Hope this helps :)

PS. Why do people wear lime green ribbons or buttons? Lime green has become the "official" color of the DIS. Many times DISers wear lime green ribbons so that other DISers can recognize them. The DISers who originated the idea, did so to make sure it was an unusal color that would stand out. It's a way to get to meet other DISers.

tag fairies, are magical beings who visit the boards, and grace people with tags under their usernames. You never know when they are going to strike, or where....you just have to believe

[stich626]

thanks for the help. I am new to this and was wondering how to insert a timer in to my signature.

[SmilenGirl]

Hello !! I think I hit the jackpot with this site, but the crowds and the sheer size are pretty scary !!! If this site is overwhelming can you imagine what WDW will do for us?? We (DH (who hates crowds), DD 14 and me smilen all the way to Mickey) It looks like we have planned the busiest time of the year to go !! We will be at the CBR 12/23-12/28 !! I don't have a game plan other than today we went ahead and reserved a car because it looks like the crowds are going to be so huge we may have to leave WDW to go eat. I have so many questions, and I know the answers are here some where. I am just overwhelmed by it all. Any help would be greatly appreciated ! Is there hope for DD14 to go on some of the more famous rides? We have never even been to Florida this is quite an undertaking for us. :earseek:

[stich626]

I can't wait to go back. I miss Mickey! This site helos me cope. lol

[SmilenGirl]

Just wanted to see if I got the timer. It's still 40 days weather its there or not !!! WHAHOO !!

[SmilenGirl]
