Playhouse late at night and I'm 26! But they are quality shows for children though, and besides, I'm fascinated with the entertainment industry in general and hope to someday pursue a career in it, doing digital graphics. I'm currently attending the Art Institute Online for this, getting my degree in BS in Interactive Media Design and Web Design. When I'm not working on school or thinking about Disney, I like to bowl (though sadly, I don't get to do that much because of costs), go swimming, play with my family miniature schnauzer, watch TV, listen to music (just about anything except heavy metal), and enjoy life. Oh, and I'm a bit of an Apple geek too. Wait, no, I take it back. I'm a geek when it comes to computers and electronics! I love 'em!

Well, that's me in a nutshell and while I'm pretty shy (I like to joke that I'm "Bashful", I'm looking forward to getting to know the people on here.

That is a huge start! Did you find the list of Abbreviations? You will need it as you make your way around the boards. It is under this thread on the list here.

You have figured out how to post to an existing thread obviously since you are here :thumbsup2

So to start a new thread and ask a new question just look for the "New Thread" button at the top of the thread list on each page. Post away just like you did here!

Get that mastered and we can move to the advanced course: Avatars, signatures, countdown timers, and photos. . . (It took me 2 years or more before I figured those out!) You can find our FAQ here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2770 But also feel free to come back to this board and start a new thread (to prove to us you know how! ;) ) and ask questions so we can help you.

Oh, and if you just want to practice starting a new thread before you actually do it on the Budget Board, we have a Test Board for that: http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=88

And take a look at all the other boards we have! This is such a great place. So glad you found us!

:welcome: to all our other new people too. If you need any help please let us know.

Those are generally used by our WISH Board members: http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=59 They are used to track weight loss progress and they usually use them in their signatures. You don't have to post on that board to use them though. If you look around that board you will notice them in people's signatures.

Hi there. :wave:
I thought I would come in an introduce myself. My name is Bonnie, and DH and I are very excited about planning our vacation to Disneyworld with our DD, and her DH, and Dd for this Sept. :yay: It is their 1st time in going to Disney, but not for us. We went in 2002, and was planning to go more, but situations happen, so we are hopeful about this year. We own a timeshare very close to Disney, so we will be staying there.

I have been lurking around for a while just so I could gather up as much information as I can. That is the fun part..:surfweb: But I have not made any posts. Now that I am registered, I hope to learn more, and post any questions that I may have, also contribute in some of the conversations.
Have a great day everyone, I am glad to be here with a very friendly and informative group of people.

We have a forum here that allows for the RENTING and TRADING of DVC points if that is what you mean. We do not allow the resales of DVC contracts here.

You will need to be a registered board user in order to view that forum. You can register by clicking on "Register" in the upper left hand corner of the black toolbar at the top.

Once you are registered you can access the DVC boards from the main menu and go to the DVC Rent/Trade boards. You will need to read the FAQ thread stickied at the top of the page before you post.

If you need any help let me know. :)

Thanks for all the great advice. I've really enjoyed reading all the replies. Very nervous about my first trip to WDW. This will also be my first time to fly.:scared: Keep the recommendations coming. I'm loving it.

[oholly]

I just wanted to try this out. I look forward to finding out great ideas for our next trip

[georgemoe]

Looks like a great group here! Glad I joined.

My DW and I are no strangers to WDW however we have strayed off the path in recent years. We have not been to WDW since the early 90's. 15 years! :eek:

We are planning a trip in mid May of this year. We have never stayed on property and there is an awful lot that we have missed.

The goal for this trip is to stay on property for 7 days and right now we are looking at the mods. Either POR or CSR. Possibly moving up to the WL. Since it is just the DW and I, we are looking for quiet with a sprinkle of romance. ;)

No sigline just yet but I'll work on it.

I cannot believe I never knew about this site. I live in Florida and have grown up going to Disney. This site will be such a fantastic tool to use for my upcoming trips. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from all of you! :goodvibes

[ctonge]

Has anyone ever attended easter mass at Disney World? I am looking to find out how long mass is as we have reservations at Boma's at 9:25 am. Thanks for your help!!

[lovetoscrap]

You probably won't get an answer to that on this thread. You should probably ask this on our Theme Parks Board: http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2

:welcome: to the DIS!

Hi, I'm new and was wondering if there was any way of changing your user name display once you have created one? It didnt' occur to me to use something other than my actual name. Any suggestions?

Thanks.:banana:

[lovetoscrap]

:welcome: Unfortunately there isn't a way to change your username. I agree that it is generally best not to use your real name on a board like this. I would suggest that you just create a new user account now with a different name and just stop using this one.

