Thanks for a chance to figure out this posting stuff. I'm contemplating taking a friend to DW in Nov. to get her mind off a family tragedy. Renting a villa from a DVC member looks cool and I've read the rules for "rent/trade forum", but the process is a bit intimidating. Is it easier than it sounds? Is it worth it? Thought I'd learn a bit here first. Thanks.:rolleyes1

You will need to ask this over on the DVC boards. This board, and this thread is really just for introducing yourself and saying Hi. You will probably not get any answers here.

Welcome and enjoy the boards.

[jettebabe]

gotcha. thanks for the info.:cool1:

Wow! I just joined! This can be very overwhelming!

[dmwilliams]

I have been to Disney World several times and absolutely love it. :cool1: I was recently introduced to this board. I am hoping to learn a lot to help me plan my next trip in April 2010.:banana: I will be taking my five year old son & my husband. It will be the first trip to the resort for both of them. I hope to make it very enjoyable. Any help that I can get will be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I'm new :)
Been wanting to go to Disney for ages now but haven't had a chance yet. I'm a huge fan of disney movies, in particular the old ones like snow white and sleeping beauty.
Thought it would be fun to post here, found it through a search engine.

Anyone have the patience to help. Leaving in 12 days for the BC . I am sooo excited I'm sure Mouse Ears are going to sprout out of the top of my head!!!

[MinnieTexan]

Hi there! :) Here's a web site with good Disney clip art: http://i-love-disney.com/downloads/disney-cartoon-charcters-clipart-images/

Limitations of image sizes, along with loads of other good info can be found on the DIS "technical support" forum. A good way to easily find that is to go to DIS Home, click on fourms, look to the left column where forum types are listed...it's way down towards the bottom of the page.

[LynnieM12]

hello! dunno if i should post here or make a new thread but alas I am new! Name's Lynnette, I reside in South FL and have been a hardcore Disney girl since I was 2 years old :D and um...what else can I say? I love the movies, love the parks, and hope to meet and befriend people here :goodvibes

[For the love of Walt]

Thanks so much I'm gonna give it a try. We are going without kids too!! A totally different experience without them. Dont get me wrong I love to go with them. But it is great when you go alone.

Mary :yay:

[sgaktwins]

I am immersing myself in all things Disney World. I think I am a little addicted :)

[swaintierney]

Going to Disney June 2010 any idea if and when codes will be released

[parkgirl]

Not sure but I to will be going next year in September and we are counting on the Free Dinning Plan that they have had for the last few years in Septembe. I was wondering when I would know when that was coming out. Hopefully in March or at least by May of 2010.

[MouseloverJD]

Hi,

I've been visiting this site for about six months now and just joined this week. There is so much helpful information here. So far been to Disney twice this year already, June 20-27 with my mother and nieces and solo August 29-31. I already have another planned for December 29-January 2. So lookinf forward to that trip.:woohoo: First time at Disney for New Years. I know it will be cray crowded but that's part of the excitement.:cheer2:

Anyways, not sure how this all works but looking forward to learning.

[lovetoscrap]

If you are looking for information about Discount Codes you will want to check out our Codes and Rates Forum: http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=93

:welcome: to the DIS!

[Kit Kat]

I am new to all this Disney stuff, although I have always loved growing up and watching Disney movies. I have only been to Walt Disney World once in my life and I stayed at the French Quarters in Port Orleans. I had such a great time. I want to go back again. I am 18 years old and live in Newfoundland which is light years away from Walt Disney World. I also just started the Physical Therapy Program at college. this month. I love playing guitar, listen to the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Jefferson Airplane, The Byrds and other Folk/Psychodelic 60's bands. I also like watching hockey.

[parkgirl]

Thanks I'll do that.

[parkgirl]

We are going to be staying at the Port Orleans-Riverside.

[pixiegirlforlife]

Hello from MI and cant wait to see the magic

[palmettocharm]

Hi All! I, too, am a new Dismember, but no stranger to the boards. I have visited many times in the last few months, but decided to go ahead and become a member! Sadly, I do not have a trip planned anytime soon, but I am hoping one will be on the horizon before long. I've learned so much from the boards that I want to put into practice as soon as I can!

[MamaLou]

I just registered on the site, having heard of it on my recent trip to Disneyland. I was there with my sweetheart Sept. 24-28. We did the Happiest Haunts tour on the 27th and met the nicest family from Idaho Falls. they had customized T-shirts - Happiest Haunts Tour on the front, the Mom had "Happy" on the back of hers, Dad had "Halloween" and the kids were "Trick" and "or "Treat"....very cool! They told us they got the designs thru Disboards.com.....so here I am!

