I love these types of threads!!!
And since my friend Darcy already posted....I'll fill the rest of you in on my story.
I joined these boards because I have a love for Disney and enjoy going to my "happy place" as often as possible. I mostly read the threads about planning trips and resort reviews. One day I decided to stop in and "lurk" on the single's board. I noticed a group of other people from New England. I started posting with them and we all decided that we wanted to meet as a group. We picked a Casino in CT as a good arena with plenty of people and excitement so no one would feel obligated or uncomfortable meeting. I took the reigns and started planning and another person on the boards offered to help. His screen name is Buena Vista (Tom). We started planning rooms, dinner, meet-ups, etc. It got difficult to do over email, so he called one night and that's when the magic happened. Trust me when I say that I hate talking on the phone...I hate it, but we would stay on the phone for hours and hours. We decided that we both liked each others personalities and character. We decided to meet in person before the "official" meet at the casino. We fell in love. Tom is in Boston and I am in Vermont, but after two years, we are still making it work. Every other weekend one of us travels to the others home. We vacation together multiple times a year. We often go to Disney and meet up with our VERY special Disney friends. One day we will figure out this distance thing! Tom has a very successful career with the government and I have kids that are tied to family in VT, but someday we will make the distance thing work!
