How do I do polls in threads?

How do I do polls in threads?

Hi! In the future you probably want to post questions like this as their own thread on the Welcome Board ( or in this case the Technical Support Board). Not many questions get answered on this thread.

But you are lucky and I am in a :wizard: Pixie Dust mood today! (okay, really I am avoiding doing :laundy: ) so here is the quick answer:

You have to start a new thread to post a poll. Unless you are the original poster you can't put a poll in a thread, and I am not sure that you can edit a thread you started and add a poll later (pretty sure you can't actually). Once a poll is made you can't edit it as far as I know, also. So just start a new thread and the steps for the poll are down at the bottom of the posting box.

Hi
I have been lurking about for awhile. I have done a few posts and now ready to dive in.
Could someone please tell me how to get the tickers and cute things in the sig area and how to get the avitar (right thing?) on the side? Hopefully I am in the right place to ask these questions.

I may need to ask my teenagers :)

Thanks so much!!!!

:yay: :yay: First, Happy Easter to those who are celebrating!

Second, just decided last Saturday to take a trip to WDW in October. Since then I have been trying to gather as much info as possible and boy is there a lot out there!!! I have purchased 2 books and found this site. I thought that 6 months would be plenty of time to plan our trip but now I am not so sure!!!

I am new to this board (and any forum really) so I need to learn the lingo!!!

[lovetoscrap]

:welcome:

You might start here with our Abbreviations cheat sheet to help with the lingo: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1660743

And also the FAQ's. I am still working on them but there are still some great links to help you learn your way around the forums: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1760755

And this is also great thread to start with to help you out: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1715551

Jump in and ask any questions you have and you will get the answers you need. :)

[tcuplvr]

Thanks for the info. I have spent a considerable amount of time on this board today and I am beginning to feel REALLY, REALLY overwhelmed. Although we have almost 7 months until our trip I am beginning to feel that I don't have enough time!!!!

[mhmcduff]

I just found this board today but have already learned alot- Been to WDW- 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007 and have a trip planned or May- Just joined DVC at SSR so I guess we are hooked now. What boards can you ask questions or are ther:woohoo::thanks: :cheer2:

:goodvibes I've been lurking for a month, as I normally do on any message board, but have finally decided to come out of the shadows. Hi to all and have a great time planning your trips!!

[Grundgetta]

Hi to Everyone!

I'm a long time reader/lurker coming out of the shadows as well! I've been to Disney several times, but always find a wealth of information on these boards from the many Disney pros!

[JSThatcher]

AWESOME WEB SITE!!!!!!!!! Thank You!!!!, by the way we booked with FL Tours. Figure if you chose them above Mears and the others for Trasnport Company, they must be good!!!!!!!!

[Disneylover 2]

I love this website!

[aholmesy44]

Hi everyone,

This is a great site! Can't wait until April 20....the family and I are going to Disney for the week..does anyone know how the crowds will be during the 20 to the 27?

[RoosMomKanga]

I've been trying to search items so that I don't ask redundant questions and can do research by topic, but I have never gotten this to work properly. Let me give you a specific example-I'm under the Disneyland Paris Forum, in the "Search this Forum" pull down at the top I type in "Brit's Guide" (I know there was a thread about this a week or so ago). That first "Search this Forum" screen ALWAYS (no matter what I enter) takes me to a second search screen where I have to re-enter my search words. Then the really frustrating part....5 minutes later it's still searching and never gives me results. What's up? Am I doing something wrong?

Search does not really work here. Occasionally you can get it to pull something up but as a generally rule it doesn't work. You just need to start a new thread and ask about whatever you need to find out about.

We have way outgrown the software so it just can't do search functions anymore.

[RoosMomKanga]

Thanks, good to know, as I was getting really frustrated trying to do this on many forums.

[Marthonica]

Great site! I started a PTR thread yesterday to document all my crazy planning! I'm not sure I put the thread in the right place - is there a way I can move it to the Pre-Trip Report area?

