I've been here since early 1998. I don't write very often but I read a lot of the posts. I had more posts, but a while back I suddenly couldn't log on anymore and I had to re-register. The first time we went to WDW was in 1984 and the next time wasn't until 1997 when our DD graduated. If only we had had the DIS back in 1997. Since then we have gone two to three times a year and have used many ideas from these boards. When did the DIS actually start? I was thinking that it wasn't too long before that because there were only a few thousand people here at that time.
