Earning My Ears from Reading, Pennsylvania

Hello everyone.
I must admit that I've been following this website for about a year now. I don't exactly know why I never joined, but now that I'm planning my 2nd as an adult now and thought I would get more out of my trip this time around by actually becoming involved in the forums. I've been to Walt Disney World many many times as a child, and now that I'm 23 and have a full time job I can afford to go on my own /with a friend.

Last year I went April 25, 2009 - May 2, 2009 with my boyfriend and stayed at Coronado Springs Resort in 8B (Cabanas). It was a newly refurbished room and didn't even realize it until after the fact I came home and was showing people pictures and compared them to other rooms. I would love to stay in a refurbished room again because it was very clean, updated and just felt new.

Again this year I'm going April 25, 2010 - May 2, 2009 and staying at Coronado Springs again. This time I'm going with one of my high school friends of which I always find myself babbling about Disney to her. She couldn't take it anymore and told me if I book a trip again she'll gladly tag along and see what it's all about. She almost seems to be more excited then I am at times.

Last year I booked directly through Disney and paid full price. A few months after returning home I received a promo code for 30% off Value, 35% off Moderate and 40% off Deluxe resorts. I called around to about 5 different places to get quotes and AAA gave me the best price including airfare and deluxe dining plan. I'm glad that the price is nearly half the cost it was last year.

My main reason for posting this thread was to figure out how to make a signature for when you post. I like how everybody lists quotes, trips and other things at the bottom.

First off, welcome to the Disboards. Glad that you came out of "lurkdom". If you want to come join me on my trip report or in my pre-trip report, just click on one of the links in my signature. We'd love to have you over.

Second, adding a signature is easy. See the User CP tab about two inches down on the left hand side of your screen? Click that. Then click Edit Signature. Put in the information you want and hit submit.

Congradulations and Welcome Home!! You have great taste in resorts. We stayed at Coronado Springs last April and loved the place!! We are going to stay at AKL this stay in June, but we would love to get back to CSR someday soon.

Welcome to the obsession!

Really, I'm glad you found a friend that will allow you to talk endlessly. My poor family gets so sick of me talking about Disney. However, they are STUCK with me!

Thank you all for Welcoming me!
I've visited the other resorts before and stayed at Caribbean Beach Resort in 2005 when I went with my concert chorus at school. I liked the resort but I didn't love it. We went on some walking tours of the other resorts and found out they're all unique. I just pick Coronado Springs over the others because I'm in love with Pepper Market. I could eat a tuna steak from there every night if I was around.

Yes, it is very good to have somebody to share my obsession with.