[killian_red]

I visit Disney twice a year - for the past 8 years. I'm 26, and I'm having a Disney wedding at home (themed) and honeymooning in Disney. For our wedding the Tinkertini & Bibbidi Bobbidi Bombs are our signature drinks, hence my username!

Hi everyone! I have been lurking on these boards for a little bit over a year and finally decided to register and become a part of the DIS. I have been a Disney lover my entire life. I am 34 and married with three children....a three year old DD, a two year old DD and a 5 1/2 month old DS. I have converted both of my girls into Disney lovers already (and they haven't even been to WDW yet).

So, hello to everyone :flower3:

Another newbie! Hi all.

I learned of this site just prior to my 1st ever trip to WDW last month. I didn't get the chance to really lurk until now. The info here would have been great! There will definitely be another trip of me... I was even willing to get on the next flight back to Orlando but unfortunately, I was expected at work the next day.

Hello everone! I have been lurking and finally worked up the nerve to join in - already managed to make 5 posts...I have a feeling that we're gonna have some computer wars at our house with me wanting to check in to the board on a daily basis ( sadly, my husband does not feel the magic - just wants me to plan and be done with it!) :(

The amount of info. here is amazing and I am learning lots!:thanks:

[Flurbee]

Hey there...Just thought I would pop over here and say hi...I am new to this site and just kind of feeling my way around. I actually have been lurking on the Disney wedding forum, as I am planning my disney wedding in June of 2009!! Anyways, I came over here cause I have a question I hope someone can answer..I just joined today, I am able to post, but I cannot send PM's. Does anyone know why? Do I have to do so many posts before I can PM? This is what it says when I try to send a pm- "could not find phrase 'error_postcount_too_low_pm" This may sound dumb, but I really don't know what this means....HELP!!!:confused: Thanks. :)

Hi and congrats on your upcoming wedding!!!

I think you need 5 or 6 posts to PM. So hang out, get some info, and you'll be there before you know it!

This may help you plan: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1715551

[Flurbee]

Hello there...thanks for responding to me...yes, I finally found out today that you have to do 10 posts to be able to PM...who knew?? I guess I am on my way!!! :) I love, love, love WDW..it is my favorite place on earth, I guess I am kind of addicted...we usually go every year, in May, but this year, since we are saving for the wedding, we actually are not going to go until December...that way we can do our wedding planning session and enjoy disney all at once...We are going to do the 3 night disney cruise-land and sea package, which is exciting, I have never done the cruise before...:) Anyways, since you haven't been to Disney in a while, I will give you my tip, as far as good rides go....Expedition Everest in the AK is really one of the best rides I have been on...Tower of Terror is awesome too...As far as restaurants go, I would recommend getting the dining plan, if you aren't already, it really does save you alot of money...Best restaurants (in my humble opinion) are: Sci-Fi Dine in Restaurant and 50's Prime time cafe, both in MGM, an LeCellier Steakhouse and the Mexican restaurant in Epcot. It seems like there are more, but I can't think of them right now...anyways, sorry to babble on....:)

Hey Everyone!
This is my first post on DIS but I've been reading for about a week or so. I found this place from one of my closest friends through our planning of our family's WDW vacation next month. I am so excited to go because this will be my first trip back to WDW since I was a College Program Cast Member in the Fall of 2001. I'm going down with my DH's family and we're staying at the Old Key West Resort. I look forward to talking to a lot of you on here! Take care!

I have been to disneyland many times as a child and twice with my family of 4. We have been to DW once last spring and are planning another trip for this sept. I am looking so forward to it. I hope to get tons of info from you all and hopefully will be writing my first trip report about our Sept. vacation to Disneyworld. Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Hi Everybody, just starting with our first trip together. Got 7 night at Pop Century, with DDP in Sept, and now we're suffer from information overload! :)

I went with family 10 years ago, with a trip won off the radio. It was less then a month after AK opening, and I somehow managed to see most of all 4 parks in a day and a half. Looking forward to a RELAXING trip this time.

[amcrum]

Hi everyone! This is my third day on DIS. I love this sight. I wish I had known about it sooner. A friend had told me about it just recently. I've been to WDW 12 times now. It's our favorite place to travel! We are DVC members and absolutely think that was the best decision we made! I'm looking forward to many more days on this awesome sight!

[amcrum]

I need to get my post counts up too! I already have emails from people and haven't been able to respond to them yet!

Well I've put a few posts out there and am excited to keep reading and getting all of the tips and tidbits I can. I'll be traveling to WDW May 18-24 (23 days from now) I'm super excited. I've got all of our ADR made. Freaked out about the bugs but eh.. thats just me.


I do have a question for you veteran posters though. How can you find all the topics that you've left messages on?

Hi! OK, so this is not exactly a Dis question, but how did you like the new waterpark at Sea World? (or is it actually a seperate park?) How does it compare to the Dis waterparks? We are going in August and did not choose the waterpark option because we only plan to do one waterpark, and not sure if we will do a Dis or the new Sea World....appreciate any input you could provide...:)

Unfortunately we only had one day for SeaWorld and we had tix for that park only, so we didn't go to Aquatica. There is a lot of discussion on it though on our SeaWorld Forum http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=365&f=32 so I would suggest that you ask this question there. It is an excellent question and I am sure that there will be some opinions there.

If this is your first trip to WDW or the DCL you might want to view the threads under the Disney Cruise. Mainly the thread; Bob' Bash on the Boat. Several people are from Wisconsin and they have experiences from past trips to WDW, not just cruising. :thumbsup2

We are taking our 8 yr old son and 13 year old daughter, along with her 13 year old friend, this summer to WDW. I need suggestions on which resort property to stay. Our choices are Fort Wilderness cabin, or All-Star Music family suite. It appears as though their are more activities at Fort Wilderness.

Please take a look at our FAQ thread. There is information there about the DIS use of lime green. :) And :welcome: !

Hi...this is my 1st day on DISboards! We are planning for WDW trip #2 in October. We went 4 years ago and had a blast! My oldest son has Cerebral Palsy and I am looking forward to learning lots of tips and tricks from the DISabilities board.

[Jennabean1126]

Hey everyone I was so excited to find this site because I have grown up with disney. We used to live just two hours away and once a month we'd take a trip down to visit. Now we live in Chicago and I'm having serious withdrawls from my home. We've been twice in the last four years and we're going to Disneyland in July and Disney World in October. But in the meanwhile I can't wait to explore this site, and everyone already seems so welcoming.

[patimouse]

Hi, we booked WDW for first visit in July last November. :banana: When it got to March, we thought we'd better do some research. We bought a couple of books and started looking at websites. I am really finding the information both useful and confusing:headache: Are our ADR's OK? Should we ring the resort and request a particular area (POR)? Should we take advantage of all the extra magic hours? Lots of questions, most posted seperately. The thing is we want to do everything, but I just know the heat will get us in the end and we will be exhausted. I've posted a few things on over the last couple of weeks, but I haven't totally worked out how to find if they have been commented/replied to (can't always remember where I've posted-sad I know). How do I check?

[orangecats2]

Hi all! I am just so excited I can hardly stand it. My fiance (35) and I (35) are going to POFQ for our honeymoon Sept 21-18. This will be his first time at WDW but he has been to DL twice in his teens. I have never been to DL but have been to WDW at least 6 other times. Its hard to remember every time I went as a child. I have never stayed on property which is one reason I am so excited. The other is that I haven't been here since '96 and then only spent 4 days there - MK, EPCOT, MGM, River Country and Discovery Island. We are on the dining plan and have ADR at: Ohana-dinner, Garden Grill-lunch, Chef Mickeys-dinner, 50's PTC-lunch, Artists Pointe and Rainforest Cafe at AK. We also have six day tickets with everything because we want to do Typhoon Lagoon and Disney Quest. Also plan on going to Fantasia Gardens. I wish we were staying more days of course! So I just wanted to say hello and get my daily Disney fix! :upsidedow

Well, this was a great first post! You can post on any thread you want to get involved in the same way you posted here. You can start your own threads by clicking on the New Thread icon found at the top and bottom of each board.