Hello, I'm new. I love all the disney parks (much to the bafflement of many of my family members and peers) and was delighted to stumble across this forum one day searching for disney tips. After lurking for a bit I decided to join.

Anyway just wanted to say "HI":banana:

This is all new to me... after reading the materials about entry into this process, I am unsure about the requirement that you must have at least 6 posts before being able to respond to them. Can anyone tell me how this works?

Hi. We're getting ready to go this summer. It will be our first trip with our kids but DH and mine 2nd and 3rd trips.

[Mikes:)Mom]

I've just booked our trip in August :cool1:. This will be my first trip alone with my 13 year old son. We want last year to WDW with grandma, but I didn't do any planning or paying. We stay at POR last year, but this year we need to stay at POP. I'm sooo worry about the noise and Long Bus lines :scared1:. I hope all goes well. It's great to get all of this great info. Thanks!!

This thread is really just for saying Hi and introducing yourself, not for asking questions so it if very unlikely you will get anyone to answer your questions here.

PapaJohn, I would suggest you post your question on the Theme Parks Board, I have no ideas about the Sports Stuff, but I can tell you that I don't think Disney has a toll free number any more. (but I could be wrong about that). Because you posted this within this thread I can't just move your question over there.

harvardx: I am sorry, I am not clear on what you are asking, but it sounds like a question for our Technical Support board found all the way at the bottom of our Main Page, so why don't you repost it there and see if they can help you.

Sorry, I can't be more help. You have both won this round of Stump the Moderator! :)

[harvardx]

Hello from harvardx, deep in snow and slipping every which way north of Chicago. Rather be waiting in line at WDW for two hours in the rain than here. Yes that bad.
Thanks Lovetoscrap! This seemed the friendliest place and I really appreciate your guidence. I found Tech Support and the name of my problem is Related Threads.

Hello back! I know exactly what you are talking about--I am originally from Central Illinois. A bad day at WDW sure beats whatever else you are putting up with!

I understand what you were talking about now. Our search system is disabled for now for various reasons and I don't really understand all the technical aspects of it. My guess is that those may be archived threads it is pulling up since it can't search on newer threads? I never really scroll all the way down that way so I haven't paid any attention to what is going on down there.

[mimi0206]

Hello, It seems that i am in the right place but I seem to be a bit overwhelmed! I will be traveling to DIS with my husband and two children in March 2008. I am looking for discount tickets for the theme parks. I will be driving down from NJ and i already have my accomodations but really need a break on the tickets. I recently became permantly disabled due to illness and this trip is a promiss I made my children it is not their fault that I am ill and unable to work.....my husband and I are making this trip with much sacrafice but the price of the tickets are really worrying me. I have tried to write to several DIS web sites asking if it would be possible to obtain some sort of reduced tickets but their response is basically that they have so many ppl in the same boat asking for freebies that they are unable to accomodate everyone. I truly believe them but all I am asking for is a reduction not a freebie....that is how I came accross this web site.......pls if you know how I may get some sort of reduced ticket I would really appreciate it!
Hugs to all

[RookieMouse]

Wow! Looks like I found the mother lode. Was browsing the web looking for WDW info and stumbled upon this site. Am currently in early planning stages for a major WDW splurge - my family plus those of my brother and two sisters (14 people in total) for a week at (hopefully) Beach Club Resort, although probably at least a year away...

Took DW and the kids to Disneyland almost 2 years ago and now DD6 is commenting almost weekly about how we now NEED to go to WDW.

I am certainly impressed with the scope and depth of info available on the DIS, and will definitely be tapping into this corporate knowledge when doing the final planning.

Thanks for a great resource! Will be here a lot...

I have been lurking on here for over a year but have now joined in the fun!:banana: I am planning a January 2009 trip for myself, my husband and our 2 daughters! It will be their first trip and my 4th (although my last trip was almost 14 yrs ago) Very excited to be here! :yay:

[MadCityMom]

Hi everyone! I'm new here and totally new to online posting! We (me, DH and sons 13 and 7) are headed for WDW at the end of April! I'm really tired of cold and snow here in Wisconsin and ready to go now!

DH has done most of the planning already - still have a few questions but I'll put those out on the other forums.

Bye for now! :goodvibes

[Riskie]

Hi everyone!
I'm new here too!
I'm planning a trip for this May (kind of a short time to do it, but I finally convinced my DH that he deserves a vacation to WDW before we get to our next duty station!) and this whole site has been SO HELPFUL!
I really thought I was going to be over my head, but thanks to all the great info on here, I think we'll have a better time than when we went with our families!