I absolutely LOVE Disneyland. I grew up in Las Vegas, my Grandma & Grandpa lived in the LA area and Grandma took me to the park either the 1st or 2nd year of operation. I went again at some point in elementary school, and then my senior class trip was to Disneyland. I moved to the NW when I married and it was quite some time before I was able to return. I took each of my sons when they were seven (they're 10 years apart); and then again when they were 13 & 23 (fun!!) Since 2003, my "SO" and I have gone annually, most times without kids, which I have to say is WAY fun. We made one trip to Florida to WDW, but Disneyland is, as I've read in so many posts, "home" and will always be my favorite place.

It's so neat to find a place to share stories of Disneyland with others who love it, too.

[MamaLou]

So, I just registered, entered a message....but how do you get a picture over on the left, under the user name? I sit in front of a computer all day at work and because of that have never done anything like this, doing stuff on a computer after work has never been something I've wanted to do...until now! :-) Thanks!!

[Schultz5]

Thanks for the welcome, I'm hooked. We leave in 42 days. Yeah:cool1:

[vassalofodin]

Howdy. :goodvibes:

I was on here a long time ago, but I had some major life changes since then and sort of didn't stay long.

But I'm back now and intend to be more active. :)

I've floating around the idea of going to WDW next year, but I'm still trying to think about how much money I'll need and stuff like that, so I have no real date or plan yet. But I'm still having fun looking at stuff! :3dglasses

[goofinaround]

What is the difference between a thread and a post? How do i do either one. I think i submits a thread and a post but now i can't figure out what i did or how i did it. Is there some kind of help or beginner guidelines to the discussion boards?

thanks! goofinaround

Hiya and Welcome to the DIS!!

What you just did is called a post. A post is when you reply to a thread.

A thread is something you start if you have a question or comment. To start a thread, click on the forum you want to put it under. For example, if you have a question about a restaurant, you would click on Disney Restaurants or if you have a question about an attraction you would click on Theme Parks Attractions and Strategies. Once you click on the proper forum, you click on the "New Thread" button on the left side of the page. Then you just add a title and ask your question or state a comment and click submit reply.

For more info, check out these threads:
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1760755
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1660743

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions feel free to ask! :goodvibes

[thejman]

I have subscribed to some threads and thought I was supposed to get a daily e-mail if there any updates. I have noticed that I don't always get updates. I have seen new posts on the threads I subscribed to but haven't been updated. Do you know why I wouldn't always be receiving the e-mails? Thanks

[MikeinBoston]

Hi everyone, I'm Mike, 22 from Boston. I'm just finishing up the touches on a trip to Walt Disney World with my girlfriend next month. Tomorrow morning everything will be official and they trip will be paid for! Got a good deal on a trip. Was planning to go to Universal Studios because we thought it would be cheaper, but got a great deal at Disney and could not be happier. We will be staying at the Port Orleans Riverside. I have only been down to Disney once back in Feb. 2007 with my ex-girlfriend and her family. I got to see a lot and think that will help me this time around. I really wanted to stay at one of the hotels near Downtown Disney which will work out great! Look forward to talking to everyone!

[honeymooner09]

Hi! I am Carla, and we are heading to Disney in November for my third trip, and my husbands first trip there.

Its our honeymoon!

I've been creeping the forums for a while now, but decided to finally sign up and get in on the action!

[JAL2525]

Just joined...Thanks for the welcome. Been viewing for a while and I'm glad to now be involved. Vacationed at disney many times over many years and look forward to getting information and offering it when I can...:yay:

[Onnie5000]

I'm used to reading threads on Voy boards. I need some help in how to find a particular thread, reply or post. I follow most of you on twitter. I don't get it sorry.

[Linda67]

Hey everyone
Just starting out with this - so what do I need to do when I want to post one of my many random questions
Do I look for the relevant thred and post a reply/question on that?
Then do I just check back to see responses?
Sorry for the dumb questions
:rolleyes:

[Poohugz81]

Hi Everyone so glad to finally joined. This board is sooo useful when it comes to anything disney related, I'm so glad I found it :thumbsup2

[3TinksAndAnEeyore]

I am not that new, but I don't know what the envelope symbols next to the post headings mean. I get the locked ones, but why red , some green? I know this is a stupid post and a stupid question, but I am curious. I can never search is is always too busy everytime I try.

