What is your favorite NON Disney park? and why?

Mornin'

It would have to be Sea World as I love dolphins and manatees and I'm not a big thrill ride girl! I love Discovery Cove too but it's not a 'must do' every trip (mostly because of the price!)

 

[wils]

how did you find the disboards?

From the Brits Guide back in 2004 when we were planning our first trip with DD and wanted to have a vague plan in place (Yep I had previously been to WDW with no plan and no list of busy park days )

have you always lived in the midlands ?

Nope, we previously lived in Redhill, Surrey but my husband's job was relocated. We weren't going to move as I loved my job but then we found out I was expecting (DD) and the thought of a cheaper mortgage (and a career break for me ) appealed so we took the offer.

good luck with all the questions ?

Thanks - I feel like I'm been eased in gently at the mo!

Same questions for you

What is your favourite Disney memory??

On the last night of our last trip we were in Magic Kingdom late (it was the night before Thanksgiving) DH decided that he wanted one last go on Space Mountain so I said I'd take DD (who'd just turned 2) to see the Princesses. We did this and then Wishes started. Molly was terrified and said she was scared and wanted Cinderella. So we went round to the queue which was very short and saw the Princesses. We went to see Minnie and then back to the Princesses again. Aurora recognised us and we explained we were waiting for Daddy.

When DH returned we decided to go and say goodbye to the Princesses and again there was no queue. Aurora asked DH how the ride had been and then asked her CM to shut the door to the room. When everyone else had left Aurora, Cindrella and Snow White danced with Molly and she had a photo taken with the 3 of them. She looks exhausted (we were trying to wear her out in the hope she'd sleep more than the 20 minutes she had on the flight out!)

What was your worst Disney experience??

None really yet! When I went as I child we were going round the world so only had 3 days in Florida. I was really ill on the flight out and so I was made to spend a day in bed Luckily i didn't know what I was missing!

Do you have a favourite Disney resort?

I have only stayed at All Star Movies and haven't seen them all. I love ASMo but I like the feel of Wilderness Lodge

 

[Madjock]

Good luck Jo

Who is your favourite Disney character?
what is your favourite Disney movie?
If you were only able to catch one which would it be Wishes or Illuminations?

 

[wils]

Hi Jo

If you could visit Orlando for 6 months - what resort/resorts would you stay at?

All of them (I guess that's cheating!)

We'd have to stop in at ASMo as Molly loves the pool and the decoration is such fun

Would love to chill at Wilderness Lodge. DH and DD liked the rocking chairs when we went to nose!

A few days at the Contempory - for convenience for MK and also as I loved the trip report about the conceirge service (sorry i can't remember who posted it!)

Also one of Boardwalk/ Yacht Club villas (if we could do a deal with a DVCer!) as I've never been over that way and the photos I've seen look lovely.

Then for convenience for I-drive the Nickelodeon Hotel and Hard Rock Hotel.

I think a month in each would be very nice!

 

[wils]

what did you do before the career break?

I worked as a Data Planner for the Direct arm (don't hate me Carol!) of a holiday company. It was my job to analyse data and make recommedations on brochure mailing programmes.

will you go back to it??

No - I have a good excuse as it was based near Gatwick Seriously the thought of dealing with hundreds of thousands of brochures and the associated postage costs fills me with horror these days (It was just major fear when I was in the job!)

if you could get retrained in any other career immediately what would you choose and why?

Um Good question! I have no idea! I guess being a seamstress would be useful at the moment as I could make DD's costumes for dancing rather than paying for them to be made.

 

[wils]

Do you have any pets?

No, just the kids

What's your favourite TV programme at the moment?

Really enjoying Prison Break. Also Bones, Heros and 24

What's the one thing you couldn't live without?

My car. I don't know how my friends who don't drive manage (especially one couple with 2 kids where neither drive)

Did you go to university?

I did, I studied Education and Mathematics at Reading

 

[carolfoy]

ha ha, I don't hate you (even I booked with TCD direct last year!)

is it snowing where you are?

do you like the snow?

can you ski?

 

[wils]

ha ha, I don't hate you (even I booked with TCD direct last year!)

is it snowing where you are?

Phew - glad we are OK on that one

No and the stuff that fell overnight has melted

do you like the snow??

I love the snow but hate the way the country seems to grind to a halt once a flake has fallen

can you ski?

No, can't imagine I'd be any good at it as I'm not the most co-ordinated!
