[Bastiansmom]

I'm a recently turned 27 subcontract administrator for an electric company,
DH almost 30 scared1 is a pull /count team supervisor at a casino.

DS will be 8 in August. He is the sweetest little boy ever, but tends to get a mild case of "only child syndrome" every once in a while.

We will celebrate our 8th anniversary in July. We married 1 month to the day before DS was born. Needless to say, I was quite the bride! We met at the restaurant where we both worked.

We all love Disney. DH lived in CA when he was younger, so he's been to DL a few times. We took our first (family) trip to DL in 2007, went to WDW last year, and will go back to DL this summer. DH and I feel so blessed to be able to travel with DS and share experiences that were few and far between in the single parent households we lived in growing up!

Can I join the fun?

Me-37, county govt schlep
DH-34, IT geek
DS-16, student and all around great kid
Friend of DS-16, we have turned this kid into a true Dis fan
DS-4, awesome kid

My DH and I would have sworn we were not Disney people and had no interest in going to WDW until I won our first trip years ago when I was in banking. Lots of meetings and so forth that trip but we thought it was fun and changed our outlook on WDW. Won another trip the following year and we consider ourselves certified Disney fanatics now.
We now have my entire family hooked and we have a large group of 12 that now plan an annual trip together.

[ZephyrHawk]

DH: He's 32, has been a lawyer slightly longer than me, and now works as an administrative law judge.

We've been married for 7 years. Our love of Disney was one of the things that initially got us talking in college. DH was a CM for several summers and I thought that was the coolest thing I'd ever heard of. No kids just yet, but definitely thinking about it in the next year or so. Just the one cat for now.

 

[bdoyledimou]

Me - 38 IT Executive - 18 years in the company!!! - divorced for 5 years.
SO - 38 Works for the same company but in a different area, but used to be an Immigration Law clerk.
Kidlet1- 12 year old Boy (moody!!!)
Kidlet2 - 10 year old girl (Dancing queen!)

We are a bit of an oddity. my Ex wife of 13 years (and we dated for 5 years before that!) lives 350 meters away, on the same street. We still get along, just had different plans for our adult life.. The kids just kind of end up at on or the others house and we let each other know where they are.

SO and Ex get along as well, (even Ex's family, mom dad and two sisters love my SO).

We are a family of Disney lovers.. the onlything that makes Kidlet1 smile is the talk about our upcoming vacation. SO originally thought Disney as an overpriced tourist trap, having never been there, but i talked her into coing with us two years ago, and she fell in love with it.

She burst into tears when she met Mickey, she burst into tears when we went on Soar'n, she burst into tears when we had to leave to come home. She started making plans to come back while we were driving home

 

[PolyAddict]