I've been searching and this is the only reference I've been able to find -- and it's unanswered. :rolleyes1

What do the red and blue envelopes mean on the far left column for each thread? Like Tiffer, I get the locked ones. I also get the little arrows that tell me I posted in the thread. I just can't figure out what makes them different colors. Thanks! :thumbsup2

[lovetoscrap]

I have subscribed to some threads and thought I was supposed to get a daily e-mail if there any updates. I have noticed that I don't always get updates. I have seen new posts on the threads I subscribed to but haven't been updated. Do you know why I wouldn't always be receiving the e-mails? Thanks

You may need to be sure your email isn't blocking them as Spam. Also you won't get a new notice until you visit the boards again. So if there are 20 new responses while you are at work, you will only get a notice of the first one.


I'm used to reading threads on Voy boards. I need some help in how to find a particular thread, reply or post. I follow most of you on twitter. I don't get it sorry.

Not exactly sure what you are asking about? Check out the FAQ thread on this board and if you still have questions please start a new thread.

Take a look at our FAQ thread on this board first. Then you can either use SEARCH to see if your question has been answered before or you can start a new thread on the board that your question fits on. Let me know if you need more help.

Scroll all the way down to the very bottom of the page for any forum, there is a compete list of what all the envelopes mean.

Hello all.. this is my first post on here.. active on other message boards and FB and such..
Dh just brought up us possibly going to WDW Easter 2010 so I am researching as much as possible. We have a 7, 6, & 2 year old and one due in January, plus my Mother who wants to go. So we may be crazy!!
Dh has been there once and Mom and I were there twice, but the kids have never been.
Thanks!!

[DisneyCrafter]

I have been using the DIS boards for nearly 2 weeks now and I cannot believe I did not know about it sooner! I am in love with DIS! :love: I have found so much valuable information on here already and I know I will continue to find more. I also love that this is a place for "us" Disney Lovers out there to come together and not get the eye roll :rolleyes2 every time we talk about going to Disney (again)! I want to roll my eyes at them, throw them a little pixie dust and let them know that they don't know what they're missing! :)

[Borealbelle]

I have been reading posts for a while now...picking up great information. Now, it's time to join in.
DH and I are planning our fifth trip, for Jan 2010 at POFQ, the first trip without kids!!! :wizard:

Hi everyone! My fiancee and I will be in WDW for our honeymoon in May. We were last there in '02, during the year anniversary of 9/11. Looking forward to another trip to the Happiest Place on Earth!

[delpawell]

Hello Everyone,
My name is Daniel and I just dropped in to say hi to everyone. These days the internet has become the source of information about anything and everything that you could think of, but the new source to get the knowledge is through the discussions taking place in the forums. I found this community on Google and joined in without a further thought as I found exchange of some good information here. It would be great to have some quality discussions here sharing some useful information.

[Ptrleblanc]

This is my first time to Disney (Jan 2010), and the boards have been a great source of information.

Peter

[Jaxum]

Just wanted to say hi, and thanks for the boards!

[meekorouse]

[yellowlabforever]

Hi, I have been wandering these boards for a while now, and I decided that it was about time I joined. I am a Disney lover and I plan on applying for the College Program at WDW in the future.

We have reservations to be staying in BLT in a Magic Kingdom View Grand Villa (right after my graduation from HS Too!) But that might change. I can't wait to start my pre trip report. I am mostly planning the trip, but my DM is helping as well. We are taking some of our extended family (there are going to be 12 of us!) It is going to be so much fun, and I can't wait to start my Pre Trip Report.

[montyhar2]

Hi All,
My self Monty. I am new here. I am from Toronto. I am pretty much jokeing 100% of the time. I hope we enjoy here.

[It's Me]

There is a song tilted "(I Love to Ride) Goofy's Barnstormer". It is a fun little song about the ride. You can hear a clip of the song and buy it at iTunes.

[AndyB113]

Hey everyone... I've been listening to the podcast and finally decided to take part in the action! Looking forward to it

[Vincent Vega]

Hey there everyone, I´ve been reading you all for a while and decided to participate. My name is Daniel, and I´m from Spain... Have been several times in Disneyworld, I can´t wait to return over there!

[Princess_Nikki]

Hi everyone!! My name is Nikki, I'm truly a Princess, and I am terribly crazy over Disney. Me and my DH live in Florida (Northwest! I WISH Celebration!!) with our two little boys who are 3 years old and 7 months old. We actually went on our Honeymoon to WDW and I really wanted to get married there. Due to traveling issue with family, we got married near home instead, and plan to renew our 10 year anniversary vows at WDW!

I'm 31 and from the time I can remember having a memory, I've loved anything Disney. My FAVORITE character is Ariel, and I collect all sorts of things! My 3 year old is a huge Buzz Lightyear fan. He also have a funny fondness for Goofy. The baby seems to be leaning towards being a Mickey Mouse fan. Heehee. My husband just puts up with it all. LOL! I'm going to make him a Disney fan yet! Someday I hope to reside in Celebration, Florida. My husband has promised!! LOL!

Nice to meet you all!!

[Danibelle]

I have finally registered for the boards but I have been "lurking" for awhile. I'm a long time Disney addict since 1957. I found the podcast and hope to attend Disapolooza next year!

Hey this is Rony dsouza from USA saying hello to everyone out here.
I am new to this website.

[ChaMakay1923]

A friend of mine from school kept mentioning to me about this DIS Rumor boards thing when we would discuss Disney... I asked her if she'd "hook me up" with this DIS thing.... she never said anything to me on how to get here. I'ma guessin she didn't want to give out the secrets...:rotfl: Well anyway, as I was looking around the WDW site... I came across the DIS boards! So here I am.... hoping to find all the great ideas to make my trip easy and more exciting. I will be graduating college in July/August of this year and my graduation is being held down in Miami FL. in 2011. So I figured since I need to go down there for my grad.. why not plan a trip to Disney for the family??? Getting SO excited and can't wait!:tigger: This year is gonna drag out for me, I just know it! :sad2:

[Spazzie]

Hi Everyone! I'm also a newbie to this cite. Was lurking for a long time as we gear up for our next disney trip (bring on the warmth of FL). Never participated in anything like this before hope I get it right!

Mom of a VERY active 4 year old little boy who is a Phineas and Ferb, Mickey, and Star Wars fan.

I'm so grateful for this board and all the kind people!

Hello! My name is Heather and I am new here! Our family is planning a trip for October this year. Our children are a dd-9 and ds-6. They will be 10 and 7 for our first trip with them to the land of Mickey! We can't wait!!!:cool1::cool1:
I just found out about pin codes and discounts....who knew?? Obviously my dh and I probably paid too much in '99 when we went, but back then we were young(er) and inexperienced. :cutie: Now I'd like to get the best bang for my buck and make sure the kids have a truly memorable time! Thanks for the welcomes!

[canfield77]

Hello! This is my first post and wanted to make sure that it would work! My DS and DH and I are going on our first trip together as a family in May 2010, this will be my DH's fifth time to Disney (He never went before he met me, then I suckered him into it and now he is also hooked :cool1:) This will be my DS's first time, he will be a little over a year. And Me? Well I've went so many times I lost count Yay! Over ten times at least, I wish I would have kept better track during my childhood years so that I would know exactly how many times I've been! I think it must be around 14 or 15, but I'm going to start keeping track over again with a total "family" count. I don't know much about forums and posting, so any advice is greatly appreciated! I want to start a pre-trip report soon, I love reading all the TR's! But I need more info on how to do this newfangled contraption, I've never been part of a forum with threads and posts and everything before. Anyway, thanks for all the great Disney chat and info! I love Disney more than anyone I know, and now I get to meet other "freaks" like me!

[TheThomsLuvDisney]

This is also my first post and I agree with Canfield 77, this is site is amazing opportunity to meet other Disney fanatics!!!

We leave in 9 days for a trip to DW then Disney Cruise.....sooooo excited!:yay:

Thank you everyone for their Disney insights, now I just need to learn the lingo and how to decorate the posts (I'm sure there is thread for that too!)!

[cleondann]

First show that i have seen in my childhood is Disney hour...
My favorite disney character is Donald duck and goofy and Pluto and... sorry
All are my favorites.

[shelbys mommy]

Hi! This is my first post here. We have been to WDW in 07 with the in laws & we are now in the works of booking our very 1st family trip in June! I am so super excited!!! Our son will turn 10 while we are there & this will be our baby girl's very 1st trip, she will be 14 months old at the time. We also have a 7 yr old boy.

I am so looking forward to reading all the planning tips since this is my 1st time doing all the planning & reading tips on having a baby at Disney!

[jodivee]

Hello everyone.

First timer here in all things! First time on the board, planning our VERY first Disney trip for all of us!!!
To say we are excited - and that I am overwhelmed - is a gross understatement. haha!
We will be staying at All-Star Movies from Feb 2-11.
Did I mention we are excited?? ;0)
I welcome any and all tips/hints/ideas. We have the park-hoppers with dining plan, and I also have been reading/devouring The Unofficial Guide.. like crazy.
I have also found so much information here on the boards. It's fun to see others just as excited as we are!
can't wait!!

[Dotsie]

I'm new to these boards as well. We are leaving in 99 days (can you tell I am beyond excited) for our first family trip to Disney World. I have learned so much from these boards in the short time I have been here.

[philbar]

:thumbsup2 Hello I have just found this site, and this is my very first post. No doubt once I get my bearings I will have great fun and pleasure in contributing :grouphug:
I am off to Florida once again in March and I cannot wait :cloud9:

This site is so great and full of information! I don't even know where to begin!!!! If you post and someone replies to your post, does it let you know? Just wondering (hopefully, I can find out!)

[cjstrunk]

1st post. Thinking about a trip to Disney in April. Trying to save as much as possible, so checking around and reading the boards to save, save, save.

Cindy

[DisneyBrideNGroom]

First post and loving what we see so far! :cool1:

[ralanthony]

New here and absolutely amazed! Wish I would have know about this place 4 years ago when we took our first trip. Planning next trip in March and cannot wait. Thanks for all the amazing info. A little anxious about visiting during spring break. Looking forward to tips how to handle that crowd.

Looking forward to spending more time here, have to admit a little overwhelmed at the moment, but positive it will all get easier.

:earsboy:

[Tada85]

Hi new to the boards here as well. My first trip to Disney was a few years back when I was in college. Now I am planning my Disney Wedding/Honeymoon. We also became DVC members a year ago in BLT.

I hope I can find (and give) good advice!

[cheshirecatsbaby]

Hello everyone! :lovestruc I've been going to Disneyland my whole life, my mom went as a teen. I have been collecting Disney for about 25 years now, my house is getting quite full at this point! I collect pins, snowglobes, figures, dolls, books, well just about everything!
My favorite is Cheshire cat and Alice in Wonderland, but I like a lot of Disney characters too. I have a large Cheshire Cat tattoo on my arm, my little white bug is always covered with Disney stickers and my plate reads "DIZ BUG" many people in Vegas comment that they have seen me driving around!

[tinkerbell48]

I love this site. It is full of great information. No longer a lurker. Got 9 posts under my belt now.:cool1:

[kisti1]

Wow, this is overwhelming for a newcomer.

[kisti1]

I did not realize there could be so much info about WDW. . And I have been going for 20 years.

[newmrsmurphy]

I went to WDW last August for the first time and, of course, it was love at first sight! My hubby did all the planning for the last trip, so we decided I would plan this trip! I am so excited! I listen to disunplugged... every show! I love hearing about Disney every week! I am so glad to be here and can't wait to meet new people!

If you have any questions about points and all that that is the place to ask. And take a look around our other boards because they all have valuable information and can help you with any Disney planning needs.

Welcome to all you "newbies" :banana: When I was new I found the best information by going to the discussion topics about the resorts I was staying at and the parks I was visiting - actually the first time was the cruise I was going on in 2005. There is so much helpful information out there and so many great people to meet. Some actually meet up at WDW or other places - amazing community here!

how do I put the cruises that we have taken and upcoming cruise dates on the bottom of my threads? I see where everyone has theirs listed and don't know how to do it. Thanks for any help.:confused:

As the previous poster explained how to add to your siggie, I just wanted to ad that you can find a "ticker" you like in someone's siggie and click on it. It will take you to the websites where you can build yours. It is very easy to follow. Tickerfactory.com seems to be a fav. I like cruiseclocks.com too.

Hello! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put my email address in a post when looking to rent DVC points? Is it true you need to have so many posts under your belt before you can show your email address?

[lovetoscrap]

Hello! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put my email address in a post when looking to rent DVC points? Is it true you need to have so many posts under your belt before you can show your email address?

As long as it conforms with the DVC board rules then you can include it, but it is really never a good idea to post your email in an open forum like the DIS. Your account is set so that someone can click on your username and get the option to send you an email privately or they can send you a Private Message on our boards.

[freya]

Thank you very much for the advice!! I won't post my email.:)

If you are trying to use the same computer it won't show a place to sign up because you already are a member. You will either have to use a different computer or toss your cookies to that the site doesn't recognize you as a member. Even when you log out your cookies still tell the site that you have registered here already.

If you need any more help with this please post your question on our Technical Support board found at the bottom of the main forum list. That is where our tech gurus hang out! :)

Hi there! Long time lurker, first time poster. I looked at this forum quite frequently when I planned my 2007 trip to WDW, and found tons of great advice! Hope to be able to give back some, and gather more info for a 2013 anniversary trip sans kids. Aloha! :flower:

[Corbisblue]

Hello! My partner and I are heading to WDW (the first time for me) in May 2010. Been reading here for the past month. I was really excited when I found out we were going. After reading the forums here and looking at all the photos. I absolutely cannot wait!

I'm more excited then ever to finally go to WDW. Been dreaming of this since I was a child (my family could never afford to go). I'm totally going to sport some Mickey Ears when I go!

[esparrow]

this is so exciting! my first ever discussion forum x

[shebaxric]

I'm sorry to post a reply here, but it seems like this is the only place I can. I've been gone from the boards for about three months, and I went into read a trip report and tried to reply to it, but unfortunately, it's telling me I am not able to access replying?:confused3 I've been trying to find the information in the FAQ's, but can find anything about being inactivated after a certain amount of time. I'm not able to PM, either. I've met the minimum posting requirements, I don't know what to do. Please help! If a moderator could send me a PM, I would be very thankful as I've really missed being here!

Thank you!

I just joined the other night while I was looking on google for the receipe for the Lemon Freeze at France in Epcot. I just stumbled into this board and found it so interesting to have so many Disney lovers! I'm 31 and watch Disney movies over and over! I've never grown up and found that fellow Disney lover haven't either! Lol! I wish I knew about the CP when I was in school I would have done it! I might not be a Texan anymore had I known. But for now I'll just settle on the trips. I have 3 kids who love Disney as well. 2 boys 15yo, 8yo, and 1 girl 6yo. I've been married for 17yrs now and we all share the love! We started our first Disney craze with framing and hanging all of our lithographs from our movie pre-orders! All our decorating has some kind of Disney influence! Then we went on our first trip to DL and loved it so much we went back 3 times! Then we decided to go to WDW in 06 and got hooked now we've gone every year! My kids ask daily "When are we going to WDW?" I just say later. B/c of I give a date my 8yo will count down the days every morning when he pops out of bed! It's funny b/c as soon as he opens his eyes he says a # like 30 more days! Now that I've found this board I can't seem to put my phone down! I hope I posted this in the right spot I couldn't find a place for introductions. If this is the wrong place can you please put it where it belongs?Thanks everyone for being so helpful, inviting, and wonderful! I've posted a couple times alreadysince I joined!

P.S. Just wondering... Is this the Dis that was there in 06? When I was there at WDW there was a group of ladies at my hotel that was a part of the Dis and it was a ladies only vacation they said. Just wondering if it was the same group as on here. Thanks

The DIS has been around for around 11 or 12 years I believe so you very likely did meet a group from the DIS. There are several ladies only groups that have gone. From the math I think that probably wasn't one of the ones I was in, which is probably a good thing! :blush:

What hotel were you at and what time of year was it?

My first post! Been to Disney only 4x and loved each trip. Found this website before the last trip (Spring '10) and it was very helpful for planning.

Took DW, DD (6), DD (2) and DD (10m). Surprisingly - we still had a great time despite a DD in potty training and DD still using forumula and bottles. Not to mention torential rain 2 of our 6 days! We're going back and hopefully doing DVC.

Glad to find this site!

[ronnmel]

Hi all!

Been posting on the forum, but figured I should visit this thread too. Went to DisneyWorld last summer with FI and his 10 y.o. daughter and did quite a bit of lurking here. Weren't planning on going back to Disney for quite some times, until we got kids of our own and they are old enough to ride everything. Wasn't planning on having a honeymoon either.

But now we've decided we can't wait that long and are going to take a Disneymoon just the two of us. :lovestruc

It's only in August 2011, but we've already started the planning. :rotfl: Should be quite a different experience to go without a kid.

[leshunlenese]

Hey first time on DIS but NOT a disney rookie! im taking my son along wit the fam on his first trip this october! ive been to disney hundreds of times mostly because im a WDWCP alumni or CP as we called it but i have never been to disney around this time so im sooo excited for DS first birthday and MNSSHP!