[grumpalina]

Hi! I lurked for a bit last year but it looks like we're planning to go back again this year so i'm taking the plunge & posting!!! We're looking at going for Thanksgiving & that weekend (is that too crazy???)

Do I have to delete my current account first? I tried to create a new user name but rec'd a message that the email address is already in use. Can I create a new user name and still use my same email address?

Thanks:)

Hi Pete,
Is is possible to change your name.

[lovetoscrap]

Hi Pete,

Hi Phil!

I am pretty sure that Pete has no interest in changing his name ;)

But if you are interested in changing your username read the post directly above yours, she quoted the information about how you have to create a new account if you want to change your username.

HI, just posting on here as well to see if anyone might have reservations that they don't need at the Grand Floridan for the Cinderella Gala, anytime between March 15th to the 20th? My daughter would be thrilled! princess:

You would need to post this over on our dining board. I think they may even have a sticky thread for this sort of thing. http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=365&f=14

Good Luck! :)

[Queenie122]

Hi! I never introduced myself here :)

A member told my hubby to come by for info - our daughter has just been granted a wish through MAW and she said you have a ton of info on that - and you do! This board has become so valuable to us in making my daughter's dream trip come true. Thanks!

Question - if I make a pre trip report will people read it over and give us hints on to what we should change in our schedule and food choices and stuff? I'm interested in hearing the comments on it and not sure how I should go about doing that.

[AuroraBriarRose]

HI! It's my first time posting. I'm a long time Disney fan. My frist time to WDW was when I was 9 months old and I've been going as often as possible since. I even went for my honeymoon. Fortunately I married a fellow Disney fan. I owe it all to my Dad who absolutely loves WDW.

I'm so excited because I am taking my son, who just turned two, to WDW for the first time this summer. I've been many, many times, but never with a toddler (at least my own toddler, that is). Any advice would be helpful.
Also, I haven't been since 2005 so any new stuff I should know about, besides Everest?
We are doing a Character breakfast at the Crystal Palace restaurant with Pooh and Friends...any comments or suggestions?
We're going to try to do the trip with both sets of parents (mine and my husband's)...and my sister's family...and my other sister and her two kids...any advice? Yes, I know I'm crazy!! Thanks for any comments/suggestions in advance!

[bella-alexander]

hello all! i thought i would introduce myself. my name is maria, and i am the lucky mother of 2 beautiful children ages 3 & 6. we are planning our trip to disney world for april. we are sooooo excited! we went last year (march 2007) it was the first time for the kids. we stayed at the animal kingdom lodge last year, and words can not describe that incredible resort!! it was absolutely magnificent. however, we spent a ton of money to stay there. so, this year we decided to go on more of a "budget"(i use that term loosely because threre is no such thing as staying on a budget in disney worl) and stay at the pop century resort. i am just worried that we are going to be dissapointed making such a leap. we go from staying at one of the best to one of the value resorts. i'm not too worried because we're not "hotel people" when we go to wdw we do wdw, we don't take time out to enjoy the hotel. anyway, could use some input. has anyone stayed at the pop century? how was it? thanx

[EJKorvette]

I just joined today, but I have been listening to the podcast for almost a year now.

My real name is Evan. I am from the city, but have lived in the Fort Lauderdale area since June 1991.

My first trip to the World started December 23, 1972. My next trip was in May 1992. Since then I have been up more times than I can count.

I have stayed at every on-site property except: The Polynesian, All-Star Music, Swan and Dolphin, Boardwalk, maybe some others, don't remember.

I was very active on rad-p back in 1999-2001 or so. I even made it up for a Rad-p get-together in December 2000.

My favorite podcast episode was the one with the story of The Sad Little Crabcake.

Hope to have fun here, and of course, up in the World!

Evan aka EJKorvette

Hey everyone, I am very new to posting on the boards, I have started 1 thread and replied to only a couple of threads. Is there anyway to see what I have started and replied to? I thought if I went to User CP and clicked on subscriptions, it would show me where I have posted, but it says NO subscriptions? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated....:confused3

[rbramblett]

I have been looking around for awhile and just signed up. Where do I ask a question about my son's age when we go to WDW?

[WDW4mom]

Hello, I am a new member and am very excited to have found you. My first time to WDW was a few years ago when our whole family went. I have been several times since then and I am hooked. It is my very favorite place to be!! I can hardly wait to start planning my next trip :tink:
