Do your family and/or friends know you have a Disboarders account?

[Dan Murphy]

Sure. Marie, Vince, Natalie. Marie has an account here, @Lady M. She was active for about 3 years, 2000-2002, left when things went downhill back then. A very large family group of friends who are also Disney fans, know of the dis, they ask me questions when they are going to visit.


This link was forwarded to me.

Do yours?

Immediate family yes, extended family no.

 

[hhisc16]

DW knows that I run the DHHIR page on here.
Family just knows that I am on "that Disney board"

 

[BlueStarryHat]

My sister knows this board by name, nobody else in my family knows anything but that I post on a Disney forum. I'm not keeping it from them or anything, it just doesn't come up in conversation.

 

[TiggerTrigger]

I'm fairly active on two different Disney forums...disboards being one of them. In the early days, I may have mentioned them by name, but these days, I just say "one of my Disney groups." So, they know, but really couldn't care.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I will also say that my family humors my Disney leanings, but other wise could not care less...until they decide to go. Then suddenly I'm the fount of all Disney wisdom.

Only a couple.

My wife knows as I don't particularly want to hide online activity from her. No one else would care

 

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

Family, yes, others just know it as "the fluffy site"

To bad Disney removed the big blue hat. I wish they would bring it back.

Welcome to the Disboards.

Thanks! Folks seem nice and really into Disney lol.

Thanks! Folks seem nice and really into Disney lol.

And a variety of a number of other topics too. ️

 

[slo]

Yes and they know who to contact in case something happens to me. @Dan Murphy and @WDWEPCOT you’re the ones on the list

 

[wallawallakids]

Yep. In fact sometimes if I mention a random fact my kids will ask “Where did you learn that? From a podcast or the dis boards?”

 

[luvthatduke]

You know, I was thinking about low-key (Jason) the same day you started this thread, Buzz.
I was thinking about how we all found out that his family didn't know about him on here.
Most of us were very surprised.
Just thought I'd share that with you all... kind of interesting that my thoughts on Jason coincided
with this thread.

 

[FastPasser.]

I doubt any of them are aware that the DIS even exists. Because of my Disney Company connection, if any of them have a WDW question they just ask me.

 

[Dead2009]

Nope, nobody needs to know what forums I visit on my own personal laptop lol.

 

[lovesmurfs]

I mention it to DH from time to time, but he doesn't get why I'd keep interacting when I wasn't planning a Disney trip.

 

[princesscinderella]

Yep my family knows and my husband who watches more DFB videos on youtube for his Disney info will often ask me what the disboards has to say about disney news.