[THEVACATIONFAMILY]

Hey first time on DIS but NOT a disney rookie! im taking my son along wit the fam on his first trip this october! ive been to disney hundreds of times mostly because im a WDWCP alumni or CP as we called it but i have never been to disney around this time so im sooo excited for DS first birthday and MNSSHP!

:thumbsup2I hope your son enjoys his 1st trip, we took our 1 y/o DD, at that time, last Apr. and she was very unhappy:mad:, but we know the reason why now. NEVER FORGET THEIR BLANKETS or ANYKIND OF FAVORITES that they may have. But all in all it was a nice 3 days, but this time, we are going 10 days MYW :cool1:. Good Luck and Congrats on taking family for a vacation. Have a Magical Day. :thumbsup2

[leshunlenese]

aww thank u for the tips. hes only 7 months know so i will need to keep an eye out for his favorite things. i hope he enjoys it. my friends are always saying that becasue i love it so much he will not feel the same..lol..If thats the case ill just save money when he gets older and he can stay at home ..lol

[3girlsfun]

Just wanted to try out a first posting! I have been lurking for about a week or so, and now that DH gave me the full on "ok" to plan our Thanksgiving trip, I registered! Looking forward to going back to the magic with 3 DD's! :love:

[bluebonnetmama]

I'm so excited! My DH, DS (12) and DD (7) and I are all going to DW for the first time in June 2010. We're less than two months from our arrival date, and we're all really looking forward to the trip. It seems like every day there's at least one mention of "when we're on vacation" or "when we're at Disney World". We're going to be staying at the Polynesian. Now I've just got to get through the end of the school year (I teach) so that we can start driving to Florida the day after that.

How do you survive the wait until your first ever DW visit? :cool1:

Take care,
Shannon

[gabrismom]

My family is going to Disney and June. I am so glad I found this site. Great boards, great advice.
The other day I found a section dedicated to the month people are scheduled to go to Disney. I can't seem to locate it now. (It's probably obvious which will make me feel silly:blush:.) Can someone direct me there?
thanks

[lovetoscrap]

My family is going to Disney and June. I am so glad I found this site. Great boards, great advice.

Hmmm, do you mean the Meets board? Where people see who else is going the same time they are? That board is in the Just For Fun section all the way down towards the bottom of the main Forum page.

You will probably also get some great information from our site www.wdwinfo.com and that would be great place for you to start. :)

Hey all,
I suppose I did this backwards and found the podcast before I knew about the boards. With as much fun as the podcasters are having, I figured the boards would be a hoot too. We are planning a trip for DH's birthday in January, 2011, and just got gifted some timeshare points to stay at Wyndham Bonnet Creek for the week with the in-laws. We're so excited to have the DISboards as a reference, and I'm sure you'll be seeing me around much more in the future. Now, off to read some more forums...popcorn::

I went through the tutorial video to learn how to do a ticker. I did as shown. When I go to 'edit signature', my code is in the box but the actual ticker doesn't show up at the top. There is just a red x there. If I click on it, it goes to the page "dis ticker". What the heck am I doing wrong? :confused3 I don't have any signature set up. Should I?

The DIS tickers are having a problem with their servers right now so they aren't working. Give it a few days and try again.

Hi, I'm new to this and need to know exactly what to click on each time I want to add a thread pls!

My question is this:

Am a family with 3 kids, all aged under 10 yrs. Going to USA for first time. Staying at Quality Inn Plaza. Have seen that transport to Universal studios is free. I rang the hotel and its 16 dollars each for round trip to Disney Park = 80 dollars for all 5 of us each day we go there!!

A customer in the travel agents said that if we get a 2 wk ticket for I drive buses then we can hop on I drive bus to a hotel where the shuttles to Disney Parks are free. They reckoned that you don't need ID for where you are staying and can just get on the shuttle bus to Disney.

Is this right? And is it the same for coming home - obviously we'd have to get off at the hotel we got on at. I see in the Jetsave brochure that shuttles are free with Econo Lodge, Howard Johnson Inn and Orlando Continental Plaza Hotel. Wish I'd booked for there!! Could I hop on their shuttle bus?

Otherwise I will hire a car however didn't really want to drive.

Thanks JM.

To start a new thread you just click on the button on the top or bottom left that says "New Thread"-- it is in the same place that you found the "Post Reply" button.

