Please allow me to introduce myself . . .

[that's nice]

Real name: James
From: New Orleans
Family situation: Married 17 years, 3 kids - DS14, DS12, DD6
Pets: yellow lab Nola, white gold fish from school fair that won't last long Scarlet
Favorite food: anything...just add bacon
Favorite drink: Coffee - just coffee- not latte, ole' or any other way

I've been reading a lot and finally decided to start posting as most of my family will not get as excited about our trip until after turkey day (also DW's Bday), Christmas, and DD's birthday right after New Years. My Bday happens to fall on Mardi Gras in 2014, so we are leaving the biggest free party on Earth to go to the Happiest Place on Earth for a week - no place I'd rather be. My DisDads qualifications? I love my family, love all things Disney, love bacon, love football, love coaching DSs' baseball teams, starting to love princess stuff because DD does. What makes me a DISdad? I sold half my SAINTS season tickets so I could afford to make our next trip extra special. This will be our 5th trip since 2004. DD barely remembers her fist in 2011 and this is the last one we will have while she is that perfect princess loving age.

Looking forward to joining the fun before, during and after our trip, then sticking around as the cycle begins again.

James!!!

Wow... selling 1/2 of your Saints tix shows dedication. Hope you were at the game last night for that beat down on the Cowgirls.

Sounds like you have all the qualifications. Make sure you stop by the main thread HERE and introduce yourself. Randall will be around to give you an official number.

Pets: 4 Cats (not my choice... got outvoted)
Favorite Food: Ice cream... any kind but chocolate.

I'm not sure I have the DisDads qualification, but I work with an individual who is a Disneyphile who preps me with all types trivia all day long. That and his collection of Disney plush toys has spilled over into my office. That's gotta count for something.
