Hello, I'm Jana. I've been here a little over 3 years. I found the DIS when planning a trip to WDW.
Age well a true lady never tells that now do we . I'm a hair/ tanning salon owner / stylist. I have a son that is 7. We both absolutely love Disney and plan on moving to Fla some day.

I also met my best friend and partner ( Vernon) on these boards. We'll be together 3 years in May. As they say it all started with a mouse LOL.

Hi I'm Janice (otherwise known as Matts Mom, as DS is registered)

I'm 50 (today) married to Paul 48, have 2 sons, Matt (14) and Jamie(12)

Both Paul and myself work for our local council, (myself part time )
Have been lrking on these boards for years before Matt persuaded me to register.
Am currently in planning mode for our trip in May - will be meeting BevS for an illuminations cruise. This will be our 5th "once in a lifetime" holiday to Florida. We've also been to DLP 3 times. May be California one day?

[Hilary]

HI I'm Hilary and I've been a DISer for about three years and a moderator for the last nine months or so - and I <b>love</b> it all

I'm married, with two DDs aged 17 and 13, we live in Swansea, although I'm originally from SE London (so that's evened things out with Lemur moving <i>to</i> London <i>from</i> Swansea!).

We've been to Florida six times as a family (and I managed to sneak in a seventh trip without them ) and are planning our next trip this October with a whole bunch of DH's family as well.

We joined the Disney Vacation Club last year and I can't tell you how excited I am at the prospect of spending the next 40 years planning return trips to my favourite holiday destination!

 

[Nita]

Hello I'm Anita

first found this site back in Oct last year while getting info for our 1st trip sept 2001
we were hooked straight away and are returning Jan 2003

We love our holidays sooner have memories than money
We have a camper van. If we have any free time and we are away

 

[Mrs Dazzle]

Hi - I'm Annie (41), married to Darryl (Dazzle on the Dis, 42), DD Katie (9). I work in PR until July and Darryl is a Sales Manager.

We live in the New Forest - beautiful today with the sun shining!

I originally come from London (yeyyyyyyy), but moved down in 84. I am a QPR fan (NO sympathy, please), fanatical motor racing fan and really don't like Michael Schumacher. DH is fanatical Arsenal supporter (brainwashed DD so she thinks she is too).

I first went to Orlando back in 82 - my brother's then girlfriend "treated" me for my belated 21st. It started out as a long weekend trip to Disney World, because that was my lifetime's ambition (it ended up being 4 weeks of bliss travelling around Orlando and down to the Gulf Coast on the way home from Miami). When I saw Cinderella's castle I decided that if ever I had children, I would hopefully take them there. Well, we've only got the one, but my "holiday of a lifetime" came in 1998 - accompanied by MIL (but that's another story.....). Suffice to say, we've been back each year since to make up for that trip and off again this October.... can't wait

The DIS site is almost like a family member thingy - we used to get excited when we first joined last June when "famous" people like Hilary, Bonzo, FatMan Dave etc would reply!!

We just love it

 

[Fantasia Sam]

I have a great sense of deja-vous here

Well I'm Sam (short for Samantha, my gender has sometimes been a bone of contention on these here boards but I am well and truly female )

I am 32 (33 in April). I have been on the boards since May 2000 although you wouldn't know it from the number of threads I DON'T seem to have posted! You will notice that my favourite disney character (see below) is one that represents me well - they say that owners look like their dogs......well I think we should start thinking about whether or not we emulate our favourite disney characters

I work and live in Wimbledon in Human Resources for an e-business solution and IT training Company which is a laugh. I get to be responsible for all the recruitment for the company which is scary.

I made my first trip to Orlando in 1996 as a pre-wedding holiday and got hooked. Always wanted to actually stay on-site and the dream has come true for my 5th trip in early May when I am staying at the Yacht and Beach Club - yeah. I am also hoping to attend the DIS-Con II in early December so fingers crossed for that one.

I have attended several DIS meets and intend on attending more as I just can't get enough of you all

So C U all on the boards.......next.....

 

[BONZO]

The DIS site is almost like a family member thingy - we used to get excited when we first joined last June when "famous" people like Hilary, Bonzo, FatMan Dave etc would reply!!

Annie - you'll make us all BLUSH !


You hit the nail right on the head - this is a GREAT community and long may it remain so - It's the reason why, 1 year on, I'm still here!

Simon (Lemur) - just wanted to add my "welcome" to the boards!

Enjoy - the "locals" are friendly.

 

[Carol Ann UK]

Hi Everyone.

I'm Carol, (44), married for 24 years, and have 2 DS aged 17 and 14.

I found this site after my DH bought Simons book as a Christmas Prezzie in 2000 in preparation for a holiday on October 2001. I lurked for a little while until joining the old UK Dis boards in April 2001 I think.

Everyone one here is truly friendly and helpful, and it really is a community.

I live in Bognor Regis, West Sussex and work full time for the local County Council as a Pensions Administrator, and my DH is a Paramedic.

Our 1st visit to Orlando was in 1997 when we stayed at Allstars, and we went again last October when we stayed at the Rodeway Inn on International Drive.

Not sure when we might be able to go again as we moved house last week.

But here's hoping!!

Carol

 

[PigSoldier]

Hi everyone!!!

I'm Suzi, 17, I've been posting on the Teen Board for as long as I can remember, but I'd like to post here more often

I've been to WDW twice, and I'm going to DLP for the fourth time this July.

My favourite film ever is Sleeping Beauty, I think its the most beautiful, magical film ever made. My favourite characters are Maleficent's goons, which is how I got my username.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get to know all of you a lot better,

Suzi
