I'm definitely an old timer and have been here from almost the beginning. This is my second name as a matter of fact. I quit for a while and then signed up again. Geesh, I wonder where all of those posts came from though.
I'd be interested in knowing when "the beginning" was. When did this site get started? I don't know how long really it had been here when I came in fall of '98.
Hi from another pre-crasher here! Wow, just realized how long I've been coming to these boards. With all the years of experience I've had, I should become a professional lurker!
Fortunately I have a day job that allows me to continue my lurking existence daily....life with my new twin grandsons certainly has been hectic, so I have very little time to DIS on my own time!
I'm not really an old timer, but I'm not a newbie either! Hello to everyone new and old, and a big hi to Dan, and a thank you for always posting smile ~ making threads!
I have been here for a while and I still lurk and post on a regular basis. The DIS, especially the CB, has helped me through many things over the years. It has also helped increase our addiction to Disney trips!
GEM, I remember missing my FIRST DIS meet of YOURS eons ago! I drove down with a friend who had to stop every hour and we were too late to go. I was so upset, I really wanted to meet you and everyone!
Hi, Jenny! I had a ball at that DIS Meet!
LOL, luvmydogs... only the old timers remember the Corn stories!!! OMG where IS WillyJ?????
Hi Dan! Nice to see you all. I can't believe how long I've been on here either! I registered in Feb of 2000 (this is my anniversary I guess!) because we were planning our first trip for Dec 2000. It was such a great experience, we have been going for Christmas & Easter each year since (well, except for 2003 when my Mom was very ill) 2000!
There are still lots of missing people that I'm interested in seeing if they respond to this thread.
Thanks for starting this thread. I'm not old and not so new. I've lurked here since 2002 when I planned a family trip. I finally signed up in 2004 and have truly enjoyed being a part of the DIS community.
I miss all of those late night posts with you, Hes, and lilboo keeping us "oldsters" entertained with your antics and tales of college life and term papers and pulling all-nighters!
I will never forget your story about pumping gas!!
