Disney World's single biggest tourist market is.....New Jersey?

[5dizneynutz]

Another born and bred South Jersey girl here! We live in Virginia now and can't find pork roll here either, what's up with that?!!! Not to mention, no Tasticakes(been so long I can't even spell it right), good pizza, good hoagies or any hoagies for that matter, and don't even get me started about the rolls!!!! We realllllyyyyy miss Jersey!!! Hopefully someday we'll be back. Well said,KCMiller and ncbyrne!!

Let's not forget that Disney thought enough of NJ to plan a resort around the Boardwalk! By the way Taylor Ham is made in Trenton. (so is Cases and Trenton Pork Roll)

Just remembered - last trip we were at the AC, in the Mask Room, and Pamela asked us where we were from. We, of course, answered NJ. She reacts with, ". . . New Jersey, how many others are from New Jersey?" About 3/4's of those present raised their hands. She then proceeded to announce to all the CMs and others present, "watch out, we've got another NJ crowd tonight!" Obviously, our reputations preceed us. I believe we have a huge reserve of unrealized, untapped power here.

Now, we just need a master plan . . .

5Disneynuts --

I am from NJ but livd in Northern Virginia on and off since 1988. The lack of good pizza and hoagies is amazing. You know it's bad when you have to order Domino's. And what is up with places selling pizza and gyros, or pizza and fried chicken? Scary.

Thankfully I'm back in Jersey and live right down the street from a great pizzeria.

I feel for you!

Cool, I would have never known.
GO JERSEY!

The first state we drive through on our way to WDW is New Jersey!!

I'm originally from NJ , but was one of those people that couldn't wait to leave! All I have to do to feel like I'm back in NJ is go to WDW because it seems like WDW is always full of people from Jersey. And to that I say...

Keep on coming! Your well spent dollars are keeping me from now paying state income tax! (I'm now a Florida resident).

Let's hear it for Jersey!

 

[poohlvr]

I'd never forget the best part of NJ - FAMILY!!! Even if some of them are a little *north* of the state, Poohlvr !!

Hey -
When people ask me where I live, I say JERSEY, I just work in MA!!


JERSEY GIRLS, Best in the WORLD!

 

[northcapemaymom]

Born and bred Jersey Girl here! I love WDW, hoagies, Jersey corn, pork roll (egg and cheese optional), blueberries, and I love living near the "wudder". No wonder WDW feels like home; everyone from the state is there! Jersey folks rock! GSP Exit 0.

 

[Luv4Disney]

We've been there for Jersey week and it's not that bad. But now we've upgraded to annual passes and plan on going at least twice a year. Can't help it! Disney is addicting. And besides, us Jersey people really aren't bad at all.

 

[TapCat]

Hey, let's all go "down the shore!" My favorite Jersey expression!

 

[Lancer]

currently live in Indiana but grew up in Jersey. Grandview Ave in Edison(off RT 1 by Menlo Park) Wont make it on Jersey week, but have plans for end of January.

 

[5dizneynutz]

Thanks for feeling my pain henrylovespooh!!! I forgot to mention the strange looks I get down here when I say "wooder" I think they're the ones that say it wrong!!

I too am a Jersey Girl at heart. Now a FL resident for only a month. I already miss the pork roll and cheese on the grill, the boardwalk sausage and summer sausage. Only the Trenton people probably know what that is. Can't say I'll miss the winter though. Born in Trenton and lived in Jackson (yes Great Adventure is in Jackson NJ not Philadelphia like all the advertising says) I'm glad to have left the high taxes behind, but I'd like you all to know that I am paying (yes) double the car insurance I was there for the same coverage. Yeah, you can get it cheaper, but you have no coverage. Homeowners is almost triple here. I hope I made some of your days

Oh yeah, I'll be sure to visit next summer and meet you all "down the shore"

Keep up the good work New Jersey.

 

[Me&Mic]

NCBryne - you must tell us the movie where you are credited as the Pork Roll Gaffer. That is such an EXCELLENT story that I'll rent the movie just to see it!!!

 

[Luigi's Girl]

Yet another born and bred "Jersey Girl" here. Exit 114 on the GSP. "Jersey Week" is our favorite time to go to WDW.

 

[jordgubben]

Another Jersey Girl here. Just have to say, it's "subs" not "hoagies."

I love Jersey. I just about told my now husband on our second date that "if this goes anywhere you have to understand that we'll be living in Jersey (he's from PA... WESTERN PA).

And by golly, I hope I never have to pump my own gas!!!


As for the quesion, "what exit?"
<----

 

[awatt]

Another Jersey Girl checking in. We now live in Saratoga Springs but have a house "down the shore" for our necessary Jersey fixes. And we'll be there Jersey week this year too. See you all there!
