Long Islander all my life. Grew up in Bay Shore, grad of class of '69, and have lived in East Yaphank for 35 years now. We also just built a house in Jensen Beach, FL and hope to be there full time in 2 years or so (much closer to WDW!). Have a great day everyone!

Born in Commack, moved to Holtsville when I was 1, then moved to Sag Harbor when I was 7; got married in '87 and moved to Southampton, been here 16 years. I have a Canada Mickey antennae topper and a HHI decal on the back of my maroon suburban. Don't flame me but I don't like living here anymore; way too many people taking away the natural beauty imho. Planning on moving in about 10 years to Hilton Head area. (Hate hate hate the winters on Long Island!!)
Live in Lindenhurst work in Babylon. We have owned since 2001 and have added on since. We are raising 2 Disney teens and we are suceeding in making them just as obsessed as us. Everytime I see an Antenna topper or disney license plate I always wonder if they are DVC memebers.
We were at a block party on sat. We were intruduced as Disney experts to a couple that are going in dec for the first time with their 3 boys (2,5,8). The husband described the trip as having to do it now to get Disney out of the way (some people just don't get it). I told them that they are going at the busiest time of the year. If they are going to have fun they have to go with the attitude that they are not there to see it all they are just there to have fun with their boys. I hate being asked why do you keep going there by people that just don't get it.
Its funny how every time we go down to disney we meet so many Long Islanders. We were at the Luau one year, we sat down next to a couple from W. Islip, we all couldn't stop laughing it was a real fun evening. When we took the Disney cruise we got in an elevator and just from all the conversations in the elevator we all figured out we were all mostly from L.I. except one lone person LOL.
Sorry for the long post. My conclusion is that we Long Islanders love Disney, and it is always fun to meet fellow Long Islanders when we are there.

another 1 (really 4
).born in NJ, raised in deer park, babylon village for a year, & back to DP for the past 20 years.
i've traveled all over the country (with parents, & as an adult) & i still LOVE long island ~ there is soooo much to do here: beautiful beaches (love our town beaches), the east end, NYC within driving distance...........we're lucky enough to live in a vacation area without being outnumbered by tourists.
long islanders are also some of the friendliest people in the world. we enjoy talking with ppl where ever we go ~ more often than not, the only "perfect strangers" that will chat, offer a seat on a bus, let someone ahead on a line are from LI
i'm so glad my parents took me around the country ~ otherwise i might have become one of those displaced LIer's who left only to regret their decision (& we ALL know ppl like that
).