We have many boards with different topics so try to put your question on the board that makes the most sense--like questions about the Restaurants on the Disney Restaurants forum. If you aren't sure where it should go you can post a new thread on this board and we can move it to the correct place.

:welcome: to the DIS!

...if not I wish there was....I just applied and I know I'll have questions and such. I KNOW I should ask the CC issuer, but I think it would be great if we had a topic dedicated just for the Disney Visa and/or Disney Rewards, to discuss.

Because....I just posted this under "families" but I applied for a card today under Creditcards.com. Then I saw that the Disney website has a promotion, for $40 credit with first purchase. Am I not going to be able to get this credit since CC.com did not have anything on their site about it?????? I'm kicking myself in the you-know-what right now for being so hasty.:sad2:

[dramsdell]

How do I find responses to my posts? There are so many threads. It seems like it will be hard to find.

[dramsdell]

Another question: How do I get pictures or icons onto my posts? You have some great ones.

Hello everyone! I've been looking a bit and just wanted to say "Hi"! I just read a thread where someone was planning a trip to DL but at the last minute their husband couldn't go.

Amazing! I definitely feel the love!!! :love:

[TinkerbellDani]

Just dropping by to say hello. I actually have been lurking for about two years and finally decided to start posting. I heard about DISboards while planning a trip to SeaWorld.

I've never been to Disney and would like to visit while my kids are still young. My DH doesn't like crowds and I never wanted to take the kids out of school for a vacation. We may reconsider and don't know when the best time to go would be.



It's tough to figure out when to go when you have to think about the kids schooling AND crowds. I am 28 now, but my first visit to Disney was when I was 13 years old. I have three younger brothers. We went to Disney for 2 weeks so that Thanksgiving would fall right during our vacation. We missed less than 2 weeks of school because of the holiday. It was not busy whatsoever (people have maybe discovered this by now cause each time we returned, it did seem to get busier at Thanksgiving.) It was the best time we ever had (and we have been back to Disney 5 times since). We got right onto the rides...and by that, I mean that we literally walked through the entire maze with no wait in front of us until we got onto the ride.

The crowds DEFINITELY will be there if you go during a school vacation. Since you said your kids were still young, they'd probably enjoy the trip more too if they weren't waiting in line half the time. Perhaps you can arrange for their teachers to come up with their homework/curriculum in advance. I remember my brothers and I always wrote some kind of report on our trip and presented it. We did research on different things and we truly learned something (especially at EPCOT). I would never have remembered those two weeks at school, but I will remember our first steps into the Magic Kingdom for the rest of my entire life.

Perhaps you could try a long weekend where a Monday was no school, such as Martin Luther King weekend, to reduce the time spent away from the classroom.

I truly hope you have a magical trip whenever you go.
Just my opinion.

Hi! I am new here. I found out about this site from some people at the Doorway to Dreams get-together yesterday in Chicago. I am really excited to be here!

[disneygrandmom2007]

I am new to the Dis boards but definitely not new to WDW. I have lost count of how many trips to WDW I have made since my first trip in December, 1971. My DH, DD (33), and DS (30) love all things Disney just as much as I do. My DD even had a Disney Fairy Tale Wedding in 2005 in the Wedding Pavilion with the reception at the Boardwalk (which was very appropriate for a Jersey girl!). This month we took our 13 month old DGS for his first visit to WDW and I think we have another Disney fanatic in the family! We have already booked another visit in May, 2009. I am so glad my DD introduced me to this site!

Hi guys, I hope you don't mind (another) Brit invading your boards here! We are off to Orlando this August for the first time in 10 long years and it'll be the first time that either of my daughters have been too. Let's just say they are more than slightly looking forward to visiting Micky mouse and friends at the parks!
I will post for some help, advice and comments on other relevent threads too as our youngest daughter has cerebral palsy and I have more than a few questions and query's that need answering. Anyway it's been around 2 months now since I started listening to the DIS podcast and I have to say it's excellent!
I hope I'll be welcomed with open arms on here as I've heard this board is a great place to be!

