Hi Everyone!

I know that we have several new lurkers/posters here and thought it would be fun to have a spot to say hello. Are you new? Post below and let us know! What is your favorite Disney park?

Not new but have been hit or miss on the boards lately and feeling a little disconnected This thread makes me happy to get a toe back in! My favorite Disney park is the MK in WDW. After many trips to WDW, we made the pilgrimage to DL this summer and saw where it all began. It was nice but ... I think we're still WDW people.

Hi! I'm newish...I mean, I have been a long long long time lurker! However, I found the podcast and now I am completely hooked. I listen to it to and from work each day (I teach kindergarten).

My fiance and I are visiting Disney World in late December and have gotten so many good tips and stories to get us excited for the trip!

Thanks for all you guys do here!

I'm new here!

Been a Disboards member for a long, long time. Something like 11 years. Well before I even moved and worked in Disney. Loved Disney before, during, and obviously long after though I'm more of a lurker than a talker on the forums nowadays.

Just discovered the DIS Podcast about 3 weeks ago and I'm greatly disappointed it took me so long to do so. Hope to stick around for a while and maybe provide some great insight to the community.

I'm semi new - I just found the podcast and boards in January. I've been going to WDW since 1976, and had the attitude of "Pshaw! I don't need no podcast to teach me about Disney!" When My Magic + rolled out, I realized I had a LOT to learn about the new system. The podcast and the boards were super helpful while I was planning my June 2014 trip! (Which was am-AZ-in!) And then I figured it out - the podcast and the boards are about more than just sharing information. It's about a community who loves Disney.

When I moved to L.A. in 1995 I fell in love at first sight with DL. Found the DL podcast and the boards. I feel like all these people "get me" and my Disney theme parks and resorts obsession. My most recent DL trip was September 20th.

I actually don't have a Disney trip planned right now which is making me twitchy. But I'll definitely be back to BOTH places, plus looking at a DCL trip in 2016 and an Aulani trip in 2017.

I'm somewhat new to the boards and the podcast! Lifelong Disney fan and just recently started listening in during my running workouts.

I've been on the boards for awhile, but only listening to the podcast for six months or so.

My name is Diane, and I'm married and a mother of three. I'm a life long Disney fan, and my first trip to the park (WDW) was as a kid in the late 1970s. I grew up, got married, and moved out west, and now my "home park" is the Disneyland Resort. We alternate between the two as a family now.

My favorite park is Disneyland, and I honestly thought I'd never say that, being a born and bred WDW girl. I scoffed at the tiny castle, and commercial nature of everything surrounding it. It seemed small, and nothing compared to WDW. And then I went for my first visit, and had a complete change of heart. That park has a special kind of magic that warms my heart every time I'm there. As soon as I enter, I turn toward the fire station and look for that light burning in the window. In the past, it meant that Walt was in the park, and it means the same thing today. Walt IS in the park, and you can feel his spirit, his enthusiasm, and his joy in every nook and cranny of that place. It makes Disneyland a very special place to be. I can't adequately explain it in words, but you feel it when you're there. It's wonderful.

Diane, I did not know the thing about the light - That's awesome.

It brings a lump to my throat every time I see it, Lissette (because I'm a big softie, lol). Here's a photo, and if you get the chance to go to DL, don't miss the "Walk in Walt's Footsteps" tour. You will get a chance to go inside that apartment. It's very special.

The story of the lamp gets me every time! Pete actually has a close-up shot of it as his profile picture on Facebook. Several of us saw it and Walt's apartment in person during a Backstage Magic Adventures by Disney trip. Chilling does not even begin to describe it!

Stephanie here.....I've been a member of the boards for a while (since we started planning our first trip) and have been listening to the podcast for about a year now. I love it -- it gives me a much-needed Disney fix each week and helps my evening commute go much faster. My favorite is Disney World, and specifically Epcot. That's our family's favorite park and we love it.

Hi I'm Bridgette,
I'm relatively new (within the past year), only have found the podcast team starting in September...

Hi all!

 

[SmithSmith]

Hiya! I'm a 30-something housewife who loves Disney, her Puggle, and her husband... but not in that order. Just returned from WDW last month from my first trip in 15 years and my husbands first trip ever. Luckily, he fell in love with it and we're hoping to get back there next christmas.

Been listening to the podcast for almost two years now, and relatively new to posting (and no longer lurking) at the boards.

Thanks for having me!

I'm new here! I've been looking over my mom's shoulder at the DIS boards since I was 8, but now I'm ready to join the conversation myself! My favorite park is California Adventure in Disneyland, but I like WDW better as a whole.
