Ring a bell??

How you doin'?

Name: Catherine

42, never married, not dating, no children, no pets, love/hate relationship with job, have attractive feet (Denise is cringing), I go absolutely crazy if I am not traveling out of town at least every other weekend, DVC member, WDW annual passholder, occasional drunk, full-time geek, freak of nature, can photoshop anything.

Occasional??





Name: Denise

State: New Jersey. Exit Zero!

Who I'm traveling with: Me

Ladies Trip Veteran or "Newbie": Sort of a newbie. I went last year but with my family so I didn't get to do anything with the coughladiescough.

Favorite Disney park: Epcot, especially at night. Unfortunately I'm usally back in my room before dark, soaking my feet and trying to figure out what channel my show is on.

Favorite ride(s): Tower of Terror

Favorite character: Dr. McDreamy (no one said it had to a Disney character )

Favorite color: green

Favorite drink: I don't drink but I'm currently in training.

Favorite food: Italian

Favorite show: Survivor, Amazing Race, The Apprentice, Big Brother (see a pattern?)

Other info:
I've been married for 36 years. My dd is married and has two children, Alec 14and Andrew 3. My oldest ds has been married for a little over a year with no children and my youngest ds is married with one dd, Makayla who will be six on March 8th. My 84 yo mother lives with us and has since 1981. 1981

We have a dog, a cat, a rabbit and a hamster. The cat was the only one that was my idea.

I work full time and I'm eagerly looking forward to retiring.

I think Catherine's 'attractive feet' are debatable.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

OK, I'd love to play...

My name is Linda, but I have learned to answer to Tig or Tigger, even though that's kind of odd when I'm at home and my cat is there.

I'm known as one of the snarky ones on the DIS CB...I really have no idea why.

I'm a SAHM with four children...a college daughter and sons who are in high school, middle school, and my little caboose who is 7yo. I've been married for 24 years. I live in Maryland and have for 15 years, but I am from Oregon.

My very favorite of all the WDW rides is the Tower of Terror. Actually, it's my favorite ride anywhere. My dream is to ride ToT for hours straight. I try to ride it as many times as possible per trip and I think my record is 23 times one trip.

I wasn't able to go to the Ladies Meet last year as much as I want to, but I am very much looking forward to going this year.

 

[JennaTX]

Oh yeah. Love that stuff. They serve it in a pineapple and everything.

Wait. That isn't a drink at the Tambu Lounge?

Yum, that is my favorite drink at WDW, besides the blue goose of course!

 

[Missy1961]

[sne26]

This was a great idea!

Name: Stacey

State: Maryland.

Who I'm traveling with: My old college friend Kris. We don't get to see each other as much anymore, so this will be really nice.

Ladies Trip Veteran or "Newbie": Newbie

Favorite Disney park:Magic Kingdom

Favorite ride(s): Soaring, Everest Expedition, ToT, Space Mountain, RnRC. Oh, and watching Wishes, and the spectromagic parade.

Favorite character: Princesses, Tigger and Mickey. Oh, and a non Disney character would be Logan Huntzburger from Gilmore Girls. I have a crush on Logan Huntzburger

Favorite color: pink

Favorite drink: Wine and beer. My favorite wine is Reisling Relax and I'm searching for a red wine that I like- I haven't been able to find one yet.

Favorite food: Sushi, Steak and a potato, Salmon, Maryland Vegetable Crab Soup. I love all food, it just depends what mood I'm in. I just don't like anything that spicy. Oh, and I love desserts, but I'm one of those freaks who doesn't LOVE chocolate. I like chocolate, but I'll pick a fruit tart over a triple chocolate cake any day! And I love fruit with my chocolate- like chocolate covered strawberries.

Favorite show: Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewifes, Brother's and Sisters, Lost, Brother's and Sisters, What about Brian....
All time favorite are: Gilmore girls, Friends and Little House on the Prairie.

Other info:

I'm 32. I've been with my DH for 6 1/2 years, and married for 5 years. We have 2 children- Zachary (4) and Lily (2). I'm a stay at home mom and feel very lucky for that. I want to have a third (and last) child soon. I'm hoping to be pregnant on the trip because then my kids would not be too far apart in age, but yet I wouldn't mind not, because then I could drink and ride the thrill rides! I'm excited to go to the Food and Wine festival, and it would be hard not to try to wine!

I have always loved Disney. I'm hoping to corrupt my kids into loving Disney also. I want them to grow up begging to go to WDW each year. My Dh likes Disney, but is not as much of a fan of the parks. He thinks they are only for kids because they only have "baby" rides. He can't understand why on earth I want to go to WDW without the kids. He'd be going to Cedar Point or Islands of Adventure or somewhere like that- with the best thrill rides. I want to go on this trip so I can do some of the things I can't do with my small kids- like have a nice peaceful dinner out, and go on a tour, and not have to parent swap the kids for rides and all that! And so I can meet some nice people who also love Disney!

My biggest hobby is eating out- I love to eat out. And when I get the chance- wine tastings, riding roller coasters, reading, cross stitch, scrapbooking, jigsaw puzzles, and pencil puzzles (logic prob's, word fines, ect)

Well that's about it!

[mommaU4]

Mac, I see you are going in June. Are you into the whole Star Wars thing too?

 

[Zoemakes5]

Thanks everyone for responding!!! Hopefully, newbies and veterans both will post!

There were a couple questions asked that I haven't answered yet.
Overall, my favorite drink is a raspberry margarita, but I'm pretty open! It just has to be a girlie drink!

My favorite ride, that's a really tough one! If I had to pick just one ride I "must" go on, it's POTC. Though, I think my absolute favorite is Splash, I love the whole song of the south thing!

Favorite park? Once again, a tough one. If I had to rank them, I think they'd be MK, EPCOT, AK, & MGM.

My favorite food? Well, I love food, so once again, yep, it's tough. I think it's probably easier to put down what I don't like....seafood, greek, indian and thai. The first, I'm allergic to, the others, there's something about the spices that don't agree with me.

[jeminni]

Jeminni were you at the Le Cellier dinner last year with your son and daughter? If so, I was at the table next to you.

Yes Pat that was me. It was a shame it was so crowded there and the way the tables were set up that none of us really got a chance to talk to each other. I see you said that you enjoyed the food and wine festival last year. I did too, looking forward to going back this year If you decide to go this year and need a park buddy to ride with just give me a yell

Just to clear up any confusion....

This is LOFA TATUPU (in the hat). Good to have a drink with perhaps, but not an actual drink.

And this is a Lapu Lapu. Not good at football, but might make a game of football more fun to watch after downing a few of them.

 

[mommaU4]

I live in Minnesota, but grew up in the beach area of Los Angeles, and even lived in FL for awhile.

Where did you grow up? I lived in SoCal for about 26 years, and my husband was born and raised there.

I miss it so much and I've only been away from it for 2 years. What about you? Ever miss it?

 

[MakiraMarlena]

And this is a Lapu Lapu. Not good at football, but might make a game of football more fun to watch after downing a few of them.

It kind of LOOKS like a football though. Maybe Lofa Tatupu would sign a Lapu Lapu.

I am bored enough to be running around the DIS under all my secret identities.

 

[jordansmomma]

This is a Lofa Tatupu......
I haven't tried a Lofa Tatupu, yet but i sure would love too!!

I believe you were talking about a drink though, a lapu lapu or something like that. A Lofa might just be as yummy as a lapu lapu!!!

Who are you?