Regards, Mark.

It's tough to figure out when to go when you have to think about the kids schooling AND crowds. I am 28 now, but my first visit to Disney was when I was 13 years old. I have three younger brothers. We went to Disney for 2 weeks so that Thanksgiving would fall right during our vacation. We missed less than 2 weeks of school because of the holiday. It was not busy whatsoever (people have maybe discovered this by now cause each time we returned, it did seem to get busier at Thanksgiving.) It was the best time we ever had (and we have been back to Disney 5 times since). We got right onto the rides...and by that, I mean that we literally walked through the entire maze with no wait in front of us until we got onto the ride.

The crowds DEFINITELY will be there if you go during a school vacation. Since you said your kids were still young, they'd probably enjoy the trip more too if they weren't waiting in line half the time. Perhaps you can arrange for their teachers to come up with their homework/curriculum in advance. I remember my brothers and I always wrote some kind of report on our trip and presented it. We did research on different things and we truly learned something (especially at EPCOT). I would never have remembered those two weeks at school, but I will remember our first steps into the Magic Kingdom for the rest of my entire life.

Perhaps you could try a long weekend where a Monday was no school, such as Martin Luther King weekend, to reduce the time spent away from the classroom.

I truly hope you have a magical trip whenever you go.
Just my opinion.

Thanks. I see that you are a newbie here too. Welcome!

I agree that it would not be fun to spend a lot of our time waiting in lines--that's not what I want to remember about vacation. I guess I just need to convince myself that it is okay to miss school for a few days. I was thinking of maybe trying to go this fall, but now with the economy the way it is, I am not sure we can afford it. Now that is another reason to go in the off season...

Hi, folks. I'm new to these boards, too, but not to Disney. Did my first trip in 1971, when they still had the A-E rides (dating myself, I know). Then went on my honeymoon and a couple of anniversaries. Took my kid there twice (ages 7 and 15). She's now 18 and wants to go again! At least she'll still go with me! We're shooting for January, 2009, when she'll be on college break but it's still value season.

Looking forward to learning lots between now and then, and especially when the rates go in for 2009. Wonder what the promotion will be for 2009?

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking for the past week (reading trip reports) and decided to join today. I'm really looking forward to getting a bunch of new tips on planning for our 25th Anniversary trip next May.

My question: is there a thread that teaches how to add all the fancy stuff to your signature? I'd love to add a countdown and pictures, but I'm not a computer wiz so I haven't been able to figure it out just yet.

Thanks in advance for all the help!

Hi everyone! I've been using WDW-info as a disney resources forever, yet I just realized today that there were discussion boards! Better late than never I suppose...

Anyway, I'm just announcing my "official" arrival. Hope to see you on the discussion boards!

Hi guys, this may seem basic but I can't see how you leave an email or voice mail for the podcast team to discuss.??:confused3

I'm new here too! I'm going to Disney World during the Christmas/New Year's week with my husband-to-be and would love tips on how to beat crowds. I started a thread on that but I think I put it in the wrong place so it got lost in the shuffle.

Or is there already a thread on Disney day-trips (essentially those of us staying off site who want to include Disney as a part of their overall Orlando experience)? I'm trying to use the search function but so far I'm not lucking out with my keyword attempts.

PS. I'm VERY excited to spend the majority of my honeymoon visiting the parks.

My name is candace or Candy is my nickname :)

[2bugs&me]

Hi I'm new here and just thought I would introduce myself.

I'm a single mom of 2 kids...ds 15 and dd 12. I've been to Disneyworld twice before but both when I was much younger and never with my children.

I'm just starting to plan our Aug 09 trip and have a ton of questions to ask...don't worry I'll post in respective forums ;)

I've been doing a ton of reading on this site and I'm so impressed with how helpful and informative everyone is.

[VolcomStone10]
