Confessions of a lurker

Hi, Maggi. Glad you're joining us.:sunny: I lurked for quite a few months before I started posting. I bet a lot of us did.::yes::

It IS a great group of Disney lovers here.

Have a wonderful trip and we'll be waiting to hear all about it!
 
Welcome to the DIS, <b>weloveprincesses</b>. I'm very glad you found us and I hope you can visit often. Now that you have "delurked" no fair lurking any longer ;)

Welcome...

Okay, I admit too. I have been an off and on lurker for 2 years! We planned our first trip to WDW in 2002...I found this board then and I come here almost every day since then!

Now that we are a little over a month away from our November trip...I lurk here every day.

I made "veteran" last week. I was so proud of myself.

This place ROCKS for all Disney Fans. This is the place to come to find out anything and everything that you ever wanted to know about Disney.

I may not always post each day...but I love this place!
 
Welcome to The DIS !:wave:

I think I only lurked for a few days before I registered and posted.

I have WebTv , not a computer.
After we got WebTv all hooked up, the very first thing I did was a search for Disney World. In a few days I discovered The DIS message boards. I remember calling out to my DH to look at this site on my TV screen.I swear I had a tear in my eye, as I read that so many people were just like me.

We really are a family.
 

Welcome! I wanted to let you know --now that you're not lurking anymore--that we run a support group in front of the Castle at 12noon daily for all of us Dis Boards Addicts. The problem has been participation. Noone is showing up---they're all out having fun.....Enjoy your trip!

Del:sunny:
 
So glad you're happy here too!

Wait to you get back from your trip and have the answer to someone else's question! I was so excited I knew the answer, I was bouncing up and down,:Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: shouting, I know!! I know!!

Everyone here is so helpful!

Have a great trip!:wave:
 
It's nice to see all you lurkers coming out of lurker-dom! :)

Welcome weloveprincesses. :wave2:

Watch for our blue lips this January! We're at the Beach Club, and I know my kids will want to be in that pool. We're from the northeast, and the Atlantic doesn't get warm until the end of August, so we're used to the chill.

Don't worry about blue lips. The water's heated. The lips will ONLY turn blue when you have to get out and walk back to the room! :)
 
OMG, you guys are so great! What a welcome, how could anyone stay away with people like you here? I'm happy to see I'm not the only lurker (exlurker?) After the initial joy has worn off from finding a place with such a wealth of information, guilt sets in at taking said information and not passing any back. Hopefully I can pass on something to someone else, waiting, waiting, waiting for that upcoming trip so I can report back!

hygienejean-we are staying off site actually....we've done the resort twice and loved it, last two times, including this one, we invited friends and family and paid for it (what were we thinking?) so the resort really wasn't a good idea for us. We figured with 9+ people going, even with car rental and food we'd save money renting a house. (we're not economy living sort of people! We like the finer disney resorts! LOL) We've had good luck so far, knock wood, with homeowners, although the Disney resorts are great too. I liked both.

We are hitting MNSSHP on the 12th. I can't wait. My dd's (5 and 2) are very excited. Even the two year old, I can't imagine she has any clue what we're doing but she's pumped every time we talk about our trip. She'll be the cutest Alice in Wonderland you've ever seen walking around the party. When are you going?

Nativetxn-funny, I grew up in MI and now live in Texas! Not Houston, but the DFW area. My dad still lives in mushy michigan (oh how I detested those winters. especially when all the snow turned grey and started to melt.) in about the middle of the mitt, between Alma and Grand Rapids. Are you familiar with that area by chance?

I've been to other boards where I've introduced myself and have gotten no reponse. You have impressed me beyond belief. My hats (ears?) off to you all. I promise to keep posting. May not be every day, but I'll be here.

Hi Maggi,

We will be at MNSSHP on the 12th also! My kids are: DS 4 and DD 2 so we will be in the same boat so to speak. (I expect her to fall asleep fairly early...)My DD will be Snow White and my DS will be Woody from Toy Story. (Not too easy fitting that hat in the suitcase I'll tell you!
;) ) We are also travelling with a large group. There will be 10 of us in all. (we are staying at the Boardwalk Villas in a 3 bedroom condo...so excited to see that) We are going with my parents and my sister and her family. My twin neices are 5 and they will be Minnie Mouse and Ariel. The adults are wearing halloween t-hirts to MNSSHP, no costumes. Say hi if you see us!
 
Maggi, my husband travels a lot over the state of Michigan. I have some knowledge of the center of the Mitt, I live there myself, near Lansing.

I'm so glad you "delurked" now you are part of our family :)
 
Hi, My name is puggymom and I too was a lurker.

I just registered last week after lurking for a few months.
 
Welcome to the DIS, <b>puggymom!</b> Remember, now that you have "delurked" you can't lurk anymore ;) Visit us often, okay?
 
I've learned for a long time, too. I just wish I had more time to spend here.
 
Welcome, <b>Tink561</b>! The DIS is very addicting, I hope you find more time to visit us :)
