Hey, Matt here 33, pretty new to this, not new to Disney however. My parents were both 30+ year castmembers at
Disneyland so I pretty much grew up there in the 90s and 2000s. I wouldn't say I was ever a Disney freak, probably more so now, I just enjoyed going to the parks, in fact I actually like the character Snoopy more than any Disney character. Sorry if that is blasphemy here, but it is what it is. When my wife and I were looking for a place to get married, her dream was a to have a coach.....well Disney came to mind and we eventually got married in the Rose Court Garden at the Disneyland Hotel with the Cinderella coach. No there were no castmember discounts on that. We then honeymooned in WDW and did a cruise on the Wonder. This was back in 09 and next year, we'll be celebrating our 10th. We now have 2 girls, 6 and 3 currently and we thought next year would be the perfect age for them to experience WDW. We are a bit spoiled as my inlaws and treating our family with the 5-Night Bahamian Cruise next July. My wife and I will then take the girls ourselves to WDW for about 8 days staying at the Art of Animation (I'm not familiar with all abbreviations yet). Grandparents did not want to join us in the parks in July. I found this site by finding the
youtube podcast videos which are awesome. I think that crew does an amazing job. That's my story is a nutshell.