This question really belongs on our Transportation Board so please check out that forum and post it there. They are really the experts on the various Transportation systems available. If you need help posting over there please let me know. :)

But I will say that the free shuttles at the other resorts are intended for guests of those resorts only so it would not be right to show up and take those, and at the worst case you could get in a lot of trouble if the hotel decided that they wanted to take this further than just telling you to leave. I don't know anything about the Idrive busses (the Transportation board will, I am sure) but maybe you can just take that all the way to the parks?

i plan on visiting disney 12-8 tol 12-15 i have dining plan, now last year they extend free plan till 12-16 will this happen again

There is no way to know--Disney doesn't announce anything ahead of time. We have a Codes and Rates board as a subforum of the Disney Resorts board. They will have all the rumors and news of any specials and you can join others in waiting to see what will happen.

[sahummel]

Good luck with that!

[Disney Dancin']

Hello from Iowa! Soooo excited for our upcoming trip #4 to the World :yay: Our very first trip to WDW was just our family of five's regular summer vacation (1998 - Dixie Landings). And now this will be our third trip made due to our lifelong love of all things DANCE! We have done the Disney Magic Music Days performances with our old studio twice with the entire family going (2001 - ASMov and 2004 - ASMus), and this trip will consist of myself with my youngest DD17, she has her dance Nationals at the Coronado Springs Resort July 1-9...we are tacking on a few extra days just to be sure we get in everything we want to do and see, so will be there June 29-July 10! My oldest DD24 and her DBF also decided to come along separately on their own self-sufficient (woo hoo, that feels great to say! lol) vacation this summer from July 2-9...so my dilemma then has been my poor middle DD19 who is (was??) currently being relegated to staying home with my DH...we are trying to do this trip on the cheap as it was a totally unplanned for expense, and really probably have no business doing to begin with. It didn't take too much arm twisting by my daughter's fellow competition dance team friends to get us to also come along so they could compete all their group dances, not just solos. I am a sucker when it comes to Disney, so we are going for it!!! But I just feel sad for the middle DD. It wasn't going to be too sad at first to leave her behind, because she does A LOT of traveling with her university's dance team, but now, heartbreakingly she is not going to be able to continue being on the team for the upcoming school year, so doesn't have their summer camp/traveling and rehearsals and the like to soften the blow of us being gone. Sooooo, since her birthday is July 11, I have secretly gotten her an airline ticket at a grrrreat price, and am going to spring for the extra 10 bucks a day to add her to our room ressie...all she has to do is pay for her own PH-er pass and her food...which is very doable with the rest of the birthday money she will get from her grandparents plus a little of her own paycheck from her nannying job! Thankfully she put in a time off request with her nanny family for the week that we will be at Disney as she and my hubby/her daddy were going to take a little car trip to Chicago for the weekend to at least do a little something special while the rest of us are living it up in Orlando. However, now I have to break the news to my DH that I have gone and done this secret add-on trip for DD19, when we are really trying to be budget conscious. He will be okay with it, I know, because I would have spent close to the same amount I did on her airfare/lodging as I would on any other birthday gift I got for her :) Right??? Right????:scared: Please think of me as I break the news to him sometime this week, hahahaha! Anyway, I am very excited to spring the surprise on DD19...love spreading the Disney Magic! (Oh, and don't feel bad for my DH not to be joining us, he got to do DTD and Epcot while at his annual national meeting in January, whilst the rest of us were stuck in record cold and snow here in the "tundra"! ;))

Here is to a successful Nationals for DD17 and to our all around fun time I know is in store for us!

Well, that is my story so far...and I am sticking to it! I have been reading days of posts on a couple of the forums...so glad I have that to give me an outlet for my constant thinking of our trip!!! Great info, love it, even though this is our 4th time out of the gate:lovestruc

Looking forward to chiming in now! (gotta figure out how to do the tickers, siggies, and other cool stuff I am seeing everyone else doing!)
TIA for allowing me to introduce myself!

Hi everyone! I am brand new and earning my ears. I have joined this site to aid me in planning the ultimate Disney vacation. We are hoping to go late Sept. I am looking for advice as to the best place to stay, restaurants, etc. I heard you could rent Disney time shares, but how? Which monorail hotel is best for a family of three?
thanks!

Welcome! You won't get many answers to your questions in this thread. Take a look around our Forums and you will find specific boards for the things you are looking for. We have a DVC Specific set of forums that you can look at for Renting Points and Disney Resorts Board will all sorts of information on the different resorts. You will, however, find that there are fans of every resort so you may want to look at our www.wdwinfo.com site with descriptions of each one, and the FAQ threads on the Resorts Board and see what you think will fit your family best. What one person loves, another may not-- you will find a huge variety of opinions on these boards! :)
